    I can’t say much since I bought this as a gift for someone else, but what I do know is that they love it, especially for its function use. They track their steps, answer phone calls, reply texts, and so far they love it! I read a little bit about battery issues since this one has an all day display on, look into that I recommend before you buy it, otherwise you could just buy the series 4. Remember to price match guys, they price match for me and saved a little bit, something is something. Definitely buying myself one now!

    This cellular Apple watch is great! I can use it on the go without having my phone with me. Great when I go for runs without my phone.

    I just reciently switched to apple and was not impressed, like always. I have always loved android and always have EVERYTHING, COMPUTER, WATCH, PHONE, BUDS WHOLE ECO SYSTEM. I still 3 month later am not impressed with the phone but I am loving the watch. It only lasts a day which sucks on a 5th gen device but they have done everything better on this watch then the comp. great sound, smooth software, I bought a rugged outer case so not sure how the band works but watch itself is great.

    I love that I was able to purchase the Apple watch Series 5 w/GPS & CELLULAR. It is so classy looking, lightweight and easy to see. And what is "best" about it is I received $85 off of it because of my points/rewards I earned from previous purchases and now I earned points on this purchase as well! I cannot wait to see my sons face when he opens this gift! He will be so excited! I just hope I can wait that long. The staff were super nice, overall a wonderful experience in the Haun Road-Menifee store.

    Love the new watch. Specific upgrades, always on, decibel meter, improved battery, snazzy new widgets, (wind speed wahoo). Screen is very nice quality for such a small device. Animated faces entertain my niece, and Mini Mouse even says the time to help her learn to tell time on analog watches! Good watch. Not a MUST have device but a great peripheral for an Iphone. (Shutter control is nice) Heart rate monitor and drowning / fall sensor? Really? that is interesting too...

    I needed this in my life due to having seizures and I work on ladders etc, I use it for health reasons so if I had one it’ll send the paramedics to where I’m currently at so they can save my life in case of an emergency, good product all around, you can text call etc on it in gps mode if didn’t activate cellular which you’ll have to have your phone on you great to use while driving keeps you to avoid using your phone while driving great product.

    Great Smart Watch

    It’s a known fact that Apple has the best smart watches on the market right now and I completely agree. I love the Apple Watch series 5 but I did end up returning it due to my wife telling me I couldn’t spend so much money. I ended up settling on an on sale Series 4 Nike+ instead and love this watch. I would have liked the always on feature for clinical applications during school so I don’t have to physically gesture my watch to see the time but it’s nonetheless the best on the market

    Was hesitant thinking about how much I would use it but it’s proven to be very useful. Always moving around at work and it’s great to be able to easily see what’s happening around the office with it. As always it’s great how well Apple products work together. Controlling my AirPods with my watch is extremely easy and convenient. I’ve also read around that the battery life wasn’t too good but it works for me just fine. It has not died on me yet and charges fairly quickly.

    Needed a watch with cellular connection. Looked at all the options and decided to go apple. I really like the watch. The heartrate monitor seems to work better than my garmin (which would not find heartrate some times). The vibrate on the alarm is strong enough to wake me in the morning without waking up the wife. The only downside is the battery life. I have to charge before going to sleep. Garmin had over 1 week battery life.

    Upgraded from Series 3

    I recently upgraded from a Series 3 Apple Watch. I purchased the new one with cellular so it will call 911 in emergencies even if not connected to it's own cellular line. The display is noticeably larger, which makes it a bit easier to read. It works as expected, and though a luxury item to me, it's also high useful for making payments at the register, and with Apple maps driving directions. It also works great with AirPods so I can listen to music without my phone around.

    The watch is amazing. There are so many different features that are available to use on it and I am still learning. I like how easy it is to interchange the bands by simply sliding one out and sliding another one in. With the watch being used with cellular the battery does drain a little faster than normal but that's expected when carrying the additional load. I'm pleased with the purchase as this is the first time I've bought an Apple watch.

    Didn’t know much about the watch other than it sync with my phone. But once I started using it , knowing I can answer phone calls our text with out getting out my phone from my pocket while holding a bunch a things in my hands and its dictating my speech is amazing. Love that I can work out with music at the palm of my wrist with my wireless buds. It has a activity app like a Fitbit and so much more. Best gift I have received in a long time.

    A coworker got herself a new Apple Watch, since her old one got crashed. She got it three years ago. She gave the old/crashed and it worked fine. Unfortunately I lost it a few months after but it was already ground on me. I had to get one and I did it. I did buy the Apple Watch series 5 and I LOVE IT. I did not know how inactive I was and it helps me lots to keep track of my movement.

    I might be able to keep better stats and have ongoing pulse ox with a Garmin Forerunner 945, but having a cellular connection and leaving my phone at home during my run is so much more valuable to me. Also, the Apple Watch integrates better and easier with an iPhone and Training Peaks. So for me The Apple Watch 5 with cellular is awesome. I have a separate pulse oxymeter, anyway.
