    I lost my Apple Watch 2 and was super disappointed, since I have come to have it as my track everything companion. BUT I went ahead and purchased the Series 5 and now wish I would have lost my Series 2 earlier.

    I debated for a while on if it’s worth getting a watch. I caught a good sale and even had a price match a week later for a better deal. So far I am enjoying this watch-more so for tracking mileage and health info. I don’t want to wear my heart monitor for working out all the time and this tracks things nicely. My only issue is battery life. I wear this to bed as well, so I need to find time to charge it. It says it’s about 18hrs battery life.

    This is a great buy if you're into this line of Apple products. I recently upgraded to the Series 5 after having a Series 2 for about 3 years. Best Buy was running a deal for $100 off at the time and I decided to finally upgrade. The most noticeable difference is a lower profile, which makes the watch appear more slim and up to date. I primarily use my watch to track activity and workouts. It's also super useful for responding to phone calls, texts, and other notifications. The only caveat about purchasing from Best Buy opposed to Apple is that you're limited in band options that come with the watch. You can always purchase an additional band which is what I chose to do. Overall though I highly recommend buying!

    I purchased this Apple Watch for my wife to replace her Fitbit that died. Part of the reason for going with the Apple Watch is Apple's pursuit of privacy. No company is perfect, but since Fitbit has been bought by Google, we felt that the opportunity for them to monetize data about peoples health was worth moving on to another company's device. Best Buy offered a very good sale on the Apple Watch (25% off - unheard of in the Apple universe!) and she has been quite happy with the watch. It will work with all types of workouts including yoga which is her interest. She can answer calls, texts, keep up with statistics re: her workouts and it also has many available apps. All in all, a nice looking and fun watch.

    Bought this for my wife as an upgrade over her version 3 watch. She was really excited to get it. However, she has noticed battery life isn't as good as her other watch. It could be the current OS on the watch causing some issues. The screen is larger so she likes that. The price for the watch wasn't too bad and looks great. If you find a deal on an older watch that might be the way to go if you don't need the small upgrades on this watch.

    I always wanted to get one so finally took the plunge. Very light weight, bands are easy to change. I have the smaller one and I love it. Only thing I wish for was that it had a longer battery charge.

    Bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas and she loves it. She especially loves how small it is since she has tiny wrists. She wishes the battery life would last more often, but it’s still pretty decent.

    The Apple Watch is very neat and has many functions. I had a gift card for part of the purchase and I’m glad it reduced the cost for me. I do not know if I’d say this is worth $400. If you want a device for activity tracking Fitbit does a great job but if you want a device that does tracking and most of what a phone can do, this watch is great. I just don’t use it enough to say it’s worth $400 plus taxes/protection.

    I bought this as a gift for my wife when it was $50 off. She owns an iPhone and she has taken fitness seriously for last few months. This is a perfect product to keep a track of activities and calories burnt during workouts. I own Samsung Galaxy Gear S3, and I have to say Apple watch is the only Apple product worth every penny!!! So far the best overall digital watch in the market (serious fitness freaks should look out for Garmins). The only downside is battery life, you will have to charge it daily. The best part is few weeks later it dropped another $50, since it was in return period Bestbuy price matched and refunded the delta!!! Super happy with the purchase.

    Great Birthday Present for My Wife

    My wife informed me that she wanted a smartwatch for her birthday, so I started looking around and, from various reviews and knowledge of friends with them, I chose the Apple Watch Series 5. I opted to not get it with the cell phone option, since my wife has her IPhone with her most of the time anyway. She's still learning the ins and outs of the Apple Way of doing things, but she's quite happy with it, likes the looks, though isn't crazy about the relatively short battery life. In short, she's OK with being nagged about walking, breathing, sleeping and otherwise carrying around the cares of the world on her wrist most hours of the day.

    Pretty easy to use, but I'm still learning all that it can do. Having my cell phone ring on my wrist is great, I can hear it now. I just wish it would last longer than a day or two charged.

    This is probably my favorite smart watch I have had to date. I previously had a Series 1 and thought the switch from 38mm to 40mm wouldn't be that noticeable but it is. 40mm is a good size. I really like it. There are so many features compared to older model. This one is even water resistant/proof (up to 50m and not high speed water I think) and has a feature that causes it to vibrate so water can be "pushed" out of the smaller holes and slits in the watch. The "always-on" display is really nice. Overall I am really glad I upgraded from the Series 1 38mm o the Series 5 40mm. I did also get it on sale!!! Huge motivator as to why I jumped at it.

    I will admit for the price I paid I should have this watch attached to my wrist daily but I don’t. It’s an awesome, easy to use and operate item and the app is simple to use. The watch tracks everything so u never go without info which is my main reason for purchasing it. Also phone calls are awesome quality. The number 1 bonus I love it that it is upgradable it’s not like the 3 series where what u see is what you ultimately get. I just wanna add it does ask would I recommend to a friend but a month after I purchased mine I purchased another one for my friend so that we can compare are data and keep in touch using the walkie feature.

    Got this as a replacement for a previous 38mm Apple Watch. Was a little worried about the increased size but wearing it the size isn’t noticeable and I like the new features.

    I went from a Fitbit to an Apple Watch and love it. The biggest drawback is the charge status - need to charge on a daily basis. Otherwise, love it in every way!!

    I have been contemplating buying an Apple Watch for a while now, and finally bought one since there was such a good sale on it. I love it so far, and I'm glad I opted to get the Series 5 because of all the extra features compared to prior models. I haven't tested the full capability of the water resistance, but it still works fine after having gotten it pretty wet while washing hands/dishes. The sport band is also comfortable and easy to wipe clean. The activity tracking is nice and definitely motivates me to move more throughout the day (something much needed while being stuck inside during the pandemic).

    Easy Access to Texts & Info

    I purchased this iWatch Series 5 for safely features (it alerts emergency if you fall and just a press of a button calls 911 - also has a heart monitor!). But I have found it extremely convenient to see & access texts & incoming calls vs digging through my purse or backpack for my phone. If you don't get a separate cell line for it you must keep it within 50 feet of your phone. So my only problem with it was that I had an iPhone 7 and it drained the phone battery within 5-6 hours. I upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro and have no battery problems. Apple never provides instruction booklets but information is readily found on Google as to use.
