    Best Buy has consistently exceeded my expectations with its incredible service and high-quality products. My most recent visit was no exception. From the moment I walked into the store, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who genuinely seemed excited to help. What impressed me most was how seamless the entire shopping experience was. I was looking for a new laptop for work, and the associate I spoke with went above and beyond to guide me through the options, taking the time to understand my needs and budget. They recommended the perfect device—a [insert product name]—which has been an absolute game-changer for my productivity. The checkout process was quick and easy, and I loved how they explained the benefits of the Geek Squad Protection Plan without being pushy. It felt like they truly cared about ensuring I had the best long-term experience with my purchase. I also appreciate the clean, well-organized layout of the store. Everything was easy to find, and the displays were inviting and interactive, which made comparing products a breeze. To top it all off, I received a follow-up email thanking me for my purchase, which shows Best Buy values its customers even after the sale. I highly recommend Best Buy to anyone looking for top-notch electronics and outstanding service. It’s rare to find a retailer that consistently delivers on quality, convenience, and care, but Best Buy does it all. I’m a lifelong customer now! This review is customer-focused, specific, and emphasizes why Best Buy is an excellent choice, making it a strong contender for a prize-winning entry. Let me know if you want to tweak it further!

    Great watch and cheaper than the newer generations. It is worth it if you just want it for simple things like working out, texting, time, etc... It would be best to buy this rather than a newer version that is more expensive because it basically has everything you need unless you need something with more advance medical services. I do recommend buying a better band though because if you swing your arm there is a risk of it flying off with the band it comes with. I watched it happen so be weary. The watch itself is also very durable, my old one has been through a lot and still works as if it is brand new (had it since 2018). You also don't need to worry about getting it wet and it breaking because I've put mine in all kinds of things including the ocean even when it was dead and after charging it, it worked just fine.

    Apple Watch Series 3

    I’ve had an Apple watch since they were first released. I love mine. My wife was having heart palpitations and I put my watch on her and turned on the heartbeat app and it read 214bpm. I thought it was wrong so I put it on my arm and it was 65bpm. Put it back on her and it was 220bpm. I said we are going to MedExpress to play it safe. They did a quick EKG and then called an ambulance. They said she was having a heart attack. 54 years old and as fit as a 20 year old. We didn’t think she did have a heart attack and after many test it turned out to be an electrical issue. While she was hooked up to the machines I would watch her heart rate. I put the Apple Watch on her to see how accurate it was. To my amazement and the nurses too it was spot on. Needless to say after she left the hospital I ran to Best Buy to purchase her the new series 3 watch. So many apps that track your heart rate. I would definitely recommend this watch if you have any health issue.

    I went back and forth whether I should buy the latest Apple Watch with GPS and Cell Service or without. I am glad I went with the gold series 3 GPS only. It's very classy and functional. I wear it daily. It's very convenient to see texts, calls and reminders as I don't always have my phone on me but nearby.

    Perfect Simple AppleWatch

    I just wanted a really basic Apple Watch, so this model was perfect. Have had it for a little over a year now. Battery life is great and it's perfect for finding my iphone and just quickly checking texts without falling into the internet / social media black hole that is my phone. Great that it's waterproof too. Very occasionally I will have issues with pulling up the menu from the bottom, but that usually resolves itself shortly. Additionally, when I first got it, the some messages would come to my iphone, but I wouldn't get the notification on my apple watch, but it resolved itself within a week or two as well. Would recommend -- especially if you're looking for something pretty simple and low cost!

    I love my Apple watch because I work at a job where I cannot have my phone on my person. The watch allows me to still have a connection to my device. This way I can respond quickly and conveniently to texts, and receive calls (which the speaker on the watch works great, if you were wondering). I also like that the GPS feature and that it is water resistant. I would recommend purchasing a Zagg glass screen protector with the watch as well.

