    this is a great watch, and a worthy upgrade for those that have previous versions. All of the nice features of series 2 plus an altimeter and an audible Siri. Plus it's lightening fast. If you are a fan of Apple watches, this is now the version to get. I'd avoid the LTE version unless you really fancy making phone calls on your wrist. I have my phone on me all the time, so completely unnecessary!

    I use Apple everything so it only makes sense for my smart watch to be the same brand. Waited till something more water resistant came out. Apple Watch 3 happened. I bought it.

    I thoroughly enjoy using this watch for the convenience of Apple Pay and time telling. I’ve yet to explore the true potential within and am ambitious to incorporate gym/exercise routine.

    Apple clearly believes smartwatches are here to stay - the Watch 4 utterly proves that. The design alone is a big upgrade, with the screen offering far more visibility, and while the health benefits are only going to help a subset of users, they're welcome and show the direction Apple is heading. If it had better battery life, and thus able to track sleep, the Watch 4 could have been the perfect smartwatch

    Love my apple watch, I bought it mainly to keep track of my exercise, and boy does it help me do that, I use it to set goals and keep myself motivated through out the day. This allows me to not only track steps but also keep track of how many "calories" I have burned during the day.....its that extra little push I need somedays to keep on my feet

    I was never the type of person to wear watches, much less smart watches, but I was compelled by the spirit of Black Friday (and the hype of all my super fit friends) to splurge on the Apple Watch. I'm not the super active type either, but the cute activity/exercise/standing circles are super motivating for being active, and it feels great to know that even short walks to the store count as activity.

    I work in a place where I can’t be taking my phone out of my pocket. Seeing all of the texts and alerts on the watch is very convenient plus responding with voice text makes it even quicker than responding with the phone. Also love the fitness tracking. It keeps me motivated to try to beat old records. Plenty of compatability with everyday apps. Very happy with my purchase. Of course wouldn’t mind if it cost less.

    Watch is great. Battery life is same as series 2. Display is a little different but acceptable. The GPS feature is a nice touch.

    The best smart watch for Apple users...

    I have used watches from Samsung including the Gear S2 and S3. I have also used various Fitbits, a Pebble and an Amazfit Bip. The Apple Watch is by far the most polished experience with the most quality hardware, if you are an IPhone user this should be the only smart watch on your list. If you think it’s too expensive compared to other smart watches, save a bit more and go for it, it’s worth it!

    At first I wasn't sure about getting a smart watch, and now after having one I can say that I feel like I'm missing something if I'm not wearing it. The convenience of seeing my texts and notifications from my watch is like no other. I also enjoy the fact that I can put music on my watch and when I go for a run it can play music without my phone and track my run. Overall, very satisfied no regrets with my purchase.

    This has become an irreplaceable part of my fitness. The ability to run with music and not have my phone is the main reason I bought it. The Nike run app is on point every time, the ability to track steps, elevations changes, flights of stairs is awesome. That’s not even getting half the cool stuff this thing does. My wife had to have one shortly after I got mine and she replaced her Fitbit and hasn’t looked back.

    I initially wanted to get a 38mm, but settled for this one because there was none available. Glad i made that decision. The screen size is perfect, so I imagine that 38mm would be too small. The ability to see your text without stopping to pull your phone out is very convenient. Everyday I seem to find something new with the watch! The bands are customizable, so you can make it match any outfit.

    This was second series 3 Apple Watch I purchased for my family. Everyone in our family and extended family had Fitbits and started the upgrade to Apple Watch since couple years ago. After research and asking friends with latest Apple Watches, series 3 made more sense to what it actually does for the price. Even better on discounts, which is when I purchased. For the younger adult with demand for latest tech, it might not be enough. Messaging and answer calls are a breeze. Major con I can think of is battery life is pretty much 1 day and needs to be charged if you want to use it the next day. Also, setting it up with newest updates can take hours.
