    I love my new Apple Watch! It is the perfect size. It tracks my sleep and how many steps I take and how long I am standing! The battery life is good! It lasts about a day and half depending on what you do on it I just use it for sleep and time!

    Upgraded and so far I have been happy I made the change. I like the bigger screen, Sleep app and other functions. I can wear my watch close to two days before it needs charged which is great.

    Review of iWatch series 8.

    We love our iWatches. We upgraded from series 3 watches to the series 8 and we love all the new features.We especially like how they interact with our iPhones to enhance features for the iPhone. The only issue was that our salesperson gave me the 45mm watch but the S/M band. I didn’t realize this until I tried to wear my watch and it was too small. I returned to Best Buy the next day but learned that I would need to return the entire watch with all the packaging. An easier solution was to purchase another larger band. That is what I did…

    I just purchased a new phone & decided to go the distance (and get the watch!). I purchased the 45mm series 8 (GPS-non cellular) version and love it. I am a gadget person, so it fits right in with my "hobbies". I thought that a smart watch was the last thing I needed, and perhaps is not needed, but I'm sold on its convenience. I don't miss texts, phone calls, and many other notifications that otherwise were not noticed until much later when I picked up my phone! Now, I don't normally carry my phone everywhere, but work from home, so the phone is on my desk. I can be outside or anywhere in the vicinity and it is an extension of the phone. I've even taken calls on it, but I prefer to use the phone for that. I like the fact that you can select many different clock faces. You can also have this particular model's display on all the time, so you don't have to move your arm in a particular way to get it to come on. Also, there are many different bands and watch protectors to change the look and give the watch some protection against scratches & bumps. I've taken this watch in the pool, and in the ocean (snorkeling) with no issues at all. Finally it can "tell you" your O2 and heartbeat levels, track fitness time & steps and more. I have my watch face setup with my shopping list, email, texts, weather and the option to quickly check my calendar. I also setup another face that can be quickly accessed with a swipe to show an alternate set of icons. I definitely recommend this if you have an iPhone. The Apple sales rep at Best Buy was very helpful in assisting me with each model's differences. I chose this over the SE since it has the "always on" feature. I didn't need the Ultra as it was more money and too large for my wrist. Pic of watch is with Spigen bumper and band

    I’ve been on the sidelines since the introduction of the first Apple Watch Edition. Since I retired I have started biking and recently e-biking which allows me to travel longer distances than ever before. This change in lifestyle is what drove me to giving the Apple Watch a try. I have been pleased with the ability to track my fitness and monitor my health. As someone that has been using the iPhone since its inception, the Apple Watch interface was very easy to learn. The included watch band looks good, but it doesn’t breathe well. I ordered some inexpensive nylon bands sold on Amazon that breathe perfectly fine at a fraction of the cost of the name brand options.

    Love the face size and low profile on my wrist. This is the first time I have worn and Apple Watch and really enjoy the features. The apps are easy to upload and the exercise and sleep tracking is very interesting! Also, th battery life lasts all day so a quick charge before heading to sleep at night I’m able to wear through the night to tracking sleeping.

    Coming from the series 3 this was a huge upgrade. The battery can last over a day with light/moderate usage and charging time isn’t inconvenient to get a decent charge. The extra health features are helpful and I haven’t had any interface issues at all. The display is very crisp and clean. For reference I got the 45mm with the small/medium wristband.

    I love the bigger screen just those few millimeters did make a big difference. I was skeptical at first about the size of the screen debating whether I would like it or not but it fits perfect not to bulky. The wrist band it comes with is super comfortable and goes with the watch perfectly.

    Great looking professional and personal phone, watch, health monitor, computer. The large face allows ease of use for all apps and as a timepiece. I can get rid of nuisance calls on my watch, and take important calls easily when I away from my watch-very useful. Why did I wait so long?

    I’m mainly purchased the Apple Watch 8 because my old one was no longer able to receive updates. This watch exceeded my expectations, it is more reliable and holds a great charge. I love that it tracks all my exercises and keeps me up to date while I am not near my phone.

    So far so good. I wish Apple still made the 44, the 45 seems a little big bigger and was awkward but now I like it. My Apple Watch 6 but the dust so this was the replacement. I am very happy with my new watch