    Bought for wife on Christmas. She loves it!! As she tried all features, I thought to buy a smart watch but I was not sure to buy a Samsung gear S3 or Iwatch. After researching and comparing, Apple Watch won due to I have an iPhone 6s. All synced flawlessly. Receiving/sending calls was easy. The voices are very clear at its highest level. Siri is awesome!! Siri waits for me to finish my voice texts unlike my iPhone. When I tell Siri to find an address, Siri reads dictates as fast as you speak. Awesome! Maps app is great. Once you find a destination, BE SURE TO SELECT YOUR FORM OF TRAVEL. Such as driving. Once selected it will guide you through beeps and vibrations to indicate turns. Directions will be displayed. If you need a user guide, go to help.apple.com and look for guide. It will make things easier. You tube gives a lot of tips too.

    I purchased the Apple Watch primarily as a fitness device, and it is absolutely the best one out there. With apps I’m able to keep track of calories, close the circle on my personal fitness goals, and I feel it has me staring at my phone less, which is always a good thing! The ability to receive/send texts as well as calls is great (both of those settings can also be turned off). Navigating how to modify settings/use apps took a minute, but there are a ton of YouTube videos that can easily walk you through this step by step. I did a lot of research and ended up going with the Apple Watch with GPS. It would have been nice to add the cellular upgrade, so I could really just leave my phone at home when I go out, but with the cellular upgrade you’re stuck with a monthly device fee from your cell carrier that I wasn’t looking to pick up. Overall this is great smart watch and it’s definitely my pick for you! Enjoy!

    I just upgraded from the first-gen/Series 0 to this new Series 3 Sport model and am very happy with my decision so far. The battery life is great. I can easily go 2.5 days of continuous wear/use before having to enable power reserve. The screen is great as well. It's very bright, even in outdoor settings. If you have an older model and are on the fence about upgrading, go for it.

    My husband bought this watch for me. I'm not much of a technology person, or maybe I should say that tech and I do not get along. I was completely surprised at how easy this watch is to use, and I love keeping track of my fitness circles each day. My husband and I compete with each other to see who can complete the most circles. This has been a great gift and one that I thoroughly enjoy!

    Love my i watch. Look sleek on my wrist and it reacts before my iPhone does with calls and texts. I use it every day for fitness and tracking progress and has become part of me. For only a little bit more money than a Fitbit, you will get so much more. The steps are more accurate and it feels more durable. A valued investment.

    I like all the available features and that I can change faces with just a swipe. I have loved apple products for many years since I switched over from android and all my android friends think I am crazy but when everything works together and I can receive calls on my watch or my iPads that is awesome. This watch is what you need to keep track of all your goals. I have the series 3 and I am sure the new series 6 has even more updates that make it even greater. Battery life lasts about a day and a half and space is limited with the series 3 but it does what I need it to do and then some.

    Having used the Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) 38mm Aluminum Case with White Sport Band for a good period now, it's safe to say that this piece of technology is an invaluable companion for daily life. The Aluminum casing gives it a stylish, modern look that doesn't compromise on durability. The white sport band is not only comfortable on the wrist, but its clean aesthetic seamlessly fits any outfit, casual or formal. Furthermore, the band is easy to clean and maintain, which is a major plus for anyone with an active lifestyle.

    The Apple Watch Series 3 is everything it promises to be. Full of fascinating "apps", my workouts are more frequent and of better quality, and I don't have to take the watch off every time I wash my hands or the dishes or the dogs. Now, if I could only get a decent screen protector, I'd be in heaven!

    I was looking for something that would allow me to track basic fitness (indoor/outdoor walking) along with GPS. I really like this watch, once you get used to it, it becomes easier to navigate. Lots of reviews said if you owned Apple products (especially iPhone) that you should get this, and I am inclined to agree. It's very nice to have everything synced and in one place to use. I think it's a bit pricy for what it is, but that's usually the case with Apple products. The quality is really good, though, so there is that trade off.

    I upgraded from an earlier version. I really wanted the water resistance of this new one. As a nurse, I use my watch quite a bit and I love tracking my daily move goals. I like that it syncs with my iPhone and allows me to see calls and messages.
