    Battery life is a problem - otherwise great

    I only have one complaint, but otherwise it does exactly what you'd expect. Its battery life is just not really good enough. It last just less than 24 hours which means that you're continually playing catch up if you want to wear it while you sleep, as I do. When I replace it, I will get one with longer battery life, even if that means an Ultra - I hope it doesn't, and that Apple fixes this before the next time I buy one. Otherwise, it's great. It's small enough for my small wrists, has a pretty screen, good selection of bands and watch faces, and clear, easy-to-use design.

    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.

    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)

    I love my Apple Watch. As an avid athlete it is great for tracking my workouts. It’s nice to get alerts for texts and calls so I never miss them. I wish the battery life lasted longer. It can usually only get me through about a 18 hour day

    It looks amazing and feels really good on my wrist. It's packed full of features and has incredibly good workout tracking and the gps is pretty accurate. The biggest issue I have with this watch is how easily it scratches, both screen and casing. I work a relatively laborious job and the first day I had it I had some pretty deep scratches after work. Other than that it's an awesome product!

    I upgraded from a Fitbit Charge to the Apple Watch. I like the features, functions, and capabilities as compared to the Fitbit where I had to review and app to see most things. It looks nice. I wish it had more battery life though. I have limited a lot of the apps but still don’t seem to get much more than a days worth of charge time. In contrast my Fitbit would last roughly a week. I wish Apple would make the battery life last longer.

    I absolutely love my watch. I continue to learn new features and how to adjust for what I want on the watch. Only downside and why I only gave 4/5 stars is the battery life. Otherwise, it would get that 5th star. Please allow battery life to last much longer ( 1 week would be awesome)

    Love the watch for all the things I can do. Used a medical device for 3 years which cost me 3 times the amount of the watch. Purchased the sport model and purchased a new band and watch face. Only thing I do not like is the amount of charge it holds. Wear for 16 hrs. Needs a charge every day. It holds only 45% per day. Holds up in the pool. Love, love this

    It’s really good. Has a lot of good apps that I use regularly, and even has a button that pings my phone when I lose it, which is a lot. The only thing is that the battery dies really quickly. Really really quickly. It could have something to do with the always on display but I have to charge it every day or it dies in my sleep.

    For the past 22 years, I was required to wear a watch to work. And now I can't make it through the day without my Apple watch. It's worth every penny, I love it!
