    I love the neutral tone of the watch itself and how comfortable the band is! All of the capabilities of the watch itself are really nice and useful. I actually find myself using my phone less because im able to use my watch for a majority of what i need to do

    I am pleased! However, I find it a bit difficult to utilize all the benefits. I have total tech and did get a great tutorial but think it will take some time to take advantage of all the watch can do! Did not realize it interacted so much with my iPhone!

    Watch started giving problems within months of purchasing it as it was not able to hold battery charge for too long. Full charging was holding it up for only 4-5 hrs max.

    We got this for our daughter as a boot camp graduation gift and she absolutely loves it. It did gives us a scare as it wouldn’t connect until all the updates to the phone where done but once the phone was updates it was all cheese and sprinkles like she says.

    Typical of what you would expect from APPLE -- top quality, display is outstanding even in daylight. Also, display is not too small and not super large on your wrist like some cheapo imitation smart watches. The ECG charting is priceless to check for AFIB.

    No real issues with the watch, just seems to be very glitchy - but my daughter has the same watch with no issues.

    Series 8 has some nice features. Unfortunately, they are difficult to read, and can not be sent to alternate viewing devices.

    Best purchase I’ve made in a while! Works great! Only think is i wish i got a bigger wrist strap size. The small/medium size is really meant for people with VERY small wrists. It fits me but its on the second to last notch.

    I don't see many improvements between this version and my Apple Watch 3 but was forced to upgrade due to the low storage space on the 3.

    Love this Apple Watch. So many options.I used to only use a Fitbit. Only thing I wish I had was the cellular version. Battery life isn’t good when comparing it to a Fitbit. You must charge it everyday compare to every week.

    I purchased this to replace a FitBit Alta. I am very pleased with how easily it syncs with my iPhone. I am still learning all the apps that it has, but am very happy with all the features I have found so far.

    Nickel allergy beware! Watch great otherwise

    The watch itself I think is great. The reason I can’t give this 5 stars is because the band has given me so much trouble. My problem has been with the sports band, that turned out to contain nickel in the pin/clasp area that I was unaware of prior to buying and has given me a rash and have been unable to wear it much due to that. Had I know that it contained nickel I would have purchased a different kind. I haven’t been able to wear any nickel jewelry for as long as I can remember, definitely wish they would advertise it properly, instead of a lost little tab on the apple website- which the support team at apple has been so eager to point out that they do in fact mention it, too bad they don’t mention it under the actual product specifications. I will look into purchasing a new band since the return period has passed( didn’t realize that returns on this product had only a 15 day window)

    I love my watch best purchase I ever made. Buying it was a great experience because of my sales advisor (Todd Baumer) who help me. His experience and friendly personality convinced me to buy my first Apple watch.
