This isn’t my first iWatch but is a replacement for my iWatch 1 - excellent price for the pre-black Friday sale & the exact watch I wanted at a very affordable price - I have a case cover on it and added my own personal touch with a colored steel band

I’m glad I waited for this version (4) which allows phone functionality. Setup was very easy to do. The health aspects were the impetus for the purchase and it’s been a great motivator. Pillow, Hydrate are Breathe are my favorite apps. Also, all those steps you’ve missed before are counted now. I’ve had no trouble using third party bands and changing the watch face to match. The watch charges amazingly fast. The sound quality for phone calls is quite good but you’ll need Bluetooth headphones to keep it private. My favorite function is waking up with the tap, tap, tap on the wrist...very effective.

This is my 1st Apple Watch,so I might be more excited than normal, but I really love this watch. I’m happy that I can change bands out to fit my mood and activity. I love that I can respond to text and answer calls if I have to and I love that I can change the face of the watch too.

The fact that it was on sale makes it even better. I love this watch. It reminds me when to breath and it alerts me if I have a call or message. I can either answer on the watch or on the phone. While I wish that I could do challenges with my fitbit friends, I would not trade.

Don’t love that I can only get the cellular version if I want a stainless steel watch. Don’t use cellular enough to merit an extra $10/month charge with Verizon. Then again, you don’t have to activate the cellular. ;)
I’ve always worn stainless steel watches and am used to the extra “heft” on my wrist. It feels significantly heavier than my friend’s aluminum Apple Watch, but the difference is negligible once it’s on my wrist versus holding the two watches for comparison’s sake. I wear it to tough workouts several times a week, and it never feels heavy or cumbersome. Activity rings are motivating, workout mode useful as well as accurate. I recharge it a little bit later in the evenings so I can wear it to bed. I like hitting the snooze button from my watch for the alarm! :) I would recommend the sport loop band for workouts. The band it comes with gets quite sweaty at the gym. The band is comfortable though and good for everyday wear. I’m treating myself to Air Pods for Christmas and am looking forward to using them for calls and iTunes. Call quality from watch is good/clear, although it gets tiring to hold your wrist by your mouth. Siri is temperamental and never seems to hear me with lift to talk. I have to press the digital crown to guarantee I’ll summon her. I’m clumsy and have banged this sucker multiple times in the nearly 3 months I’ve owned it, and there is nary a scratch on the face. The stainless steel casing gets fine scratches, but they aren’t distracting and simply add to the character. I get lots of compliments on my watch, and people do notice the stainless steel and comment on how sharp it looks. I would def recommend getting AppleCare.

The watch is great! The screen resolution is amazingly bright and sharp and it's super fast! I had the series 3 in the 38mm size before so I ordered this one in the 40mm. After I tried this size for a few days and finally decided to go with the 44mm because I really liked having the bigger screen. Overall, the series 4 in either size is totally worth the upgrade!

Nothing but love for my Apple Watch 4. I previously have a Apple Watch but wanted to upgrade. So today I actually left my iPhone at home and didn’t have time to return to get it. I was 30 minutes away from home and received all my calls through my watch and answered them. It’s a must get...beautiful and elegant

Really enjoying the Apple Watch! All of my old bands look even nicer with this model :). Weight was initially noticeable, but I got used to it very quickly. Apps work well, and watch is much faster than prior versions. Highly recommend.

I have had the series 1 & 3 stainless steel watch and this is my 3rd one. The series 4 being 40mm vs the 38mm makes a big difference. Battery last 2 days and the screen is very large and clear. Love the watch.

Nice watch, I had a series 2 and love that the screen is bigger on this one. Had to get the stainless steel one with the better crystal and overall durability.

I’ve owned the sports models in the past but wanted the rose gold stainless in this series. A bit pricey but worth the upgrade. I’m pretty rough with my watch and don’t have any protectors on it but almost a year of owning it and wearing it 16+ hours a day, it still is scratch free. I still don’t think I need the cellular feature but it comes standard on the stainless.

I think the aluminum case would have been lighter in weight but the store was sold out except for the pink gold, which I did not want. I gave the white sports band to a friend and purchased the sports loop band, which is more comfortable on my wrist. The salesperson synced the watch to my iPhone and I used the online tutorial to set up the watch actions. I love the activities app. It does seem to me that my iPhone has to be charged at least once during the day, rather than lasting until late evening, and I am wondering if that is because of syncing with the watch.

It looks great in this finish, worth the extra cost. Series 4 is blistering fast and worth upgrading too if you have any older than a series 3.

The smaller format (40mm) is much better for damage control. Doesn't stick out as much as the bigger series 3 or 4.
There's a lot more you get that they don't tell you about with a Series 4, or at least I was aware.
There are even more apps that do things like measure the noise level around you in dB and the ECG heart monitor function. It even unlocks my MacBook when I'm near.
Awesome watch - battery could last a little longer, but it's apparently running a lot more.

Bought it as a gift for my wife. She needed it for fitness tracking which it does efficiently, since it is new I often find her running the ECG app on it. She hasn't yet started using it in LTE mode. Apart from fitness tracking she is using many other features also now, like many a times I find her taking calls on from the watch itself and talking in James Bond mode :), that is because the sound quality is so great and in fact better then the phone itself.

Bought this for my wife and she is in love with the fact that her cell phone can stay home when she walks the neighborhood. I was surprised how good the connection and voice quality was when talking via the watch. The 1st generation was spotty and very hard to understand on the receiving end of calls. Not this one - we HIGHLY recommend this watch.

If you want a smart watch to be more than just for notifications supplement to your iPhone a cellular connected Apple Watch opens up a lot of possibilities including leaving behind the iPhone at home altogether. If you are active outside walking/running a smart watch with its own cell service makes sense.
