    This is my first Apple Watch and I absolutely love it. It is easy to configure it to your liking, has many different face options to chose from. It keeps you aware of your health initiatives while it sinks with your phone to allow you to conveniently answer a call or text.

    Deliveries everything promised. I had to buy a different band to fit my fat wrist. Luckily many aftermarket options. Even after using it for a few months I’m not completely sold that I need it. However, when I choose to wear a watch it’s my first choice

    I upgraded from the first gen to this and the speed is much faster and the battery life is good. My first gen would last a while day but just barely. I have the feature to have the screen always on and by the end of the day I’m at 50% so almost twice as long battery life.

    The Apple Watch Series 5 with its all the time on display is a nice feature that I didn’t fully appreciate until I used it. Being able to glance down and see the screen without fully bringing it up to the wrist keeps you more in the moment and less looking distracted.

    I got this watch for my wife because her first gen Apple Watch She was using had started having a lot of issues, and she loved it. The bigger screen makes a nice difference, because it’s still an Apple Watch it was easy for her to set up and start using right away.

    Coming from Apple Watch Series 3 42mm to Series 5 44mm was a huge step up. While the size of the watch itself is not that much bigger, the amount of actual displayed content on the screen has largely increased. It’s faster and with even more onboard storage to hold songs.

    This was a gift to me and I wasn't sure if I needed one. After I received it and used it a few days, I love it. It keeps getting easier to use and I am not digging for my phone when working. I no longer miss important calls, texts or emails. Well worth the money.

    The series 5 Apple watch is a great upgrade to my Apple Watch series 3. Regarding software: The new watch faces are delightful. The EKG set up within seconds on the iPhone. Then the EKG is elegant and simple on the Watch 5. The EKG function is essential for my spouse with chronic Afib. I haven’t set up the fall detection function yet. This is #1 difference between series3 and series5 watch. I’ll set up once review completed. The watch face size makes a great difference in reading and typing on the watch. A great functional device that is so much more than an exercise monitor or step counter. I will buy this watch again if I break it in the washing machine as I did my series3. Pick up was simple and safe during COVID-19. Thank you Apple for making great products. And thank you, Best Buy, for all the great service over the years but especially during COVID-19.

    My first smart watch—almost life changing!

    I debated between the GPS or the Cellular model—settled for the GPS since I usually have my phone with me anyway. I am very pleased. I bought it mostly to help me monitor my running—it does all I wanted and more. First it syncs with my Under Armor “Map My Run” app smoothly. The series 5 has enough memory for me to record the playlists I like to listen to when running. The exercise “rings” are more motivating than I expected—sort of gimmicky—but again, it works. I watch my activities all day more now than in the past. I have not explored all the hundreds of apps available, but I have been completely pleased!—especially given the sale prices now. This has become my daily watch. Excellent!

    This Apple Watch 5 sure beats my ole 2. It is so fast and the screen is large and responsive. I love the battery life. Having a mini computer on your wrist is a must, especially in a job where you’re not supposed to use a cell phone!

    Very handy for keeping track of activity and monitoring heart rhythm. Especially useful for anyone like me who has Afib. Saves readings to iPhone which can then be used to email results to doctor. Also a quick reference for emails, messages and phone calls.

    Had an iWatch 3 that I accidentally dropped and so went and bought this version. Bigger face and great battery life. Ran all day without battery problem except one day when I somehow accidentally kept an app running all day. Really like the ECG function.

    Great multi functional watch. I purchased the watch to perform EKG,s and track my exercise workouts after I had a heart procedure. The watch also keeps me from having to grab my phone out of my pocket when receiving communications.

    This is a great product and the size of the screen makes a big difference compared to the smaller models. The ease of use and the many features make for an everyday use. This is definitely something that I won’t leave the house without, from now on.

    A nice upgrade from my series 2. I'm definitely enjoying the bigger watch face. Won't really need to upgrade again until the 7 or 8. Expensive though, like everything else Apple. They locked me up in their ecosystem so im stuck. Haha.

    I absolutely love this watch! I like the design and the new face designs. The only thing I don’t like is that the battery life doesn’t last as long as my previous, but it still last long enough and I like how it is constantly on. Great product in my opinion.

    I really like this watch. I use it daily. It’s helpful at work when I can’t take my phone out of my pocket, it’s Fairly waterproof, and it’s just convenient all around. Never used to like apple products until recently and they’re better than I thought.

    I got this as a graduation gift for my daughter. She loved all of the fitness features that came with the watch and setup/pairing was a snap. Best Buy ordering was easy and delivery was fast. Very satisfied with my purchase and with Best Buy.
