    I got this as a gift for my wife, and she brags about how much she loves this model almost every day. It’s easy to set up and use, and has so many helpful options and apps. Excellent smart watch, I’d recommend this particular series to anyone!

    Purchased this watch for my wife in July, as of last week the battery would no longer charge above 30%. We took it into Best Buy because we have total tech and they ran diagnostics on it and nothing came up, so we sent it into Apple and they returned it two days later stating they "couldn't replicate the issue." Now it will charge to 100%, but within 4 hours of wearing the watch not even using any of the features such as calls or texts the watch is dead or down to 20%. Went into an Apple store and now my wife had to reset her phone and watch to factory settings not having it set up with any of the settings or layout that she's had on her phone and Apple watches for the last 3 years since that "might be the issue." Which in the past she's had the same settings and has been able to go at least a day and a half before needing to recharge.

    Like the health information it gives. Not as much as an alert system. Watch I would like to have a book to help become familiar with it. I’m a senior citizen.

    I really like the Watch BUT I HATE having to charge it every single day! I don’t have that many apps open for this reason and I still have to charge it every day. My Garmin Fénix would last at least 3-4 days with more apps open.

    Excellent Watch for Walking

    The Apple Watch 8 is an excellent watch for walking. The 41mm face is large enough to see and read the workout data. The timers work accurately. The safety and health features when using the GPS + Cellular model give me peace of mind walking & driving. Easy to customize attractive face designs. Look forward to learning & using all the features. The Starlight color case, face, and band are very attractive.

    Still having fun with my new Apple Watch. Lots of features to learn about. My only disappointment is the color. To call the strap. Gold is a farce. It’s ugly pale mauve. I will be purchasing a new strap.

    It takes a little work to learn the functions important to you - not especially intuitive. Once accomplished, it’s like having health care at your fingertips (or on your wrists . Mimics iPhone well. Gee- it even tells the time!

    The Apple Watch Series 8 is perfect for me. As a senior, I like the convenience and safety of having a phone always handy. The always on display is a definite plus but it can be modified or turned off.
