    Now I don't have to look at my phone

    The watch is a solid piece of engineering, battery lasts about two days. There are more features than I can use, but my favorite part of the watch is that every notification that I used to check on my phone comes to my watch with a gentle vibration, and I can quickly look and get back to what I was doing. Other people think I'm less distracted so there's that. I like the workouts feature. This is a purchase I'm happy with.

    I was scared by getting an apple watch I would be wasting my money. I found great use out of the watch. It’s convenient for answering calls or texting back when I have my phone charging. Also great for tracking daily goals and tracking workouts.

    I had the series 3 apple watch and getting the series 5 watch was a great upgrade! I specifically love the watch because it helps me keep track of my exercising (i.e. how many miles I've ran, walked, etc.). Other than that, it is a great way to tell time, send quick messages, follow the gps and all the other great features. I highly recommend it, especially if you're trying to keep track of your activity level.

    The only product I’ve ever given a perfect review score to is the Apple Watch. The 2018 Series 4 Apple Watch, to be exact, as it was not just Apple’s best product of the year, but also the best smartwatch you could buy. For 2019, Apple has subtly updated the Watch to the Series 5, bringing with it a handful of new features yet still retaining the same design. It’s barely worth being called the Series 5, as it’s more like a Series 4S.

    As far as wearable technology, this is the best I’ve used. It works seamlessly with all my other Apple products. What I appreciate about it is that it knows when you’re currently on a device and doesn’t burden you with additional notifications. If you charge it at night everyday there shouldn’t be any fear of running out of battery. This is a great product if you love tech watches and own apple products.

    I will open this by saying I am a special type of breed. I know way more than the average person about computers, mobile tech, audio, video, etc. I also stay very up to date with my toys and am not afraid to spend (Elite+ member) but that being said I tend to steer away from the negative aspects of tech. Social networking is not very social when it is preferred over talking to the person next to you and all that. Not salty just realistic. I took this watch and wearable tech at large as just another distraction and not very useful. I was wrong. My wife wanted one and she figured it would br nice to do a his/hers thing so we grabbed a pair. I do not like wearing watches.............. never have. I have gotten to the point where I actually prefer having this on and that is saying a LOT!!! The wife was sold on the health/fitness features of this watch while I was more into the tech stuff. I can control my music using the watch as a remote. I have shazam with me at any point I hear a tune I want but don't know. I can find my phone which I temporarily misplace all the time. I use it for Apple pay and oh yeah it tells time too LOL. This paried with my Apple Airpods have honestly changed my daily flow for the better. Still don't have intstagram, Tik-Tok or snapchat as these are in fact distractions (considerind FB does what they do and more) but I have been proved wrong here. Only downside is the cost yet I paid MUCH more for my Tag Huer. Thing is though my Tag will

    Excellent smart watch, many new useful features. I’m not a huge fan of the watch band, but many Apple and aftermarket bands are available. Upgraded from an earlier iWatch version that has worked without problem in order to pair with new phone, as the two devices sync with each other. Taking phone calls on the watch works surprisingly well. I recommend this product if you have an Apple iPhone.

    My husband loves watches and is sort of a collector and so I questioned him wanting this as he likes to changes watches according to what he is wearing. However, I bought it for Christmas anyway thinking if he didn't like it we could return it. He loves it and since getting this watch all the other ones do is collect dust. He hasn't worn anything but his Apple Watch since Christmas morning of 2019.

    I just love this watch. This is my second apple watch, and my old one was handed down to my wife, who put a girl band on it. What I love most about this watch , is the fall detection . Not that I need it now , but maybe sometime down the road. I excise 5 days a week on my Peloton bike and play music for working out . Combine with my apple phone , and my wireless apple ear buds, I think I"am set.

    Works great! Battery life is better than expected. The hardware is well designed. My only criticisms are nit picking: though well designed, overall the software could still be easier to set up and use. I’d also like to see more functional, stand-alone apps (Spotify, Pandora, iMessage, etc.) that are more than just a glorified remote control for an iPhone app. A camera for FaceTime would be nice.

    This is my first watch and so far I love it. Battery life is good lasts more than a day. Always on Display is good. I accidentally hit corners but didn’t get any scratches yet so screen glass looks good.

    The watch is great, but I purchased a screen cover and bumper for it. I had to return to the store 4 times within the first 3-4 days because of air bubbles under the screen cover. Finally it was removed and a new cover and bumper applied. All is well now, but it was extremely aggravating to have to make so many trips to the store, especially these days when trying to avoid people.
