    This is a great smart watch. I take it everywhere I go. I used to use a Fitbit ionic. But once I got an iPhone I needed an upgrade. Love that you can reply to messages. And even get MLB updates. Very useful to get micro updates when I’m in class or work.

    Excellent watch and better price. I like to use it for sports, walking, running, etc. Also very helpful for tracking health habits. I loved the sports band and the color. I wasn’t sure about the size, but it was perfect.

    For starters I bought this item in stores and the customer service was great they answered every question I had. The watch itself I fell in love with! It’s so useful at work to just be able to communicate with everyone quickly and not look like I’m ignoring customers.

    I like the available features in this watch. That said, within 2 weeks the face had a hairline crack which rendered the section below the crack useless regarding interface. I never abuse my property, I simply used it as a typical watch. Furthermore, for the past 1 and a half years I owned a cheap $70 Chinese knock-off with slightly less features which held up to abuse at times over a long period of time.

    This has been a solid upgrade from my series 0. It's nice having a notification center on my wrist and not having to pull my phone out all the time. It's a great fitness motivator. It's very convenient being able to ask Siri for directions right from my wrist.

    I used to have the series 1 in gray and I am glad I got the series 4 in black! Its much faster and I love how the color looks. The only downfall is that it can look bulky on thin wrists but my favorite thing is that its good with resisting water.

    This was a gift for my husband who has health issues pertaining to his heart. He can get his pulse within seconds. It's great for notifications of a phone call, text or email. I bought it at Best Buy because at Christmastime no one else had it! Thank you!

    Love it. I know there’s a five, six, or seven, or whatever version they have out now... but I’ve never had one of those. So, this is the best allow watch I’ve ever owned, and it serves its purpose and more just fine.

    I love this watch. So convenient for notifications at work. It tracks my sleep, heart rate and I’m also a part of a heart study. And yes you can buy a band that performs a legit ECG. This would cost thousands at the rackets called hospitals. Truly revolutionary device.

    I bought it at $229. I think the price match the quality. But not worthy if the price was like $400 when it first came out.

    I wasn't sure at first if I really needed this or if it was just a "shiny toy" but it's been very helpful! Siri responds well when it's on my wrist and the notifications are great to see without having to use my phone. Well worth the investment.

    After One month, I love it. I upgraded from a Fit bit and find way more comfortable to wear. I just wish is was a little cheaper.

    Bought this as a gift for my moms birthday and I was able to get it on a sale. Apple watches make great gifts considering this is the second one I get her. Product works well and feels high quality as expected of Apple.

    Love my watch, even though it was a little difficult to figure out since it did not come with any instructions but I am learning day by day. Been an apple user for a long time but finally took the leap to move from a Fitbit to Apple watch and I'm very happy so far.

    I liked the watch but it is very fragile. It has many features I like such as timer, alarm, health monitor, and wallet.

    I've been enjoying it, despite getting it a few years after it got released. However, note that updates do suck due to a lack of onboard storage, and a factory reset will be required for every update which is a PITA.

    Well worth the money. I don’t think I would be able to afford this model when it first came out. For the frugal customer, choose this watch paired with an iPhone and you’re all set. Mine is paired with the iPhone XR.

    After several years I accidently broke the face - did not have time to look into repair as I was headed to airport. Stopped by local Best Buy and picked up a new one and had it programed in no time!

    Replaced my former Apple watch which went swimming and drowned. I should have taught it how to swim. I like this watch. It would be perfect if it could swim in water. I liked it enough that I ordered it again, even if this one also cannot learn to swim.
