    Use it all the time. we use it to challenge each other weekly with the fitness app. Now are competing against other Apple Watch wearers. It’s a blast. Got a big house so the Walkie Talkie has been getting use also. Real easy to start and stop apps at the gym or anywhere real. Had great service at Best Buy when getting them. Answered all our questions and it happened that they were $50 cheaper there than anywhere else at the time. Would recommend the wrap around clear cover also. Very happy and would recommend! Marty

    I had an Apple Watch 5 and I wondered if I should upgrade to Apple’s new model. My old watch was keeping pace with the software update. After a couple of months - I’m glad I bought it, if only because of the battery. I never used the sleep tracking function because my battery had to charge all night. Now because of the length of charge and the pace of recharge, I can recharge my watch in the hour after I wake up. To me, it’s been worth it.

    I’ve had this watch for awhile now and it has a whole lot of awesome features that have come in handy more than once, especially the health app features that help me monitor my heart and warn me when it’s too high. Also I love the walkie talkie feature and the battery life is always great.

    I had bought a low-end Garmin watch to map swims at the beach. It works, but figuring out which buttons to push took considerable effort, and is still a nuisance. Apple Watch's ability to provide health warnings make it a logical purchase for older people who may be prone to falls and strokes. And its GPS tracking is easier to use. I've used it on and off, not liking its occasional notifications (need to turn off the New York Times). Also not quite liking using it while pruning shrubs or other outdoor activities that could possibly scratch the glass. But the 8 comes across as quite good, and I'm happy to have gotten the 45 mm size. I don't have large hands, but it is comfortably lightweight. The standard rubbery band seems very secure (no pins to break) but takes a bit of practice to get on and off easily.

    The smart watch is really cool, only as a complementary item for a fit life style, it can help you to keep a track on every single thing you do, wich will help to have a better control over your exercise routine. As a recommendation, i’ll say get a screen protector for it, so you don’t get any scratch on the screen, remember that is on your wrist and it could easily happen.

    I love the look and size of my Apple Watch Series 8. I love all of the different watch faces to choose from on the Apple Watch app and the watch charger works great. The watch paired with my Apple phone very quickly. I’m a very happy customer. I Love my new watch!

    I had the series 3 watch since it first came out and I needed to upgrade my phone so I decided to upgrade my watch as well. It’s a great watch just like my series 3 was. It’s better in a few ways because you can feel the vibration when you get a notification unlike with the series 3. The screen is much better and it reacts quicker to the touch. I love the color of the watch it’s very vibrant. I didn’t get cellular this time because I barely used it with my old watch but as long as the phone is within range you can answer and make calls. The only con is the battery on mines doesn’t seem to last longer than a day and a half at the most.

    I’m in love with my new watch! Stylish and very easy to use, keep up with my messages and phone calls, I totally recommend if you work in a place where you can’t have your phone with you. The photo was when I purchased at the store and couldn’t wait to try it on lol Te only thing they could improve is the battery life, it doesn’t last long.

    I absolutely LOVE this Apple Watch! It does everything I want it to. I wear it everyday and love how it actually calculates my steps and workouts properly. I also track my menstrual cycle. This even tracks your heart rate! Love all of the features and I don’t remember what I did before this watch!

    Nice watch. I’m using for a while now and I love it. Very comfortable and useful when driving. All tracking sensors easily detect your health condition, sleeping behavior and heart rates. You can respond calls and messages. App Store is awesome you can watch YouTube on your watch and browsing websites if your phone far away from you :) with WatchTube app and uBrowser enjoy.

    The last Apple Watch that I bought was a series one. I wore it until it became obsolete, then discarded it and didn’t wear another one until this one. While it feels familiar, it is a vast upgrade. Side note - I love how the bands haven’t changed so I can use old ones with the new watch. That’s not something I can usually give credit to Apple on.

    I upgraded from a series 5 to the series 8 and while the 5 was a good watch the 8 is much better. It has great battery life and it doesn't take long to fully charge, only about 30 to 45 minutes. It fits good on the wrist so you can wear it all day. It's a fantastic smartwatch for an upgrade or for a first time apple watch buyer.

    It’s amazing how much of a difference having a fully smart watch vs a semi smartwatch has in the way you carry out your day. Coming from Garmin, which I wanted to use just when exercising, the Apple Watch is a game changer. Would love for it to have longer battery, however, it does charge pretty fast. Also, I’m actually able to sleep with this vs my old garmin (vivoactive4)
