    I switched back to Apple products after 5 years or so on the Galaxy lineup. I can't say I've been overly impressed with the phone itself, but the accessory lineup has been a vast improvement over the Galaxy watch. The iWatch battery lasts a reasonable amount of time, considering all the apps that are attached to it (I tend to get 36-48 hours at a time, but generally just charge it each night while I'm asleep)

    Purchase on sale a month ago. Works great with my iPhone X and also my wireless Bose headphones. Tracks heart rate nice. Gives encourages to hit daily fitness goals. Text, email and alerts go to watch, very nicely, and can be turned on and off in settings. I like the different face options that come stock with it. The only negative so far is my watch collection is feeling neglected. As with ALL Apple products, the price is high, but quality and reliability are exactly what you expect from their products.

    I bought it over two years ago and I have never had a problem with it to date. My wife loves it and as a nurse at primary children’s hospital uses it all the time even when she forgets her phone at the nurses station she is still able to be in contact with us at home. The only problem is she forgets to charge it because the battery lasts so long so she’ll forget it at home for 2 or 3 days on the charging station even though it doesn’t take that long. An overnight charge is more than enough and she loves it.

    I had the original Apple Watch which at the time felt pretty fast keeping in mind it was a first gen product, then the series 2 and later the series 3 came along. It's definitely faster, everything feels smoother. The screen looks better as well.

    Overall, easy-to-use and premium quality device that delivers the simplicity of a wristwatch and so much more. Great if you are in a situation where you can’t look at your phone and need to respond to emails or text messages. Great job from Apple.

    I already purchased a series 3 watch but purchased another for my mom who loves it. She wears everyday and loves the Mickey Mouse watch face. She uses it the track her fitness and has encouraged her to take more walks throughout the day to close her rings. The only downside I can think of is battery life for heavy use. I use texting features or Apple wallet from my watch so it can last a little over a day with heavy use. But with light use, you can get 2-3 days forsure.

    My wife has several Apple devices, but no Apple Watch, so I bought her one for Christmas. Although she hasn't opened it yet, I know that she'll love it because our daughter raves about hers. I can't wait to see her open it up Christmas morning.

    Bought this for my wife when it was on sale for 229.00. At that price, this is a great item. Given that the Apple Watch 4 is out and about 150.00 more, I think at the price I bought it for it more that delivers on its value. The most shocking (in a good way) item related to this watch is the battery life is way better than expected. My wife it getting 1.5 - 2 days use on her watch between charges. The watch also changes very fast, so it’s not like she’s without it for long. It was a great purchase!

    My son bought this watch to upgrade from a Series 1. Of course, by now you are looking at Series 4 and wondering if you should save money on the 3 or go for the latest. I can’t answer the question as to why you want the Series 4 and if you should spend the extra money. What I can tell you is that the Series 3 runs like a champ on Watch OS 5 and is still a very relevant product. Look very carefully at what additional items the Series 4 has and unless you must have those options, you’ll do just fine with the 3 and save some cash.

    I’ve been using three Apple Watch for several weeks now and never thought I would enjoy using one of these things. The design is simple yet functional and very stylish. The best part is the notifications. I can check messages, emails, and app notifications without having to pull out my phone or miss an important message because I didn’t hear my phone. The activity app has also been motivational as it tracks movement and exercise and keeps you on track with meeting goals you can set in the app. I also find I don’t have to have my phone tethered to the hip when around the house. I can lay it down anywhere in my house and answer calls and texts without having to stop what I’m doing to go get my phone. Finally the watch is stylish enough to look good with a suit or formal dress without looking too “techy”. I switch between a sport band when I’m going out and the sport loop when I’m at work or home. The sport loop allows me to take it off and store in my pocket easily, which I do often at work where watches aren’t allowed. My only gripe is the ludicrous cost associated with apple brand bands. All in all, if your into apple products, they gave the watch the proper treatment and it would be hard to convince me someone has done a better job.
