    I love the color and the big screen. It’s been really convenient having it on at work that way I don’t have to get my phone every time.

    This watch has a way better battery life than my series 4 did. I’m also glad I went for this one with the tougher glass too. My aluminum version couldn’t handle scratches at all, but this one can take scrapes like a champ.

    I upgraded to series 8 from series 2 but it was totally worth it! There isn’t much difference other than the newer model is slimmer. I love the gold as it pairs nicely with my bracelets and jewelry

    My first Apple Watch

    So I originally got this on September 24th after pre ordering and waiting for it to ship but i had to return it the day i got it in the mail. It arrived with a tiny nick in the stainless steel right where it meets the top of the screen. I returned it to the store that day and exchanged it for the exact same one and chose In Store Pickup so i could check it myself. I was supposed to pick it up the following Friday Sept 30th but received an email Thursday September 29th that it was ready for pickup. I had to wait all day until i got off from work to get it. I went and picked it up, checked it to make sure it was in perfect condition ( and it was), got home and it was all set up and ready to use within 15 minutes, setup was super easy, i unnecessarily stressed my self out thinking set up would be hard, i just need to set up cellular on it but ive already done a few workouts on it, used the ECG app, blood oxygen and heart rate apps so far.

    I have had this watch for a year now, and love it! This watch goes in the pool with me, and is worn every day in a wide range of work and play situations, from office work to machine service work and everything in between. The features of the Apple Watch are well known by now, but my favorite features are notification of messages and calls when my phone is on silent (always), weather at a quick glance, and time zones of others I deal with in business. The heart rate information, fall detection, and other features are also reassuring, but I hope not to really need them. The appearance of the stainless case and slim braided band makes a nice impression and I am surprised at how durable the crystal is. I have smacked my watch into walls and brushed against things that would have scratched or broken a lesser time piece, but the watch still looks brand new. The only con, and this is a very small point, is that the band can loosen up sometimes in trying situations, like removing a heavy leather jacket or other situations where the watch is stressed a bit. It is super easy to just tighten it back up, but that is really my only issue. Outstanding product.

    Graphite Stainless Steel Apple Watch Series 8

    I have owned and worn this watch for about 3 weeks now. I am really happy with it so far. I used to think the aluminum case was just fine and the extra $$ cost for the stainless steel case was not worth the expense, but I have changed my mind. It does not seem as prone to scratches and general wear as the less expensive aluminum case. Although I do not plan to connect the Watch to my wireless carrier, it is one good looking watch and I am happy I chose the graphite color. It also blends well with all colors. I expect the Watch to last and provide dependable service for the amount of the investment.

    Replaced a series 4 and I can’t believe how much the two models differ. Pros: 1mm may not seem like a lot, but the larger screen makes a real difference; battery life; health apps - big one here as the watch, like so many folks say, helps you monitor your fitness; gold plating ss is a welcome styling option. Cons: not cheap: mesh metal Apple watch strap (bundled with purchase) isn’t very secure; limited aftermarket options as watch bands gold appliqués aren’t available (yet). If you haven’t upgraded in a while, you should - it is that much better than previous iterations.

    I work in an office during the week and am a DIYer on weekends. I needed a watch that would look nice but also handle the constant movement of a sander/mower as well. I bought this watch because it was stainless steel but pretty, too. Love It!

    I love this watch that I bought for myself. I really like to updated features vs the Series 5, and the fact is is stainless steel. I am naturally hard on watches and this one really holds up to anti-scrathes and dings.
