    Not just a stylish watch, so much more

    The watch is stylish, but so much more. My wife has asked for it as an early Christmas present and absolutely loves what it does for her from a reminder point of view such as letting her know when to move, how much water to drink, how long to wash her hands. Beyond these niceties it also offers some medical insights such as the % of oxygen in her blood, sleep patterns, EKG data, etc. The greatest testament to this device is that she went from wearing no watch to seeing this unit as indispensable on a daily basis. The 41 mm seize suited her perfectly, not too small and not overwhelming her wrist.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    After a couple of days of use I can say that the watch has helped me a lot in my daily routine and in the gym, the battery lasts long enough and I can see many things without having to look at my phone when I'm busy. I love it

    I purchased this watch as it was highly recommended by a close friend of same age. I’m astounded by all of its features. Haven’t worn a watch in decades, but now I very much like having it at hand!

    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 have been trying to convince my wife to get an Apple Watch to help with her fitness goals. I kept telling her how easily the watch will work with her phone. After her 2nd Fitbit broke, she finally relented. She loves it.

    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.

    For me the band was uncomfortable, too sweaty, I replaced with a fabric one no problem. It works great, I love the sleep tracking and exercise rings. The customizable faces are great. It is currently a photo of my cat. The average body temperature has never worked. It always tells me it needs 5 more nights of data. I’ve changed settings and I can’t get it to show. I don’t need to know my average body temperature but if that’s a feature that is feature that is offered it should work.
