I purchased this watch to keep track of my workouts and am not disappointed. I have the cell service so I don’t need my phone at all. This has replaced my phone for most of the day. It is super easy to setup/use. It is a little expensive so I definitely splurged on myself but I have zero regrets!!!!

I bought this open box and it came in perfect condition. The set up and transfer from my series 3 to the series 5 was very easy. I’m in love with the aesthetic of this watch and since I skipped out on the series 4 I do want to note how beautiful the ring is without the big red dot on the side and the always on display. I’m so happy with the purchase I made. If you have a series 3 or older I’d consider upgrading but a series 4 wouldn’t be a big upgrade to the series 5.

Upgraded for gift. Liked the overall additions to the Series 5. (GPS Cellular, additional Heart Rate, Compass, Elevation, and more). Added the screen protector to avoid cracks and/or scratches. However the item the salesperson suggested really does not seal 100%. A little disappointed in that. The battery life is not as great as reports indicated. Definitely needs to go on charger every night. Volume on watch for calls is not as loud as thought.

Not much to say, I had the series 4 and the series 5 is a minor improvement over it. The always-on screen was worth the upgrade for me though, it’s what the Apple Watch has been missing for me and it’s finally here! If you don’t care about the always-on display I would steer you towards the 4 because the battery life does suffer with it turned on.

I just received an apple series 3 (gps only) as a gift last March. I am not a watch person (or a health buff) at least not anymore because of my chosen field of work. But trying the gift, and the fitness program at work, I find it useful. I started walking, cardio and core exercises and I liked the lifestyle it created for me. So I decided to give my series 3 to my sister and bought this with cellular this time. I no longer have to bring my phone anymore when walking or running or for any fitness activity. Less baggage the better.

Purchased this for work. I have an IPhone 10R for work and this pairs nice with It. It is convenient not having to pull out your phone for every text or email. This is the cell version, however it isn’t hooked up at this point. Very comfortable to wear. Overall it seems to be a nice addition to the phone. I use the water minder app and activity app everyday. I spend several hrs at a time in my office and it reminds me to stand and walk. It’s been a month and everything is working as it should. Battery life is somewhere around 12 hrs a day.
I put the watch on at 5AM and wear until 9PM and haven’t seen the watch battery below 28%. The always on screen is turned off. Just raising the watch it comes on and that works fine. The screen faces are pretty cool to. 44mm version is just the right size. I did install the Zagg screen protection and it was easy to install and make very little difference in screen touch sensitivity. Overall I am happy with the watch. Yes it tells time!

I caved in and finally bought myself an Apple iWatch Series 5. I own a few Apple products but just have never been into the iWatch but for some reason I was always looking at getting one. I considered getting the series 4 but held off until I bought this gem. I turned off apps that I don't use including the always -ondisplay.The battery considerably lasts longer before the next charge, mine lasted 72 hours from the day I got it. The battery life also depends on how often you utilize apps and make calls or send text messages from your iwatch for the convenience of it.
I bought the GPS + Cellular at a price I matched with another site for the same exact item etc. So far, it's living up to my high standards and have not found any cons yet.

I’ve been wearing my watch daily since Christmas. Never had anything like it ! I have the GPS and cellular. Sound quality on phone calls is amazing. Easy set up and sinking to iPhone 10 max . Works great with my beats headphones. The health apps and tracking have been motivating to go a further each week. I wear it at work bathing and grooming dogs and have never had a bit of trouble but I got the Apple care for peace of mind ! Won’t live without it again . I think I’ve bought over a dozen new bands and love the ease of changing them .

Product is great my reason for a 4 star is because battery life isn’t the best, I feel Like the 4th generation lasted longer I have To charge my watch daily and before it would last me 2 days

This is a great product that my best friend bought for me for Christmas! It works just like Apple phone with the apps transferred to the watch. Con- the charging adapter not included but pro if you already own an adapter. I would recommend this instead of getting series6 because it works just like it. 6 only has a couple new features to it. Great for workouts, mediations, etc... Fitness+ is great for those who can’t attend the gym and for personal reasons. Get a screen protector and case for longevity.

I started with the Series 3 Apple Watch. —/gave it to my day when the Series 4 came out.
Now I have the Series 5. My daughter has the Series 4 and my husband the Series 3.
These watches are worth the investment. They are durable
With the Series 5 and can leave my phone in the house and exercise, take text messages and talk on the watch phone without hauling my phone with me.
All I was hoping for and more.

Got it as a Father’s Day gift. I’m a local truck driver and when I get out to deliver I would leave my phone in the truck and would have to call my wife or whoever back because the Bluetooth would disconnect. Now I just connect to my watch and it all works out. Quick run to the store and leave your phone and the wife needs something else, it works for that as well!

I didn’t feel I needed an Apple Watch. I already have every other Apple gadget imaginable. But what I found is It’s incredibly useful and doesn’t distract me from being present like say my iPhone does. A quick glance and a flick or tap to respond and I’m done. No more interrupting what I’m doing while digging for a phone. The limitless watch faces and ease of changing bands is a huge plus too. I couldn’t be happier.
