    I have owned each version of the Apple watch. I really like this one because I can always see the face. The trade off for that is that you really have to charge the watch each night. I used to get 2 - 3 days from my series 4 watch.

    First Apple Watch. Great product. Enjoy running with music with the running app in background. The sleep app -Auto Sleep has been very interesting. The cellular is nice, yet not 100% necessary. - (The watch always tries to work with your phone to function, then if phone not available will connect to available Wifi, then lastly will connect to Cellular network.)

    For years I haven't worn a watch, but decided to try this one because of it's health related applications. I haven't been disappointed. I think what has made this watch unbeatable is way it interphases with my iPhone, something that initially wasn't that important to me. Now I don't carry my phone around the house as much, and instead rely on my watch to take calls.

    This watch is literally everything you need. There is really not much difference at all from the Series 4, but I love it. I don't even need to have my phone close by to answer calls. The fitness tracking is a great motivator to keep active and I love the feature that can tell if you have fallen and it will automatically alert someone. Great feature! You will love this watch.

    Upgrade from an Apple Watch series 1 to series 5

    Purchased the Apple Watch Series 5 for my aunt. She previously had a series 1 and wanted to upgrade. I know she is loving it as she has purchased several watch bands from eBay to change out. Being able to track her steps and record workouts was a big selling point for her. The watch had a $200 off discount. Thank you Best Buy.

    Love the larger screen and new ECG readings. My wife couldn't wait to get hers. I have a Galaxy Watch with LTE and she had to get hers after seeing how well it works. Now she's not as tired too her phone for exercise and can still get her important calls and also monitor her vitals for exercise. She swears by Apple and this watch is an excellent upgrade to the series 3 Bluetooth.

    I upgraded from a 42 mm S3 GPS model and I absolutely love the upgrades in the S5. It's faster, the screen can be always on and not significantly kill the battery, and I love that I can leave my phone behind when on a walk or run and still have access to phone calls and messages as well as my music. Great device, and the color combo of the silver case and white band looks great.

    The person I gifted this to is completely in love with it and uses it everyday. I was a little skeptical at first because I have the same one and have had a little bit of an issue but it has worked perfectly. It’s also great for checking your heart rate and letting you know when you should take a minute to just breathe, especially during this pandemic

    This was an open box product so I got it for a steal. It was in Excellent condition! I upgraded from the 3. Which is still a nice watch but this watch is amazing. I love the always on feature. There’s literally nothing about this watch I don’t like. Another plus my watch bands for my 3 fit this watch also. Score!

    Love this watch! The only downside is that you have to charge it daily and you have to remember to charge it before you go to bed if you want to track your sleep. I switched from Fitbit ionic to Iwatch and I love it. If you exercise a lot o would still recommend the Fitbit. I also think the Apple Watch counts steps better than the Fitbit.

    I’ve never worn a watch before, never felt the need. But the Apple Watch is so useful that I love wearing it. It tracks movement, helps me respond quickly to text messages, controls the music on my phone/computer- it even reminds me to take some deep breaths and relax throughout the day. I was skeptical about it, but now that I have it I use it every day.

    I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he was so happy. He wears it everyday and utilizes the apps. Eg sleep watch and the exercise ones are his most used ones and I like the fact that it’s also like a life alert. So if he’s at work and he falls and no ones around there is security for us that 911 would be called if he’s unresponsive.

    My wife wanted me to start keeping track of health and kept pushing me get this watch. Once I started researching the health capabilities I was surprised. I have a scale, and blood pressure cuff that are connect and upload data to Apple Health app. Also, I find it really simple to manage notifications. Apart from that the always on face looks really good.

    Ever since the Apple watch was released, I had resisted the urge to buy one. I felt it was an extra device that really wouldn't accomplish anything more than my phone had provided. My wife recently purchased one for my birthday present. I have used it for a month so far. I now understand that it is a worth while companion device to my phone. I love the notifications and the ability to glance at them quickly without pulling my phone out. Navigation while driving is absolutely wonderful. The vibrations alerting you to upcoming turns has allowed me to keep my eyes on the road rather than a screen. I have the Apple music service(love it too!). I can control multiple Homepod devices and all of my Home devices from it. Once again, it has become a device I will always use from here on out.

    Had the first Apple watch and loved it, however it was very slow. This fixed those issues, the cellular is a welcome addition as it can pair with my ipods and allowes me to stream music while not having my phone. Tracking is better as well. I would recommend getting the Cellular version it is worth the extra cost for the added functionality it adds.

    It keeps my moving, tells me when to take a deep breath when I get upset. It’s nice to know how long I have been standing and moving around. I like how I can read my texts, see who’s calling, check my heart rate and so many more amazing things. I really enjoy my watch.
