This is an Apple Product I didn’t ever think I wanted or needed but got it for the Health features like fall detection & heart monitoring. After getting it I have to say I love it, got the one with the cellular plan so I can use it anywhere when I even leave my cellphone at home. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks but so far it has worked great. Mostly got it for the fall detection feature so everything else it does is a bonus. Calls are great on it, the people I’m talking to can’t even tell I’m on a watch talking to them. I love my Apple products, always high quality no matter what device I have purchased.

I've had the Apple Watch since it came out, and it has never disappointed me. I leave my cell phone at home when I run or workout but still can listen to my music, whether I stream it or downloaded it to my watch. The cellular version is a must!
I paired it with an Amazon purchased screen protector and Spigen bumper case.

The bigger screen and better range is wonderful. I had the series 3 and it cracked on a drop of a dime. Better screen on the series 5.

I’ve had my watch for a couple weeks now and I love it . Did some research and they said battery life was bad. I have not noticed that . But I don’t get 200 calls a day . It’s a little pricey , and wished it was cheaper, I like that it is constantly checking my heart rate and graphing it . On my health app it also shows me a average on my oxygen saturation. Wish that apple would turn this feature on with a app. I have COPD and this would be helpful !! It also will notify someone if you fall . The breath app helps me with my pulmonary rehab. Again this is a great watch or tool which ever you decide to use it for !! Definitely buy AppleCare just in case!! Also definitely buy a screen protector cause within 3days I scratch the protector pretty good then I got the tempered glass one . Good Luck and enjoy the watch

Normally I’m an early adopter, the Apple Watch I thought was stupid, just another cash cow for apple so I didn’t buy one. My friend gave me his old series 2 GPS only saying you’ll want a cellular+GPS one in no time. He was right. I got this one a few weeks later. Is it necessary? No but it’s super convenient using Apple Pay and checking messages without going into your pocket. Plus it’s great when I take my dog on walks I can still be connected and receive calls and texts while leaving my phone at home. On a side note it has also guilted me into exercising more when it says I’ve been sitting around too long haha.

I lost my series 4 watch for longer than I actually had it and I missed it so much that by the time I wanted another, it was close to September that I'd wait and see what they would do with the Apple watch. And it was worth the wait! Honestly, I can't tell much of a difference from the 4 to 5 but I went from the 40mm to 44mm and that was the best decision. The screen is so much more clearer, everything is easier to use/press, and it definitely looks better on me. So glad that I decided to get back into the Apple Watch!

Being I guy that’s seriously into technology and in times past hating all things Apple. This year as I reviewed Samsung’s new S 20 Ultra I found it not worthy of me retiring my S9 Plus. After having issues I decided I’d give apple another shot so I switched To IPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch 5 and all I can say is I may be an iPhone fan and definitely a fan of the watch. I’ll give it a few more months

This is my third Apple Watch. I’ve never experienced any technical issues with them. I just wanted to upgrade from the current watch that I had. I love the way it looks. I can read the display clearly and it is fashionable. I also like the fact that it can unlock my desktop computer when I’m working and I can make purchases with my Apple Pay.

It was a major ordeal to get the watch set up because of an unresolved issue with AT&T. This was NOT a Best Buy problem and the sales person who assisted me was a total pro.
AT&T called me days after the watch was purchased, quickly resolved the issue, and admitted it was their issue, not the issue of Apple or Best Buy,

Great watch to have! I love the fact that I don’t need my iPhone to be with me to still receive messages, notifications, and phone callls. Also, it stores 32gb of data. Very easy to store your music playlist. It’s convenient to have will working out or jogging, because u don’t need to have your phone with you

My Series2 Apple Watch screen cracked after having that for 3 years. This one has the cellular and GPS. I never treat myself, so it was time for a change. So happy with this purchase. Highly recommend to others. :)

I received the watch on the first day it was available. I picked it up at the store and was in and out pretty quickly. The watch is very nice and I like the ability to just look at the time. The larger face size makes it easy to see and use all of the other features.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my new Apple Watch. It can do everything my iPone can do. The activity and health functions have really come in handy. Don’t know why I waited this long to get one.

This was my first apple watch and I love it. It was easy to pair with my iPhone x max. I have left my phone at home and was still able to communicate with family and friends. I haven't tried to pair my airpods with it as of yet, But I will.

Once again left handed people are being sent to the back of the line and told to do the opposite of right people!!! I thought Apple would have taken left handed people into consideration. To my knowledge there is no left handed Apple Watch! I have to wear my Watch upside down!!!! Shame on Apple, please forward this review to Apple.. I'd be be happy to speak with them....
