    Bought this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She has not had any issues wearing it in the shower. She can talk on it if her phone is out of reach. She loves using it as a pedometer and tracking her fitness goals. One of the best gifts I ever gave her.

    I got this from my wife for my birthday recently. At the time, I didn't think it'd be of much use to me, as I'm not a watch-wearer. Since it was a gift, and not cheap, I decided to give it a try, hoping I would not break it while working. I've smacked the sides and face of the watch numerous times so far, on accident of course, and there is not a scratch on it yet...I can't say the same for my arms and hands though. I like being able to look down and see the time, text messages, temperature, MLB updates, current song playing, etc without pulling out my phone to check. My hands get pretty dirty while I'm working, so it keeps my phone a little cleaner too. Another feature I really enjoy is the health aspects of the watch and included apps. It's nice knowing that my hard work throughout the day is evident on the health app, where it shows my steps, miles, flights of stairs climbed, etc....all in one place. Even if you are not a watch-wearer like me, I think you'll find that you may enjoy wearing this one!

    Apple Watch Series 3

    Excellent watch. I bought it to replace a cheap heart rate monitor when it's battery died. Based on the Apple products I own, the battery will last more than 3 years. The heart rate monitor, used primarily during exercise, is excellent taking pulse readings continually. The exercise program is great allowing me to track outdoor and indoor walking, steps walked, time standing, and other information. The only slight "bug" is that it can be a bit tricky to have it update software. But other than that it is worth the investment. Competing smart watch are priced about the same. Battery life is similar to that of other Apple products. I did replace the sports band with a leather band which is easier and faster to put on.

    This is my first smart watch. I got this mainly for health features...track workouts, heart monitoring, calories burned, etc. and it works great! I really like that I can get notifications on it when I’m away from my phone and control my music from it. I’m sure there are many other features I could be using but haven’t had the need. I was debating on getting the Apple series 5 when choosing. I’m glad I got the series 3. The 5 would have been unnecessary and I would have probably regretted paying so much for it.

    This is a great watch for anyone. Easy to use and awesome for anyone that's active. With the ability to track you daily active calories it helps you if you're trying to lose weight. It's very easy to operate and the on screen notifications are great for anyone who can't always be on their phone.

    Got this for my wife. She loves it. The battery life is so much better than my original Apple Watch. She also likes the notifications. She has already bought two more bands for it. I do wish the Apple watch had a quicker setup and it would do a better job of explaining how some of the features work.

    My wife has one and insisted it was something I needed too. I was skeptical. I have my phone, why do I need a watch. The convenience the watch offers is phenomenal. Quick glance notifications and responses, apps to make your day more productive and keep you on schedule. She was right, it’s a must have.

    I bought the Apple Watch 3 for my wife and I. We love the watches because of their looks and their functionality. I love how simple it is to use and how I can track my daily exercises and runs. I also love that I get notifications on my watch from my apps from my phone. I’m happy with my purchase

    I use my apple watch at school and my administration sends a lot of emails during the course of the day. I get them all and can see them immediately without whipping out my phone. I wish the battery life was better but I can usually run two days without charging. I like that I can see text messages as they come. I am not into the fitness aspect of the watch but I could see how a person could use that. I was disappointed with the watch band choice as I am a fat body and needed a larger band than was included in the case but I found one online for 20 bucks and Best Buy honored the price. I like that you can dictate to it to create text messages. When I purchased it, it was on sale for 199.00. Knowing Apple it probably won't be supported in a couple of years or the better watch will come out that blows this one away but it is the watch I needed and am happy for the price.

    I really enjoy my AppleWatch. It syncs up beautifully with my iPhone. The workout feature is the best one in my opinion. I just wished that the speaker worked with my music as well. It's completely waterproof. The quality of voice calls on the watch itself are great.
