    So I first purchased the 42mm gps/cellular, was nice, but after putting a case on, it became extremely large and clunky. The 38mm looks great with a case on, perfect size for any gender (I’m a 6ft 180lb male). Also dont bother with the cellular version, it’s so spotty it’s nit worth the extra $ for the watch or the 10$m for the service. The gps alone works 100% solid (when near phone) Great watch (38mm gps)

    We've bought two different fitbits in the past for her and she never wore either of them consistently. I was wary of buying this for the same reason. She wears it all day every day, never forgets to charge it, and uses it quite extensively. She's an apple fangirl so that might have helped. Battery life is Great, apps are hit or miss (some are completely worthless copies of phone apps, most 3rd party apps only replicate apple app functionality). By the way, this 3rd gen gold is "not rose gold" like the gen 2, it is just "gold" according to Apple and Best Buy. However, it IS a rose gold color. She was pleasantly surprised by that.

    I absolutely love my Apple Watch. Keep track of my workouts and steps. Plus get texts while I’m working. I decided to get the GPS only because I always have my phone for WiFi and didn’t want the extra monthly cost for cellular. Plus the cellular watches are like $100 more. I can download playlists on my watch for runs or workouts on the go when I don’t want to carry my phone.

    Best money I’ve ever spent after wasting so much on Fitbit! I’ve had too many problems with Fitbit and now they can’t keep up. Love my Apple Watch, I’ve already testing the waterproof feature, it tracks all my workouts even boxing! I get all of my notifications, emails and reminders on my screen! The best Watch I’ve ever owned, my husband even got one!

    watch is stylish, user-friendly.. link to phone is so convenient.. intuitive reminders and fitness tracking make this a just have.. the watch is also very comfortable yet secure on wrist. Another obvious positive is that it is 'waterproof' - a definite must have. Would highly recommend this purchase

    I bought this product for my sister and she loved it. It helps her in the gym, tracking time, seeing messages etc. it beneficial to not looking at her phone all the time. Also if you have a small wrist I recommend this product because it’s the perfect size.

    I had a Fitbit charge 2 for about 3.5 years, and with my old job it had taken quite a beating. It had stopped working like it used to and I knew it was time to get something new. I never really thought I needed an Apple Watch, it seemed too fancy for me. But after some convincing from a couple of friends, I’m glad I did. It works so much better and has so many great features that my Fitbit never had. I love being able to see all of my notifications without having to pull out my phone every time and look at what it is. I did get a bumper case to help protect the edges just because I randomly hit my wrists on things all the time and didn’t want to risk cracking the screen. I do have to charge it more often than my Fitbit, but it usually lasts about two days and honestly it’s not a deal breaker for me. If you’re considering it, do it. I have no regrets about my purchase.

    I decided to invest a little more money to upgrade to an apple watch from a fitbit versa. I love it. The fact I can respond to texts and answer calls (and talk on the watch if needed—just gps) is a plus. The activity tracking is way more on point than fitbit. The battery life is good. Honestly no complaints this far. Ive had it for about 3 weeks now.

    I love my Apple watch. I can conveniently check my messages, respond to emails, and make calls all with the flick of the wrist. And the watch faces are customizable so you can choose what you want to see and not see on the screen. The battery life is decent as well. I usually have to charge mine after a day and a half of use. And the Nike-workout app collaboration with the Apple watch is a great workout tool. I can track my running with ease. Also, the activity app that the watch comes with is great for tracking steps, activity, heart rate, and customizable workouts.

    Finally found a 21st century watch my dad likes...

    I'll try to keep this short: My dad loathes "gadgets" and often finds that manufacturers try to do too much, ultimately failing to deliver a user-friendly device. With that said, his 18-year-old $25 wrist watch finally died and it was time for something new. He's 68 years old, but he runs and cycles regularly. So he had a few specific requirements: GPS, accurate at-a-glance heart rate monitoring while exercising, and accurate time keeping. Yes. I know. Simple. But, believe it or not, we went through two Fitbits and a Nokia Steel HR in an effort to find what he felt was best. I purchased this Apple Watch for him on Father's Day and called him last night to see how it was going. He loves it. He's getting more out of it than he imagined! Example: My dad has lost most of his hearing in one ear and the other ear isn't all that great. He loves that the Apple Watch taps him on the wrist because he no longer misses notifications that he couldn't hear from his phone (namely text messages and phone calls). He's exercised with it and it delivered precisely the information he was looking for. I think his only complaint is that he wants the watch face to be always on during workouts so that he doesn't need to lift his hand of the handlebars to see his heart rate. Other than that, he's happy...which makes me happy!

    First Smart Watch

    My wife got a watch and wanted to to get one, was originally going to get the Samsung Gear Sport (Which my wife got and loves it), but I was worried about compatibility issues with my iPhone, so I opted to get this one. Have to say it does come in very handy being able to check messages without pulling out phone or even answering calls if phone is not near by. Can respond to text messages with voice, which is really great if your busy working. I do believe the heart rate monitor could use some improvement, sometimes when you first check it out, it spikes up or down, but checking pulse manually it seems to be generally in line. While new, battery will last 3 days if you turn it off overnight. but have to charge the second night if you wear it through the night. I don't have the time but it does seem to charge very fast. It is not as good as the Samsung for monitoring sleep patterns, hopefully they will come out with an app to better measure that. Would be nice if you could further customize some of the watch faces. Many will only let you have 1 widget on them, I like to have a couple and then switch faces depending on what I'm doing. Overall it is a great watch and extension to your phone and the price is not all that bad. I'll be curious to see how quickly it becomes obsolete (slows down or battery no longer works through the day).

    Replaced my Series 2 watch because the battery was not re-charging due to its age. I have a small wrist, so that narrowed down my options for a replacement watch. I was not looking for some of the advanced features in the newer watch series and wanted something simple in a 38mm size, so I chose the Series 3. Thus far it has met all of my needs. Setup was pretty easy, although there were some features that my old watch did not have. Easy access to finding information on the setup options online. It is nice to have a watch that stays charged as I navigate through my busy day. Staff was very patient in working with me during the entire purchasing process. I traded in the old watch for store credit, which went toward purchase of the new watch. The process was seamless. Given the above, I am satisfied with the purchase and ens result.

    I had researched and shopped for fitness trackers after having two other types of trackers I’m not happy with. I don’t jog but I do walk and hike as well as swim. I didn't want an Apple Watch when I walked in but being able to handle one, put it on and check all the buttons, programs and sounds sold me. I’ve downloaded a sleep monitor which is the only app I wanted that it didn’t come with and I am very happy. I did not like the band it came with and didn’t want to pay $50 for the one I wanted. I found what I needed on Amazon and eBay for 1/3 the price.
