    This Apple Watch is so wonderful if you think of upgrading to another Apple Watch this is the one my watch is so big and it’s so fast and it has lots of technology. I don’t even know they had. I would recommend buying this product. This is the best product I’ve ever received. Best Buy in Apple has really stepped up their game this year. I am thankful for buying this under Best Buy for nice and low price

    Upgraded from Series 5 (Purchased '19), Worth It!

    This is my second Apple watch (my first, being a Series 5 which lasted a little over four years), and I can't say enough good things about it. I do believe that some features of the watch, for my own personal use, are not utlized to their full potential. For daily exercise (dog walks, runs, elciptal workouts...) it is outstanding at tracking and helps me keep to my fitness goals. The ring completions are fun and addicting, and have been enjoying completing my rings each day. Be aware though, if you are prone to OCD, you'll have a need to complete your rings each day... however, it does keep you on track with your own goals. The newest edition to the lineup has been fantastic, offering wonderful screen clarity and battery life that lasts me from wake-up (7am) to bedtime (11pm) with plenty of juice left. My only complaint, similar to the series 5, is when jogging with long sleeves (or hoodie), the touch screen can swap screens or go to other pages due to the heat / touch enabled screen. This is a VERY minor critism though, and might be something I can address with altering settings. Apple won me over in 2017 in the mobile market, and I'll be purchasing smartwatches (and phones) from the company for life (unless they decide to pull a Boeing ;) ).

    Nice watch if you're in the Apple eco system. Setup is easy, everything just kind of shows up and works as you'd expect. If you need to reset, that's just as easy, pair with your phone again and all data just goes back on if you'd like. The alarm functionality I like a lot better than with the phone. It's a gentle and unjarring wake up, sometimes too gentle. Changing watch bands can be difficult, but luckily I haven't dialed emergency services yet. If you hold the side button (not the crown) it brings up SOS and often times I'll end up holding that button while trying to get the band unhooked. Press the button again and it goes away. The screen does scratch pretty easy. I got some cheap covers from Amazon that work good enough I use at work. It does however hold up quite well. It ended up sliding across the asphalt maybe 20 feet, and while its got a ton of micro scratches, and it did crack under the top layer, it's still been very functional. If you're prone to knocking it around and wanting to wear it while doing physical work, I'd suggest the Apple care. I've noticed that after having this watch for 11 months as of this writing, the silicone band does stretch over time. Mildly annoying as for my wrist the 3rd hole from the inside of the band was snug enough but not too snug. The second hole was very snug. As of late the third hole is now quite loose and it will often times think I've taken it off and lock. The second hole is still a little snug, but I've come to accept it for now as having to unlock the watch all the time was getting old. My battery life has been superb. Always on display, I get a good days of charge. I charge at night while showering and put back on before bed for sleep tracking/alarm in the morning. Wear all day and can usually finish the day, 24 hours from when it last when on the charger with 10-20% remaining. I've yet to have to charge mid day before when I typically charge. I work as a delivery driver, so frequently moving around throughout the day. Battery health says 97% yet. With all that said, good buy, and now with the 10 out, if you can snag a new 9 on discount, it's a fantastic buy.

    I’ve been using the Apple Watch for a few months now, and I can confidently say it’s become an essential part of my daily routine. Whether I’m tracking my workouts, staying on top of notifications, or just checking the time, the Apple Watch makes everything easier and more efficient.

    I’ve loved the Apple Watch since it’s come out. It’s the only watch I can wear. I cause analog watches to tick backwards. I love the larger screen. I don’t like that the keyboard is smaller than the 6’s keyboard. My fat fingers cannot use it at all. I love the snoopy face. The battery: I can wear this watch all day and the next before needing a charge. Overall I’d buy it again.

