    It worked really well with my IPhone 11 Pro Max. I had my doubts that it wouldn't perform as well since it was an older model but I had no problems whatsoever. I even bought it open box just to save money and it was perfect.

    I’m still learning all that I can do with this watch. Easy to set up. Loaded apps based on my iPhone apps. Easy to use. Tracking my steps and exercise. Syncs with my work outlook as well. I can even remote start my Chevy truck with the watch. If you have an iPhone get this watch.

    I had a gen1 AppleWatch. it held up over time and actually improved with updates. This watch has a cleaner feel, the processor is stronger so apps and functions don't choke up or jitter. The water resistance feature is great. Wish it was more 'in your face' with the literature but it is not hard to figure out. "live" watch faces are cool. For still being a strong watch this is a solid deal on current pricing and specials. side note - price match and open box return policies are confusing. even to reps. doesn't seem well thought out for Elite Plus members.

    This is my second Apple watch as I also have a Series 1 which I dropped on my tile floor and cracked the edge of the sapphire face. The old one still works so now I have one for working around the house and one for wearing when I go out. I recommend getting a protective cover for the watch face.

    I purchased this watch along with my iPhone 13. I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this watch compared to some of the far newer series watches, however, I believe for the low cost offered by BestBuy for the Series 3 (compared to the prices of later models), that this is the way to go. Save hundreds of dollars for the lack of a few small features. Sure this one does not have the newer, lower profile design, or the cellular connectivity function, but it gives me health insights, message control, call-from-watch functions, and much more.

    This was my first Apple wearable device and I am more than pleased. The ability to see text messages on my wrist is perfect when driving and the iphone is in my pocket. Much safer than trying to get the phone out of my pocket. The fitness options are super and encourage me to move and exercise.

    I love the exercise rings that count how active you are. You can download games on here, it is water resistant(up to 164 feet under water). Cellular is not necessary with this product, and the bigger screen makes a big difference. Over all, a great purchase.

    Have you ever had a watch once it gets wet; it doesn't work? Do you ever think of what to wear today for example Apple Watch or Fitbit? Whether your're tech savvy or not this watch does it all for all ages. Great watch for a great price.

    Slightly improved over the 2. Only real difference is the phone. But use it too much and the battery is dead

    Purchased as a gift for a male. He was able to set-up and use within 15 minutes of taking out of the box. Easy to pair with his phone, easy read out display. Liked the design of the band and classy enough for him to wear in the office to match his suits.

    Purchased this Apple Watch Series 3, for my Wife’s Birthday and she loves it. She enjoys all the functionality, especially, the ability to receive and talk on her Watch without having to search and pull-out from “somewhere” e.g. her Purse for her Apple Cell Phone. Great for Fitness Tracking.

    Easy and convenient to use. Helpful for a busy life, especially since I also tend to work outdoors in the cold (much more convenient to do a quick check on the watches try to find my phone with my freezing hands in a pocket somewhere).

    I owned an Apple Watch 1 and upgraded to the Apple Watch 3 a few weeks ago. The version 3 battery life and overall performance are a big improvement over the version 1. So is interoperability with my iPhone. I use the workout features of the watch daily and could not be more pleased with it.

    I got the i-watch and use it for about a week and it just sat in my drawer for a few days so i decided to return it. It was cool for a couple days but i had no use for it as much as i thought ill use it so i returned it. Great product and piece of technology no doubt about that.

    Bought this for my dad hoping it will help track his health concerns, heart rate and physical activity. He’s been loving it and sends me pics of his step count everyday lol. He absolutely loves it and it’s easy to use even for his age.
