    Easy to learn and very attractive. Looking at getting a second band because the Fashion Police said, “can’t hurt to have two”.

    I absolutely love my Apple Watch! It's great for fitness tracking as well as doing tasks like getting directions and answering texts, email, and phone calls, and even paying for your morning coffee with Apple Pay! I have never wore a watch as much as I do my Apple Watch. If you have someone who is over the age of 65 or older, this is a good watch for them because not only do this provides security, but also safety features like fall detection, or crash detection. It also has medication reminders that you can set up in the health app so you never forget to take important medication.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Best Buy to purchase an Apple Watch @ orlando,millennia and I must say that the level of customer service I received was truly outstanding. From the moment I entered the store, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond to assist me in finding the perfect Apple Watch for my needs. The employees at Best Buy demonstrated a deep understanding of the Apple Watch models, features, and compatibility with various devices. They patiently listened to my requirements and preferences, providing insightful recommendations based on my needs, lifestyle, and budget. Their expertise helped me make an informed decision, ensuring I selected the most suitable Apple Watch. Moreover, the customer service representatives were genuinely passionate about the products they offered. Their enthusiasm and willingness to answer all my questions made the purchasing process both enjoyable and informative. They took the time to explain the watch's functionalities, syncing options, and even provided helpful tips on getting the most out of my new device. What truly impressed me was the personalized attention I received. The staff took the initiative to set up the Apple Watch for me, guiding me through the initial setup and pairing with my iPhone. They also offered to assist with any future queries or technical difficulties I might encounter, providing reassurance that Best Buy is committed to ongoing customer support. In addition to their expertise and personalized service, the staff at Best Buy maintained a high level of professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire transaction. The store was well-organized, making it easy to browse and compare different models. The checkout process was efficient, and I appreciated the seamless payment options available. Overall, my experience with Best Buy's customer service while purchasing an Apple Watch was nothing short of exceptional. The knowledgeable and friendly staff, combined with their passion for the products and commitment to customer satisfaction, left a lasting impression. I highly recommend Best Buy to anyone looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable shopping experience.

    Every iPhone owner should have an Apple Watch! It is a great extension of the phone, which I didn't really appreciate until I got this watch. (It does require an iPhone, so don't get it if you aren't sure your next phone will also be an iPhone.) It's so fun to customize the watch face, with almost infinite possibilities. The Series 8 GPS Aluminum (without Cellular) was the Goldilocks model for me. (It can make and receive calls within range of your phone, or if you are on Wi-Fi that your phone has connected to in the past.)

    After always having an android phone I finally made the switch to Apple. I Love this watch!! It does so much, keeps me informed, wakes me up along with the phone alarm, I can take calls, texts, track my heart and respriration rates, control my audiobooks and even track my sleep which is helping me get a better nights sleep. I also love how i can design my own watch face selecting the apps i want right to see. I have the wi-fi version and it works great for me. What’s not to love, go ahead and buy it!

    Well, this little marvel probably saved my life. I kept getting alerts that my heart rate had dropped to 40. I now have a pacemaker that keeps my heart beating better, and the watch shows my current pulse. I could write a book actually on all of the ways that this watch has enhanced my life, from getting messages with the number for 2 factor sign in to answering my phone on my wrist to getting the outside temperature to tracking my steps and distance walked to.....This is one little miracle that I am so glad that I purchased and don't intend to ever be without an Apple watch.

    Having been only a garmin watch user, I found that this apple watch has been more beneficial for me. GPS is on par with garmin, finding my phone when misplaced by using the “beep mechanism” has been super helpful. In addition when driving and I want to quickly skip songs, i can use my watch to control it. I recommend this watch overall :)

    Very happy with the Apple 8 Series watch. I like the features and the that all the health readings display on Fitness+ when I work out. Works great when linked to my TV and can see all my stats. This was a change from Fitbit which Google seems to have broken since they bought it. You have to recharge daily, but the watch lets you know when you're reaching a critical point. Not a big deal for me.

    Loved this thing. I did regret not getting the bigger size. Additionally, the aluminum model gets pretty scratched up. I’ve since updated to the bigger stainless steal model which is great.
