    The wife and I bought our first Apple Watches a few weeks ago and love usability and integration to iPhone. We opted for the 3 vs 5 mostly off of price. Yes the newer version has some better hardware, but the functionality is essentially the same. If you are an Apple user, there is no reason to buy a 3rd Party smartwatch.

    I finally broke down and purchased an Apple Watch and I do find it to be pretty useful to my daily life. The fitness tracking is nice and getting messages and calls without having to run to find my phone is great.

    My wife and I previously had the new Fitbit Inspire HR. We always stuck with Fitbits for the past couple years until I decided to purchase an Apple Watch and I now I am forced to wonder why I didn't make the jump sooner! After using for about a week I am beyond happy with all the features and workout tracking. My wife ended up buying one the very next day!

    I cannot live without my Apple Watch so to motivate my husband to get in better health, I got him his own. Guess what? He LOVES it too! He likes being able to view his movements for the day and how he can quickly look at texts and phone calls to determine if he wants to text/call back. If you’re on the fence about getting one, do it!

    My wife got this for me for Christmas, as my Fitbit screen was cracked and the band broke......again. The setup only took a few minutes and connecting to my iPhone was easy. After only a few days of use I just love this watch. Way more functionality and the feature I love the most is simple text responses, including voice responses.

    I upgraded from a series 1 to this series’s 3 Apple Watch. It was worth it. There is no lag time when using apps (had definite issues using fitness app with series 1). The screen is great even with glaring sun light. Being waterproof is a huge plus for people who swim to exercise and just enjoy water sports. The list goes on about all the great features of this watch.

    It took me a long time to warm up to the Apple Watch. I had a series 1 and the original software was slow and clunky. Apple in my opinion has greatly improved the speed and functionality of the sw. I picked this up on sale with the intention to listen to podcasts, audiobooks and music while walking. I have really enjoyed the activity tracker options and motivation reminders. Battery life is so much batter compared to series 1. I do wish apps could be more powerful. I occasionally have issues syncing audiobooks from audible and podcasts. Overall, I am pleased with this watch. If you're into walking or running, a pair of Apple's wireless AirPods work extremely well with this.

    Was hesitant abt making this purchase at first because I wasn’t sure if it’ll live up to the hype. With further research and comparison to many wearable tech on the market, I settled for the Apple Watch series 3. I must admit that it’s much more than Jst a watch. It’s not too complex and it’s user friendly. I highly recommend it.

    I had the original Apple Watch and really enjoyed it. I read an article stating the Series 3 improved speed, battery life, and Siri significantly over previous versions. After buying it, I will say I can charge it overnight and have never run out of battery life after quite a few months. The speed is greatly improved as well. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

    I bought this one as an upgrade to my original Apple Watch, and I'm glad I did! This one's easier to see in sunlight and runs faster than my older watch.

    I've wanted this for a long time. My favorite feature is having my texts and phone calls come in on my wrist - even when my phone is in the other room.

    This my second Apple watch and I am very satisfied with it. I passed my first one to a family member and it was still working great after 3 years. I use my Apple watch for daily workouts, calendar reminders and responding to messages and phone calls. Does everything you'd expect from Apple.

    What’s to say? Just like all of my other apple devices that I love! I like to leave my phone in my office and get things done without missing emails, texts and phone calls. All your important info on your wrist, plus an amazing fitness & sleep tracker. Also as a golfer it’s a great course gps (app sold separately). This is what a smart watch was meant to be.
