Handy for not always needing my iPhone

The main benefit of an Apple Watch is not needing my iPhone in my hand all the time. Times like grocery shopping or at the gym, I actually find the watch easier to check things off a list or monitor text messages. I had the Series 3 and am very happy with the always-on screen. The battery life is still where there is room for improvement, because I charge it overnight and it's nearly dead by the time I'm heading to bed. It could also use a few more apps. Overall, I think the purchase is easily justifiable.

Was able to pick up this watch while there was a sales and got it for an extremely low price. Definitely an upgraded to my previous Apple Watch! The bronze colored gold looks amazing compared to the new gold on the S6.

Apple watch doesnt need any review. But still i am trying to provide my experience.
This is a tech which is very useful and a reliable from a reliable manufacturer. I wanted to have a smart watch which is easy to use, compatible and useful without any gimmicks.
this watch gives me notifications, shows my health, weather, fitness data and pushes me to close the ring along with very basic thing that every watch should do "show time".
I preferred watch series 5 stainless steel because of its always on display technology and less price because of the release of series 6. i did the same thing last year for my wife by buying series 4 Stainless steel model when the price was dropped after the release of series 5.

This watch is replacing an Apple Watch series 4 that was just over two years old when it went bad. Sad that the series 4 microphone quit so quickly. My original release version (series 0) lasted me through the series 4. Fortunately I got $300 off plus $100.00 trade in,
The software keeps getting worse. I had a move streak that was 279 days long ending on Jan 9th. My new move streak was reported at 45 days on Jan 21st. Unless there is some new math that I am not aware of 21 - 9 = 12. At least at that point it still had the longest streak at 279 days. Now with the latest "update" there is no reference to the 279 at all. That data is long gone.
I am scared to see what they "fix" with the next software "update".
When I discussed some of these issues with my son he informed me that most "Apple Watch" wearers look at the watch more as a status symbol rather than something that should actually work.
A side note. I was an automotive electronics development engineer for 30 years. In 80 percent of the cases where there where issues with the design it was software related far more than hardware related, granted my watch did have a hardware failure I could root cause it.
Apple needs to hire far better software developers. Yeah right.

This was bought for my father-in-law. I own the series 4 which has been great for 2 years and this series 5 has even more features and a bit more battery life.
If you are willing to spend more, I recommend going with the SS case over the aluminum watch. The SS comes with watch face glass that is extremely hard to accidentally scratch.
My first Apple Watch ever was a series 2 that was aluminum and the glass face scratched shortly after I started wearing it. I had to add those zagg watch screen protectors that would inevitably bubble up and catch stuff underneath it. Since then I have SS series 4 that I never put a face protector on and haven’t scratched it even when accidentally hitting/moving across a metal surface.

What can you say, the design and durability is second to none. I really can't stop staring and admiring the watch. I don't usually go for apple products but this one hits a home run.

This is my third Apple Watch series I had the 1, 2 and now I’m happy with the 5 it was 300$ off compared to the 6 I didn’t feel the o2 was worth 300$ but I kinda wish I did get it anyways the device is just as amazing as the others I love the new features from hand washing reminder for 20 seconds ekg after a work out all sorts of great things and unlocking my iPhone when wearing a mask…. Doesn’t work if I wear sunglasses and no mask but oh well. When I upgrade I gift my old watch to someone who is tempting to switch to apple to get them to come over to the great side of the phone wars.

Of all of the Apple Watches I've rocked over the years, this is definitely the best one. You can say that every year as Apple continues to provide updates that make us all contemplate upgrading, but truly, this particular model, cellular-connected in DLC stainless black is the best combination of convenience, features, durability, and style of all Apple Watches. No micro abrasions show up here, unlike the silver and gold stainless. No need for an iPhone to reach the world, unlike a GPS-only model. Fashion that fits from the jog to the office in ways that other fitness watches can only strive to achieve. You can't go wrong with this one; it's worth the investment.

Upgraded from the Series 3. Was a bit hesitant at first but glad I took the leap. Battery is great even with the always on feature. Love the look and weight of the stainless steel.

This is my first smart watch. I was really just looking for new heart monitor to count calories and my wife talked me into getting this. I like it I just kind of feelS like Apple is taking over our lives and there is no escape. It has a lot of features and apps that I rarely use.
I far as for what I bought it for it does good job. Better than my previous heart monitors. That said some times it takes a while to catch up. It also doesn’t register properly sometimes during high intensity exercise. Apple recommends a chest strap to help with that but a part of the reason I purchased this watch was to avoid that.
The watch itself looks really good. I have seen some really nice bands for it for which I have none but might get in the future. The watch also seems pretty sturdy. I don’t have a glass protector and it has not chipped yet. The battery life is pretty good. It can easily go a full day with one charge. I know that will change later on.
I can’t speak for other smart watches but this is a good one if your ok with Apple taking over everything.

This watch is the best I have ever owned with regard to display quality, the best battery life, haptic feedback, and overall built quality.
Apple products are known for their quality, reliability and comfortable use.

I replaced my iWatch 3 with the 5 and so far I am satisfied with it. I am not going to go over all of the features, everyone seems to have the thing that draws them the most. For me, I enjoy the always on feature, it makes it easier to track my exercise activities without stopping what I am in the middle of to get the screen to display. Also, I like the Space Black. If you look at the previous model watch bands all of the hardware is black, not Space Gray like the watch.

Purchased this for my son at Christmas, this is the 2nd Apple Watch we have purchased for him as the first one the half of the display only works. This was the original Apple Watch so it lasted a very long time and still looks like new. If you are thinking of buying a Apple Watch go for stainless steel version as they are much tough

I like this Apple Watch Series 5 Bluetooth + Cellular Stainless. Got it for a great price when on sale. I answer calls from my watch and don’t have to have my iPhone with me. One thing I miss is the multiple day battery life. The battery only lasts for one day and have to charge it everyday. But I knew this when I bought it so I was prepared for it.
