    I purchased an open box watch which I thought I would never do but so far, I haven't had any problems with the open box and even though it wasn't a huge savings, it was enough to cause me to get the 3 series instead of the 2. I bought this watch to replace a broken fitbit and I am so glad I did because it so perfectly pairs with my mac air, iphone 7 and ipad I own. I was surprised by friends that say they don't use many of the features on the watch because I am 60 (supposedly older people don't understand tech stuff) and I use so many features on this watch. I recommend you go online, download the instruction manual (over 300 pages) use the table of contents to skim what you don't think you'll need and read the parts you might use. In addition to all of the sport tracking features I love the little things, I can ping my phone (which I am always losing), it automatically opens my mac air, I can silent my phone without taking it out of my purse, I can see who is calling me and send a short response without taking my phone out of my purse, I can set up my clock face to my specifications so that I can see the time without my reading glasses or know what time it is in Dublin where my son lives. I can quickly make it waterproof before I wash dishes or bath the dog and if I want I can wear it when I swim laps at the YMCA but I haven't tried that yet. I guess you can tell I love this watch.

    I’m the one that always opted out to getting the Apple Watch. I thought it was pointless until now. I love this watch. It’s so convenient, simple to setup, and easy to use. It beats always having to pick up your iPhone to respond to messages. It’s the best! Oh yeah, don’t be silly like me by making a second trip to Best Buy asking for a larger band because it comes in the box. Lol. The watch comes with the smaller band already on it and the large band is in the box. Also, I went with the 38mm because the 42mm was too big for my wrist. The 38mm is a perfect fit. I’m still exploring the watch and loving it!

    I love this watch. I switched from a Fitbit to a Samsung active watch (to go with my Google Pixel) and was so disappointed had to get two of them and neither of them worked appropriately and he battery life was awful and died within a days use. This watch on the other hand, is sleek, fully functional with my iPhone, and has amazing fitness tracking. I hardly take it off if I can avoid it!

    Bought for my wife's birthday. She love's having a smart watch but is highly allergic to the nickel in the watches. This was our 3rd and final try. I ordered the Series 3 with the bumper. ZERO reaction to the watch and she absolutely loves the functionality! Integrates with all of her apple gear perfectly.

    Had to get a replacement for my broken 5 series. Honestly for the price I should have gotten a 3 to begin with. It does EVERYTHING it needs to. Def buy a case though. I also bought an aftermarket band to fit my style. Very easy to switch out!

    This is my first Apple Watch series 3. I’m so impressed by how easy it is to manage. I love all the features. Wish it had more of the Disney characters. I would recommend. Can’t wait to upgrade to latest version.

    Ever since I got the Apple Watch, it has been helping so much for losing weight and how I should workout better not but also sometimes for people are lazy to grab the phone and just answer it through the Apple Watch :) I never had any problems with it I love it! Also it helps me with my health last time I was just laying and my heart rate went up and quickly notify me and that will help a lot for people with any medical problems!

    I am loving the Apple Watch. Never thought I would need a watch because I always have my iPhone with me, but this watch does so much more than just tell time. I’ve only had my watch about a month and it seems like I am learning something new about it every day. I love the choices for My Faces, the movement of the Faces, and how it motivates me to move, breath, and take better care of myself.

    Getting curbside pickup was the fastest thing I ever experienced. Literally ordered it online & less than 4 hours later, went to the store and someone brought it out to me in 2 minutes and I showed my I.D. The watch is great and I never take it off unless showering of course. Also got it on sale with great pride from only Best Buy.
