    I do like my Apple Watch but it doesn’t give as much options to play with as the Samsung does. I hope more apps come compatible with this item soon.

    It’s okay, I like the different features it has. I love the different faces and exercise apps. It reminds me to walk and exercise.

    Good watch, at one point the update you need to do will be bigger than the watch capacity and then that’s that

    Purchased the series 3, should’ve purchased the series 1 so at least I would have saved some money. The only thing I like is being able to answer the phone from my watch. I am having a difficult time finding history of activities and I’m unable to do functions from the iphone which I thought I would be able to do as well. Since I have a Macbook, 2 iPads and an iPhone I thought I would be as happy as I am with them but I should’ve stuck with my fit bit

    My dad really wanted to try the Apple Watch, keeps you connected to your notifications and all, but there’s not much else to do on it

    Love the watch, not the experience with Best Buy

    When the watch was purchased a date was given that would be ready for pick up. It wasn't. I was then giving another date, still wasn't available, after the third time it was finally ready. I would have been completely satisfied if the date (which was 3 1/2 weeks out) was just told first but, that I was told over and over with no explanation, not appreciated. I would recommend the watch but not Best Buy.

    Decent watch for the money. Battery doesn’t last as long as other smart watches I’ve owned.

    I bought this Apple watch as a Christmas gift for a family member and after he opened it and tried to set it up we learned that it wouldn't pair with his older model of the iPhone. By the time I got it back and tried to return it Best Buy would not return it beyond their 14 day return policy. Very frustrating customer experience with Best Buy, and I can't believe an iWatch wouldn't pair with all iPhones.

    Do not buy it. I went cheap because the tech said that Apple will always service the watch for the entry level watch users. After 10 days the watch needed an update but it wouldn’t because it said there wasn’t enough free space. Found out there had to be a minimum for 3GB space for the update (the watch only has 3.2 GB of space. Luckily Best Buy does a take back with in 14 days (day 13 I figured it out). Needless to say, got the 6 for my wife and it is awesome! Her and I both love the Apple watches. Spend the extra and get a watch that will last for years to come!

    Very dissatisfied and disappointed

    It won’t hold a charge for more than a day, so has to be removed with down time a lot more than I like. Also, right away I had notifications telling me what I had done a week ago, a month ago and a year ago...when I’d only been wearing it a couple days. Was it refurbished?? In addition, every time you start a walk, run, or workout you have to start it manually on the watch. If you forget it will start recording it after 5-7 minutes go by, but your distance is never accurate at that point. One of my children told me to return it, which I’d never thought of. I went online and found I missed the return date by one day. I took it off and haven’t worn it since, For me, this was a very poor purchase.

    Not easy for non tech people but once you get enough advice it’s OK. Great for finding your always misplaced iPhone.

    I bought this as an upgrade when my series 2 stopped working with my phone suddenly. I can’t really tell the difference.
