This is my first Apple Watch purchase. Thought with the series 4 capabilities it was the best time to purchase one. Have owned it for about a month now. I was little skeptical I needed one, but glad I purchased. Love the independence! It is very light weight and the basic black band that comes with it feels very comfortable. Wear it always and forget it's on my wrist till I get a gentle vibrating kick with incoming messages or encouraging health reminders/goal achievements. I keep mine on mute. I especially like not being required to take your phone on long walks and jogs. It's also water proof, so no more covering my phone with a sandwich bag in anticipation of a rain shower during a long jog. Yeah! I have ATT Cellular service and it appears to be OK with my watch use, not extremely strong in my hilly neighborhood though. Battery life for the series 4 watch is exactly what Apple has documented. I get about 3 hours when cellular is on with heavy app use during workouts, listening to music, etc. When cellular is off, watch can go all day with more that half the battery or so remaining before I charge for the night. I really like the nightstand feature when charging as well. Speaker clarity and volume is really exceptional. I take calls while I'm busy doing things around house, etc., hands-free and the callers have told me it sounded very clear like I was using a landline phone. The Apple Watch app is very easy to use with lot's of different watch faces and complications to chose from to meet your personal preference. The only disappointment I had was that the watch cannot pair with your car's bluetooth. You'll need to have your iphone with you in order to listen to music in your car without headphones.

Apple really outdone themselves this time! The screen size on this watch is great...battery life works pretty good. The claim that it gets all day battery life depends on the usage. I listen to music and workout with it so by the end of the day I have to put it on the charger so that I can monitor my sleep. I highly recommend it because it’s a great device to monitor your fitness and motivate you.

Finally took the plunge and now am a proud owner of an Apple Watch. Still learning about the options and so far it has been great. I did have the Zagg protector put on. It has some challenges like recognizing my keystrokes. I think it’s better to protect watch. So it hasn’t been too bad.
One thing to keep in mind is if you’re an avid Fitbit user, you do have to buy an app to sync with the Watch. I purchased a bundled product offer and I am able to see and share my steps with family and friends. It does work.
I haven’t downloaded a sleep app yet but that’s not that important to me. What I DO MISS is my SiriusXM app. You may be disappointed on this one and as of now there is no compatibility between apple and SiriusXM. Otherwise, you need alternative music listening options.
I am almost 4 weeks into this purchase and I am glad I made this purchase. Oh yeah, be prepared to charge regularly. Holds charge for about 18 hrs depending on my usage. I just charge in am when I’m still in bed. Not losing any steps....

Very pleased with series 4 Apple Watch. I upgraded from a series 2 that was still going strong. Love the larger display area and the cellular capabilities. Activation through AT&T was a breeze through the watch app. Battery life is great as I get two full days of use between charges. Ordered online and picked up in store. Price was best I found.

I love my new Apple Watch as much as I love my iPhone. It is attractive and works in so many cool ways. I can make and take phones right on my wrist, and the sound is great when I am talking on my Apple Watch. Siri is right there on my wrist when I need her. I am a teacher. and sometimes when I am moving my arms or hands on class to describe something to my students and speak at the same time, Siri comes on a comments or gives information she thinks I need. Funny but. fun too.
Love how the watch tracks my movements and when I am out walking, running, exercising or something, the watch tells me that I a working our and wants me to set the workout app to track my details. Cool, stuff.
The Apple Watch is very new and I haven't tried everything it is capable of doing, I am sure. But I find it very useful.
The only thing is I bought it a few weeks ago, and now Apple has announced the Series 5 Apple Watch which is always on, and I don't have to flick my wrist to see the time.
I wander if I can upgrade to the Series 5....

I have bought every Apple Watch since they came out. This time around I was pretty skeptical about going from the S3 to the S4. It just seemed like an unnecessary upgrade. I was wrong.
The screen size is *so* much bigger at 44. The complications and screen at just gorgeous -- and the watch is lighter than the S3.
Battery life hasn't changed. Seems to be good. I haven't used Walkie Talkie at all. The speaker is louder and you can actually hear Siri directly through the watch without headphones which is nice.
Yes it's pricey but once you make the investment you'll be happy.

