It took some getting used to since I don’t wear watches. At first it felt bulky but now I am used to it’s more comfortable. I love that my headphones connect to the watch. I get my calls, messages and emails. Today I activated watch with my cell phone provider so I don’t have to carry my phone when I workout.
It records your fitness goals.
The only odd thing was the battery felt hot on my left wrist when I first started wearing it but felt cool in my right wrist since then.

It was time to upgrade from my series 6. So I opted for the series 8 41mm. Love the new features. I updated the band, of course.

I must say that I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. This watch has exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and I couldn't be happier with it.
First and foremost, the design of the Series 8 is simply stunning. It's sleek, stylish, and looks great on my wrist. The 41mm size is perfect for me, not too big or too small, and the build quality feels top-notch. I love how Apple has paid attention to the details, making it not only a functional device but also a fashion statement.
The addition of cellular connectivity has been a game-changer for me. Being able to leave my phone behind and still stay connected is incredibly convenient. Whether I'm out for a run, running errands, or just want to travel light, having the option to make calls, send messages, and stream music directly from my watch is fantastic.

I like specs and quality of product.The design is sleek and refined, as expected from Apple. The Series 8 feels incredibly well-built, and the materials used exude quality. The always-on Retina display is noticeably brighter and more responsive, making it a joy to use, even in direct sunlight.

I’m coming from a 41mm series 6. Was looking for a cellular model to leave my phone behind sometimes. Purchased this 41mm series 8 but then I saw that the 45mm series 8 was available for an open box deal which costs about the same as a 41mm. I returned this one and got the better deal. Still a great watch to have!

Great features, battery charges VERY quickly with good charge life and band comfort but definitely has its limitations… even though is cellular, only LTE (no 5G service). WiFi network connectivity always wants to default to using randomly changing private MAC address; very limited and inconsistent support for “invisible” SSIDs. MUST be paired w/compatible iPhone, which MUST be left on and connected to internet for full Watch utility. O2 measurement is flaky, not as accurate or consistent as a finger meter. Firmware update process is rather slow given the relatively small size of the OS.
