    Great watch - I upgraded from the first generation, so everything about this has been impressive (battery life, fitness/health tracking). The watch band I ordered on my first gen was s/m and so I order that with this watch, but I have found the band to be even tighter, so would recommend maybe sizing up.

    Fabulous watch that syncs easily with my iPhone. Its a favorite at my home with 3 members in our family of 4 owning an Apple Watch! In fact, we are an out an out Apple fanatics - be it laptop, iPad, Airpods, Apple watch, etc. The added bonus is the great service given by the Best Buy team in giving us a quick glance into the features and the ease of use. With a team like the Geek squad to support the customers, Best Buy is the place to shop for electronic items of any brand! Having been a member for a few years now, I would strongly recommend Best Buy!

    The slightly smaller 41 MM size fits my wife's wrist very nicely. The starlight color scheme is pleasing. The functionality is great even without the cell option. She finds the O2, ECG and heart rate monitor capability meats her needs while exercising.

    I bought this for my wife and her fitness journey after her Fitbit broke after only a year of use. I’ve been using the series 7 for over a year and it’s been great and she’s been loving this series 8! Also tons of options that the Fitbit does not have.

    Amazing watch! I upgraded from the Series 4 and it was a tremendous upgrade for the safety features in itself. Gorgeous color that can take it from being a fitness watch to dressing it up to simply by switching bands. Battery life has been phenomenal on it. It's well worth the purchase!

    I am extremely pleased with this Apple Watch. It was easy to set up and comfortable to wear. I used my phone to track my activities, but I wanted to monitor my sleep and this watch does it great. I find I'm being much more active now that I have this watch.

    Wife loves it. Of course it’s way better than the 3rd version she was still wearing. The screen is bigger and it has more features. Only gripe is that it doesn’t come with the plug in base of the charger. It comes with the new micro usb cable so you will need to have a plug in port for that.

    I have had an Apple Watch as a staple and standard setter since the series 3. The generations always get better and Im happy to say the battery life of this series has been the best so far. However, the majority of my battery drainage comes from me tracking my workouts. It's consistently in need of charging since Im an individual who tries to work out 3-5 times in a week. If I don't use it then its fine. What I appreciate the most: I always wear my watch in the shower and appreciate that if I forget to turn on the water lock function it is not a big deal. I tend to be careless with my appendages and knock my watch on walls and other hard surfaces without having any durability worries. If my hearts racing and I use the ECG app to help calm myself down.

    Worth every penny.

    Best purchase I ever made. Never wear watches because they are uncomfortable. I don’t even know I have this on. I bought a stretch band for it that makes its comfy. I bought this for the Fall feature, because I fell a while ago. Worth every penny. Finding a lot of cool features. Love that I don’t have to take it off every time I wash my hands too.

    Bought for my husband’s birthday. He loves the smaller size and all features, especially the ability to keep track of fitness goals. He bought a magnetic strap for easier use. Price matched with Amazon.

    I love the fact it is dust proof as well as all of the new health tracking benefits that this model offers. I get about a day and a half out of the battery and this includes me sleeping with it on. It only takes 20 minutes or so to charge.