I had a Series 2 Apple Watch and upgraded to the Series 4... I love it! The larger screen size is very noticeable in comparison to what I had previously. While the dimensions of the watch are just a little bit larger, it still seems to be about the same size on my wrist. The haptic feedback on the digital crown is a nice feature. I am also seeing better battery life than I had with my Series 2. I have always loved the activity tracking features of the Apple watches and being able to store songs on the watch to listen to while exercising is a killer feature for me. Add a pair of wireless Beats or AirPods and no more headphone wires to get tangled up! I purchased the cellular version, but have not activated the cellular functions yet... Not sure if I see a great benefit in paying $10 a month addition on my cellular bill to take a call or stream music. (I heard the Series 4 is supposed to be better than previous iterations at phone calls... I have not had a chance to try that out yet.) Ultimately, there are less expensive smart watches out there, but they lack the integration with other Apple devices and accounts. They are also not as accurate for activity tracking and the waterproofing and features of the Apple Watch are second to none. Glad I picked this up as a pre-order on release day because I would be going crazy if I had to continue to wait for them to be back in stock (like some of my friends). The downside is that the watch cannot go multiple days on a single charge, meaning it cannot really be worn at night as a sleep tracker. Given that, I never understood the value of tracking sleep anyway because what can I do about it if I didn't sleep well? Seems overrated to me.
Ultimately, I love my Apple Watch and am very happy with the purchase.

I got my Apple Watch back in October and have used it every day since the purchase. As a big Apple fanboy, I have to say, while I love this product, I'm not totally blown away. I purchased the cellular version in hopes that it would allow me to use my phone less. However, I don't seem to be using my phone any less than I normally would without the watch. Texting isn't entirely fluid with having to write out letters or using speech-to-text (which although is mostly accurate, is not too practical for me). I have a mount on my dashboard for my phone, so using Maps on my watch while driving doesn't change anything for me when I can just view Maps on my phone right in front of me.
Another big issue that I have, although it isn't the watch's fault, is the lacking Spotify app which finally released after years of not having one. The Spotify app works only as a remote, rather than a stand-alone app like Apple Music; you have to be in range of your phone for Spotify to work on the watch. I hope this improves with time. If you're an Apple Music user, this won't apply to you. However, with Apple Music, your music isn't listed in chronological order (recently added being on top), which I find sucks.
Now that I've gotten the things I don't like about the watch out of the way, here are some things I love... I find the Activity app to be the most useful for me to keep track of my exercises, especially with expanded information that is automatically synced with your iPhone's health app. A 3rd-party sleep app called Sleepwatch is also great to get an overview of your quality of sleep, showing a graph of your heart rate, sleep time, heart rate dip, sleep rhythm, and restful sleep. The Wallet app makes paying for things a lot easier with contactless readers -- with a push of a button, I can buy a coffee without having to pull out my physical wallet and card. Phone calls are loud and clear. Siri works great (most of the time), and will only get better with future software updates. The design of the watch is very clean and elegant, and matched with the right band, can make for a classy aesthetic.
If you're a user, like myself, who has never used an Apple Watch before, I would recommend this product if you have the money to spend. If you're skeptical, get yourself a Series 3 for half the cost. I wouldn't blow your money on the stainless steel version, because it's only for aesthetic purposes and provides no difference in performance.

I purchased my watch after the following incident. On July 3 while walking the dogs my wife fell and struck her head causing an extremely serious concussion. Emergency services were called as a function of the anti fall feature on her Apple watch. She spent four days in intensive care and one day of transition from the hospital. She is now home and recovering with an expectation of 100% recovery. Thank you APPLE WATCH!!!!!!!! She insisted that I also get one of the watches and I did. After this experience Several of our friends have now purchased Apple 4 Watches.

