    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.

    unfortunately Apple enjoys making your old device stop working as soon as the new one comes out but I guess it was worth it. I can do so much more on this than I could with my third series. The voice messaging still needs some work, as I am a very clear speaker, but that’s not a deal breaker.

    Totally lives up to all the hype! I’ve never been a watch wearer but now I can’t imagine leaving home without it! In fact - I’d rather leave home without my phone than without my watch. It allows me to not have to physically keep my phone in my pocket all day, which is so nice!

    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 didn’t realize how convenient it was going to be to have your phone on your wrist. Now I don’t have to pull out my phone every time I get a call, message or updates. I absolutely love this watch!

    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.

    The fall detection is a wonderful feature for older adults who may need assistance, but don’t want to wear a clunky necklace or wristband.

    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.

    I've been an Apple watch owner for some time now. Honestly, the only reason I went to the 5 is because I LOVE that the screen is always on. Makes is so much more convenient.
