A great Apple Watch for the money

For $300, this was an awesome deal. I had purchased one off of Amazon just a few days prior, and when I received that one, it had some major display defects. I returned it shortly thereafter, and decided to order the same price deal Apple Watch from BestBuy. The quality of the products as well as the speed of delivery that BestBuy has is insanely outmatched IMO. Note, the major functional difference between the Series 4 and the Series 5 is that the Series 5 now has the "Always on" display function. Watch battery life is still amazing even with that added change. I would recommend the watch with the $300 tag price, and I would 100% recommend BestBuy's products for this and ANY future electronics items. BestBuy product quality and customer service is on point!

I bought this watch mainly for the fitness and activity capabilities and seamless integration with the iPhone Health app. This device has been the single biggest motivating factor in keeping a regular fitness routine. The activity progress, stand goal, active calorie counter, step counter, heart rate monitor, and GPS enabled workouts are all fantastic. And getting rewarded with virtual awards, goals and achievements makes me want to continue to break my personal records week after week.

This watch has been excellent. I am going over 2 yrs now without any system failures. It pairs very well with my iphone SE 2 nd Gen. I have gone through a couple wristbands. But the best and most comfortable ones have always been the Apple brand bands. The watch has also helped me in any excersize data measurements that I hadn’t measured before, very cool. It has been very easy to use once I was acclimated to the system. One thing I regret is that I did not get a Zagg Shield placed on the watch face. My Gen Z nephew said do not bother. Duh! I should have followed my own advice. I have accidentally got a few scratches on the watch face. I have had Zagg Shield placed on all my other products and products of my family. I have learned my lesson. I bought it with a discount through a research project Heart Line over 2 yrs ago. The Project which is still going on is to collect all kinds of measurements, inputting educational answers, and current state of health integration to study Atrial Fibrillation ( AFib) It has been an excellent tool in conjunction with all the weekly tasks and measurements besides educational information by participating in this research project.
I do not have AFib, others do, one of the many things they are looking at is to see if there are precursors that may present prior to developing AFib.

I’d been wanting the Apple Watch for a while but I like to wait until products get a bit deeper in the upgrades. Cue the series 5 44mm (GPS). It’s got a multitude of functions and features that can make life easier on the go and keep you on your time management Ps and Qs. GPS works well for me since my phone is always near me for work. I showered with it to test the water proof abilities and yeah it’s about that life. Always on display is great and can be toggled on/off to save battery. Overall it’s fun and I can’t wait to master the full productivity features and activity tools of a beautiful well designed Apple product.

I owned a Series 3 watch for two years and loved it. When it accidentally broke I went in for the Series 5. I’m a swimmer so the ability to wear this watch for a lap swim workout or surfing session is awesome!
Not a huge fan of the band that comes with it - if you neglect to clean it with soap and warm water for even one day it can start getting funky. If you’re an athlete, I recommend grabbing a metal mesh band as a replacement. Software is easy to install and use. Battery life is definitely improved over previous series. Storage is more than adequate - I doubt I’ll ever fill it up.
All together, one of the better purchases I’ve made recently!

Well, I’ve never been one to follow the crowd, so I was never interested in purchasing a iWatch. Of course l had an iPhone. My husband gifted this watch for my birthday, and let me say, it’s totally amazing. It encourages me to work out more than ever. I am able to compete and track my close friends daily exercise goals. If you’re on the fence about purchasing an iWatch, don’t hesitate!

I love my Apple Watch Space Gray 44m 5 Series!!! I have always wanted an Apple Watch and now I have one!!!
I did not purchase the cellular option because I can still make calls if my phone is nearby. No need for the cellular if you don’t separate from you iPhone.
The space gray color is perfect. The Watch looks black and you can hardly see the space gray sides. Essentially, it looks like a black watch. The sports band comes with 2 sizes s and m/l. The band is a lot nicer than I expected. So many features on the watch and pairs in less than 5 secs with iPhone. I answer most of my calls on the watch. Greatest Apple product I have ever purchased!!!
Many tutorials on YouTube helped me greatly as a first time Apple Watch purchaser.

I been waiting for an innovated Apple Watch, finally we got the 5 who help me and my dad to realize his heart/blood pressure was so low. I was able to do a EKG which later we shows the docs at the ER. They were happy to hear Apple Watch 5 was worth the buy.
I just wish they had more features regarding health. I feel we are a bit far in that technology.

Love my iWatch 5 (gps only). The watch band that comes with it is mediocre and my watch fell off easily. Plan on spending extra for a decent band. I bought a standard leather band for $20 that is much better. Other than that, the watch is great. I love Tracking my exercise and being able to answer phone calls from my watch which is Bluetoothed to my iPhone.

I was going to get the series 4 at first, I am so glad I didn’t. I love the always on display and the new heart monitor feature! I also settled on the 44mm and it’s perfect for my thick wrist and big fingers! I am so happy with my purchase!

This is my first Apple Watch. To have it apart of the Apple Eco-System just makes life so much more simple and convenient. The ease of controlling my electronics around me or receiving calls and texts and being able to make them from my wrist with ease is amazing! Truly a great pice to add on with your IPhone and AirPods!

The perfect watch
I love this watch it has everything I need at a touch of a button right here on my wrist. I know a lot of Americans have the phone in there hand all day long but not me I’m one of those who leave it at my desk at work or in my purse and wind up missing important phone calls or text but not no more.

I love this watch but due to the paucity of instructions on attaching the wristband and getting it to stay on wrist, mine fell off in the driveway and the crystal broke in less than a week. I am SO sad. It still works but I have to be SO careful with all this Covid19 hand-washing to keep water out of it.

Easy on wrist access to lots of information when paired with my iPhone. Lots of customizable watch faces, Access to family pictures, weather conditions, all alerts that I normally receive on my iPhone. It also provides calendar event information, sunrise and sunset times, temperature range of the day and current temperature, make or accept calls without removing my iPhone from my pocket.
Great watch.

Don’t know why I waited to get a apple watch. Makes my life so much easier at work. I use to be on a ladder and have to pull out my larger phone out of my pocket to see who texted or called in case it was an emergency. Now I just glance at my watch and keep working

I cannot say enough good things about this watch. I wish the OS was a little better at sensing exercise start, similar to the Fitbit, but everything else is exceptional! My only other complaint is that eventually the watch band (pink silicone) that comes with it eventually discolored enough I felt I needed to purchase a new band because it looked bad. Where it rubbed against my dark denim it turned bluish, and the inside yellowish where there was skin contact. Inside may have just been my skin type, and I didn’t wear it right. As a smart watch this beats everything I’ve had hands down. Love that it has maps feedback!

Yes I love my Iwatch series 5 and I had a great buying experience through Best Buy I originally purchased one from Apple but Apple chose to Ship it from China and my order was delayed so I went that day and Best Buy had just what I wanted thank you Best Buy plus I got points for my purchase and I came back the next week and purchased another one for my wife
