    A Happy Wife

    I say that as my wife’s Fitbit fell from its wrist strap and was rendered useless after our Yorki got ahold of it. She used it everyday for her walks and kept tract of how far she had gone. She went to B.B. website to see what a new one would cost and before she went to bed told me how much they were. I then went to the website and saw the Apple Watch was pretty close in price so the next morning I said she should look at an Apple Watch. She said “really” that’s what I really want, can we go today?” Fast forward we went to B.B. and she picked one out but it was out of stock and would need to be ordered which the clerk did and 2 days later it was here. Went back that evening and they set it all up and ever since she is finding out something new. The other morning she came to be and said “look at this” and on the watch it said “Carol it’s time to start walking, you’ve been sitting long enough” How can you not think it’s unbelievable!!!

    Love it. Easily controls music while exercising. Monitors health activity with or without prompting, though you get more credit when telling her what you are doing. Great looking time piece with good selection of faces, each having customizable hot spots for engaging other apps. You really can do the Dick Tracy thing ... making and receiving calls is easy and the sound is clear at both ends. Using Siri is a breeze. Love the turn signal clicks and haptic on my wrist that syncs with my iphone's directions. Have used other features such as: flashlight, timer, alarm, heart rate monitor, breathing exercise, weather. So easy to look at your wrist and not worry about finding your phone. The seven minute workout app it perfect on this watch. I have the cellular version but dont need to activate it yet cause my phone is always nearby on same wufi network. Too much to list as awesome! Still so much more to explore!

    So far I like it, I have had several fitbit's and they would never last much more than a year and would crater so I moved to iWatch. Great features which I probably won't use all but have what I need. Nice to be able to take calls through the watch when you are away from your phone.

    I had followed the apple watch for so long since it came out and was always a bit undecided when I was close to buying it. I am more than satisfied with it since I gave into it! From the software in it and the variety of styles and bands just make it fashionable too! The convenience of having it connected to my phone for notifications, phone calls, text messages, heart rate, tracking my activites and exercises, and so many more features that I am just too excited to even express about. I bought a second one shortly afer this one for my girlfriend and she loves it as well! The cellular and gps is totally worth the extra money because having it connected to my cellphone plan while leaving my phone somewhere and answering all calls and texts on the watch itself! I go out for runs and walks and check my heartrate to see my health all from my watch! Just amazing!!!

    I had been a smart watch holdout since they were first introduced a few years ago, but with GPS and cellular connectivity offered with Series 3, decided to give one a try. I've been surprised at how much I like it and how many different things I use it for.

    Hmm you know sometimes I’m not sure what this thing does other than the obvious on the new cellular version, tell time make calls and texts. Ok what no one will tell you is that your watches ability to send and receive texts depends on your iPhone being on and connected to the LTE network. Without WiFi and your iPhone off you won’t get any texts till your phone connects to LTE. Why? Because your phone is basically a router over LTE network to coordinate texts. You can leave your phone in another state charging and connected to LTE and you’ll get texts but leave it off you won’t. I would have got it anyway but it’s good to know! Love that it’s waterproof!

    Best Apple Watch to date.

    This the best Apple Watch to date. Having owned the two previous models, this was quite an improvement. The new watch OS is fast and snappy. There is little to no lag. The option of having a cellular connection is great although voice and sound quality isn’t quite there yet. With the volume on the phone turned all the way up I was still having a hard time in some busier environments and had to resort to my AirPods. All in all though a great device from Apple.

    I waited to buy an Apple watch until it finally got the cell phone feature. Works well for my purposes. I like that as I roam around at work that I don't have to have my phone in my pocket for phone calls. I also like that I can mow the yard at home and stream music off my wrist to my wireless headphones, again, without the bulk of a phone in my pocket. Otherwise, I like the calendar reminder features and the health apps. I downloaded a sleep monitoring app (free) that I use nightly. You can't get your emails on the watch, but you can read all the texts that come in. To respond to texts, you have to voice respond or scribble (hand write) responses. It works.

    I'm glad I bought the larger 42mm version because the screen is still pretty small. I took off a star for the band, which could be nicer for such an expensive watch. All the features work as described, which is why I bought it! Quite happy with the watch and Best Buy, who shipped it out to me in two days.
