    What was I waiting for in purchasing this watch? Coming from Fitbit nation where they last for about one year then you have to replace them. I love the features - answering calls, music, sleep, heart, email, alarms, calendar, maps, banking, timer, stopwatch, and the list goes on........

    Being quarantined messed up my fitness routine. I purchased the watch to remind me to move and get my fitness back on track. I’m also into meditation, and I like the “Breath” reminder. It tracks my steps, I can answer my phone calls, and receive my text messages. Great buy with a purpose.

    I like this Apple Watch. Love all the functions. I previously wore a Fitbit for 5 years. Gave it 4 stars because I wish the battery would last a little longer.

    Apple Watch series 5 is very easy to set up and use, the walky talky feature is more clear for communication purposes than my series 1 was. I use the watch mainly for tracking my workouts which it does a great job of much easier to see the face on runs now with the always on face. Highly recommend!

    This is my second Apple Watch (had a Gen 1) and this one does not disappoint. A couple features the I use the most are the timer and Messages. I didn’t get cellular with this watch and I have noticed that the range from my phone to the watch is better with this one. Glad that I bought this.

    Purchased for my mom on mother's day. Features like heart rate, ekg, and fall detection were the main reasons why this is a really good watch. There's really nothing like this from other competitors. Battery life isn't the greatest but the responsiveness and features make up for the rest!

    If you're already an Apple Watch user this is a no brainer. Same great quality and ease of use that Apple is know for. The Apple Watch line is simply the best smart watch(s) available and it's not even close. Great batter life, easy to pair and use, awesome color options and I love the Activity app!

    This a a very nice quality made watch with many beneficial features. Connectivity and operation with iPhone is very smooth, use of apps, checking email, text messages, phone calls, health tracking, and so on. Best Buy matched competitive pricing - made this an even better value.

    I bought this for my wife. I like that the face stays on dim mode when not in use, then lights up when arm is raised to view the watch. The fact that it has so many different watch faces and options to select from is also amazing. Too many features to name about this watch. A must buy.

    My wife has wanted an Apple Watch series 5 for some time because of its ability to detect falls and possible heart irregularities. This came with a good price and a nice bundle, with the ability to buy Apple Care on their site. The product was delivered as promised and she loves the watch.

    This was my first Apple Watch and I absolutely love it. I was missing many calls throughout the day and this has helped minimize that problem. Obviously a little expensive and I certainly don’t utilize all the functions. If your going to buy it make sure you do, otherwise don’t waste the money.

    Instead of entering my health related data into several apps- it is all in one place now ...and at 79 there is a lot of info about health to gather. It also helps manage the treatment regimens for my health issues in one place. All I was hoping for ...plus more I never imagined.

    I bought this apple watch for the ECG feature but I'm finding it way more useful than I ever thought I would! Now I never miss a phone call or text! Also the ECG has already caught an arrhythmia! The only downside is the band, it's not very comfortable and my wrist is between sizes.

    The Apple Watch is great. This is my second one - both purchased from Best Buy. During this unusual time of pandemic I wanted to support the local Best Buy store. So glad I did. The staff was well prepared to serve the customer, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you Best Buy!

    Love this watch. I have no time to check emails all day at work, and we aren’t supposed to have our phones visible, so this is perfect. I have all work emails, personal reminders, calls, and texts notifications, so I miss nothing anymore. And knowing the time and date helps to ;)
