    My wife and I have been using Fitbits for years now and we finally got her an Apple Watch to try out. She loves it, I want one for myself now, all around just an awesome product and functions seamlessly with other iOS and macOS devices.

    I bought this for my wife along with her new iPhone. She had been an android user. She loves both the iPhone and the watch. She loves that she can change the face graphics and the bands. Happy wife, happy life.

    I had an Apple Watch before and it died within 3 hours so I didn’t want to get one. Then I saw how nice this looked and caved. Once I got it, I love it!! Lasts more than 24 hours, I love the stay on screen and it fits really well.

    The only thing I don’t like is that the battery is constantly working harder because the screen stays on, whether it’s on full mode or dark mode. The battery doesn’t last longer than one day. I also have the series 3, series 3 last me about 2 days + before I have to charge. Other than that, it’s good. No other complaints.

    Bought for my granddaughter for Christmas. She had it set up in a very short period of time, she’s pretty tech savvy. Love the extras that she gets with the watch ie if she falls or hot into an accident, the phone contacts you. Very helpful.

    Fairly easy to use. This is my daily wear watch. Love the fitness tracker and the ECG features. Spending time setting up all the fitness tracking features is worthwhile. Loved the AQI displayed on home screen during the wildfires. Nice to share fitness goals with relatives for motivation. The phone calls aren't great quality on it, but the text alerts are good. Probably need a model with a larger screen if you need reading glasses like I do.

    I love the new watch. I had an original Apple Watch and this new one is so worth the investment. The store didn’t have my model in stock but i was able to order in and have it shipped to my house the next day. The store clerk was super helpful.

    I recently purchased this for my wife who is not able to take her phone out everytime she gets a notification. This has helped her be more available if I need to get ahold of her she gets the notification on her phone instead.

    I purchased this for my birthday and I love all the features. I used to have a Fitbit Blaze and decided to upgrade to the Apple Watch. I did get a bumper case because I tend to bump on things. This watch is definitely worth the splurge.

    After 4 weeks won’t hold a charge

    Super fun. I admit I bought it because I get to talk into my watch like Dick Tracy. Tracking exercise and talk to text have been great. I’ve had it one month and it already doesn’t hold a charge for 24 hours. It’s locked me out twice. Sometimes the screen is just grey and I have to shut it off and turn it back on. I’ve reset it twice. Seeing the Geek Squad Thursday.

    This is the Apple watch 5 which has some notable upgrades from the 4. I bought it as a gift to my wife and she really loves it. The smaller size was her preference and it replaced her FitBit Alta, which was becoming evermore unreliable.

    But according to the lie detector test. That was a lie. She loves it and raves about it to her friends. She didn’t think it was going to be that useful from checking her messages to tracking her workouts. I actually want one now.

    Had the original watch and the battery was garbage so it took me awhile to come back to Apple Watch. I must say this one is great. The constant on face is great and the battery life was surprisingly good. GPS built in is nice.

    This is a great watch, especially if you exercise or want to be motivated to exercise because it sends alerts to encourage you to move. I like how the time is always displaced on the series 5 watch and just overall great investment.

    Wife’s love it over the series 3 which replaced her serious 1 a few years ago. Really worth it for the slightly better battery and the Bluetooth seems to reach further if you are no using it as a standalone device.

    This watch has been as expected. It was a little difficult to set up for me because there aren't detailed instructions on how to set all that you want to have visible on it. Once I figured it out it was good. the sport band gets a little warm at times so I am thinking of switching to a different band. Nice to get the notices of calls coming in as I don't always have my phone volume on when at work. Good battery life and for me can go almost 2 days if I forget to charge it up each day.

    The best watch I have ever owned. Couldn’t live without it. So easy and convenient to use. Multifunction. I get my E-mail, text messages and phone calls on it plus a multitude of other functions. I highly recommend it

    I can't believe I lived this long without an Apple Watch - a perfect item to have during quarantine to keep myself on track for my activity goals, and much more! The curb side pickup experience was quick and easy at Best Buy also!
