    I like the watch and functions but the battery life isn’t very good. It dies before the day is over. Compared to my old Apple Watch SE the battery is horrible. Watches features are nice.

    Apple Watch Series 8 is Great!

    I owned an Apple Watch Series 0, then a Series 3, and have been needing an upgrade for a few years. I don't find $400+ in value for any watch, so I waited for the Series 8 and go on sale and then bought an open box in excellent condition for $279 (40 mm size). The Series 8 is Great!. Love the new features including EKG (at 55 years old it doesn't hurt to have a heart monitor watching out for heart irregularities.) The Blood O2 is a nice too, and the overall watch performance (speed, connectivity to the iPhone, etc.) are much improved over the older generations. The battery is definitely better. I get through a day with around 40-50% left before I charge it overnight. That's better than any new watch I have owned. I'm very happy with my purchase and even more happy to save $120 (30%!) at Best Buy. You won't find that price at an Apple Store.

    The Apple Watch Series 8 41mm with a Starlight Aluminum Case and Sport Band is a sleek, stylish smartwatch that combines functionality with elegance. The 41mm size is perfect for a comfortable fit on most wrists, and the Starlight color adds a modern touch. The GPS functionality provides accurate location tracking, and the watch's health features, including heart rate monitoring and advanced fitness tracking, are top-notch. The Sport Band is durable and comfortable for all-day wear. Overall, the Series 8 delivers a great mix of style, performance, and practicality, making it an excellent choice for both fitness enthusiasts and tech lovers.

    I purchased the series 8 41mm and i had it for over 2 weeks now. I upgraded from a series 5 40mm. I like the size of the 41mm it is very comfortable and it does not get annoying wearing it all day. The screen is big enough where you are able to read every message but the keyboard is too small and hard to type on. The battery life it pretty good and i can use it from 6am-5pm and the battery has not dropped below 40% the 2 week i used this watch.

    Probably the Best Smartwatch

    I purchased this smartwatch on sale and could not be happier. *I purchased one listed as a "Best Buy Open Box - Excellent" that was the worst experience and quality I have ever had from Best Buy and have a review of that device somewhere on here. Back to this device. The battery life is great. I can easily make it through a day with plenty of battery life left. I am not a power user so this has never been an issue. Workout tracking is great and I appreciate the end workout reminder that is built in. The water purge feature also comes in handy. The build quality is superb and feels good while wearing it. There is so much in this watch compared with its size. Even the standard watch band is good and I have continued to use it instead of purchasing a different type. The magnets on the charger are very strong and I never have to worry about positioning it correctly or it being nocked off the charger by my cat as he walks across the night stand (why is Google so afraid of magnets?). So nice to set it on the charger and not have to check to make sure it is charging. Setting the watch up is a snap and using it is very intuitive. The sensors work well and the Health app is very nice. All around this smartwatch is close to a perfect device. Really wish the iPhone cameras were better, the iOS more customizable, and more the phones reasonably priced. Or let me pair the watch with my iPad Air. I would definitely recommend this Smartwatch to others. Just know that to use this smartwatch you will need to have an iPhone.
