    Thought I was getting a watch, but then it started sending me updates from WSJ and texts. Not sure what else this thing does, but I like it

    Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 3 in September 2017. Third time's the charm. At discounted prices to the Series 4, good value for the features. Pros: 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.

    My brother got this for my 21st birthday and I'm loving it. It's so convenience! Text messages, phone calls, map, activity track down, photos, and basically everything on my phone is linked in there I don't have to keep holding my phone anymore. I can also customize the different faces of the watch too!! I love it and I do highly recommend it.

    Great Entry Level Apple Watch

    I wanted to give the Apple Watch a try after hearing good things about it and that in the near future they will support sleep tracking. I decided I should start out with one of the more basic models due to my previous track record of damage faces on standard watches. These things aren't exactly cheap and I wanted to see how it held up under my normal activities. I find that I am pretty careful with it, so that is good. I started out with a 38mm model because I don't like huge, bulky watches, but ended up returning it and buying this one instead. I have been very happy with it so far and think the size of the 42mm model is just right. My advise would be to go to the store and check them out yourself. Even though you can get the dimensions online, there is nothing quite like having the actual item in hand! As far as the features, it takes some time to get used to using it, but I find that I run into new ways that it makes things easier every day. If you are on the fence, go ahead and give it a try!

    Let me start by saying after having a Garmin for many years, this has been a great watch for my running and keeping record of my exercise. However, after only two month the main button for all apps isn't responding to my touch. Everything else seems to working fine. But this glitch has me worried about the longevity of the watch. After much debate between the Garmin and Apple watch, I chose the Apple and I'm a bit sorry I did.

    Great watch battery lasts through the day and its handy for working out. Use it all the time to set rest timers and swipe through playlists at the gym without pulling out my phone. Although not used as much as I thought I would though the day its an ok accessory none the less.

    The Apple Watch Series 3 was exactly what I wanted at the price that I wanted to pay. It has the features that I needed and is easy to sync up with my I Phone. I am glad that I made the purchase at Best Buys. The online purchase was easy and pick at the store was convenient. Thanks Best Buy.

    I love my Apple Watch. I knew that I wanted one, but wasn't really sure what exactly I would use it for. Ha! But I really love it. Being able to see who is calling me at a glance or see my text messages and know if I need to respond immediately is so helpful. And the fitness tracker is great. I love closing all of my rings!

    I purchased the Apple Watch series 3 to replace the series 1 I had. Having GPS available without the phone is great for workouts. I also switched to the 42mm from the 38mm, and I love the bigger screen size. It may be because it’s new, but the battery lasts way longer. So far I’m loving everything about this watch.

    I’ve had the Series 1 for about 2 years now and have been waiting for something to kick in with GPS. I bought this right before Christmas and have been loving it the past couple of weeks. The battery seems to last longer on it as well. I could 1 & 1/2 days on my Series 1. This watch seems to last 2 &1/2 days on a single charge. Glad I upgraded!

    I love this watch! I upgraded from a series 1. It runs so smooth and flawlessly compared to series 1. It feels like what the Apple Watch was meant to be. The ability for Siri to talk back is refreshing. The ability to see HTML emails is a huge plus as well. And finally the fact that it is waterproof seals the deal.

    Got this for my wife at Christmas. She loves it! She hates to take it off at bedtime. She started tracking her runs, yoga classes, HIT training and cycling. I’m getting one next month. Best Buy had a great deal on these during the holidays. I bought one a couple of years ago from BB for my daughter. Still going strong.
