    Don't buy an apple watch

    Let me start off by saying I love apple products. I have an iPhone, iPad, and a MacBook but I absolutely hated the Apple Watch. I own a Fitbit as well and the Fitbit is simple and does everything you need it to do. I purchased the Apple Watch because it's supposed to have more exercising features than the Fitbit. While this is true it also has very annoying features. It buzzes all the time. And not only does it give you notifications that you get on your phone, your phone is sitting right next to you because the Apple Watch doesn't work if your phone isn't by you. So when you want to go for a run or go to the gym you have to bring your phone with you. Makes no sense. The exercise features on the watch are okay but I would gladly recommend the Fitbit over an Apple Watch. I gave the Apple Watch two weeks before I returned it but had to stop wearing it a week later because it was so annoying. Do not get the Apple Watch.

    Since it's the only Apple Watch out there you kind of a short on selection. It will be years before its perfected. But for what it t is... It's ok.

    It's ok if you thrive off the Apple hype. This product needs more tuning and refinement with features that mean something. This doesn't have it.

    Not all the features are useful. Maybe 2-3 generations will be needed before Apple makes everything useful.

    I didnt really find a need for it. I ended up returning it 3 days later. It's not great nothing really spectacular about it. It does everything my iPhone can do.

    I really hate the text option where you have to speak into the watch to text someone. I think this watch is way over priced for what you get

    I had been debating weather or not to purchase an apple watch since they came out. When best buy had them on sale, I went for it! I am so glad I did, I got the rose gold and bought a midnight blue band and it looks great together!! I love all of the functions and capabilities but also the simplicity of it. The only thing I wish the battery lasted a little longer, my husbands fitbit surge lasts several days.

    Love my Apple Watch

    This thing is about function and bringing so many of the iPhone assets to a whole new level of use. Having said that, yes, it is beautiful, yes, it is a work of art, and yes, I am somewhat in awe of the complexity of it on the first day, but, I am going to get a lot of enjoyment and benefit by using this thing. I literally did not think I had it on and had to look at my wrist to see that it was strapped on. It is that light. It also has the Sport band which is about the best thing on my skin since skin itself, literally, it is that comfortable a product. We will have to see in the summer about the heat factor but that is a ways off. Screen is incredibly perfect as well and very easy to touch the right icon, at least for me. Now, as to functions, let's just say that this might take some time, as in learning a new language... well, not really, but maybe learning a new slang usage of a familiar term, each day, for a while... I will be content in doing just that, a little at a time and perhaps one or two a day, looking to get the apps and functions mastered a little at a time. It is going to take a while and I am going to enjoy it and be content with not letting "my eyes be bigger than my stomach" so to speak. Wish each of you a Merry Christmas and don't look back on this purchase - it is the best $300 or so I have spent in quite a while.

    Thank goodness Best Buy has the great sale. The Husband got it for me for Christmas. I asked for it because it was on sale and a couple of coworkers had it. I love the activity app on it. It is darn hard to get your calorie burn for the day. At 11,000 steps it say you burned 514 calories so far. That seems a little not accurate. Other than that I love the watch. I also wear a Fitbit so I think the Calorie on it is more accurate than the Apple Watch.

    It's awesome

    I love it! The features that it does have are great, however wish it had more capabilities like being a little standalone, being able to check emails and not just see you have one, voice dictation a little better , being able to receive notifications while its using gps(automatically does it when you use maps) . These are the bigger things. The smaller stuff I can deal with. Other than that I purchased on sale and I LOVE that I got the watch that I want for a awesome price . Everyone likes a bargain!

    After 90 days I can't live without it

    When I first got the watch I wondered for the first two weeks. After 90 days I can't live without it. Why? Fitness - it just works while in your wrist. Messages - I reply quickly without needing to pull my phone out. And I use voice to dictate messages and it is really, really good at understanding my voice. Lastly I am constantly going to new locations for my job. As I drive there it vibrates when I need to turn Etc. I never miss a turn, or a direction . Plus lots of other awesome tools. Get one and you will understand!
