    It has so many features that are useful whether you're into fitness, health, efficiency, or organization. This is a must have and I have enjoyed the watch since the purchase. Last a long time on a single charge (as long as two days without having to charge).

    Finally upgraded from the first-gen iWatch. I decided to go with the aluminum version and don't regret not having the stainless steel option. Much lighter and I like the additional features the new watch has to offer. Love the bigger face watch and much easier to read.

    My series 2 was starting to lose battery life. I purchased the series 5. I’m so happy I did. The watch faces and complications are much more diverse. I had wanted to be able to have a face that I could add more than a couple of complications. Finally I have it.

    Comfortable, and trendy, and hopefully long lasting. Lol. Great fitness apps for tracking and Bluetooth connect with the downloaded music makes trail running a breeze! My wife still has her series 1 so I’m hoping this will stand the throngs of time as well!!

    I absolutely love this watch...I haven't activated the cellular data yet but most certainly will in the near future! I had my series 4 watch for about a year when I decided I might like the data feature so I gave my series 4 watch to my adult son who loves everything Apple!

    Although it is a technological breakthrough, it truly is not as necessary as one thinks. It’s a gadget that is entertaining. One more item that distracts. If it were not for the points that I used , I would not spend this type of money straight out on this.

    Great if you want don’t care about keeping your in

    I owned for a few weeks now. I wanted it as a fitness tracker with more abilities. If you don’t care about your fitness data, it is great! I have been having issues with my phone so they wiped my phone and restarted it without using the backup. Apparently this is a common fix for all things Apple. I am not impressed. After this reset, the only way the tech could get my phone to pair was to erase the watch. That means besides the hours I spent redownloading apps and getting logged into apps and reactivating my Apple Pay by calling my credit card company, I now need to also set up my watch. It was half way through the day and it reset my rings, my watch face needs to be recustomized, and I have to redownload my apps. It is supposedly a security measure that you will need to loose your progress anytime you get a new phone or have issues with your current phone. I am not sure I see the logic in that, but that is what the tech told me. Given the number of issues my phone has had since I purchased it, I am really regretting spending money on this watch versus a Fitbit or something that won’t need to be erased so frequently. I just don’t have that much extra time that I can afford to waste this much time on something that cost so much. For the price, it should just work.

    Love the larger view. More options with the face. I love how I can customize the face. I haven’t connected to cellular, but I do plan to do so. Battery life is much better, but I was using series 1 lol!

    This watch was purchased as an upgrade to my 40 mm Series 4 watch. It is also the 44 mm. The watch is very comfortable to wear and the fact that it is larger is not an issue. It is packed with so many health, fitness and safety features. Definitely worth the purchase!

    Good Watch / Fitness tracking is sub par

    I upgraded to the 5 because of claims that the fitness tracking had been improved to record activities during the normal course of a day without having to use an app, I am disappointed because it appears to be worse than the series 4. On an average day, I am exercising between 2 to 3 hours and the watch tells me I've done 3 minutes of exercise. I expected a better product from Apple given that there are more accurate trackers for way less than the Series 5. If you want accurate fitness stats buy another watch.

    I am so in love with my Apple Watch. I wear it all day and just love the fact that I don’t need to carry my phone around all the time anymore. It’s one of the best purchases I made in a long time. I would recommend this to anyone.

    The Apple watch is a great fit for exercising or any other outdoor activity. The watch keeps you in touch with everything happening and you can receive important phones calls. Great to walk with and listen to music. IT'S A GREAT FIT FOR EVERTHING I DO.

    My husband is still getting up to speed with his new technology, but so far he’s loving it! Especially all of the different watch faces that are easily changeable with just a swipe of the finger. This watch is lightweight and very easy to wear.

    This is my second Apple Watch. My first one a apple 4 fell and cracked the face in several places. It’s only around a $100.00 more to buy a new one than to replace the glass face. Be very very careful with the watches. The glass breaks very easy p
