Customer Ratings & Reviews

This watch is not exactly what I was looking for but it allows me to keep in contact with my kids while at work via text. I was looking forward to leaving my cell phone in my car while I utilize my watch. However, this watch can only be used with my cellphone handy unlike the watch you get from cellular companies. Also, it doesn’t have a camera.

The reason I am giving this 3 star is mainly because of battery life and the fact that most of the applications you have to purchase after a short time. Other then that I love it just wish I didn’t have to have it on the charger so much.

Small screen and the sensor easily not reads because of sweat or hair tie

Poor battery; need to charge your battery each day

New to Apple and I find it very confusing to use and the activity tracker is not very good.

I wouldn’t personally recommend buying this watch because I have only used it for almost a year and it the screen broke with a screen protector after dropping it 4 and half feet to the concrete. It’s not worth it!

This model removes alot of the features of an apple watch. This one is only really good for the status that comes with a smart watch. The screen is small on this model and comes with a couple features like health and fitness. It is hard to navigate using this watch and the phone app likes to scare you when you open it with a brief flash of a phone call in progress long after you know you hung up which then disappears. It is also slow compared to the iPhone in processing speed meaning it will result in some waiting to do things. If you want the status and looks of owning an apple watch then this may be for you but if you want the features and everything else look for a more expensive model.

Great for notifications and fitness. Laggy otherwise Horrible battery maybe 15hours max. My 2019 Samsung watch has a 3 day battery life

We love Apple products and many members of my family have one. Which is why for our daughter's 16th bday, we decided to purchase a brand new Apple Watch from Best Buy. Of course I bought the watch a week before her bday so I would have it ready to go. Gave it to her and then she went off on a week-long church trip a few days later. She had mentioned before she left that it didn't seem to be holding charge. I told her to give it a few more overnight charges. When she returned she said the watch wasn't holding charge for even a day for sure. My own watch, same series and a number of years old (and it was bought used) holds a charge for at least two days and I'm sure I use mine more than she uses hers. Anyway, i went to return/exchange the watch and it's past the return date by a few days. Best Buy won't budge (I understand no return for money back but why not an exhange for the same thing). Of course I should have thought of the fact that maybe it wasn't a 30 day return policy. And that I had bought it a week prior to her bday. But I'll admit I just really didn't think there would be a problem - my mistake but wishing I had just bought from Apple directly. I just asked my husband to remind me not to buy from Best Buy again, we have had some bad luck the past few purchases.

It’s ok, but you’re not getting much out of it besides the Apple name and the sleek design

the watch is very Versitle with and assortment of great Features useful to any age group

It's just ok. I had been wanting an Apple Watch (AW) for a while and finally decided to get one with the price drop. And even now I don't think it' worth it. I had a FitBit and a Pebble before and really liked them. AW isn't as easy to use as the FitBit or Pebble. Starting a workout on AW isn't easy or quick, and if you don't start before its too late! My FitBit friends are all still on there and its super lonely on the AW, which takes away he competition for me and I just don't care about closing rings alone. Pebble's buttons made it easy to control without looking. I really only use the scroll button on AW and nearly everything else is touch. AW doesn't track sleep because it needs charged every night. I don't really use speech to text or like to scribble text letter by letter. The majority of apps are not removable and just clutter the ridiculous app jumble page. Raise to wake works only if you fully and wildly flip your wrist up, no subtle movements for that feature. Positives are controlling music on your iPhone is easy (usually) and managing alarms is convenient. But music controls is where I really miss my Pebble. AW is great when using Maps for directions when I can get my wrist at the correct angle. HR is nice but I never really need to know that. Overall I just thought it would be better for the price and coming from Apple. If I could get Rebble to work for me and my FitBit wasn't dead I wouldn't use this thing.

Received the watch yesterday and love it, but noticed the band has some black spots on it. Tried to get them off, but one of the spots feels like a scratch.

I started out with a Fitbit and then decided to get an Apple Watch after I fell and broke my fit bit. I must say, I’m quite disappointed in the basic usability this watch has without downloading apps.... and the free apps aren’t numerous or hardly worthy to keep after basic app use limitations. Fitbit would give you detailed break down of your sleep cycles each night worn. I have yet to find an app that resembles that in the slightest degree, and I miss seeing my detailed REM, light and deep sleep cycles... for free! Apple needs to step it up because this shell is hardly worth the cost without sleep tracking being AT LEAST a basic function or included, free and full access app. Wishing I had stuck with Fitbit for sleep tracking purposes. Faces on the Apple Watch are fun to customize and change. Battery life is about one and a half days, if lucky.

I basically used this item to replace my fitness tracker and to say the least I’m not impressed. The battery life wont make it a full 24 hrs with out needing charged so makes using it for sleep monitoring next to impossible. The heart rate lags and only checks it every 3 min or so and then you have to click on it to check it. If your into wanting an addition to your phone for the apps you use then it’s great but that’s the only use I’ve been happy with.

If you’re doing high intensity interval training, the bpm wouldnt be as accuarate as the chest monitor and the watch will tell you that. For notifications, it won’t let you read notifications from 3rd party apps like snapchat. It will only let you read messages and emails. Just like the iphone, siri can’t play music from a 3rd party app like spotify so you have to subscribe to apple music. The watch connects via bluetooth and wifi so you could connect both your airpods and watch to your phone at the same time. The apple wallet is pretty convenient to cause you dont have to pull out your wallet or your card anymore but it can’t show you gym barcodes. It will only tell you when you joined that gym. Overall the watch isn’t that great but i like how i could read messages off of my watch, connect the airpods and watch at the same time to the phone, and how it beeps when you’re using the notifies you when you’re using the gps.

Watch has lots a great benefits to track one’s health.

Bought as a gift for my girlfriend. Perhaps I should have bought a newer product as it has given her some technical difficulties.

It wasn’t what I expected at all, I needed the watch because I wanted to be able to do things on my phone without touching my phone. Well the problem that I had is that I would be playing music or listening to a podcast on Pandora through the watch and then for some unknown reason, the audio would stop working on my watch and start up on my phone, while still saying the music is playing on my watch. Then I couldn’t change the ringtone on the watch. Some good things about the watch is that it’s really cute and I like the fact that you can change the bands.

Needed a causal watch for daily texts and emails and contacts. Great fit and design I can't complain on any of that . Unfortunately the watch does not work if you have tattoos especially near or on the wrist. Sensors can not detect that watch is on due to the ink. Loved it but it would consistently lock on my wrist and it wasn't ever going to function correctly. So if you have tattoos I would definitely try before you buy.
