    It’s great to just get notifications without your phone handy. Sucks you can’t use all the functions as your phone even on cellular!!!

    Love the look and how it feels. The apps I can get on it compare to other watch I owned are great. Battery is great and charges fast I wear it all day and charge it only when I shower. Took two full days to drain the battery with what charge it had out the box and fully charged in about 2 hours or less not sure I fell sleep. In the gym heart monitor a lot more accurate then Fitbit. I seem to love it more each day. Only issue is that sometimes I leave my phone behind and 4g don’t kick on but I imagine that’s a issue that Apple will fix...I hope

    would be 5 stars but the glass scratched soooooo easy.. Great for tracking steps. using some app when away from the phone and calling and texting away from the phone. If it wasn't for the glass scratching so easy I would have easily put 5 stars. I bought apple care with it and had the screen replaced once after my son knocked it off my bed onto the floor while charging. and apple sent me another one brand new.. the same day before i had a chance to goto the store and buy a screen protector it brushed against a trash can, a plastic trash can put a deep scratch right across the screen. soo just waiting for it to break one more time to use my last replacement with apple care. aside from the glass this watch is awesome!!

    The battery sucks but I like everything else about this watch. It connects to WiFi and you don’t have to have your phone near you to text and talk. It’s nice to have and it’s good to tell you how many steps and calories you burn everyday. I really like this watch and am happy with it just don’t like the battery life.

    Coming from a Samsung Gear S2 watch, this watch is light years ahead. The display is much cleaner and smoother. Samsung has issues all the time with Bluetooth and connectivity. Apple on the other hand does not. Although it’s a Series 3. It’s similar to the 4 and 5. Very little differences can be seen besides screen size. Waterproof capabilities are rather well. Haven’t swam with it. But it does fine for a shower or washing your hands. Band that comes out of box is somewhat uncomfortable at times. But a new band will fix that. It’s a nice smartwatch. But does come at a price.

    I love the watch itself and how easily you can customize it. The battery life is great. The only two things I don't like is that the LTE doesn't work that great and it scratches somewhat easily.

    I was thinking about buying a fit bit and a watch separately. Both problems are solved with one apple watch. It is both stylish and at the same time tracking my fitness. I love watch.

    I want to be as open with my review on this product.As other apple products this one has class and style built with quality materials.The cellular service is great. I want to keep the buyers informed that there is additional career charges for using the cellular service.It varies around 10$.

    Overall, I like the watch. I have not been able to get it to connect to the cell service via Sprint even though I have taken it to the Apple store and also a Sprint store. They said everything looks good and can’t figure out why it’s not able to work independent of my phone.

    The Apple Watch is great. Lots of features and lots of eye candy. I'm not sure if it's worth the price though. I got this watch, because I wanted a new watch to track my running and heart rate and so on, and I figured this was the best option, because everything I saw said it was just as good at tracking as most watches made for that, but it's also basically a phone. So, I figured I'd just go ahead and get it. Then there's worry of breaking something and having to repair it, but overall I enjoy the Apple Watch very much.

    Did not realize how great of an item the Apple watch is. My wife is still talking about all the functions and the ease of use. If you are looking to please someone with a nice gift, then this is the item.

    Good, but a little overrated.

    I really do enjoy my Apple cellular Watch; however, I do believe it is a bit overrated. I often do not have reception (Verizon) on my watch when someone sitting right beside me has reception on their phone (also Verizon). However, it is nice to be able to leave my phone in my office when I'm working and still have access to a timer, and to emergency texts. I'm happy with my purchase, but it is NOT the super-duper amazing device as it is sometimes described.

    I love that you can get open box Apple products at Best Buy. I love this watch, especially since I can take it in the pool. I stream music from my phone to our outside speakers, and I love that I can control the music with my watch from the pool. I did knock it down a star because the strap doesn’t breath well, and it chaffed my wrist. This was easily remedied by purchasing a different strap.

    Upgraded to the series 2 to the series 3 thinking it would be better it wasn’t. Also your phone company will charge you an exteac$10 a month for the cellular. But it’s a good watch
