    I bought this for my wife. She had gone through a generic step counter and then a Fitbit (that bit the dust). The Apple Watch has held up great, plus because it is paired to her phone she actually answers the phone when I call.

    Excelent Apple product, easy to set up and use. I really like how it fit to my wrist. It help me to be more productive in my day, because of the Activity app. Also its very good when I workout.

    Love my upgrade from a 1st gen. I can wear it longer. the battery life is so much better. I think competing with your friends in workouts by far is my favorite feature. Love the watch. Great price.

    This is as much a review of the Apple Care+ as it is of the Apple Watch series 3 itself. I am reviewing the watch again because my first Apple Watch (also a series 3) was rendered useless when a software update glitch prevented it from loading past the welcome screen, and then, from powering on at all. After "cashing in" on the Apple Care+ I had purchased with the watch in May of 2019, I received a brand new Apple Watch series 3, free of charge, and sans software update glitches. Now to the watch itself. My biggest - and so far, only - beef is a cosmetic/App Store one: the absolute LACK of selection in terms of Faces. Apple is extremely restrictive, as in it doesn't allow 3rd-party developers to design and distribute different faces for Apple Watch. My first smartwatch was an LG G Watch for $99, and while, compared to the AW, it was a bit like having a Sticky Note pad clasped to your wrist, it DID have variety with its faces within the store. Were all of them worthy of distribution, or the price charged? NO. Of course not. But the point was *selection*. While I have found one face and its associated complications that I *do* like with the AW3, I am extremely annoyed at the lack of personalization offered when it comes to something you look at dozens of times a day. And thanks, but you can keep your Toy Story characters, I'm not nine years old anymore.

    I purchased this watch for my son as a gift. He uses Bluetooth to receive notifications & use some apps. It's especially useful at work when he needs to respond to a text & doesn't have to take out his phone.

    Needed a replacement while my "Old School" mechanical watch was being repaired. Figured i could always use as a fitness tracker afterwards. After using it for about a month, I think it will just remain my main watch.

    I owned an Apple Watch series 0 and after years of great reliability it was time to upgrade. I ended up going with the series 3 for the moment and it was the right move. The watch is awesome and for the price!

    Hello Dick Tracey!

    This is an older generation of the Apple Watch, but nearly half the price. Missing some of the features of the newest series, but has all the basics. The thing I like the best is the ability to see who is calling and even answer without pulling my phone out of my pocket (or purse for the ladies). A lot of bang for the buck. No cellular though. If that is important look at the series 5-6 or se model.

    I bought this after having the Fitbit Versa for about a year. This is just a better product in almost every respect. I get about 2 days of battery life on it, which is only okay, but the functionality makes up for it.

    Apple Watch is a great addition to my personal technology. Useful for tracking fitness, messages, locations, etc... Connecting to iPhone 8 was simple. Fits well and does not roll on wrist. Best Buy in store pickup made this transaction smooth.

    I am very satisfied with this Apple Watch. It has too many features to list. Best Buy had this watch on sale. I know the newer Apple Watch has more to offer but this Series 3 does what I need it to do.

    A fair price for a quality watch. It seems to get knocked by a lot of Apple lovers, but it is an honest and well-built machine, even if it doesn't do a trillion things, only a billion!

    The screen was always bright enough, even on then lowest brightness. I went swimming with it, that was really cool, especially how it calculated all of the stats. Everything ran smoothly, phone calls sounded great and they could hear me back.
