    This Series 3 Apple Watch purchase is replacing my original series Apple Watch which finally gave-in to heavy use at work in a kitchen environment. The upgrade was very noticeable in the speed apps loaded, image quality, and most importantly, the increased battery life. Purchased on sale and worth every penny.

    As an owner of the original, first generation Watch, this is a vast improvement in terms of battery life (comfortably lasts throughout the day), functionality (swim support, additional heartbeat functions), and overall performance (so...much...faster). A useful addition to your collection if you're invested in Apple's ecosystem.

    Works really good! You can sync most apps that are on your phone. I find that I use it mostly for fitness. Answering calls on the watch is not my favorite because I always feel like I'm yelling for people on the other end to hear me. Other than that everything else is pretty much easy to operate.

    First time having an Apple iPhone, decided to try apple watch to pair with it. The Series 3 was on sale so i tried it, LOVE it. It is much cheaper than the newer version and still does what i wanted. Although I may upgrade in the future, this was a nice starter watch at a cheaper price.

    My husband was very resistant to spending so much on a “watch”. I have one and love it. So I forced him in to getting one and he loves it too. He’s more aware of his activity. It’s encouraged him to stand and walk around more. And it looks great on him.

    It's been a year since I purchased this watch and I have no complaints. This watch is honestly great! It paired to my phone quick and it was easy and the battery life is amazing! If you are looking for an inexpensive series of the Apple Watch I recommend this one.

    I originally got this as a gift but I cracked the screen on a concrete surface so this was a replacement. Decent performance but the model is long in the tooth. Apple Watch SE might be a better value at this point but jump on the Series 3 if the price is great.

    Although the screen looks the same, i like how much faster this is from the previous model, and it can also track stair climbing

    I got the series 3 and am very happy with it! Easy to setup and pair with my iPhone! I love the health features! Text messaging is a breeze! I would suggest this for those of you that don’t want to pay the price of the Series 5! Love the turn signal sound while navigating with it!

    The watch just has so much to offer, from voice texting to fitness apps to answering phone calls by lifting up your wrist. Full charge last 3 full days if you turn off at bedtime. Suggest getting a screen protector or watch bumper. If you like your iPhone you will like the Apple Watch. Can’t wait to use it golfing.

    Replaced Fitbit with Apple Watch

    My hubby and I got new Apple Watches for a replacement of our Fitbits . we both find the Fitbit more comfortable to wear and I liked that all activities synced with my Weight Watchers app. The Apple Watch only syncs actual steps to Weight Watchers. I ride my bike about 1 1/2-2 hours a day for exercise and have to manually input those minutes to the WW App. Otherwise, I love the quick look to see texts or who is calling without racing to find my phone. My husband'e apple watch stays charged longer than mine, but they charge quickly. I am sure there are a lot of other features that we don't use to their fullest, but will soon :)

    I cracked the glass on my original Apple Watch Series 3 and Apple wants $240 to replace the glass, which is ridiculous. So I shopped around for a new one because series 3 is now three years old. Best Buy had the best price, was in stock and I had it the next day.

    I’ve been looking for a waterproof watch for a while now. I wasn’t sure if I wanted the cellular enabled watch or just GPS. I ended up going with the GPS and couldn’t be happier! It’s a great watch while on the lake, have received phone calls and text messages with my phone being on the other side of the house with no problem!

    I love my new Apple Watch series 3 . It helps me keep track of my fitness workouts and motivates me to stay active. I love how I can sync all my Apple devices together. I can even use it in place of my I phone . It is a purchase that I do not regret making. I would definitely recommend one to all of my friends and family.
