    This is perfect for my job, exercising, and keeping track of tasks/daily routines. It's extremely convenient, durable, and I have had ZERO issues with it. I would recommend this for anyone, especially though in the health care field!

    Apple Watch Series 8: Your New Best Bud

    Man, this Apple Watch Series 8 is the real deal. The 45mm aluminum case is light but sturdy, and that Midnight color? Super classy. It's not just a pretty face though, this thing is packed with useful features. Calls, texts, workout tracking - you name it, this watch has got it. Plus, the GPS is a life-saver for those of us who are directionally challenged. Long story short, I'm loving this watch and I bet you will too. It's like having a mini personal assistant right on your wrist. Pure magic!

    I purchased this watch for my 19 year old son who had just got his first iPhone. Since he got the 14 Pro Max in Oct. I decided to get him the watch for Christmas. He is loving it. He really likes this watch and all the things it can do/the features.

    This was a great deal for me (($70 off list price), this is the latest Apple Watch and I got it at a great price. Best Buy staff was really knowledgable on the Apple products that they carry, that helped me buy with confidence.

    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

    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.

    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.

    The Apple Watch has performed as presented. No issues with battery life, as I charge when preparing for bed in the evening and while getting going in the morning keeps it fully charged. I wear it even while sleeping to track my breathing. Highly recommend

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!
