    Great features and definitely something that gives me peace of mind. I don’t have to carry my phone while at work. I can see my text msgs and answer my phone right on my wrist. Great feature when you have an elderly parent.

    This watch does it all. You can use use it as a watch, phone, music, heart monitor, camera remote, exercise monitor etc. I like the bigger face as it makes it easier to use some of the functions. This was a perfect gift.

    This gift was a surprise to my boyfriend who works construction and can’t always reach into his pocket to get his phone out, he now simply gets calls and texts on his watch with a simple glance at his wrist.

    This Series 5 Apple Watch is a great upgrade from a Series 3. I particularly like the always on feature and the SOS fall feature as I ride my bicycle alone a lot. It also allows me to ride without having to take my iPhone along.

    The Slightly bigger screen makes a huge difference. Although the screen is only 2mm larger than the 42mm series 3, it looks better and there are many more faces and complications available. The stay awake feature is great!

    Great watch and better than a series 4. Display and features are way better. Only drawback is the battery life. As advertised by Apple, this Apple Watch has about 6 to 10 hours less battery life after one full charge.

    Definitely the best smart watch for work and play out there. I've tried different Fitbit models but the Fitbits just don't gel as well with my iPhone and doesn't have the number of apps. I love that I can leave my cell phone behind and still take calls, stream music and podcasts. It would be nice if I could select which podcasts I want to sync and do it over the watch's cellular connection but maybe the series 6. It is worth the money.

    Best gift (to myself) EVER

    I’ve purposely delayed my review for my watch to actually see how much I liked it. Well...I have to say and have said to many people that this is the best gift I have ever bought myself! I absolutely love it! I use it all of the time. I love the fact that I no longer have to carry my phone with me while I run. My music apps are all on the watch and I have cell phone service through the watch for a sense of security while away from my phone. I also love the fitness app because of the stand, exercise and move updates. It constantly is getting me up and getting me active! The different watch faces are fun and I love all of the other features of this watch!

    Android Couldn't Hang with iOS

    Caveat: I switched from android OS to iOS a few years back. I went through several android wear and Samsung gear watches, even during owning iPhones. They looked nice, but didn't last very long and were laggy. After my 5th android watch crapped out on me, I decided to try the Apple Watch. Granted it doesn't look as sleek as some of the android watches, but I'm more of utilitarian type guy at the end of the day. Positive: - battery lasts all day, even with LTE & WiFi activated - Isn't laggy like the android watches that I have to restart frequently - it pretty light weight - It has an array of health functions Con: - It doesn't look as nice or "regular" as some of the android watches

    I love the weight, look and feel of the watch. The activity app is as useful as it is elaborate, but I question the accuracy of calories burned, especially during my workouts. I’m not thrilled about the battery life, but, given all it can do at once, it’s understandable, and it does recharge quickly. This is the first watch I’ve worn in years. I can’t say for sure if I’ll get another one, but I’m enjoying this one, so far.

    I upgraded from a fitbit and love this watch. You can swim with it, the heart rate tracker is very accurate and the functionality of this watch is all very seamless and user friendly. The ONLY complaint I have is the battery life on this watch is extremely short - it needs to be charged every day and it takes 45min to an hr to charge fully. I miss the battery life of my fitbit but thats all I miss from the fitbit.

    I upgraded from the Series 3 to the series 5. The user interface is much faster and more fluid than the series 3 that seems to like to bog down and wasn't as fast. The cellular connectivity works great and the signal is a little better than the series 3 as well. I like the always on screen and from my experience unlike some others doesn't seem to degrade battery life too much. If you already have a series 4 I wouldn't go out and upgrade to this one as its very similar with a few minor upgrades such as the always one feature. The screens and chips in them are pretty much the same. But if you are coming from a series 3, I think this one is a nice upgrade and worth it.
