    So this is definitely a hard to come by watch. And I never considered I'd spend this much on a watch...but it is a purchase I do not regret! Out of the box, this thing looks amazing. The stainless steel mixed with the gold POPS! Then when you actually turn it on, you're hit with a bigger, more radiant screen and it is love at first sight. Granted, I upgraded from a Series 1, so this is a big deal for me, but the processor is definitely faster. This thing updates in less than 40 seconds and charges twice as fast. So, all in all, excellent timepiece and one I'm super excited about!

    Beautiful Piece of Tech

    I'm not even that big of an Apple fan. My personal phone is a note 9 but I have an XS Max for work. I got this watch because I'm always on the go and wanted an option to not have to bring my phone with me all the time but still be able to receive important calls or texts. This cellular Apple watch comes in beautifully. Works great. I was having a bit of an issue when I left the phone area of it connecting to LTE automatically but now for the most part it's automatic. I would recommend this to anyone. I love Samsung but I do have to say because I also have a Galaxy watch that they have a little ways to go to catch up with the Apple watch. Not to mention 4 times the GB storage size. This watch that is shown is the 44mm one. I did order the 40mm but when I got it, I decided that I wanted the bigger to display. I'm a female and it does look a bit big on my wrist but I'm okay with that.

    Best Apple Watch yet! I have had every series of previous models. This is the best one! Great sound and heart health is a great feature. Larger screen on 40mm is very clear and perfect for a littler wrist that cannot wear larger 44mm in past. Black stainless is really gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.

    The feels and the looks of this it’s nice! And that you are able to switch bands as you go! The features of the series 4 are super. They add it to be more clear the screen and better to manage the daily routine and able to fit it on your watch.

    I had the aluminum series 3mand was hesitant about upgrading to the Series 4. The series 4 gold stainless is expensive but so worth if if you want a beautiful looking Apple Watch. The larger screen is significantly easier to see. I am petite female and the 44mm is too large so I went with the 40mm. The sound quality is much better and I love that it has fall detection (not that I plan on falling but it’s a nice safety feature!) Very happy I upgraded.

    Have upgraded from my first one I owned. Love the larger display. so much easier to use and it isn't that much larger. You actually can't tell them apart. I had to turn it on to see the difference. Battery life is amazing. But that could be because my other one began to die out by the end of the night. This one I charge every other day.

    I have 2 originals, 1 series 4, and now this series 4. GREAT upgrade. The screen is very noticeably larger. The battery life is longer. I always buy steel or ceramic for durability. I have had no issues with quality and they last. The bad does pull arm hairs near the wrist. Bought it on a great sale after series 5 was released.

    I upgraded from the Apple watch series 2 GPS to GPS + cellular. Wasn't sure I needed it, but I love not having to carry my phone around in order to make and receive calls. The stainless steel case and band are beautiful. So happy I made the switch...and it was an incredible price!!!

    Apple watch for the wife

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    What can I say, it's an apple product. This watch was purchased for my wife for a birthday gift. I am not a fan of apple products and I am a avid samsung user. But with that being said my wife is an apple lover. She is loving the watch and still learning all the tricks and trades of the watch. One thing I will mention is that if you're purchasing the watch that has the cellular, make sure that your cellphone plan will work with the watch. My wife and I have been with Verizon for as long as we can remember and we were grandfathered in to their old unlimited plan. Our old plan would not work with the apple watch so in order for the cellular part to work with the watch we had to switch to a new plan. The new plan that we now have I personally don't like it because my data speeds are slower even though it's still unlimited data its only dedicated fully until a certain GB and I use a lot of GB due to streaming. So please look into that before you purchase the cellular watch.

    No regrets

    I upgraded to this watch from a Series 2 aluminum Apple Watch. I have absolutely no regrets about the upgrade or the extra cost. First, this new watch is much faster than my old Apple Watch. Apps used to freeze and otherwise just act weird when I opened them on my old watch. Now, I open an app and, like magic, the app opens. No hesitation, no freezing. Second, I am so glad I upgraded from the aluminum to the stainless steel. I had so many marks on my old watch face from where I banged it into things. Between having young kids and being a klutz, I am really glad I went for the stronger watch face. I was a bit concerned as some reviews said the stainless was noticeably heavier than the aluminum when wearing. I am not a big person and I am pretty active (including running) and I don't think the added weight is bad at all. In fact, it's kind of comforting (to me at least).

    The watch is for my 85 year old mother. She lives alone, and I have a lot less worries now due to the constant contact provided by the watch. The fall monitor is a big plus also. And she is a jewelry person, and thinks this watch looks like a piece of jewelry, as apposed to the sports models. She is very happy with it.

    I have the first generation Apple Watch and it's been working great. Recently upgraded to the Series 4 and the performance is night and day. Update and boot time are way faster. Especially like the bigger display and the responsiveness.

    Best deal to get your apple watch

    It adds up. Best Buy has all the tech items and if you watch the sales, which apple never has, and watch for open-box items, which are like brand new, you get the best deal. I do like the magnetic watch band. Can be cumbersome but it is the dressiest out there for the apple watch.

    I fought for years against getting an Apple Watch! I finally caved with this one! I love the stainless steel, the gold and the band! Now that the watch can track sleep and holds a charge all day, with a one hour charge time, it’s just about perfect!

    I had a Fitbit versa that died after 6 months. It was replaced under warranty and started having issues within another 6 months. This watch is beautiful and has all you could want in way of apps. Great battery life. Great Apple Product!

    I've been using this every day since Nov 2018, never had any issues with it. The black stainless still looks good although it is showing a bit of minor wear, but that's as expected. I use it with an iPhone XS Max. Highly recommended!

    Best Apple Watch i've owned (so far!). I upgraded and got this version with cellular so I don't have to take my phone when I run. Connects to Airpods super easy. So convenient to have everything on your wrist!
