    This is my 2nd Apple Watch. My husband gave me the series 2 for my birthday years ago but it dropped so I was sad when it cracked. I got the screen protector now. I got this for Mother’s Day and it does everything that I want it to do. I mostly used it to tracked my workout.

    My husband bought me the Apple Watch as a gift. I previously used a polar watch for fitness tracking and needed to replace it. My husband convenienced me to upgrade to the Apple Watch. So far, so good. I will say this band is not good for working out, but replacement bands are plentiful for it.

    I decided to purchase the Apple Watch to help me remember to get up and move around the office. It is easy to loose track of time with reports, web meetings, emails and data analysis. It was a very smart investment to make me think about exercise and then do something about it.

    Got this for my wife as a bday gift and she loves it. She’s not too crazy about the latest technology so it works perfect for her to track fitness and read alerts (she’s a school teacher)

    I like seeing the messages and phone calls without having to look at my phone. Having just the GPS works well for me since my phone is usually nearby but not necessarily with me so I can see who is calling or texting. Fitness apps coordinate well with the watch too.

    Battery/charger stopped working after 2 weeks

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Watch worked great for 2 weeks with easy pairing/installation with my iPhone. Battery lasted 2-3 days between charges until the charging mechanism began failing. The watch would not charge and the only screen I could see is the "green snake of death." I was unable to reboot the watch in any fashion once this happened. I attempted to charge the watch using a different charger with no luck. I will now be working with Apple Customer Service since Best Buy will not accept returns after 15 days of receipt. This may just be a bad "apple," but I advise others to stay away from this product.

    Daily Circles keep me busy

    The Red (Move), Green (Exercise) and Blue (Stand) circles keep me active and busy. The alerts reminding me to stand and move are helpful. It works while I'm on the treadmill, swimming, or even just walking around the house. After swimming, showering or washing dishes, I drain the water from my watch. Clever design.

    My boyfriend gave me this watch for Christmas and I love it. I never own an Apple Watch before so I was really excited to get this! So far it’s a great watch I love all the features it has. Even though I’m still a little bit new to using this I’m still getting use to it.

    It’s great and perfect for someone who can’t get to their phone right away. I exchanged mine for a cellular one but that’s just me because my phone is not near me often but for most people who have their phone by them all day the GPS only one is definitely worth it!

    Excellent little device to quickly check messages, emails, and of course the time! I’ll have my hands full at work most of the time, so it’s nice to simply glance over the watch for the previously mentioned. Also greatly useful for hiking or other physical activities and keeps a log of your exercising. Since it’s a 3rd gen, it suffers from a little lag from time to time unfortunately. Bought it on sale as a “trial” to see if this smartwatch would be useful and it certainly is, so I’ll likely upgrade to the current gen eventually.

    Really good

    I really like most everything about this watch. I can answer the phone from another room, see text messages & so much more. The one thing I'm having issues with is the exercise tracking. It seems to not see quite all the time I'm exerting myself. Not sure how to fix it, but compared to the capacity of the watch, I'll deal. I'm a rather petite girl, so I bought the 38 so it doesn't look obnoxious on my arm. I think I made the right decision there. I did buy a band that has the magnet clasp & a bumper as i find the counter too many times in the day, I don't want to replace the face if I don't have to.

    Bought this for my wife, she LOVES IT!!! She’s not worn a watch in years, but was interested in this one after talking to other family members. I took a chance with this one not completely knowing what to expect. I’m glad I took the chance with this one.

    My sister was going to Spain for her birthday and I decided to get her this as a gift. I'm glad i did because she got pick pocketed unfortunately but was able to locate the guy because of the watch! Unfortunately he had already wiped the phone and sold it but at least he was arrested.

    Apple Watch has numerous options, but easy to use

    The watch is great to receive text messages. The timer is easy to use. The health, steps, and heart rate are invaluable. The feature to set an alert for an elevated heart rate is a great health feature. I especially like the reminder to stand up. I never expected a watch with so many options to be so easy to use.

    So I was looking for an Apple Watch for my wife when she broke hers but could find any older generation the 3rd. When I saw the price for a brand new Apple Watch I was surprised but checking out I saw the refurbished Apple watches for a lower price. I read the condition of it and levels of refurbished meant so I sets pick up date and time. When I want for the watch I was surprised to hear that when the Best Buy geek squad member told that the person who bought returned brand new I was like “what a steal”, the only thing was that it didn’t come with a charger which was fine because has a charger from the one that was broken. So when walking out of Best Buy I have to say that this was the CLEANEST non scratched, no sweat marked watch I’ve seen that’s refurbished. My was sketchy about it first but after giving it a chance she’s completely happy with it. I’ve told my friends on how I got the watch and now they’re considering buying one as well that’s refurbished.

    The apple watch 3 offers all the functions I need, and is a great device. As an avid workout junkie, my main driver for purchasing the watch was to be able to keep track of my workouts and calories burnt. The interface is easy with seamless connection to my other devices.
