    Awesome watch. Love the always on feature. Really make you feel like you’re wearing a real watch without having to tap the screen to always see the time . The battery like is just awesome . Usually only have to charge watch after a day and a half to two days .

    Fall detection — even in the shower!

    I bought my first Apple Watch (Series 5) for fall detection. When the fall detection is triggered, the watch asks if I need help and will call 911 and people I’ve identified as emergency contacts if I don’t answer. I bought this watch (Series 8) to wear when the other is charging and when I’m in the shower. The Series 8 watch can be worn in water—a new feature. I have found that either watch detects falls more accurately than a health alarm system that required a monthly subscription. The subscription service had three false alarms in a month and even brought paramedics to my door once. When the watch “thinks” I have fallen, it’s easy for me to respond that I’m ok. With these watches, I have met my goal of 24 hour fall detection without having to wear an extra device around my neck and without a subscription.

    I’ve owned a few Apple Watches before but this one is by far the best in my opinion. In the past I struggled with Apple not having a sleep app for me to track sleep so I always ended up wearing my Fitbit most of the time. Well finally Apple has added a sleep tracker which has outdone Fitbit! I love all the new features on my new watch. Sure you can get the SE for a lot cheaper but for me personally it was really important to have the temperature tracking for ovulation purposes. Everything works as it should on the Series 8 and I also noticed a big change in battery life. I’m really happy with this watch and am glad I upgraded!

    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.

    Great watch! I’m very happy with my purchase. This is my third Apple Watch and they last forever- I just get a new one to upgrade to get newest features. This one is easier to read because the screen size is larger.

    The gold standard of smart watches still. Got this for a present for my mother and she loves how it lets her track her health, keep her connected if her phone isn’t nearby, and offers well beyond the utility of a traditional watch. She is now a smart watch convert!

    I bought this for my wife, she absolutely loves it! Uses it for workout and sleep tracking, and of course, keeping in touch. We both use the “walkie talkie” feature all the time with my Apple Watch Ultra. Well worth the investment.

    I use it everyday, it helps me not to open my purse to pick up my phone because I just have to look on my apple watch to see what's on my notifications. It's very convinient specially if my timer is up I just do everything with my watch since it's faster again no need to reach out for my purse it's takes time. Overall I am glad that I got this wonderful gift from my husband yay!

    Finally broke down to get one - wanted it primarily for sleep tracking and Apple Pay. Turns out I also like the haptic notifications, including the morning alarm. I guess my main critique is that there are some apps I can’t uninstall or hide - but that’s no biggie.

    I’m enjoying my watch! First thing I do when waking is check how many hours I slept because I don’t sleep well. I like it tracks my steps. Really enjoy everything about it. Although I replaced the band with a more flexible one.

    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.

    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.

    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.
