My intent was to purchase a 6, but wanted the color combination the 5 offered. After comparing the two, realized there was very little difference and the price was much better. The 5 is great! I’m exercising more and have more movement flexibility without worrying about my phone.

I bought this after the Series 6 has been out for a while now. Upgrading from the Series 4, the Always On Display makes the watch feel so new; I have it on all the time, and I love being able to look at the time without having to swing my wrist. The battery life also seems to last very long; off the charger at around 9am at 100% charge down to 60%+ by around 8pm. It looks just the same as the Series 4, but the AOD makes it feel like a brand new toy.

I used to have the Apple watch 3 and loved it. This 5 is the perfect size and I love the additional features and especially how long the battery lasts and how quickly it charges up. I actually leave the display as "always on" and like that feature so that I don't have to completely twist my wrist to glance at anything and it doesn't use up any more battery that I've noticed.

I love this watch! I was on the fence for years on getting an Apple Watch. After owning the Apple 5 Watch for just 2 weeks, I am hooked! I am still learning the watch’s capabilities and exploring new Apps. It’s great tracking my activity goals, heart rate, stairs climbed, and miles walked. After sitting too long at my computer, I am reminded to stand and move. The watch syncs seamlessly with my phone. I have the GPS & cellular edition which gives me the advantage of not carrying the phone when I am running with the dog, or working in the yard. This is a great watch! I am very happy that I finally made this purchase.

Can't get through the day without it. Upgraded to stainless and leather bands and love the more professional look. Always on feature is good and battery life holds up.

I have tried a lot of different fitness tracker type watches! I loved them all, however, this is by far the best watch I have ever had! My husband purchased it for me! He new I had been looking at it for a long time, but I some specific specs that I wanted, that were a bit more expensive! He finally handed me the money he saved for me, and said, please go get the exact one you want! Pretty lucky!

Just another Apple Watch to upgrade to. Nothing special. Nothing to see here. Look up how Apple plays with your head to think you need a new watch. It's all psychological.

I upgraded from my series 2 iWatch to a series 5 stainless steel. I am very happy with my purchase and love that I now have the option to turn in cellular, but do not have to. I also like that it doesn’t have a big red dot showing it is cellular like the previous watches had. Overall I love my iWatch and use it everyday to not only track my steps, but also my workouts! I’d recommend it to anyone!!!

Best Buy has the wrong picture corresponding to this item.
It is a STAINLESS STEEL case NOT Aluminum (which is pictured). As one may already know, this is a great watch. For those of us that also look at the watch as a fashion accessory, the stainless steel version is so much nicer looking, esp with a stainless steel bracelet. This watch is far superior looking than the same aluminum model. if you can afford the upgraded price, it is an awesome looking and working watch.

Really wanted to love it. The sensor that tracks your heart rate is still not super accurate and it kind of stops during HIIT. It is an improvement from my series 3 but definitely not as good as I expected. Color and style are good though.

This is the watch that I bought for my wife. I have the exact same watch put in a 44 mm instead of a 40. I love the Apple Watch but durability is an issue if you’re working out on a regular basis and my watch scratched. That’s why I got the stainless steel one with the tougher glass. It has been perfect and since it was on sale, it was almost the same price as an aluminum new version

What else can I say other than Apple never disappoints me! Definitely worth paying a little extra for the stainless steel as I had the aluminum prior to this model and it dings and dents a bit if you’re clumsy like me.

I love it. I can’t compare to any other smart watches because I’ve never had a different kind. I’m satisfied with this product. The only issue I have is finding the band I like because they are no longer available.

I upgraded from the 3 and I am so happy I did! It’s much faster and looks way better than the black aluminum. Stainless steel will last much longer! Kind of spendy but worth the money.

Got it open box and still just as good in performance and quality. Just the packaging wasn’t perfect but not a problem for me. Series 5 is still a good Apple Watch.

Love this watch. It’s my second Apple Watch. Easy to use and very durable. I use it for everything from telling the time to monitoring my workouts... to checking the forecast. All at my finger tips.
