    Love my new Apple Watch upgraded from series 4, and originally series 1. The improvements are substantial in the battery life, texting, sound quality and overall feel of the watch! Would highly recommend

    Feels like a solid upgrade from a Series 6 due to the bigger screen, new sensors, and a surprisingly dark color. Some have said that Midnight has a hint of blue, but I see it as a deep black. The larger screen allows for scaled up interface.

    I own Garmin Fenix smart watch for many years and that thing is indestructible. Recently I bought Apple Watch and I was very impressed by the quality and functionality. I like the features that you can talk through the watch. I like the health related features such as ekg, loud noice notifications, heart rate monitoring, and oxygen monitoring. The thing that I don’t like is the constant need to charge the watch. For example I need to charge my Garmin once a week but Apple Watch almost every day. I know there is low power mode but the battery life should be better at least good for 3 days or so. Another thing, after just a few days I scratched the screen. After that incident I bought a screen protector and don’t have to worry about the screen anymore. Please buy a screen protector.

    Bought this a a birthday gift for my adult daughter. Of course I had to try it on after she opened it. Even though my wrists are on the thin side, the bigger 45mm screen is great. Much better than the Series 6 with the 40mm screen that I wear.

    I bought this watch for my Grandson’s Graduation present. He loves it because he works out and he can track his time, heart rate at the same time. Also its water proof. He is very happy with his new watch

    Love the watch overall-disappointing that the watch band and color of the watch was hard to match. I had to settle for a band that was too big to get the Starlight. But other than that very happy with the purchase once I got a band that fit

    Love how this watch looks and feels. It’s a great purchase in my opinion, the only thing I wish was better is it’s battery life. It last me less than 2 days. I bought this watch so I could track my sleep and I can really only sleep with it for one night before needing to charge it. My boyfriend has the biggest and most expensive version of the Apple Watch, and even he charges his every night too. If you don’t mind taking it off every night to charge, then it’s totally fine!

    We bought the Apple Watch because I have been having issues with AFib. This tracks my heart beats per minute so I can realize when I am in AFib. I get an immediate reading when I need it and tells me when I need help.

    The best purchase to make my life easier when it comes to work, when it comes to work my hands are full, which makes it difficult for me to pick up the phone and answer it. but that's over when I had my apple watch

    I was hesitant if I needed a gadget for $400 but since I started working out again I wanted a reliable way to track my heart rate. Let me tell you I was not disappointed - small things make the watch a very smart purchase. The build quality is excellent, the software is well designed and easy to use. I love the notifications on my wrist, now I don't end up doing nothing for minutes at a time on my phone after checking my notifications there. One thing I have against it is the placement of the crown button. Every time you bend your wrist backwards like when doing push-ups, the top of your hand will trigger its emergency mode (wearing it on left wrist). Battery life is pretty sad too but you get used to it.

    I didn’t feel the need to buy the latest watch so I got the series 8. Coming from a series 5, this is a solid upgrade. Better battery life, connection and customizability has definitely improved.

    Bought a 40mm series 4 watch a couple years ago until it recently cracked on me. The 45mm is bigger but also better. Texts, calls, apps work so good! Definitely recommend this for any iphone/Apple lovers!

    blends well with the apple environment and works well with iphone, ipad mac...etc..... I usually charge my watch during my morning wakeup routine, taking about 45 minutes and don't have to recharge till the next day.

    Watch is great. It’s an Apple. But after paying $400, I had to ask for a bag. Was told it was an extra 10 cents. Literally. Ummm…..black people really are not comfortable walking out of stores carrying electronic items without a bag.

    This is my 4th Apple watch and the best one to date. Larger size, screen stays on option, more features that were not available in my Apple watch 4th generation. Only negative battery has to be charged daily.
