    If you think you're not moving enough and worried about your activity levels, this watch is excellent! I use the activity and workout apps regularly and I've noticed an improvement in my habits. I also love being able to quickly answer calls, texts, and other messages. Keeping up with my emails is also so much faster now. I don't have to open the app to delete unnecessary ones, and can quickly be on top of my inbox.

    Thought I’d made a mistake in this purchase. $400 for a watch? Really? But turns out, it’s a super buy. 1) awesome help at Best Buy! Friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to teach this ole dog some new tricks! Had a heart attack last year and was recently diagnosed with Type 1 DM. My watch is like having a babysitter. Reminds me of meds, monitors my heart rate and keeps me from carrying my phone when I’m being active.

    I purchased this watch for my son for Christmas. It is an upgrade from the Series 1, and both my wife and I have a Series 5 and Series 6 Apple Watch. My wife loves her Apple Watch Series 5. The features are a big upgrade from the Series 1, and it's extremely fast. We especially love the ECG App, all the other great features that come with this watch. I would highly recommend to a friend.

    I bought this phone too bring me peace of mind. I can monitor my heartbeat and a very accurate EKG. If I should have a hard fall, the phone can contact emergency services. It’s almost like having my own private medical team with me at all times - does “peace of mind” sound good to you.

    The Apple Watch is a big step up from more simple devices like the Fitbit charge. The flexibility enabled by selectable watch faces including many variations with “complications” is very handy. There are many videos on YouTube to cover the features and uses of the watch, so I recommend that you take time to watch a few. The current limitations are in available apps. They tend to be in a few basic groups including fitness, sleep tracking and music player control. I do think that the heart monitor and a fib detection a really quite valuable. As you would expect of an Apple product the watch is super easy to set up and use basic functions. I am using a fairly complex watch face to display calendar, alternate time zone, text message, and email along with heart rate monitor. The flexible dock also enable easy access to other favorite apps.

    Bought this as a Christmas gift for wife . She always used a polar ft7 for training. She has completely replaced it with this watch. Has all the features she needs/wants and she loves everything she can do with messages and calls . Bought her the 40mm size which is perfect for her 5'6 small frame and the pink gives her the girly feel. I'm an android guy, but I know if I make her happy, she'll make me happy....

    I had heard complaints about battery life but I haven’t run in to any problems. Lasts all day long with about 20% battery at the end of the (long) day when I go to put it on the charger. Keeps great track of my runs with the accurate GPS and makes a great companion to my iPhone. I love using the ECG feature after a workout to check my heart health. Actually looks like a watch on your wrist and not a black rectangle!

    I had an Apple Watch before. It was the 3 and I liked it very much. The only downfall was I upgraded my phone so my watch started to glitch and wouldn’t connect to my phone. So in typical apple fashion I was in need of an updated watch. But I enjoy it. It took me a minute to get used to the size as they don’t make the 38mm in the 5. But no more problems and I’m back to enjoying my watch again.

    The watch this watch! Great display options for clock. It helps motivate me to move, stand and exercise. You can share your workouts with family and friends which is fun. I also enjoy that you can see your txts and incoming phone calls. Being a woman I don't always have pockets so being able to calls coming in has been helpful. Also the price Best Buy offered was by far the best deal!

    I needed a watch after trying my hardest to get my last repaired. When I brought the old one into repair, a Best Buy employee suggested that I buy a new one since it’s equivalent to the repair for the damage on the old one. I did it and it was the best purchase this year! It’s easy to use, more accurate than the other series when used for running, and it is just the right size for me!

    I’ve had this watch for 2 years and it works perfectly amazing. I don’t need the extra stuff. I only bought this to track my fitness and notifications so I don’t have to constantly look at my phone when I’m at work or the gym. I can pick up calls if I’m near my phone and text through the watch as well. Great investment!

    Purchased this for my wife for Mother's Day. It takes some time getting used to, particularly if you don't ordinarily wear watches. Take time to go through the Watch app on your iPhone and learn how to customize the faces, home screen, etc. Some faces allow you to install multiple "quick view" informational data, including wind, weather temp, noise/dB level, heart rate, next appt, etc. I recommend purchasing a watch protector, there are third party sellers out there that also aftermarket bands and protectors, it won't cost an arm and a leg. If you are active and have extra discretionary money to burn, get the Cellular version and activate it with your carrier, so you can leave you phone at home when you go jogging (and NEED/WANT CELLULAR DATA -- PHONE CALLS, MESSAGING, ETC.). Otherwise, the GPS version will suffice. For clarity, if you have a GPS model and left your phone at home when you go for a jog/walk, your phone can still track your cardio, record your exercise, etc., you just won't be able to receive phone calls, stream non-local content, etc.
