    Fits my needs perfectly watch face size is perfect not too overbearing or too small battery life is amazeballs. Price is great for what I received and what I needed can’t complain. Ended up purchasing another for my husband and now going to be purchasing a third for my daughter that’s graduating.

    I purchased 2 on Black Friday my granddaughter loves hers she wears it everyday. I also purchased one for myself and also love it. I enjoy seeing how much I walk a day I also like the breathing exercises, and heart rate. I was hoping to use it for sleep however it’s not comfortable enough to sleep with. While I’m at work I leave my phone on my desk the volume isn’t that loud however I can tell the incoming caller to hold til I get to my phone, I can also respond to texts from my watch. I really think it was worth the money and I got them for $259.00 on Black Friday. I didn’t feel I needed the cellular and I haven’t missed not getting it.

    The apple watch was in awesome, new condition. Although the box was opened, everything was there and untouched. I recommend getting the open-box version than the new version, because you save money and it is basically the same thing.

    Perfect watch for the price. Easy to use and enjoy. It syncs easily with an iPhone and keeps track of all appointments, exercise, weather, and more convenient to use for a fast check on anything rather than the iPhone. The many different watch bands available make for an easy and fast style change.

    If you are looking for an Apple Watch that is not too pricey this is the perfect one for you, all the functions you need GPS you can talk on the phone with it if you can’t get to your phone, and overall the battery life is amazing the series 3 42 mm is the best

    I had a Fitbit for close to 3 years but wanted to upgrade once I got a tax return check. The watch is a better companion to my iPhone XR then my Fitbit. It doesn’t have all the fancy features of the Apple Watch 5, but it is definitely worth the price!

    So far, so good! I wanted an Apple Watch, mainly for the convenience of having text and fitness trackers at my fingertips (literally.) This 3 series works great, and it didn’t have the hefty price tag of the more elite 6 series. It’s perfect for my basic needs!

    Series 3 42mm hits sweet spot

    My Series 3 42mm has given me all-day battery life, health tracking, and more. If you're looking for a smartwatch that gets the job done without costing $500 or more this is the right choice. What I enjoy in my Series 3 Apple Watch is the waterproof for swimming. Specifically, these models have been designed to withstand water depth up to 160 feet or 50 meters! For most users, Apple Watch Series 3 offers the best things an Apple Watch can do with a price that is way more reasonable and affordable.

    Golfing watch

    Bought to interface with my iPhone 8 to work with Arccos golf app which works very well. Getting used to having a watch that tells you what to do - get up, move, breathe... tornado watch, your bpm is 55 etc. (that was just today). A friend suggested the 3 vs the 6 based on price and would I use the added features of the 6 ? Very happy so far - the apps loaded seamlessly and most everything is relatively easy if you are used to Apple products

    Purchases for my husband. This is great for tracking fitness and him being able to see texts and calls without having to have his phone in his hand all day. Very intuitive to use and the price for the 3rd generation is awesome.

    I have to say I love this device, make life 10 times better and easier, many times I find myself sitting with my child on my chest asleep and unable to get my phone from my pocket, and this lets me know what is going on. Has so many features I had no idea of, my wife has one as well and we love them, they are so user friendly and so well built. I was worried and tried to do many different protections on it and all let me down so I talked to a store rep and said dont sweat it due to apple care if something does happen, so I have gone about a month now with 0 protection on it and I work outside a lot and doing construction and woodworking and surprisingly this thing and its scree is really tough and seems to brush off scratches pretty easy. I beat it up and it still looks brand new with the abuse I put it through. Great purchase. And I did buy the Series 3 over the series 4 because of price point but not at all disappointed.

    Switched from Fitbit Ionic to Apple Watch

    LOVE my Apple Watch functionality and design. My Fitbit Ionic (less than one year old) stopped calculating calories burned. After attempting to resolve with Fitbit Chat Support and Phone call, I just decided to return, given that I had purchased the 2 year extended warranty. I was offered a new Ionic, but Best Buy no longer provides extended warranty (Fitbit quality control issue?). So, with the warranty balance, I asked to upgrade to an Apple Watch with Apple Care. Within a week, the price of the Apple Watch dropped and I got my money back. I love how the watch communicates with my iPhone 6 Plus, unlocks my Mac, and provides all of the data/feedback I need for my weight loss journey. With the money I saved, I also purchased two additional bands (sport and dressy) from Amazon. LOVE THIS APPLE WATCH (and you will too)!!!!!

    This watch is great! Got it on sale for a good price. I was able to answer and make calls. Join Apple monthly competitions and control my music as I worked out. Unfortunately, I had to return the watch because I really wanted the silver one and Bestbuy didn’t have it. However, I was able to purchase the silver one at another store and now It’s honestly met my needs. If you are thinking of getting one. Be like Nike and “just do it”. It’s a good investment.
