    Buy this watch, but turn off always on display

    Very happy with this watch. The sleep tracking system is very useful. The always on display takes the battery life down very quickly. But with it turned off, I can get about 36 hours of wear time.

    A great smart watch

    This is my first smart watch and it’s certainly lived up to the height. I got this advanced version to help monitor my heart health and exercise. I have been fairly amazed at how accurately it tracks most functions such as what exercise I am doing and the number of steps I take. It can also take EKGs and heart rate, which can be given to a doctor etc. My doctors have still opted to perform an EKG in office, so I am unsure if the significance of offering an EKG in the watch. I like the amount of control the watch gives me to view only the notifications I want to see. This watch is an easy recommend.

    like I said on the title, this is my first apple watch and coming from a Galaxy watch I was a little worried I wouldnt be able to adapt to a new werable OS, so far its been a fantastic experience, the watch its easy to use, battery life is really good with 2+ days on a single charge with moderate use on the watch, recieving calls and making calls are loud and clear (love the walkie talkie to talk to my wife), pedometer is accurate,being able to download songs and pairing earbus for runs it's a great plus for me and so far it's showing no signs of scratches to the screen or frame for every day use for work and gym. Must say apps and Face Gallery still needs a lot of more options and customization compared to other brands, other than that the watch is a great addition for an Iphone user.

    Bought this as a gift for my girlfriend. And she loves it. The big screen and being able to track her apple fitness plus work outs. I feel like she’s more motivated to work out now just so she can see her rings light up

    Detected a fib. I probably would have waited too long to see the doctor had I not had this. I would have chalked it up to being out of shape. Also,Great fitness tracker and enables me to listen to music when working out without needing to carry my cell phone.

    Exceeds all of my expectations. The size was perfect on the wrist. The screen is beautiful and it has all of the bells and whistles that you would expect from Apple. I upgraded from a watch 3 and this is day and night. Battery life is fantastic!

    I love how large the screen is allowing me to actually see the functions and apps. Connected to my phone easily and has helped me achieve my fitness goals with the inbuilt apps that easily track my steps and workouts. As someone whose always on the go and getting work-related calls this has been a huge helper as I don’t need to constantly take out my phone I can just answer right away through the Apple Watch. Overall it’s a very stylish and worthy investment/product that can help make day to day tasks efficient.

    Still use the watch to this day and works fine. The only reason it’s one star off is because the band left rashes on me around my wrist. But changed the band out from ones from Amazon so it’s all good now.

    A decent watch with a lot of features

    I've had this watch for a few weeks, so I'm still getting used to it. I love the integration with my iPhone. I walk a lot and listen to podcasts and music. The watch gives me a great interface with those applications. I also like the sleep-tracking feature. This feature was one of the reasons I chose this watch. It's been eye-opening to discover my sleep habits. I understand the watch could be off, but it even accounting for that, it's been very helpful. It's comfortable and light. Being a bit water-resistant helps because I'm often caught in the rain. I don't have to worry about damaging it if it gets wet. All in all, I'm happy with it. The only issue I have is the battery life is limited. I have to charge it every day. At least it charges quickly.

    Wow! I love my Apple Watch 8! I'm 73 and purchased it for the health and exercise tracking features since I work out a lot (elliptical, rowing machine, indoor/outdoor biking, x-country running, etc.) and this watch paired with my iPhone, tracks not just time and distance, but shows path mapping and voluminous metrics related to energy expenditure and health factors including heart, breathing, walking and even sleep. I am ecstatic about this watch and am extremely happy I got it. It even helps with healthy tips and promotes mindfulness: I call it AppleMom as it is more than just a watch, it has become a valuable partner in my journey to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    The Best Watch & a Great Best Buy Deal

    I've been through a lot of smartwatches over the years, from Pebbles to Garmins to Fitbits. I've always stayed away from Apple because of cost, battery life, and lack of always-on display on affordable models. I tried the Apple Watch SE, and it was nice, but having to turn on the display every time after years of always-on displays was just something I couldn't get used to, so I sold it and went back to Fitbit. But I missed all the other Apple Watch features! So I finally decided to pay for a display model of the Series 8, and I'm so glad I did. Of course I'd like longer battery life, but it charges pretty quickly, and I'm finding I can wear it all day and wear it to bed with just one 20-minute charge at some point in the morning or evening, so it works fine with my routine.

    I had the Apple Watch 3, so this AW 8 is a great upgrade. Batteries lasts just longer, and a fast recharger time too. Mine has about 60% left at the end of the day. Bigger screen and love the fall and crash detection as a safety net.

    The Apple Watch has been a game-changer for me. I was against smartwatches of all kinds for the longest time until I started to get more involved in the medical community. Since then I've started to see significant benefits of being able to track all sorts of medical metrics. This wearable technology is innovation in the right direction, and although I understand the concerns of many with tracking, and big brother, I think for the current moment the pros of this item outweigh the cons. If anyone is on the fence about purchasing a Series 8, dive in and I can promise you won't regret it. (Pro Tip: Charge it while you shower and you'll be fully charged by the time you get out)

    I was absolutely thrilled when my thoughtful sibling gifted me the Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS) 45mm on my birthday! This watch has quickly become my ultimate sidekick. Its elegant design and comfortable fit make it a fashion statement on my wrist, and I'm in awe of its capabilities. The health and fitness tracking features are a game-changer for me, helping me stay active and mindful of my well-being. With the convenience of checking messages and calls on my wrist, it's like having a personal assistant everywhere I go. I can't thank my sibling enough for this incredible gift that has truly added convenience, style, and so much more to my life!
