    This is a great watch and I had a good experience getting it at a good price from my local Best Buy. The watch has all the features I care about, i.e., sleep and fitness tracking, crash alerts, blood oxygen readouts, and the ability to customize it with endless apps. It's attractive and light-weight on my wrist. My only problem with it is my wrists are very small (5.5") and the strap provided didn't work at all. It took quite a bit of work to find one that I could use but I did. I think the manufacturer and retailers should sell more and a greater range of straps.

    I’ve had my watch for two year and I still love it. Everything still works great, and the battery lasts just over 24 hours so I always charge it while I shower. The tracking is pretty accurate from what I can tell and gives lot of useful information.

    A WATCH WORTH ITS VALUE!

    Overall, I've been using the Apple Watch 8 for almost a month now and I love every feature this watch affords. I purchased it for health reasons, ECG, blood oxygen, heart rate, etc., but it has many other features which I've yet to tackle like activity, find devices, medications, mindfulness, remote, etc. I'm not tech savvy but resorting to YouTube instructions has helped me understand and be able to use many of its features. Oh, and BTW, it charges super, super fast. A good buy and worth the spending.

    Has worked really well keeping track of heath using apple's app. I wear it nightly/daily and only have to charge it for a couple of hours every few days. The screen is responsive and the battery life is good for my lifestyle.

    I absolutely love my Apple Watch! It's great for fitness tracking as well as doing tasks like getting directions and answering texts, email, and phone calls, and even paying for your morning coffee with Apple Pay! I have never wore a watch as much as I do my Apple Watch. If you have someone who is over the age of 65 or older, this is a good watch for them because not only do this provides security, but also safety features like fall detection, or crash detection. It also has medication reminders that you can set up in the health app so you never forget to take important medication.

    Complete satisfaction with the watch. Love how it tracks my daily fitness exercises! I also love how it works in conjunction with my iPhone. Totally seamless. So many things that you can do with the watch. I use it a lot to take selfies.. I set my phone up on a small tripod or lean it up next to something. I use my watch to trigger the shutter on my phone. Forget about having photos where your arm is stretched out and it looks weird in your photos! The watch is comfortable with the default watch band too!

The employees at Best Buy demonstrated a deep understanding of the Apple Watch models, features, and compatibility with various devices. They patiently listened to my requirements and preferences, providing insightful recommendations based on my needs, lifestyle, and budget. Their expertise helped me make an informed decision, ensuring I selected the most suitable Apple Watch. Moreover, the customer service representatives were genuinely passionate about the products they offered. Their enthusiasm and willingness to answer all my questions made the purchasing process both enjoyable and informative. They took the time to explain the watch's functionalities, syncing options, and even provided helpful tips on getting the most out of my new device. What truly impressed me was the personalized attention I received. The staff took the initiative to set up the Apple Watch for me, guiding me through the initial setup and pairing with my iPhone. They also offered to assist with any future queries or technical difficulties I might encounter, providing reassurance that Best Buy is committed to ongoing customer support. In addition to their expertise and personalized service, the staff at Best Buy maintained a high level of professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire transaction.

    Every iPhone owner should have an Apple Watch! It is a great extension of the phone, which I didn't really appreciate until I got this watch. (It does require an iPhone, so don't get it if you aren't sure your next phone will also be an iPhone.) It's so fun to customize the watch face, with almost infinite possibilities. The Series 8 GPS Aluminum (without Cellular) was the Goldilocks model for me. (It can make and receive calls within range of your phone, or if you are on Wi-Fi that your phone has connected to in the past.)

    Fantastic watch! 1. Battery life: It lasts more than one day, that being said, I can charge it during and shortly after the shower and use it day and night, tracking both activities and sleep. 2. Decent brightness: not sure the exact nits, but it’s vivid outdoor in a sunny day for sure 3. Durability: so far it has hit quite a lot of different stuff, no crack screen (minor scratches though) 4. Heat: only right after system update (both charging and processing, I guess)

    After always having an android phone I finally made the switch to Apple. I Love this watch!! It does so much, keeps me informed, wakes me up along with the phone alarm, I can take calls, texts, track my heart and respriration rates, control my audiobooks and even track my sleep which is helping me get a better nights sleep. I also love how i can design my own watch face selecting the apps i want right to see. I have the wi-fi version and it works great for me. What’s not to love, go ahead and buy it!

    I love my apple watch series 8. It's easy to see your phone notifications on it. I can see my phone apps and use them right from my watch. It's definitely an upgrade from my apple watch series 5.
