    Awesome watch. Easy to use and set up. And I love the EKG feature. It accurately detected my nephews A-Fib. Watch face is easy to scratch, you have to buy a separate bumper cover for it to protect it. Otherwise, I love it and I don’t wear watches.

    I am an Apple nut and early adopter. My daughter and I purchased the first generation of the Apple watch. I had been watching each new generation come out and continued to be interested in upgrading. Finally did . . . love it and the new features.

    I have purchased a good amount of different smart watches since they have come out. The Apple Watches seem to just nail it with every version. Plus, I purchased this 5th generation when is was on sale for $100 off, so the value was EXCELLENT for me

    I am not a triathlete by any stretch, but I do play tennis and do Pilates workouts regularly, and I wanted a good way to track my calories expended during those workouts. This watch does that and more. I only use a handful of the apps, so I can only speak to part of the capabilities. I compared with Garmin watches, and I was drawn to the syncing with the iPhone I already had. I have friends with Garmins, and they appear to provide some more granular data than my Apple Watch, but for my purposes the Apple is terrific. The standard activity app actually is very good, and I have started being mindful about standing regularly throughout the day. “Closing the rings” has become a thing for me — for better and worse. Overall, I like the watch a lot, and I have not yet missed any extra functionality provided by the cellular enabled version.

    This watch feels like buying a brand new version of your old car. Super fast and there's so many new features! I really like the ECG and I got 4 months of Apple Music, that I can listen and control straight from this watch. Happier than ever!

    My husband and I purchased our Apple Watches at the same time. We use them to track our daily walks and monitor our steps, minutes of exercise, and our heart rates. I like the design and functionality of this product.

    I have been a fan of Apple for quite a few years. I’ve owned the series 3 and now the series 5 and I can’t say enough great things about it. The battery life and processing speed just keep getting better and it’s incredibly lightweight.

    Love my Apple watch. Now that I can unlock my iPhone with my watch while wearing a mask, this has become invaluable to me. Keeps me motivated to exercise and I love the always on display. The battery lasts all day long.

    I absolutely love this Watch. I had the series 1 watch and it’s so much better a better display and everything. If you are looking for a watch to go with your iPhone this would be it. It’s a little bit on expensive side but it’s totally worth it.

    I’ve been wanting a watch for a while but was waiting for the price to drop. I ended up getting one and then the price dropped a week later. Best Buy was able to price match and give me the difference back. It was very easy! Definitely recommend!

    The new Apple Watch has exceeded my expectations especially in two areas. One is the quality of the aluminum case and the other is the ease of set up. I had this paired to my IPhone, A custom face selected, and settings picked all in under 15 minutes.

    I love this thing. It has been so good in getting me motivated to work out. I know that Garmin and other watches have better features, or more in depth tracking, however I also want to use this for other things as well. So if you are going for multifaceted use this is the way to go. My hands are busy at work, so its nice to glance down at an incoming text and not have to pull my phone out. I can also connect my earbuds, download music/podcasts and take off without my phone in tow and have a really nice streamlined workout. I was a big casio calculator watch for 10+ years and it was hard to give up, but with out convenient this is to have I don't think Ill ever go back.

    I had the Series 1 Apple Watch and then finally decided to get this one and I didn’t realize how much more the new watch could do. It has a ton of different features that are adaptable to everyone, also charges faster and has a longer battery life.

    The series 5 offers the best design and interface of any watch released by Apple to date. Since the watch is technically a little older, I recommend waiting to buy it on sale and not at full price. However it is still an incredible product.

    I had a series 2 Apple Watch for several years and loved it. This watch has some notable upgrades not the least of which is the slightly larger screen. I really like the responsiveness and battery life as well. I definitely recommend the upgrade!

    Bought this watch for my wife following her release for the hospital after 6 days with double pneumonia and breathing issues. This watch monitor her breathing and alarms her when she has shallow breathing.. and needs medication. Well worth the money!

    I bought this watch for my wife so she could be more hands-free. She uses her phone all the time, even for many simple things so the watch allows her to do many things without reaching out for the phone. it is also very good with tracking your health.

    I’ve been wanting to get a Apple Watch for sometime and I finally did it. This watch is great if your looking for a fitness tracker. Since I got it I am walking about 4-5 miles a day. Previously I was probably averaging 2. It gives you a wealth of information and statistics that really seem to help motivate you to get up and start moving. Also has other features such as the ability to answer and place phone calls, control your music streaming, And set a timer among many others. In short, it is a miniature computer that you wear on your wrist. You do need a IPhone for it to work correctly. I got the gps version which works fine but your phone must be kept in close proximity to it for the watch to keep track of all your activity. I am not crazy about the band, but eventually I will probably replace it with something else. Hope this helps.

    I already have a series 5

    I’m not the type of person to give something 5 stars just off of hype... i had the series 3... didn’t really like it. Maybe it’s because i didn’t have air pods or cellular service on the watch (at the time) Making a call from a watch is like the coolest thing to happen to gadgets since cell phones first came out IN MY OPINION Just like listening to music off of a watch. All this is new tech to me... so i find it really cool. I still use wired ear phones... i still think they serve a purpose at times. But having both wired and wireless is ideal. ECG/EKG - Phone calls, Texts, music, all types of cool tricks the watch can do. . . Just really cool stuff Ive had my other series 5 for about 2 months... so i can go ahead and drop a review. If i had one complaint... the battery life could be better. But 5 out of 5 from me. Awesome watch.
