I love this. It is very nice to know that my Apple Watch will be capible of recieveing and sending messages even when my phone is out of sight or even at home. The GPS is also nice. The Velcro band is a bit cheap looking for how much you fork out for these things, but the Velcro does stay snug and has not accidentally fallen off once.

Just bought my girl friend the Apple Watch Series 3, GPS and Cellular. She did not have a watch on her hand. She now can leave her phone home and use her watch to make calls. She set it up and she was amazed when the watch spoke to her and told her to take a 1 minute walk to exercise her legs. The watch than told her she can take a rest for one hour. She was so happy that she started crying. Thank You

Since I have a Boost Mobile phone, I knew that I wouldn't be able to use this watch with the cellular plan (unless something changes with Boost in the future to allow it), but at the time of my purchase the sale price of the GPS+Cellular option was significantly cheaper than the GPS only model, so I figured it made sense to buy this model, and just use it without the cellular option, and save some money. Bought this to incentivize myself to get up and be more active. To that end, it works well! I enjoy the hourly 'stand' notifications, prompting me to get up and move around every hour. It's easy to get wrapped up in homework, or reading, and forget to get up and move around. I also enjoy the challenge of closing my activity rings, as it gives me a daily goal to achieve. Being able to see and respond to text messages, Facebook messages, and phone calls has turned out to be even handier than I'd anticipated. I keep my phone put away while I'm at work, but having this watch allows me the opportunity to quickly, and discreetly, respond to messages without looking unprofessional or taking me away from my work duties. I didn't particularly like the sports band that came with the watch as it was kind of scratchy and uncomfortable. However, I hadn't intended on using the band anyway, as I'd ordered a rainbow metallic magnetic band off from an online site the same day I ordered this watch. As far as the functionality of this watch's activity tracker, that's where the flaws come in. While the 'Stand' loop works well and has no issues, the exercise tracker has serious issues. You can't adjust the number of minutes that you want as your exercise goal, as it is stuck at 30 minutes daily. That's okay, as I am fine with exceeding the 30 minute daily goal on the way to reaching my daily calorie, or 'move', goals. However, the watch does not accurately track exercise at all. It works great when I'm puttering around my house, which has highspeed wifi, but as soon as I leave the house, it flounders. I average about 1 minute per every 5 to 8 minutes of exercise. It's not a matter of heart rate, as my heart rate stays up over the 'brisk walk' threshold throughout my workout. If I go for a long, brisk, walk outside for an hour, I'm lucky if it tracks 5 minutes of that walk. If I go for an hour long bike ride, it tracks maybe 15 to 25 minutes of it, 35 on a good day. I've looked this issue up on Google and have seen numerous complaints of similar issues across many different discussion boards, so I know this is a consistent issue across the board. I can go into the Apple Health app and plug in my workouts through there and it, usually, will then update my exercise ring to reflect my actual exercise minutes (I say, 'usually', because sometimes that glitches also and either doesn't update my activity rings, or it skips the 'end time' to the next day, which then makes it look as though I exercised for over 20 hours straight!). It's more than a little frustrating that a device that costs this much would have such a glaring flaw, that so many have voiced complaints about, and Apple seems to just ignore those complaints. However, despite that irritation, I am keeping the watch as it still serves to motivate me to keep moving and active, and the additional features I mentioned earlier in my review are especially handy when I'm at work, out exercising, or in the middle of something that makes it hard to stop and go get my phone. If Apple ever gets around to fixing the issue with the exercise tracking, this watch would warrant a 5 star rating without question.

First, I bought this watch during Labor Day Weekend, for $75 off and 6 mths interest free financing through Best Buy. Second, what a fun watch! I got the series 3 Gps, Cellular and it has so many cool features too numerous to list. It is easy to set up and easy to learn if you're an iPhone user. My husband wants one now.

The Apple 2 watch was great but the added GPS to the watch makes this the best smart watch on the market.

Honestly unless using it for runs without a phone I'm not sure how much use it has as most people don't go anywhere without their phone. I've recently started training for a half marathon and as the weather gets warmer I don't have pockets to put my phone into. I don't like carrying my phone and the arm band bothers my skin, so I checked out the apple watch. It's honestly great as it has a GPS and phone services in case of emergency. Running feels SO. MUCH. BETTER. The GPS is fairly accurate and the battery life is pretty good. I generally take it off when I shower every night and charge it then, even if I don't I've had it last about 2 days before it died.

It's amazing how much technology they pack into this. I am continuing to find new features. The cellular and GPS features are more useful than I expected. Excellent Product!

I've purchased several smart watches and this is the best one. Not only does it link to my phone but I DO NOT NEED TO HAVE IT WITH ME to make calls or text message anyone. It tracks all movements, keeps GPS during my run.

The only missing feature for the Apple Watch is finally here!

My wife really enjoyed the iwatch series 3 with gps and cellular capabilities.

Upgraded my series 2 to series 3, and got AirPods! Love the way everything works together, and love being able to go for walks without my phone.

I am very happy with my new watch. The battery stays charged for a few days. I love the gps that tracks my excersize.

Very helpful if you forget your phone at home or in a car. It helped me out.

This watch is a must have. Great for everything. Cell and gps is the way to go

As advertised. Great to be able to use independent of phone location.

I love the fact I don’t have to have my phone on me whenever I leave the house. I just grab my keys and wallet and I’m on my way

I got it to use at work so I didn’t need to check my phone. It does the job and so much more.
