    Before having an Apple Watch, I paired my Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 to my iPhone and enjoyed it for the past three years. Unfortunately, the iPhone and Watch stopped communicating, and I began to take a second look at the Apple Watch. After playing with it at BestBuy and thinking about what I would be able to do with it versus my previous S2, I was sold. For the past month I am pleased with the battery life, the clarity of conversations on it as a Bluetooth device, the notifications, the picture taking using the watch as a camera, as well as using the watch as a remote for either my music or my AppleTV. My biggest complaint is not being able to listen to music on my watch unless it is connected to another Bluetooth device. It would be great if I could have my music come from my watch like the S2. However, this is not a huge complaint as I usually have the phone in my pocket and can control the music from my watch.

    I had the series 4 prior but started having battery issues after the iOS update. This watch however is still running smoothly, and it’s extremely nice that I don’t have to do a big gesture when I raise my wrist see the time, as the always on display is a nice addition.

    Always been a samsung phone and watch person. Well I recently bought new Iphone11 Pro Max and decided to purchase a watch. I really like the look and feel of the watch. I can go almost 2 days without charging. I used it when I work out. Still learning about it.

    This is the 4th Apple Watch I’ve owned; I started with the Series 0, then the 3, 4 and now the 5. I would have stuck with the 4, but I had the 40mm and wanted to make the jump to the 44mm. The series 5 was on sale for $100 off so I could not pass it up. This watch is no surprise- Apple makes quality products and as someone who’s owned an android watch too, the Apple Watch is definitely far superior to any other smart watch. The always on display on the series 5 is cool, but I really don’t care about that. Everything about this watch is GREAT! I saw absolutely no need to wait for the series 6 as this one has everything I need and want and the fitness tracking on Apple Watch is superb! I also have no regrets moving up to the bigger watch. If you’re between sizes, I’d definitely recommend going up- bigger screen, easier to view, and the size is just perfect!

    The watch is great, easy to use, manage and use apps, integrate with iPhone, and easy to see. Battery life is good as well. And yes, expensive. Purchased a different wrist band because putting the wrist band on and getting a comfortable fit was difficult.

    First ever Apple Watch owned. Looks and feels amazing on your wrist. However it is so easy to get scratched in the sides. There are cases you could buy but I feel like the point is to show it off as it is. Not too bothered by it though but might annoy people that pay attention to detail. Screen is big and bright. Battery life lasts all day even up to 2 days with screen always on and without charging. Charges fast. Overall great product.

    Awesome Apple Watch 5 44mm!

    I am really amazed and happy with this Apple Watch series 5 44mm. Previous I had purchased a refurbished Apple Watch series 4 40mm and I was really happy with it, but to my opinion the screen seemed a little small and also wasn’t totally satisfied with the option that I had to raise and turn my wrist to make the screen turn on. However when I saw that the new Watch 5 had the display on option I was convinced that I needed to upgrade and so I did. I’m so happy that I purchased this Apple Watch 5 44mm, not just because it’s 4mm bigger than my previous watch 40mm but also because the display on option, and the best of all is that it only cost me $40 dollars more than what I had paid for that refurbished Apple Watch 4, which I was still able to return and I did. I can’t be much happier with this new Apple Watch series 5 44mm.

    Bought this watch for my husband who was not sure he wanted one. Now that he has it he loves it and uses it everyday. He especially likes all the health and workout items you can track as well as emails, phone calls and text messages. Great watch!!!!!!!

    The Apple Watch is great! I purchased one for myself and my wife and we both love that we can view our notifications, workout info, map directions, and texts all from a glance at our wrists. The new always on face feature brings the smart watch closer to feeling like a normal watch since the face is always visible showing time and other customizable info. Any person looking to free their hand from always holding your iPhone but never missing a beat will be happy with their purchase. P.S. The gold aluminum case shows as more so of a rose gold color. I still like it after changing the pink band, but wish this was better explained in advertising & packaging.

    I was skeptical after seeing people complaining about battery life. I work 12 hour shifts and it lasts me from 5am until I go to bed around 10/1030. I honestly don’t have a single complaint. Well worth the upgrade from the series 3 which is what I did.

    I didn't really think I would care for this watch, but I love it. Wear it all the time. Love being able to look down and see text messages without getting on my phone. Also, love the fact that I can track my steps and exercise daily.

    I Bought it as a gift for my boyfriend. He has never had an apple watch before but has had about 5 different generation of the iphones and of course all the apple music players from when he was in high school. in other words he is team apple, so this review might be more bias. But he seems to love it. and has had no complaints. he really never takes it off not even to sleep. which is impressive in my opinion. he says his battery last roughly two days after he changed the original settings from it staying on all the time to only turning on when he turns his wrist towards him. he says its nice because it turns on effortlessly easy when he flicks his wrist to face him, unlike a few older series apple watch users who complain about how hard they have to turn their hands to theirs face to get it to turn on.

    I was doubtful if the watch would live up to my expectations. I was proven wrong about of easy and convenient it would be to have your phone on your wrist. Great purchase. The battery life is exceptional and I even sleep with it on.

    I've stuck with Series 1 for 3 1/2 years, and I was still relatively happy with it. It had begun to lag and wasn't keeping up, but still did what I needed it to, for the most part. To my surprise, my incredible wife had me pick out a new Apple Watch for Christmas. I knew the Series 5 would be quite an improvement over Series 1....but Wow. The size, quickness, sharpness, etc. is awesome. With the larger screen, the amount of information that's available at a glance is unbelievable. If not for the always-on display, I would've opted for the Series 4. But that display is something that's been needed for a long, long time. And, surprisingly, battery life hasn't suffered noticeably. I always charged overnight and, after a full day's use, I'm still around 35% when I go to charge. So far, so good. As always, another outstanding Apple product.

    I bought the watch because of the health monitoring features. I considered other products but decided on buying one that did everything. So far I've been very pleased. It's lighter weight than I first thought it would be and easy to use.

    I have been an Apple Watch user for years and this is by far the best Apple Watch I have owned. The always on display really makes a great difference and is a great feature. Really happy with my purchase. It is a little expensive but it is worth it.

    I bought this for my mother because she has heart problems. It tells her her heart rate and even if she’s in a fib. This has been very helpful knowing if her heart rate is getting to high etc. she’s 70 and she finds it very easy to use!

    Had a Samsung phone for years with Samsung Series 3 Frontier smart watch. Last year I went to the iPhone (don’t ask) and kept the watch. Watch doesn’t work very well with the iPhone and started losing time do to the the iPhone/ Samsung compatibility issues. Bought the series 5 Apple Watch for myself and wife and couldn’t be happier. The watch doesn’t look as good as my series 3 Samsung but the features and the accuracy of this watch is fantastic. My wife and I are both very happy with the purchase. It tells you everything even when you’re being lazy. If you skip a workout it will guilt you into going back in and doing it before the day is over. Wife and I compete against each other and it makes it fun. All and all the watch is expensive but so far it’s been worth th the price. Love the watch and you probably will too.

    I have been through a few watches and this one is my best. Apple Watch gives a plenty of features to fulfill your work. For instance, you can continuously monitor your health data and many more there. Fire most it’s beautiful.