I had a series 0 apple watch for several years and had been looking to upgrade at some point. It was the health features of the new watch which sold me. Fall Tracking, upcoming ECG, heart beat detection, etc. all great to have. Battery life is good. Makes it through the day with no problem. When calculating what it costs to add to your cell plan, keep in mind that the taxes/fees (for the cellular model) will nearly be equal to the monthly charge. The new watch faces are nice. And I can't believe how much bigger the screen seems between bringing it to the edges and making the watch slightly larger.

Of course it works well. I chose this version because it has a replaceable battery and the 44mm screen is easier to see. I didn't like the idea of the always on with the Series 5. Maybe that can be toggled. Not sure. I do recommend getting a simple guard that goes around the edges to avoid chips unless you are very delicate with your watch.
Since this is previous generation the price was better. I didn't like the touted "upgrades" on the series 5. Unless you get an ego boost from having the newest thing, this is just fine.

I just upgraded from the series 0 (Launch Version) to the 4. I love the extra complications that can be organized on the slightly larger screen. The better processor means it's way faster and snappier to respond then the original. The battery is lasting longer as well. The charging cord is a little shorter than the original but I'm actually ok with that because I did feel like the longer length was a little over kill. If you have the original Apple Watch and have been on the fence I would definitely recommend if you can swing it.

I've used the Apple Watch 1 (not the original) and 3. I really liked the 3. But, this new watch surpasses both easily. I love the larger screen - noticeably larger but does not feel bigger from a footprint standpoint. Faster for an Apple Watch. The new features such as fall detection are really nice to have. The only downside I feel like is the battery life seems a little less on this watch, which was already low enough. Not a big deal for me, but something to consider if you want to wear your watch beyond a day without charging.

This was my first Apple Watch & I bought it thinking I’d only wear it when I worked out of walked the dog. After the first day it has become my every day watch! I love the activity tracker, the ability to turn on my Digital Crown & make it water proof, the walkie talkie function & so much more! The 44mm screen is great & very touch responsive. I can’t wait for the EKG functionality to be released. I’ve reduced my phone screen time drastically by having my watch so I still feel connected but not glued to my iPhone.

I use my watch daily for tracking exercise and listening to music. I have it paired with my power beats pro headphones and it is excellent for my daily runs and so nice not to have to bring my cell phone along. I like being able to listen to apple music or podcasts right through the watch, as well as tune in radio for some of my morning shows that I enjoy. Overall excellent watch!

I have owned android wear, samsung gears and Apple Watch series 1, 2, and 4. The series 4 is the best of the bunch. The screen size and the speed at which it performs is much better then any of the watches I have had in the past. Battery life is about 2 days.
The only things missing are quick charging and always on display. The one function that does not work well is the raise to talk to Siri. It might work about 40 percent of the time. Works every time I say hey Siri, or hold the Digital Crown so its not a deal breaker. Would of given it a 4.5 star but its not an option. I took the one star off because I feel like an always on display for time should be a basic feature.

Received the Apple iWatch as a gift from my wife. Initially I was wondering why she Purchased a watch that you would have to charge up. Well, three weeks later I’m Loving it. Additionally I’m planning on surprising her with the same watch. The watch stays charged for a couple of days and recharge is fairly quick. I enjoy using it at the gym monitoring my heart rate and using it to control my music

I went from a First Generation (which stopped updating summer last year) to the Series 4. This is by far the best investment I have made in a while. The ability to compete with my friends has made a huge impact on my fitness goals, being able to make calls from watch is extremely important due to health reason. I love the bigger screen. It did take some time to adjust to the size but I love it!

This is my second Apple Watch. I was always skeptical about getting one, but after having for a week I was hooked. I literally stopped wearing any of my other watches, which I have many to choose from. I love being able to see messages calls even if my phone isn’t in my hand. I have not connected cellular yet, but got this model in case I decide to later on. You cant go wrong, take it from me.

Didn’t realize how bad the battery life was on the old model until wearing this one for a couple days. Have been wearing for about 30 hours and it’s still at 39% - pretty amazing. The larger screen is fantastic. Call volume and quality is much better for me and for the caller even when walking or not holding the watch near my face. The new watch faces are almost information overload but that’s a good thing.
