This one is for my wife but I have one like it. If you like apps that track movement for sports/work outs, this is a game changer. I love the look of this. You can use it as a phone if you add it to your phone plan. You can really get away with losing your smart phone now - you've got a very capable backup strapped to your wrist. Game apps aren't as playable on this but many are available. If you are into news, weather, stocks, running, phoning, texting - this does everything for you. That's just the tip of the ice berg. I love these things.

So many nice features in this watch. First the battery life is great it can run for about 2 days before it needs to be charged. The health apps are awsome the activity apps lets you know when its time to stand keeps track of how long you exercise and move around.You can take an EKG There are just too many features to list my recommendation is buy one for yourself you will not regret it!

Let me just start by saying I purchased this watch because I was about to turn 59 years old and wanted to drop 50 lbs. That is where the disappointment begins!! #1. I don’t get up in the morning until 10:00 am and if I was in my 20’s to early 50’s I would have taken the watch back because if I was exercising heavily as I did during my younger years the battery on this watch is completely inadequate!!!! I have to charge it 2 times a day!! That is ridiculous!! I walk in the evenings and during the summer only I swim about 1 or 2 hours a day AND it still has to be changed immediately after I finished my very short swimming activity!! If I got up at 6:00 am and exercised twice a day like most younger people this watch I would consider inadequate for a normal working day plus exercise!! I have only kept it because I sleep later and do not have a job and my ONLY purpose was to track my activities so I could lose weight!! At 59 it is ok but still has to be charged twice a day to get the full needs that I need for myself!! SORRY YOUNGER FOLKS but I would say that if I was as active now as I was from my early 20’s to later 40’s then it is inadequate for sure!!! The other MAJOR COMPLAINT is that EVERY TIME there is an update the watch it will NOT WORK UNTIL I CALL BOTH APPLE & AT&T and takes a couple of weeks to get the problem solved!! They have had to reimburse me multiple times in order to compensate for inadequate updates that have caused me not be able to use my device!! In addition, you CANNOT use this cellular watch without AirPods or it is useless to carry on a conversation with anyone so they have you “LOCKED IN “ to Apple products and that is sorry! The ONLY reason why I was pushed into Apple products is because the new car I purchased had Apple car play and was unaware until aft he fact SND I loved my Samsung Note but I had to get an IPhone to use the Apple car play!! So sad I had to abandon my WONDERFUL Samsung products to go down to Apple!!

I bought the cellular Apple Watch 5 for my beach & hiking trips & I’m loving it. The 40MM is just the right size.
The EKG & sleep functions are pretty cool. I wear it nightly to see how well I’m sleeping & the EKG allows me to keep an eye on how my heart is doing daily (can’t determine heart failure, clogs, etc.).
I also love the remote camera option. It’s great for taking pictures with family/friends & not using a selfie stick.
I’ll be keeping this watch for years to come.

This is the best watch I have ever had. It syncs with my iPhone but it works even when I’m not near my iPhone. I bought it for protection. It can detect if I fall down while away from my phone so I feel very connected with the world and it has made me feel safer. Best Buy set up the whole thing with AT&T and they were able to also set up the financing through them. I show everyone I know my beautiful Apple Watch and all the great features. Couldn’t be happier!

Bought this for my wife for our anniversary. She LOVES it! She has small wrists so opted for the smaller size screen and it fits her perfectly. She doesn’t even really take her phone out anymore as she just uses her watch! The ECG is amazing and keeping track of her sleep has been a game changer. May look into getting one for myself!

My Apple Watch is on, and I can leave the phone home. No more figuring out what pocket to put my phone in, no more dropping it! I just put on the watch and put in an ear bud, and away I go for the day. And no more having to wear a fitness watch-- this watch does it all-- measures my exercise, gives me healthy goals, even takes my heartbeat. A perfect little piece of technology. Love it!

It’s very easy to assemble and to program. The fit is great except the rubber Band makes your wrist a bit sweaty so if Your a sweaty person I suggest getting a different band or order a different type other wise it’s great I wanted it to keep track of my work outs so far it’s awesome new toy .

I have fairly small arms, but never liked the 38mm on my arm. This new 40mm size looks great!
The technology just keeps getting better, as do the choices for watch faces!
I bought the first release at midnight of the first night, and will keep buying! Apple is the BEST!
I do miss Steve Jobs!!

First time Apple Watch owner and I'm in love! It has great diversity, holds an amazing charge all day, put it on charge at bedtime, and it's ready to go the next day. It's also nice not to have to pull out my phone to return a text, just hit the speaker button, and talk away. The voice to text is quite accurate!

Didn't think I would use it as much as I do. Love the fact that I can leave my cell phone home and go out with just the watch and not miss a call. Extremely convenient ! Took a class at the Apple store to get some tips on settings etc....

Love the size and the all that it can do. Being able to jog and walk the dog without having to take my phone, but know I can answer a call or text from my wrist has been a real game changer!
I'm a sailor and the water-proof aspect was extremely important as well. I am a guy with pretty small wrists - I was concerned about the size of the face. After some consultation with friends who had the 38mm / 42mm (from previous models), I decided on the 40mm instead of the 44mm face. Really glad I did. The 40mm fits perfectly and I haven't had any issues with operating with the smaller face - haven't regretted the smaller choice once!
Highly Recommended

I’ve owned a series 2 and series 3 Apple Watch before this one. How ever this series 5 is where it’s at . Absolutely love the black on black look and the new shape. It also has better heart rate detection. Love that it is cellular as well.
