Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone who had never owned an Apple Watch before, the Apple Watch Series 8 41mm has completely won me over. From its sleek design and brilliant display to its extensive functionality, this smartwatch has seamlessly integrated into my daily life. The 41mm size is perfect for my wrist, and the build quality feels exceptional. The always-on Retina display is stunning, offering vibrant colors and excellent clarity. It tracks my heart rate, sleep patterns, and daily activity, and syncs effortlessly with my iPhone for calls, messages, and music control. With accurate GPS, third-party apps, impressive battery life, and fast charging, the Apple Watch Series 8 has become my essential health and fitness companion. It's a game-changer that has exceeded my expectations and seamlessly integrated into my daily life.

I get a lot of use out of this watch. I purchased it a little over a year ago and it's still going strong. It's taken quite a beating since I wear it to work, but with a simple case it's completely without scratches. If I forget to place it on the charger daily, it makes it through about two days of casual use before needing to be charged. I mainly use it to track my sleep quality (which it does quite well as proven by a week of terrible sleep reflected in the charts) and as a notifier connected to my phone. The buzzing it does is easier to notice than my phone's and still discreet. I can also type out quick responses to texts when my phone isn't easily accessible. I have very small wrists, but it doesn't feel oversized on me, which I was originally fearful of. It likely gets caught on things more often for me than for others because of this, though. And of course, it also functions as a customizable timepiece.

This is probably the most useful watch to own when it comes to health related tracking. It can track everything from your heart rate, exercise, standing time, distance, and sleep. As nice as that sounds I honestly barely use those functions. I imagine knowing this information probably help if I worried about my health personally, but what sold me on this watch is the other features. Here are a few I personally found incredibly useful. 1. If you are a apple household and own several products and like me tend to lose them thru out the house, for example your iPhone. There is a nifty button on your touch screen that lets you buzz your phone and make it play a loud sound till you find it. 2. Lets me track my wife and kids when they wander away and leave me all alone in target. I can either use my watch like a walkie-talkie and look like a weirdo spy in the store asking for help. Or I can see them on Find My iPhone (wife). (Requires setting up the family options)(Kinds creepy stalker option) 3. I know when someone text messages me without looking at my phone. I can use siri to reply back by talking into my watch. Or ignore them like I usually do. . . 4. I can pick out custom faces for my watch so I can use analog and impress absolutely no one. Or set it to digital military time and do math. Or best yet, pick one that shows me the weather which is really useful to understand why you are sweating in really bad places today and should probably find AC fast. 5. The band that it comes with absolutely sucks but for about 1/3 of the price of the watch you can go to apple and choose from a crap ton of options. I honestly think they are worth the price so you don't get wrist sweat running down your hand. I do also recommend hunting down a screen protector on Amazon for your watch as well to protect the face from accidental dings. 6. It has an app for that. Yep it has soooo many apps that do all the things that it can be very overwhelming. But some are really useful, like if I am listening to Spotify while jogging (walking speed but wheezing for effort) I can swipe songs I don't like and turn up and down the volume without grabbing my iphone from my pocket. Yes it isn't far but I am dying and probably drop my phone if I tried while running. 7. Okay now for a more serious note. For the older generations it has a really useful feature on the newer models that allows you to monitor your heart and detects when you fall. If you fall it shows a sos button on your watch you can press to get help. If you don't move or respond after a minute or two it just makes the call for you. For the heart monitor you can set up your high/low BPM and have it track your heart and after awhile it can detect whether or not you have an irregular heart beat and warns you. It cannot track heart attacks but it can help you monitor your heart if you have any heart conditions so you can see a doctor. Please keep in mind that there is a lot of setup involved with these processes so if you are getting it as a gift for someone elderly or not very tech savvy. Please take the time to set it up and help them out. I found it somewhat easy just a bit time consuming. 8. Lastly for the kids, it has a few features that I think are good to know for parents. The find my iPhone features shows you where they are even should they get separated from their iPhone as long as they have their watch on. If they should forget their iPhone and it gets too far from them the watch alerts them that they left it behind. It has a emergency call button (hold down the button under the crown *wheel thingy*) if they need 911 and sends out their current known location should the worst happen same as the iPhone. And lastly if someone plants the AirTag on them that isn't registered to them it alerts them that one is nearby. It does a lot more then what I listed but I think the review section would implode if I tried to list them all. These are just the ones I typically found useful. Like it also has a flash light feature and a spit water out the side after you wash your hands feature. If your curious to know more about the watch, apple does an amazing job on showing you all its features on their website so I would definitely visit it before you make the purchase. Also you can see all the wrist band options they sell so you can bling it out I guess. Hope this information helps you out!

I recently purchased the Apple Watch Series 8 as a push gift for my girlfriend, and it has exceeded our expectations in every way. Let me share our experience with this remarkable timepiece. **Battery Life (5/5):** One of the most notable improvements in the Series 8 is the battery life. My girlfriend was coming from a Fitbit Versa 3, which required almost daily charging. With the Series 8, she enjoys the freedom of going a couple of days without needing a recharge. This extended battery life has added tremendous convenience to her daily routine. **Durability (5/5):** The durability of the Apple Watch Series 8 is another standout feature. It's designed to withstand daily wear and tear with ease. Whether she's at the gym, running errands, or simply going about her day, this watch has proven to be incredibly resilient. It has shrugged off accidental bumps and scrapes, maintaining its sleek appearance flawlessly. **Comfort (5/5):** Comfort is paramount, especially for a device worn daily. The Series 8 boasts a comfortable and lightweight design that ensures my girlfriend can wear it all day without discomfort. The soft silicone band feels gentle on the skin, and the watch itself is so lightweight that she often forgets it's there until she needs it. **Apps (5/5):** The range of apps available on the Apple Watch Series 8 is truly impressive. Whether it's fitness tracking, navigation, or quick access to messages and calls, the watch delivers. The health and fitness features, including heart rate monitoring and workout tracking, have motivated my girlfriend to stay active and prioritize her well-being. The seamless integration with her iPhone ensures that notifications, apps, and updates are always at her fingertips. In summary, the Apple Watch Series 8 has been an absolute game-changer for my girlfriend. It's a stylish and functional accessory that has seamlessly integrated into her daily life. From the extended battery life to its remarkable durability, comfort, and the wealth of apps it offers, the Series 8 has exceeded our expectations. It's more than just a watch; it's a versatile companion that has genuinely enhanced her overall lifestyle. If you're considering an upgrade, the Apple Watch Series 8 is the perfect choice.

