    I’ve been using a Gen 2 watch for 3-1/2 years and it became indispensable. I recommend Apple watches to everyone that asks about them. The Gen 5 is a big leap forward as far as features go. I went with GPS and cellular this time, neither of which were available when I got my first Apple Watch. What can I say? Absolutely worth the extra money. The 44mm vs. the 40mm face is awesome. Streaming music from my watch and the ability to take phone calls away from my phone is a phenomenal convenience. Love it.

    I bought this watch after trying all the Fitbit products on the market. The Fitbit was ok but just never kept a charge and I was always having to carry my phone with my watch when I ran, which was ridiculously taxing. All I can say is that I wish I would have bought this watch sooner because now I can run and text and talk with just my watch and leave my bulky cell phone behind! It is a must buy!

    I upgraded to the 5 and added the cellular feature. I wanted the fall detection feature as well as the ECG element. Now I don’t have to have phone in my possession to use it completely.

    I came from the original apple watch to this version. Love the ability to go for a walk without the phone. The screen is great and the more complicated faces are great.

    Upgraded from the series 3 to the 5 w/ cellular It was well worth the upgrade. The watch moves much smoother than the 3 with a bigger face. The cellular is a plus when the phone is not nearby and also if I leave it in the car while letting it charge or out at job site for work.

    I like the fact that I can make phone calls and send texts while being away from my phone. I run a lot on the trails and hated having to carry my phone and this has solved that issue.

    I've only had my watch less than a week but so far I love it! I did get the cellular option as I don't like to have to carry my phone with when I exercise. Love all the apps and little updates you can get.

    This is a great watch. I use the walking and Health app all the time. Also very nice not having to carry a cell phone everywhere. Easily pairs to my ipods for great sound quality and music.
