    Bought as gift for a non-tech family member. Easy to set up (only works with iOS w/ latest update). Useful for workouts, messages and answering phone.

    I have had my watch about two years, I love it, easy to use, links to my phone easily and alerts are real-time. I bought one for my mom just now. It’s an older model but still works well this price is now a bargain. Hoping that they will continue to work for a while as older tech starts to become incompatible with upgrades.

    Purchased for an older family member that wouldn’t be utilizing all of the power of the newer models. Great companion device to an iPhone and at this price point I would say it’s a good option for kids but this model is not compatible with apples new kids mode for watches. Good entry watch. If you find yourself liking it you can eventually trade up.

    This watch has been a great value and a great companion in owning an iPhone. Before owning an iPhone I had an android phone and had a Samsung watch but when I switched the compatibility between my old watch and iPhone wasn’t as great as I wanted it to be so once I traded in my old watch for the new Apple Watch it was a great experience my Watch contacts call and sometimes even read emails this is a great place for any iPhone is you’re looking to have another device. It’s especially great if you have the cellular option so you can leave your iPhone at home and not have to worry about calls or texts

    We bought it for my wife as she has an iPhone 8plus. I looked for a smart watch for my Samsung S8. I decided not to get one for myself because the I watch is so much better

    I tried different kinds of smart watches, but they didn’t work as well with Apple products. The Apple Watch does everything that I wanted it too.

    This is my 3rd Apple Watch I’ve purchased and this one was a present for a person who has never had one and they loved it. It was easy to use, make sure you have an iPhone or the person you give this to has an iPhone since that is the only way to use it

    Great Watch, but, like myself, my phone is too old to handle it, and I can’t afford a new phone just to wear an Apple Watch, so it went back and I have a conventional watch again! Absolutely loved my old Apple Watch, but the face peeled off and was never able to replace it until I found out that the only series available now is not compatable with my phone ! :-(

    Best watch I've ever owned. It's light weight and I barely know I have it on. The only issue I have is that there is no compatibility with phones other than Apple. Since I switched from my iPhone back to Android the watch is only a basic watch

    Love the watch! My only complaint was that I had to upgrade my iPhone for compatibility which wasn’t explained when purchased. This should be explained in description. It has proven to be an asset.

    Daughter loves the watch, makes a great present

    Made an excellent present for my daughter, has helped her stay active and loves being able to close all of the rings on the health meters of the watch. I don't like that its only compatible with Apple devices, but that's generally what you get when you get an Apple branded device. The watch is made well, though there are better made watches out there for my purpose for my daughter and maybe others that don't work in a rough environment or need Android compatibility this watch may work well for them.

    I Bought the watch as a gift for my wife and she loves it. Nothing but good things to say about it. Only downside is that you need an iPhone to use it and it has to be in close proximity to use all of it’s functionality.

    Apple Watch over the Fitbit Versa

    We just got the watch but already it's much easier for my wife to use the the Fitbit Versa I just bought her. We brought the Versda back to the store because we were not getting notifications. Possibly a compatibility issue with her IPHONE 6+ . but no one could confirm or deny that thought process. Tony at the store ran it through it's paces and offered us a open box deal on the APPLE WATCH S3. so far my wife LOVES it.. great job Tony

    After buying a Versa watch I found it wasn’t compatible with my apple phone, so I took it back and paid a little more for this watch. I am so happy I did, I love it

    It's not the latest and greatest but not everyone wants the latest and greatest. It was a gift and it works excellent. If you have an older iPhone, it may not pair with it. So just be aware of that before purchasing even the Apple Watch Series 3