My first Apple Watch purchase and I knew Best Buy was the best place to order. My watch is open box - excellent condition and I got a great deal!!! No flaws. Works excellently. Love the size of the 42mm for my wrist. The battery is usually at 50% by the end of the night so charge it nightly and it’s set to go. Also, Best Buy in-store Customer service is unmatched. I always get Apple at Best Buy and they always come thru!

This watch was such a substantial upgrade for me as I was coming from series 3. The bigger screen and longer battery life are extremely noticeable as well as the fast charging. The watch is also great for tracking workouts and helps you reach your daily goals. I really recommend this watch especially if your coming from and older series Apple Watch.

Ive had an apple watch for atleast 8 years now ans this is only my 3rd time upgrading. No real need but once you get the latest you instantly see a good difference. I have a small wrist so the slightly larger face size will tale getting ise to but it charges super fast and last all day and night. Im able to travk a lot more. No real issues that are cons ither than the price but still affordable

LI purchased the Apple Watch Series 8 Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band and have been using for a few weeks now and I love every features this watch have. One of the standout features for me is the health features. It’s really easy to check my heartbeat, movement, steps, and sleep tracking. Another feature I use all the time is Apple Pay. This function works without wifi, so even if you don’t have phone near you, you can still pay with Apple Pay on your watch. Also, the battery life is very satisfactory. I'm able to get a full day of moderate usage out of the watch before needing a recharge. I would say it can be used up to two full days depending on the usage. I would recommend for everyone who’s looking for a high-quality smartwatches.

Love that I can switch out bands and cases to style the watch to fit my outfits. Seeing the calories you burn in real time is also cool, it’s helping me push myself more with my workouts and to watch what I’m taking in with calories. Battery life lasts pretty good, doesn’t drain out fast. Comfortable to sleep in and has other little features you can explore. I went from not caring about wearing a watch/fitness watch to wanting to wear it everyday. Big change up. Would recommend

I really like the style, features and the battery life that lasts for the whole day. It is very comfortable watch and easy to use. Also, the health and fitness features is outstanding!

I purchased this watch 2 years ago and it’s still going strong! I only take it off for showers and sleep. Can’t do my day without it! It’s been wonderful with instant heart rate access.

The only other apple watch I’ve gotten was Apple Watch Series 3. The battery life without charging is 2 days. The screen is a perfect size. I love it! 10/10

Excellent size and work well with apple phone and battery is better than previous

So far I’ve been using the Apple Watch Series 8 for nearly four months and I absolutely enjoy having this device. I love that the battery in this watch can easily last me the entire day. The processor is capable of handling everything on the device without lagging. Additionally, the fitness and health features are excellent for helping to maintain a healthy lifestyle and for keeping track of health data. I also love being able to stay updated and aware of messages and calls without always having to grab for my phone. There are a few disappointments with this device however. First, the screen on this model does accumulate scratches over time (this model has a glass screen, whereas the stainless steel options have more resistant sapphire screens). My second disappointment is that Siri isn’t as capable on the watch compared to on the iPhone and iPad. For example, on your iPhone/iPad you can ask Siri to pause and play your Apple TV. On the watch, Siri isn’t able to do this. Overall I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this device to others, even with the somewhat disappointing durability and odd software restrictions.

I love it, i love the upgrade from my series3! the keypad is better, the screen is bigger, the battery is good.

This watch is absolutely stunning in person! I love the champagne color it has to it. It’s everything I need it to be in regards to functionality of the watch. I love tracking my fitness, answering calls and texts from it when my phone is plugged up, and so much more. It’s comfortable on my wrist. I do not find myself hitting it on anything. Charges fast and lasts pretty long, especially for me who is constantly using it

Product was perfect and exactly as described. I use it daily and haven’t had any noticeable damage to the watch so it seems super durable and I haven’t had to worry about battery life which is a huge bonus! It’s incredibly helpful with daily things I wouldn’t have thought like setting timers or reminders about work meetings. If anything happens to this watch I’m definitely getting another!

I really like the ease of use. This watch is fast charging and the battery last about a day and a half.

Great product from Apple. The heart rate monitor and the new blood oxygen monitor are both very accurate and useful and it’s the main reason i wear an Apple Watch so i can track my heart health. I love the Starlight color as well, it matches with any color of Apple Watch bands. Definitely worth the upgrade from the Series 4. Battery life can last me almost 2 days even with the always-on display.

Got $70 off on a Father’s Day week sale. Very happy with the watch. Upgraded from the Apple Watch first version, so there were lots of new health features that I didn’t have before. Battery life is longer than previous version, but still have to charge it daily if you are wearing it to bed. Charging is very quick, takes about half an hour to get back to a full charge. It’s very sturdy and the waterproof feature is great for swimming.
