    I bought this 2 years ago and my biggest concern was if it would last. So far it’s been great, I did buy a 3rd party case to protect it after I scratched a corner. I use it for walks and working out and it’s great for getting texts to my watch. The only thing I hate is having to charge it so often. I love tracking my sleep so if you do the same get used to seeing “Low Power” messages almost every day. Otherwise it’s worth it and I wasn’t spending more than $250 for a watch.

    I’ve bought 3 apple watches for love ones and they were so happy. The first one was dropped and broken so I go her another one which was my second purchase and she was super happy. She felt bad for the broken watch but there’s nothing I would not do for my daughter! The third watch watch was for my girlfriend and she was more excited than both watches I bought for my daughter. Making them happy is my job!!!!

    Works well. I’ve been through several bands, but still have this original case on my watch. It’s got some wear and tear on it, but it does the job of protecting and I’m happy I was advised to get it.

    Added GPS, battery life & waterproof compared to series 1 Watch. I Love it. The battery life and speed connecting to phone functions is a HUGE improvement, so if you’re looking to upgrade from a Series 1 I recommend it. If you’ve got a series 2 I don’t think it’s worth the change. I wish carriers weren’t being ridiculous about data plans for the Watch; is have gotten the LTE model of not for that part of it.

    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.

    I couldn't decide on a Fitbit or an Apple watch. I decided on the watch as I wanted something that would notify me of text messages and phone calls as I don't always feel my phone vibrate in my pocket at work. I absolutely love this watch. It's very durable and I don't have a protective cover on it. My job requires lots of manual labor and this watch takes a beating sometimes. Has some surface scratches but nothing that makes it unusable. Very convenient to have notifications appear on my wrist. I feel the vibration when notifications appear which is extremely helpful. I have small wrists so I use the smaller band that is provided. The band works great. My old Fitbit band irritated my skin. Love all the different faces you can use too. I'm always changing them up. Highly recommend if your looking for something to have as a watch and a notification center.

    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.

    Best Smart Watch

    I love the Apple Watch Series 3. I had a series 1 for the last year and I loved that too, but it lacked the waterproof capability, GPS standalone and the altimeter. Now, this is the best watch I have owned, compared to (when I had an Android) Samsung Gear 1, Gear 2 Neo, Android Wear, (when I got an iPhone) Apple Watch Series 1 and now this - it is hands down the best.

    I’ve had a series 1 Apple Watch for two years and loved it. I just upgraded to the new series 3 and I’m loving it. It is so awesome to go from my workouts to the shower without having to remove my watch. Last week I locked my self out of my house with my iPhone still inside. Since I had my new watch on I was able to activate my electronic lock and get back inside.
