    This watch is amazing. You can take phone calls on it and talk to people. It counts your steps daily. You can play simple games on it! It has a great camera and so many uses. When I fell, it said out loud, "Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?" I highly recommend this watch. I purchased it Feb. 19 2020.

    Had series 2 and upgraded this fall to 5. Decided not to go with cellular because of the extra expense and I probably would not have used it.First thing I like vs series 2 was the edge to edge display and slightly larger had a 42 but did not feel bulky. The battery seem to be about the same for me I charge nightly though

    So far this watch has been good. It makes some things convenient like the navigation alerting me when my turns are coming up. Battery has been lasting me 3 days so far.

    I love my apple products! The watch is so easy to use. I have loved my apple phone for a long time, and the new addition was an easy transition. The health apps are very handy and easy to use. As a 69 yr old it is very important for me to keep track of my health and exercise habits.

    Since purchasing the 5 I've upgraded to the 7. The & provides a larger screen and better battery life both of which I substantial improvements. Unless you need to save some money , I'd recommend spending the extra for the Series 7.

    I had the Apple Watch 3 38mm and upgraded to this one and I absolutely love how much bigger the screen is and how much flatter on my wrist it is compared to the older models. The color is beautiful. The only downside I have is the band gets stained with darker clothing. I’ve tried cleaning it but it stayed.

    I was reluctant to switch from my Fitbit, but I'm totally sold on my new Apple watch!! I love the fitness / activity features, the reminders to move, breathe, etc. Also, although I don't use the phone feature, I love being able to see incoming calls and being able to decide if I need to grab my phone.

    I’ve had an Apple Watch series 1 for three years. I got it when they discontinued them at Best to make room for the series 2. Upgrading from that to this watch was beyond amazing! I love all of what it does. And I didn’t think at first I would like the 44 mm face because I had a 38 before but I love it now.

    Faster then Apple Watch 2

    Compared to my Apple Watch 2, the 5 is much faster and I love the large display and customizable faces (many more options). The battery life is about the same as the 2 - I have a black watch face and brightness at lowest level, lasts about 24 hours between charging. Added bonus is the heart monitor.

    I absolutely love this watch. I should have purchased this sooner. If you have an iPhone, do not get any other watch or FitBit. This watch does everything and more. I am so glad I got the series 5. I did not think I would use all of the features, but I do. So, go ahead and get the Series 5.

    I've held off on getting the Apple Watch for a long time. I still can't really justify the price, but I truly love the watch. It's very functional and fashionable. I love being able to change the watch face to suit the occasion and the activity tracker definitely helps motivate me to exercise more.

    I upgraded from a series 3 apple watch. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, the apple watch is a great way check messages/music/notifications without waking your phone screen. The always on display adds a major cool factor.

    Upgraded from the 2 to the 5 and the changes are so incredibly noticeable. The waterproof feature on the 5 makes it perfect for swimming, wearing while on the water, or anything else you may need. And the speed that it runs compared to the 2 is amazing. Would strongly recommend this product for any techie.

    This is the best watch I have ever owned. It has very good health items, such as a reminder to stand periodically. Very worthwhile since I do quite a few online meetings every day. Getting used to the icons did not take long so that is not an issue. I would definitely recommend this watch.

    I hadn’t been planning on upgrading my Apple Watch until the series 6 comes out later this year, but I couldn’t resist the $100 off sale here at Best Buy! It’s still a great buy and the new features like the always-on display are a nice upgrade. Highly recommend if you’re an Apple enthusiast like I am!

    This watch has everything you could want. Not only does it have the time of day but it shows my messages without me having to take out my phone every 2 minutes. I can ask Siri questions without taking out my phone. It is so nice not to have to have your phone come out of your pocket or purse all of the time.

    Have been using for several weeks and like the changes with Apple Watch Series 5. Walked right into Best Buy on release day and made my purchase. The new features are helpful, battery life is good and the new watch faces do a great job in taking full advantage of the larger watch face. No concerns; very happy.

    I’m just getting started on the Apple Watch journey so really can’t give you much. But, from what I’ve seen, researched & experienced, I’m on the cusp of something extraordinary…especially for a boomer! I’m predicting that by this time next year I’ll be featured in Men’s Health in a “before & after” piece!

    I really like this watch! If your and Apple lover like myself than this is definitely for you! I had an older Apple Watch and it was nice also but was more bulky and got caught on everything, this one has a little bit larger face and is much thinner! Love that have more customizability with this one!
