    Screen broke on the second day. Sales person didn't offer the warranty at time of purchase. Had to pay $250 to have watch replaced at another retailer.

    Watch is great but apps and figuring out setup and apps is a bit of a learning curve. Activity tracker just stopped working for no reason and was a pain getting it going again.

    You already know what a Series 3 is if you're looking at this lol. It's a good watch, but honestly outdated at this point.

    I traded my Fitbit Blaze for the Apple Watch. I like the activity tracking better from the Fitbit. Charging every 18 hours is a pain. Fitbit was every 4 days. Looks better than Fitbit.

    I was enjoying my Apple Watch Series 3 and after having it for only 3 days it stopped working. It powered off and when it would come on it was stuck on the Apple logo, did a hard reset over 2 dozen times, followed all the Apple support trouble shooting to no avail. It never came back on so I had to take it back. Apple also just said the series 3 won’t get the newer iosWatch updates.

    When it was new it was fast and smooth battery would last longer now after all those updates the battery doesn’t last and doesn’t feel smooth anymore.

    I had this watch for a little over a year and never had any problems with it. A few weeks ago it stopped turning on all together. Apparently the price for repairs is the same as buying a whole new watch. Don’t get the series 3, just pay extra for a newer version and BUY APPLE CARE

    Hard to setup, The standard belt is cheap looking. The battery is the most disliked feature, you have to charge it every day even if you are not wearing it.

    Not what I expected it to be. Had big expectations after being a Fitbit owner for a year and a half. Definitely regret not getting the Fitbit but now it’s too late to exchange

    New watch doesn't work correctly

    So I received this watch about a month ago brand new. Two weeks after I received it is when it started doing weird things. It powers off on it's own then powers back up as well on it own. Multiple times throughout the day I have to keep re entering my passcode to be able to use it. It takes nearly 5 minutes to power on & when it does I do not have to enter my passcode. This is my second Series 3. It is brand new but doesn't work properly.

    Great everyday watch if you are in the Apple ecosystem. When it comes to sport activity, I would recommend going to. Sport oriented watch, suchas a Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, etc.

    syncing to other devices was easy; 42" was a good size and fit for our boys - they love the freedom from holding their phones. not always great at voice texting though.

    Disappointing that you cannot get the type of band you want with the watch. Have to purchase bands separate which are too expensive. Watch itself is nice.

    Be careful with the DAytona beach Best Buy

    I purchased this watch open box. I was informed that to get the 48mm rose gold / pink band my wife wanted that the only one they had was open box. I purchased the item and drove off. The box was marked and inspected by Their so called professional's as no missing accessories and in excellent condition. Contrary to this i went home plugged in the watch to charge it and low and behold the watch was locked with a passcode from the previous owner. I called the store and asked to speak with the manager, and ov-course i got the whole " he is in a meeting, then he's out to lunch then ill take a message etc etc" I never got the courtesy of a phone call back either. About 3 hours later a gentleman from the Geek Squad called back and said he would exchange it for me. He informed me the watch was not locked on the backend of Apple. I came to the best buy again after driving over two hours back to the store from my home and a new watch (brand new) was waiting for me. I was a bit upset because they had a rose gold watch in stock 48mm that was brand new, so why is their associate telling me that they didn't earlier that morning?. Anyway after multiple calls and trips back and forth and lots of wasted gas and time this ordeal could have been resolved had their team actually inspected the apple watch when it got returned by the previous owner to make sure it was not locked and made in-usable for the next person. I think the team at Daytona Beach needs to be retrained on customer service.

    Nice looking watch with some life easy making features( I got some dents , already). But battery life is poor. Heart rate is not so accurate. Not worth that much.

    It's a good clock as it doesn't change from 1 to 7 much and loses signal a lot, but we're fine.
