    The watch itself was fine but the employees gave me a poor experience. I had to tell them they gave me the wrong watch. But since they already scanned the package (that they failed to check) so I had to come back an hour later since they cannot do a return within the hour. Then when I get there an hour later (when the store is 30 minutes from my house) the worker simply just switch the package for the right one. Complete waste of my day.

    I used to buy the latest Apple Watch in Best Buy every year but this time was definitely disappointing, the Apple Watch came blocked from iCloud.

    Activity does not seem even close to accurate, I played Raquetball for near 2 hrs and it only showed about 12 minutes of activity - disappointing

    Disappointing

    The watch itself is what I expected from an Apple device however, it comes with a type "C" charging cable with NO wall plug adapter for the USB C end of the charging cable to plug into the wall. With the amount that Apple charges for these devices it's disappointing that they can't provide everything needed to get up and running. I ended up purchasing an aftermarket wall plug adapter at half the cost of the OEM Apple adapter.

    Good smart watch. Would have given 5 stars if you could see more on sleep state rather than gracing to go to app on phone.

    This watch has been nothing but trouble, IRS beautiful ; however obviously there is an unusual problem in the manufacturing. I have the watch under both Apple and Best Buy insurance production but they won’t replace lace it or approve. I’ve never had trouble befor and it is quite disappointing
