    Got this watch as a birthday present from my husband. Originally wanted the 7 but it would have been almost the same cost so we got the 8. Love it! My wrist is a S/M, and fits perfectly. Love all the apps. Love being able to text back and even answer my calls from my watch. My favorite is you can make your background multiple photos so to shuffles thru.

    Disappointed that the battery doesn't even last for 24 hours even when I have it set up to save the battery and is supposed to help it last longer but it doesn't. Other than that I love the watch.

    Helps me stay motivated with daily workouts. I can also wear it in the pool, and it tracks my laps and the swimming strokes I used. The 44mm size would be too large for my small wrist and arm. See photo.

    Love the new Apple Watch 8. I’ve had a series 3 for almost 5 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the upgrade. The display is clear and so much larger than the 38mm I had previously. The starlight is beautiful and will look great with any band color. I have the elderberry sport band.

    Nice watch. As much as its costs it should’ve came with an adapter to charge it. Battery life doesn’t last long make sure to charge it daily.

    Annoying bug! Green/Gray tint on the screen!

    Shortly after I purchased this watch (in May 2023) I have had issues with the screen having discoloration issues. The screen looks gray instead of black and the screen has a green faded tint that's heavier in color along the edges that fades inwards/across the screen. Sometimes it shows up worse than other days too. Mostly only appears when the watch is locked and asking for the code, in the control panel and in the notifications screen. That's about half the watches display functions we as users look at throughout the day, so it's pretty annoying considering the price of these things. Everything I've researched on the issue claims to be a bug issue from the latest update to watchOS 9.5? My boyfriend has the 45mm s8 with watchOS 9.5 installed though (sidenote: we purchased our watches together on the same day) and he has no issues. So I'm unsure if it's just an issue for some of the 41mm watches or what... but either way, for me, I'm unimpressed because if it's apparently a known software issue then why not fix it? Other than that though, it's a convenient accessory to my iphone.

    Best watch! I switched from but it versa 2 to the Apple Watch and it’s changed my whole dynamic on how I utilize my watch. Fitbit isn’t even comparable to this. I love the silicone band it canes with as well, So sleek.

    I wanted something similar to my series 4 and this one fit the bill. Paired up quickly and has been a great addition to my tech. I ordered on line and it was ready for pickup in a few hours
