    Love it, it a little bit larger than I expected and I did like that improvement. The keyboard is very easy to use and useful for quick text messages. I love that I can check my heart rate and oxygen in an instant. I like all the new features that comes with this new watch.

    Streamlines life on the go and makes keeping up effortless. I wished I would have purchased this a long time ago. Easy setup and a ton of accessories are available for this watch. Not only does it tell time and adds an extension to m phone, but it monitors all of my vitals for working out and sleeping... Almost too good to be true for sush an awesome price...

    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.

    I purchased the series 8 watch in the starlight color 41 mm. So far I have been extremely satisfied with the new updates on the watch, the battery life is lasting me approximately 48 hours. Which is a big upgrade since my previous watch was a series 2.

    Apple Watch 8 is Awesome. Battery Backup is Good, the Calorie Steps SPO2 Measurements are accurate. It has so many mode of Workouts which I did not see in any other type of smart watches. Synchronization with iPhone is Awesome. A definite recommendation to buy.

    Just what the Doctor Ordered

    Our doctor told my wife she needed to get an AppleWatch to be able to monitor her cardiac performance and that we should get it as soon as possible. Les than 24 hours later we bought one at Best Buy and one of the Geeks set it up for her. He was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about the Apple Watch and the new iPhone that we had just acquired. It took some time to download the updates needed but he said that a good part of his day was usually spent waiting for such data transfers to happen. We walked away from the store with the new device, and it is monitoring her heart with the possibility of sending reports from her phone directly to the doctor wen abnormal activity is detected. What could be better than that?

    Love it! The display is so crisp and sharp that I can read it without my reading glasses, even in the bright sun - a big win for me. I had a Fitbit for fitness tracking and sleep monitoring but this is much nicer and does so much more. It seems so well thought out. The timers are easy to use and you can have multiples going at the same time. The calculator has a tip function and asks how many people are paying to make it super easy to split a check at a restaurant. I can control a bunch of stuff on my car from it, find my other devices, send and relieve texts and phone calls and the list goes on and on. Mine is wifi only, which is just fine for me. My phone is nearby, so I don’t want the expense of an extra phone line. It’s expensive but we’ll worth it to me. I didn’t understand why my friends raved about it until I got one.

    Solid upgrade for my wife from the series 3. Does everything she wants and more since the upgrade. It is a slim profile and has held up great so far from scratches. It doesn’t seem too small, especially if you have a smaller wrist.

    Reviewing this after a year. A very happy purchase it has saved me and notified me of my health issues twice. Just wish the battery at least lasted 2 full days but seamless connection and being part of ecosystem just alone gets the jelly points. Go for it! Plus it has SPo2 monitor missing on 9.

    I got this for my sister to help monitor her vitals as we have a family history of medical conditions. She was completely against it at first, but after showing her improvement in the quality of my life and doctor’s visits made simple with mine, she’s come around for sure. It’s also helped to keep in touch with her as her phone is always on silent LOL

    Coming from a series 6, this was a decent jump. Not too much has changed, but the slight increase in screen size has made such a big difference. Battery lasts nearly a full day, and colors are vivid and accurate.

    The Apple Watch motivates me to go to the gym because my data is transparent and real-time. Seeing messages on the watch is essential for me, as I no longer have to constantly reach for my phone. Locating my iPhone using the watch is very helpful, as I always misplace my phone and now it's easier to find. Answering calls on the watch during workouts is very convenient. Using the map on the watch is amazing because you don't have to walk around with your phone in hand; you can track your route on the watch.

    The Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS) 41mm watch has amazing features. I love its health monitoring capabilities. The only thing that I wish it had was a little more battery life. I have to charge it everyday. I may have to tweak my usage a little bit to improve battery life. You're able to adjust the text size on the watch face, so it's very easy to read on the watch. It's great not having to pull out my phone for everything. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.
