    Essentially, I just use it for notifications. When I'm at working or on the road or somewhere I can't take my phone out, I'll just look at the watch. It's also kinda cool I can play games on a watch. There are a lot of uses for the watch, most I don't really take advantage of but someone else might.

    You can get all of your notifications on this watch. I know if somebody is at my front door because ring alerts me. I know if my home alarm is going off because it notifies me on my watch. It also tracks all of my fitness. It even knows when I’m on my elliptical. Fantastic watch with all sorts of things it does.

    I absolutely love this watch. Wasn’t sure about charging a watch everyday to wear it. Fast charging? It makes it where I take a shower, get ready in the morning, and throw it on when I’m on my way out the door almost a complete charge. The “pinging” option to find your phone makes this an easy decision it’s self.

    I have been using a Fitbit for years, and purchased the Versa last fall. I was leery of getting an Apple Watch because I didn’t want to charge it daily. In reality, the charge lasts about 3 days, and it really outperforms Fitbit products. There is also better synergy in the Apple ecosystem. I’m well pleased with this purchase.

    I was very against getting another tech device and did a bit of research and decided to take the plunge on a Apple 3. Glad I did I’m really enjoying the fitness apps and recently downloaded the Surfline app to track my surfing and I was very pleased with the results. Well designed and easy to operate.

    Love my Apple Watch. Like a mini computer on my arm. Works well. I only wish Apple will come up with a software upgrade that allows your iMessages to sync with your iPhone as with iCloud. And it’s pricey as almost all Apple products. Didn’t really feel a smart watch should cost so much.

    Clear, bright display with easy to use features. It really is waterproof! This Apple Watch is worn while doing heavy duty outside work on the river, in the river, tree clearing, weed trimming, gardening, etc. It has held up well! Would definitely suggest getting the bumper if using it for work described above. It’s a lifesaver!

    I upgraded from the S0 and I love this updated version. It's a lot faster than the original and the heart rate monitor is a lot more accurate.

    I held on to my series 2 for quite a while. I don’t need all the extra features from the newer models. I wanted to upgrade and gift my old watch, and the price was great so I made the purchase. If you want a solid, reliable watch, you can’t do better than this for the price

    Expensive if you just need a watch

    I I se it everyday. Mainly bought it to track steps for Pokémon GO because I’M AN ADULT! I need to hatch eggs. But I use it as my alarm and to tell time with. Other than that I don’t use any of the other apps because I don’t exercise. Except for when I get off the couch. I do maybe 7-12 sit-ups for momentum so I can go to the fridge. So it’s expensive if you just need a watch, but could be useful for the fitter folks. Battery is still working great and aside from a few scratches on the face the display is operating like it did on day one.

    Great product as all Apple products are great products in my eyes. Excuse me if I am biased but you really can’t go wrong. You never hear anyone say they don’t like Apple products for software or user interface issues. This watch works seamlessly and I love the full waterproof feature.

    At first my hesitation of buying an Apple Watch came over me while I was literally in the store deciding whether or not I needed it. Let me tell you, now I feel naked without it! It has become a part of my every day life whether it’s fitness tracking, golf range finder, or my map for a walk around...it’s strapped to my wrist!

    The good Cellular connection works well for phone calls, email, Siri and messages. Music now syncs more easily. Improvements in fitness tracking and added watch faces. Adds barometer to GPS and swimproofing. Same overall size as last year’s watch. The bad Battery life takes a major hit when making calls or during GPS workouts.

    It took me years to finally break down and buy one of the Apple watches. I don't regret it at all. I don't normally wear a watch but with all of the features that this watch has I just love wearing it. I hardly even have to look at my phone anymore. So far the battery life has been great also, around 3 days on a charge shutting it off at night.

    I felt it was finally time to retire my Series 1 Apple Watch, but didn't want to spend for the Series 4. Found this one as open box at the Chico Best Buy, and could not beat the price. Yes the box was open, but nothing inside had ever been disturbed, hence it was brand new. Took it home, paired it with my iPhone 8+ and have had no problems.

    I’ve loved my Apple Watch! I’ve lost about 30 lbs since I got it and it Encourages me to get off my butt. It gives you goals that you can modify and i Try to reach them everyday. I love that I get notifications on my watch because I leave my phone at my desk a lot and its nice to know when I need to get back to it! High quality.
