    The Apple Watch has become a gold standard for wearable tech, and the release of the Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra, and updated Apple Watch SE last fall brought even more robust health-tracking features for monitoring heart health, body temperature, and sleep habits, as well as other cycle-tracking functions

    I tried to break up with Apple Watch but just couldn’t do it. I had the Ultra and it was entirely too bulky. So I sold it and bought the 8. The 8 series is absolutely perfect. I love the starlight color. Charges super fast, and I love the always on display. It also holds a great charge. Would highly recommend.

    Love my Apple Watch!! As an older woman, I need the reminders to stand. The activity app on it encourages me to keep moving to close my rings of standing, steps and exercise. Best of all, I can use it to find my frequently misplaced iPhone! Lol

    Good size for a small wrist, Siri is the queen of my heart, so useful. Not much to say really. Useful, functional, not the height of fashion or elegance but doable and serves the purpose. I like that the color is soft champagne instead of stark white.

    I reluctantly recently switched from a Samsung watch to Apple Watch. I am pleasantly surprised that I have learned to love it! It has a lot of the same features as the Samsung one, but the Apple Watch is much easier to read! I also enjoy all the added features!

    I made the best choice by purchasing the Apple Watch Series 8 instead of the SE2. The charging speed is fast, and having the screen always on is much more convenient than I thought. Moreover, I bought it during the discount period, so the price difference compared to the SE2 has significantly decreased. I was worried that the white color would easily get dirty, but even after using it for over a month, it still looks clean. The battery performance is also excellent, allowing me to go for two days without charging. Above all, I must commend Best Buy for their customer service. When the delivery was mistakenly made to the wrong place and I couldn't find the item, I called their customer center, and the representative allowed me to receive a new Apple Watch. I did not receive the additional Apple Watch that Best Buy had prepared for me in response to finding the mistakenly delivered one. But I was impressed by Best Buy's appropriate response.

    Updates degrade my watch rather than upgrade

    I love my Apple Watch. However I don’t use it a ton, but I wear it 24/7 except for when charging. When I first got it because I don’t use it a ton I could go about 48hours on 100% charge brand new. That lasted for the most part up until an update. I don’t do automatic updates because I don’t like everything changing. That being said, when I updated it, it went to about 34 hours on a charge, and then I updated it again within 2weeks and the charge barely lasts 24hrs if I’m lucky. All because of updates! Shame on you apple, making your devices janky upon updates so people buy new devices. Aside from that I’m happy with my watch and will probably upgrade again this November if another new one comes out. I had the series 5 before this watch and kept it in like new condition just as I have this watch. My only other complaint is with the watch band it comes with that I was excited to have as I didn’t have 1 with my 1st watch, and I hate to admit it but after long term wear my wrist always stinks. I changed the band and it went away. I recently tried switching back to the Apple band and once again stinks. (Sports band)

    Upgraded my watch for my birthday from a 5 to the 8. The battery life is great, as it last two days instead of one. I don't see much difference. It is really great though and working very well. I recommend this watch.

    Love this new watch! I bought this to replace my old watch. The color is beautiful, makes the watch a little more feminine to wear daily :) Battery life is impressive on this! My old watch died halfway through the day, this one lasts over a day.

    I really loved the latest series 8 watch! It’s just what I wanted. Though it’s only GPS it’s best with just it. Very handy with all the features, especially the best health tracking features. Loved this product overall!!

    I upgraded from the SE. my watch was going slow and wasn’t upgraded properly. Love the series 8 more clear and seems lighter. I got the 38. Battery life last longer too and I’m active for 12+ hours a day

    I already owned an Apple Watch, but recently I’ve been exploring its health features more, and it’s been a lot of fun to monitor my progress. Additionally, I appreciate the gentle wake-up alarm using watch vibrations, and the convenience of setting up alarms right on the watch. The connectivity features have been a game-changer for me. With the Apple Watch, I can effortlessly unlock my computer, control my music playback, and promptly respond to notifications without having to reach for my phone. If you own other Apple devices, the watch becomes even more versatile, adding further value to the overall experience. I highly recommend taking advantage of these features if you have the opportunity!

    really enjoy my new apple watch! i like being able to have multiple photos for the lock screen and it rotates through them. it also lets me know whenever i’m in a loud environment, like every time one of my kids cries it tells me it’s too loud. it also really helps motivates me to workout. it can sense when i’m on a walk to and asks if i want to start a workout which is nice for when i forget to turn it on.
