    I bought this for my girlfriend for her birthday. She loves it! Great battery life, responsive touchscreen, plenty of accessory options, and didn't break the bank.

    I have tried several Fitbits and Samsung devices but all fell short of delivering fitness support and phone sync. Apple checks all thr boxes with fitness support and easy navigation and usability of apps from my watch instesd if pulling my phone out.

    Apple Watch 8 really has all the features of the new Apple Watch 9 so I chose to save a little with a "like new" open box, rather than pay a premium for the latest release. Best Buy delivered new quality promptly and I'd consider open-box items again in the future. While I am still navigating features after years with Fitbit Charge devices, the Apple Watch has quite a bit to offer and seems to do better not overestimating flights of stairs because I live at altitude. I'm going to need to research how best to conserve battery life since I do want to track sleep wearing it overnight; thus, it becomes a bit iffy to get through the entire work day along with exercise activities without at least some charging.

    Alright, so I was first a hardcore Fitbit fan for about 7 years, attempted Garmin, went BACK to Fitbit and decided to finally try out an Apple Watch. Oh my goodness, I’m so much happier with it. For those concerned with fitness tracking, yes, you will need to download an app like YAZIO or my fitness pal to track food intake as well (compared to Fitbit logging on the spot) but I didn’t see it as a big deal. I also use the Athlytic app for tracking endurance/building that works with Apple Watch. I’ve had this watch for over a month now and am very happy with the purchase. The haptic alarm is also a plus in the morning. Battery life isn’t as long as my Fitbit BUT… Super fast charging. Convenient to access all my normal phone apps or unlock my MacBook right away as well. Lastly, the find my phone “chirp” button is SO useful for finding my phone in the house LOL

    I have always wanted a apple watch and my husband bought me an apple watch for Christmas. I love this watch. This watch helps me track my excerises and how many steps that I take. I enjoy being able to text from my watch and not having to pull out my phone.

    Absolutely love my series 8. I had been using a series 3 for so many years but finally upgraded and it was worth it. Battery life is excellent. Better calibration with exercise and calorie counting. Very happy with this purchase.

    This watch is so awesome for exercise and sleep goals and constantly giving me tips for improvement. Battery stays charged much longer than previous versions. Lots of protection features such as fall and crash detection. Heart monitoring & EKG.

    I am very pleased with the Apple Watch Series 8 that I bought at Best Buy in January 2023. Loving the features that the watch provides. This replaces a Polar M400 - I can now see my pulse on my wrist without wearing a separate heart rate monitor.

    Replaced my series 4 with this, and I don’t regret the purchase at all! It’s given me better insight into my heart health and it’s great for my workouts! The battery health is longer than my last watch, which I enjoy also.

    This is my first Apple Watch and I love it. Paired with my phone without any problems. Small enough to not look bulky on my wrist but big enough screen to read/see the face clearly. Love it. Previously owned an Versa Fit Bit.

    Bought this for my stepmother-in-law. She loves it. I am not a fan of red but she is apparently. Apple's quality and ease of use really shine through in this watch. So much so I am actually thinking of getting one for myself.

    The quality was very good and I love the color. Everything functioned quickly and efficiently, but I had to return it. It wasn't because of the watch being faulty or anything, but for the time I had it I loved it!