    Bought to Replace Apple Watch 5

    I was planning to purchase the Apple Watch 9 this spring, but a face plant of my Apple Watch 5 that cracked the screen and the threat of Apple removing the O2 sensor functionality from the Apple Watch 9 (due to a law suit) forced my purchase in January. Fortunately, I was able to secure a watch with a functional O2 sensor and I got it on sale (saving $75), so I considered that to be a win. The watch is everything I expected based on my experience with my old Apple Watch, so I am very satisfied. The only real complaint I have is with the service I received in the store when I inquired about the availability of the watch with a functional O2 sensor. I told the customer service rep that the website showed a watch available and that I wanted to know if it had the functional O2 sensor. I was told that the website always shows an available watch but that there were no more Apple Watches in the local warehouse due to the rush of people buying the ones with the O2 sensor. This seemed a little suspect to me, so I went ahead and purchased the watch on the app and picked it up at the same store about 3 hours later. After setting up the watch at home I was able to confirm that the O2 sensor was functional, so I'm glad that I ignored the "advice" of the customer service rep and made the purchase.

    The Apple Watch really is unmatched in the smart watch arena. Extremely well built, amazing features, really cool animations, presentation, haptics, etc. I can't recommend it enough. Only thing I noticed was the watch band wiggles/isn't completely snug when slid into the slots of the watch. There is some movement and play to it, but not a huge deal when it is on your wrist.

    Apple Watch 9 is a great choice for keeping track of my fitness activities, sleep history and for taking calls when my phone is not nearby. I traded in a series 5 Apple Watch because I wanted to get the oximeter and the cycling workout features. The watch is an essential part of my well being in so many ways.

    The Apple Watch is one of the most polished and versatile smartwatches available. It combines sleek design, strong build quality, and a seamless integration with the iPhone. Its strengths include: Health & Fitness: Accurate heart-rate monitoring, ECG, sleep tracking, and activity rings that keep users engaged. Smart Features: Quick notifications, calls, Apple Pay, and Siri make it a true wrist companion. Design & Comfort: Lightweight, customizable with bands, and comes in multiple sizes and finishes. Performance: Fast, smooth, and continually updated with new features via watchOS. The downsides are battery life (typically 1–2 days) and reliance on an iPhone (not ideal for Android users). Verdict: If you own an iPhone and want a powerful mix of fitness tracking, health features, and smart connectivity, the Apple Watch is hard to beat.

    I was always skeptical about getting a smart watch. A lot of my coworkers have the Apple Watch and they love them. So I decided to try it out myself and I am not disappointed. Works great for a variety of things. Big help with my busy life style as well when it’s not always convenient to pull out your phone.

    Screen size was just what I needed. Everything you’d expect from an Apple Watch. Silicone side covers recommended! Saved me already from multiple drops on hardwood/concrete. About a day and a half battery life which is sufficient. Just charge overnight and you’re good. Do it!

    It has officially been a year since I have owned this and I can genuinely say my only issue is the screen on this one feels more delicate that the screens on apples other apple watches. I have a few scratches on my screen from what? I have no clue I go to work and come home lol but that's my only complaint. Battery life is great. It is just as useful as any of the other apple watches.

    Greatest Apple Watch to date! The double tap feature is so useful on the go. Hopefully they integrate it more as the software develops. Super fast processor, great battery with fast charging (I charge almost every other day), It’s totally worth the upgrade if you’re coming from a series 7 or later!

    Great watch. My previous watch was the 2nd generation SE. I thought I was satisfied with my previous watch, but having the 9 series is surpassing my expectations. It’s faster, more accurate, and the watch screen size is amazing. Definitely recommend.

    Good for counting swimming laps

    Works perfectly well, and looks like new. Is like if you have a small iPhone on your wrist. I use it to count swim laps, and for that, is quite good, but not perfect. It misses to count about 1-5% of the workout, but even the other most sporty brand does. I haven’t try this in open water, I am afraid it will come off. But yeah, I like it.

    I really didn’t pay attention to the size when I was purchasing, and honestly was a little surprised when I realized it was much bigger than my old one, but I love it! Scrolling and navigating the apps is way easier!

    This is my first Apple watch, and I absolutely love it. It is easy to read text and numbers as I can adjust the size to meet my needs. It's also making me more aware of when I need to move so is helping me to be more physically fit.
