    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!

    This is a great product even it being a GPS Model series 5 it fills the bill on the price and the quality of the device. It would be perfect if it gets paired with the latest iPhone 11, Pro, Pro Max. But for those that have heart issues its a good non-medical advice device that you can share with medical professionals to have an idea on your heart condition. The device does offer many other options that can be helpful in day to day living added features makes something that you normally needed to reach for the iPhone that you can do just from your wrist. This a “GOOD PRODUCT” approved.

    I was a little hesitant as I thought the watch would be gimmicky and redundant from the phone. It is really convenient being able to look at all your notifications on your wrist rather than having to pull your phone out of your pocket every time. Plus, the workout app and ability to calculate your daily activity is great. The heart rate monitor and ECG app are an even better way to monitor your health. I would recommend this watch to anyone thinking about purchasing one. Plus, if you wait for a sale, you can get one for a great price.

    I'm a watch snob and usually wear my mechanical watches on a daily basis. I finally decided to get an Apple Watch and see what the hype was about. I am very glad I did. I went with the Apple Watch 5th gen because I wanted to have the screen on all the time. I also love how light it is. I would recommend getting Apple Care with one of these. I have not needed it yet, but with the fact that the screen is NOT sapphire crystal it will scratch. So getting a screen protector is a must. Also I got mine on sale. Best Buy tends to run their sales Sunday to Sunday, so if you can wait time it so you can shave $100 off the price of the watch.

    Great Open Box value, great watch.

    I was debating between the Apple Watch SE, the 6 and the 5. I ended up getting this Apple Watch Series 5 Open box at a good price. It did have minor scratches, but overall it was a good deal and I know it will take a beating with my workouts, working on the car, etc. All features "work", but not that accurate. The compass may be off by 30 deg in a car. The heart beat works at random while running, regardless of tightness, position, etc. My old Series 7000 was very accurate on the heart beat, it had two LEDs, this one has only one. The Always was the reason I did not get the SE, but I found it kind of annoying on this one, so I turned it off. The EKG is more accurate than the heart beat and I use that for BPM. A friend bough the Series 6 for the Oxigen reader, but it is not accurate, so I skipped the Series 6. Overall, I am very happy with the watch and Best Buy.

    really dig my 5, i had a 3 and lasted 2.5 years, still works but i had an accident at work and broke the front face. I like how big the 5 is and so so much quicker than 3. Got it when it was on sale for 100 less the selling price so couldnt say no to that

    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.

    We bought a series 5 and a series 6 watch at Christmas. In comparing the two watches, it is clear that both watches are excellent. The Series 5 is a bit thicker, a bit heavier, and doesn't seem to have (in our experience) quite as much battery capacity (although it makes it all day with no problem). The series 5 watch does everything the 6 will do with the one exception of the blood oxygen measurement. It will do heart rate and ECG. So, all in all, if money is an issue, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Series 5. It remains a great buy.

    If you don’t have an Apple Watch, it’s time. The Apple Watch is the ultimate wearable electronic to go along with your iPhone. I love the fact that this version has an EKG. I upgraded from the series 3 and I am very happy. It’s also nice to be able to screen texts and phone calls on my wrist. I like I can set the face up to show me current temperature and local information. I chose an open box item because it’s a little cheaper and looked and feels brand new.

    I bought myself this as a birthday gift because what I saw on other people and it’s functions. My only issue is it doesn’t work with my iPhone 6 Plus, the minimum is iPhone 6s, so I was going to return it but instead I’m keeping it because I bought it at a great price and wait until the iPhone 12 comes out since I was gonna upgrade anyway I just have to wait a few more months.

    I held on from buying this watch; I always had a Fitbit. Once purchased, I realized what I had missed for so long. It was night and day. I love the fluidity with all other Apple products. Best Buy had it for a great price, and under the circumstances surrounding Covid, they made the pickup worry-free. A great experience all around.

    Was searching around for fathers gift ideas and came across the Apple Watch. My dad loves new tech and he recently converted from android to iPhone. I always find the best deals at Best Buy! Got this series 5 Apple Watch $100 cheaper than Apple sells it. The contactless pickup is so simple and efficient. Thank you Bestbuy

    I initially tried a stainless steel apple watch. But, realized after a week, I really only enjoyed the health apps. That I didn't really care about the text messages/phone calls. So I couldn't see paying $699 for a watch for its health apps. But could definitely justify $329 for the silver aluminum/GPS only. LOVE IT!!!
