    Great for the price, does everything it should. The battery doesn’t last super long though

    Apple watches are just plain solid are if you're into tech gadgets, this is a very useful one to have with your iPhone. I love it that I can go running with this and it not only keeps track if my workout, but I can play my music with it connected to my bluetooth earbuds.

    This is the 6th Apple Watch I have purchased (about to purchase #7!) for my myself and my family and I couldn't be happier. I have personally tried several high-end smartwatches (Fenix 3HR, Samsung Gear Frontier, Fenix 5X, Suunto Spartan Sport) and can honestly say that no smart watch even comes close, although the Suunto is a close 2nd!

    Fantastic bit of kit, highly recommend purchasing it. You can monitor calls, txt and emails just by looking at your watch, tell Siri to txt/call someone while driving and people don’t even realize you’re talking through your watch while keeping your hands on the steering wheel!!! Can’t tell you how pleased I am!!

    You cannot go wrong with the Series 3 at this price point. For a full smart watch at under 200 dollars is an outstanding value. Even with the recent release of the series 5, this watch still holds up. It’s durable, great battery, fast and responsive. This is a great gift option for anyone looking for a smart watch!

    I do love all the features and it is fairly easy to use. Love the way it syncs up with my other Apple products. The battery life is horrendous (Have to charge in less than 48 hours) and trying to update it is a chore. I have not added many apps to it, maybe 2-3, but when I try and do an update it tells me I dont have enough storage. So each time, which seems like a lot, I have to completely reset my watch so it cleans it up. Then I can do the update, which seems to take longer than my iPhone. It's annoying.

    Purchases as a gift for our 15 year old son. He runs cross country so we wanted the GPS functions for tracking his milage. Being a typical teen, he has to stay connected to his friends and he thinks it is cool to text via voice through the watch. He easily connected it to his phone and keeps discovering new things he can do each day

    This watch serves every purpose I need it to. I love how accessible all the timers and other apps are at a few touches and all I have to do is raise my wrist to read a text or email. As much as a nuisance one might think, the exercise reminder apps really help foster some better life style habits to be a little more healthier.

    We purchased this for our mom and she was so excited to receive it. This model is sleek and very easy to set up. You need to have at least an iPhone 7 or newer for it to be compatible. I love it that Best Buy price match. They matched the price of one of their competitors. We love it and she loves it!!!

    Bought this about 1.5 years ago on sale. It’s been a solid fitness watch/tracker. Series 3 has worked great for me but I’m thinking about upgrading to a new model soon. With so little storage on the 3, I’m not sure how long I can keep updating it before it basically becomes unusable/obsolete. Also, but a different Watch band — the ones that comes on it gave me a rash. I use Velcro fabric bands and they feel & look way better (and no skin irritation).

    Excellent choice! It was a gift for my wife and it truly provides many specs that we don’t even know we need. She’s had it for over a year and uses it every single day with a variety of bands for different occasions. Definitely recommended!

    We're very happy with the series 3. It does everything we need it to do and we felt that we wouldn't be using all the series 4 has, thus, saving quite a bit of money.
