    little life saver

    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.

    I like apple watch series 8. All features are superb and Quality product at a fair price. 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.

    Got it on discount and shipping was fast. I bought this watch to help me track my activity and exercise during pregnancy. So far, I’m loving it and the features are very useful for me. Was a bit concerned with how the battery life will turn out to be, but it actually charges really fast and I can use it for 2-3 days till the next charge.

    As a previous owner of a Series 1 and SE models, I have to say the Series 8 is everything and more. It is comfortable, the battery lasts about a day and a half (sometimes more, sometimes less). The watch couldn't be better. I have lots of other nice watches, but I always wear this one - every day.

    This is my third Apple Watch. They just keep improving with features and I have never been disappointed. Best Buy brings better prices than any other source for new Apple products that I’m aware of. The process for buying online and picking up in the store is seamless. You feel like a VIP! I’m sure my next Apple product will come from Best Buy.

    Great safety features

    I bought one for one of my daughters and had to buy one for the other. I love the safety features. The first one I bought was just the fall detection and 911 but this one has accident detection too. It's a wee bit more peace of mind knowing that they have quick access to 911 when they are on campus at night or if they fall on the stairs. Both girls ALWAYS have their phone on them so this works perfectly for them and they don't end up paying extra for it to have its own line. They are smaller than I had originally expected and are, actually, pretty sleek looking. I expected something much bulkier. I love that they don't grab your attention, they are subtle and not flashy. The choice of screens turned out to be a BIG deal. Apparently, you just can't have a boring screen. The first watchband was replaced on day one and I'm pretty sure this one won't last long either. They like to upgrade the watchbands...these are pretty basic. But there's a great variety of watchbands to choose from and further personalize the watch. No complaints and, just for the safety features, I think it's worth every penny.

    Its hard to say exactly what i like about the new Apple Watch. With the form staying the same i can tell it is more responsive and has many more features from my series 3. My wife loves the larger screen and the added sensors. This was a must have once the battery finally stopped lasting theough the day on the series 4.

    This was my wife's first upgrade since the Series 2. The Series 2 had been through so much and worked great for the years she had it. With the series 8, there is a noticeable difference in the speed of going through different screens and opening different apps. The battery life usually lasts around a day and a half, but it gets put on the charger each night.

    I'd had my pevious watch since 2019 and it was dying and it didn't have as many features. I am glad I finally upgraded for longer battery life, a few more features and most of all a bigger display. You don't think that 1mm will make a difference - but whewwww it made a huge difference for me. This is your sign to get a better watch!

    Bought it for my wife. She loves it. It has a lot of updated features. She loves that she can put her work Outlook calendar on the watch face to tell her when my next meeting will be at work. It helps keep her motivated to work out and be healthy. She was tickled with the handwashing timer and reminders too.

    Apple Watch 8 is SUCH an improvement over my Apple Watch 3. The screen is larger and easy to read, battery life is better, and the improvements in health tracking are awesome. I highly recommend this watch if you have one of the earlier models.
