Bought this knowing my mother wanted one, and she fell in love with how easy it was to use. It being a hassle when she didn’t have her phone she could still see the calls/messages without it

I enjoy my Apple Watch very much. It has been super convenient having a lot of my phone’s features right at my disposal as I am always on the go. It is nice to be able to look at my wrist to read a text or check notifications from many other apps that I have. It offers some cool health features; I really enjoy the regular reminders to breathe and do certain activities to achieve health goals. It is pretty light and comfortable fitting with the sport band. I like that I have the option to change bands, screens/clock options and many of the other cool options the watch offers. Overall, a very great buy and would recommend to anyone in the market for a smart/Apple Watch.

The watch is really good for people who want to be reminded of wellness tips; for example, I work seated all day, so it reminds me to stand up, depending on the app, I'm reminded of drinking water, reminded of breathing, and it's very motivational. I'm a competitive person, so the fitness portion of it move/exercise/stand gets me pumped to do better every day.
Also, when I don't have access to the phone, I can call and text through it. If you don't have the phone on (sometimes my battery dies and I'm too busy to get up and put it on the charger), you can still use the watch to text and call using the facetime audio feature - however, of course, it will only work with those who have an Apple device as well. A lot of my texts have to go out in Portuguese, so I loved that there's a voice to text feature in Portuguese!
For family, the walkie-talkie is the cutest thing, and you can turn it off if you don't want someone to drop-in.
The one thing I would change is that the audio requires a Bluetooth headphone for it to work - the issue is, I wanted it to be a speaker almost (not something loud) so I could run and not have to use the headphones. I have to go running with the dog too, so I want to be aware of my surroundings, and the best way would have the music on speaker if possible.

My only regret with this watch is not waiting to purchase it when it was on sale for $100 off. But even here I don’t regret the purchase one bit as it gives me complete peace of mind with the onboard cell service and the fall down detection. Exercise tracking is great. The heart features are spot on, including the ECG. My cardiologist told me the ECG print outs are accurate. Amazing! If you own an IPhone then an Apple Watch is a must have. The cellular version lets you make and receive phone calls without your IPhone, that is the only distinction. The service will cost you an additional $10 a month on your cell bill.

This watch for a gift for an Apple Watch fanatic and she loves it, especially the bigger screen. The only minor complaint is the battery life, which of course Apple has issues with across the board. Unfortunately the watch needs to be charged every night yet other products like Fitbit and Polar need to be charged once or twice a week. Then again, in Apple Watch's defense, there are a ton of applications running on the watch so naturally battery life will be shortened. If you can deal with daily charging, you will love this product.

This Apple watch is great. I have never had one, but I can tell you that it is not a must have. Especially when it comes to working out and tracking everything, it has helped me stay on track with my workout goals and keeps me moving, it's like a little game. The Apple+ workout that comes with it great as well, and the best part, is if I want to go for a run, I can leave my phone behind and still have access to my music, calls and emails and text without having to carry my phone in my pocket or hand. Just wish I could leave my care keys behind as well, ha ha

The watch was amazing until I added the cellular to it. Then my text messages weren’t syncing correctly, wouldn’t come or would send doubles over ten minutes after receiving them.
Since this is a review of the watch and not the service company the watch is great. In my head I thought the watch would last longer than the new iPhone 11 pro max and the cellular watch would be great because I wouldn’t need the phone. Well the battery life on both devices are roughly the same. The watch does last about a day and a half depending on what I do on it (music, MapMyRun etc.). I still have to charge it daily because it wouldn’t last a full two days.

I tried both android and apple watches and ended up with the Apple series 5 LTE watch. The watch is dead on with notification and easy to use. Great for short trips to the store without my phone plus around the house I don’t have to have my phone strapped to me.

I am by no means any sort of techie. I bought this watch as a gift for someone who is has less technical aptitude along with a propensity to forget their phone. The watch is easy to set-up and while it has tons of features, there were key features that influenced. The voice to text and ability to receive phone calls with a wireless plan was the selling point for me. Added bonus is water resistance of the watch and fitness/health features that are surprisingly enough being used. Concern is scratching the face when working and moving about.

The always on display is great. It is dimmed when turned away from you and brightens when you turn your arm to look at it. You can also tap it to brighten. I use it for working out to determine my calories burned and heart rate, etc. There are tons of apps you can get. I can use it as a phone when I don’t have my iPhone on me as well as reply to texts. I get all my notifications. I just love it. There are so many positive things I could say. Oh, and you can alternate bands. This is a big thing for me since my old Garmin watch band pretty much rotted and I just couldn’t use it anymore.

I needed a new SmartWatch after my FitBit Blaze stopped working for the 6th time (FitBit replaced 5 of the six watches).
As a horse trainer I wanted a watch that can be worn when bathing horses, dunking my arms into water buckets, and riding outside in all weather. It has passed my tests so far.
Still need to see how it handles the heat (my Blaze would die quickly in the heat).
The coolest, Dick Tracy feature, is making and taking phone calls on this device. I am not THAT OLD, but to have a watch that is a cell phone is pretty cool.

This watch has been the best watch I've ever owned. I previously had a few WearOS Watches (Fossil Sport, Gen 4, Gen 5), and also Samsung watches (Galaxy Watch, Active 2). This beats them all - ease of setup for LTE (it was a nightmare with Samsung), and the availability of apps and fitness tracking. I wanted to find problems with Apple's watch...but I've yet been unable to. It just works, and it does a fantastic job tracking fitness and lessens reliance on my phone.

The apple watch is useful for me in a lot of situations whenever I cannot hold my phone. It shows me the confirmation codes and phone calls. I like it. The battery lasts one day which is not long enough but it is OK. The biggest "problem" is that the apple watch is too heavy. I wear it day and night and my hands feel uncomfortable. Partly because of the bump stuck to my wrest and partly for the heavyweight. Overall, I like it. Hopefully, the watch's weight can be less and the battery can last longer
