    This is one of the best investments I could have ever made. I never miss a call now due to my phone being located in the other room. I love the fact that Siri finally understands me very well via my watch. I can change my look at any time by purchasing other watch bands which I have done. This watch is assume. And I never miss an event, important email, credit card charge or reminders. I can go on and on. I LOVE IT!

    The Apple Watch is a great piece of tech that has no real use. I love getting all of my notifications to my wrist so that I can see all messages without getting out my phone. It helps at work to have discrete notifications that I can check without getting my phone out of my pocket. I like being able to answer my phone from my wrist when holding my phone would be impossible. All of this is to say that it's features are great and I love what it does, but it is not a necessity. I've owned multiple fitbits (flex, force, and surge) and the fitness tracking on the Apple Watch is right on par with Fitbit. I haven't noticed a difference in step counts or activity levels. I've owned it for over a month and it shows no signs of wear at all. It remains a beautiful device exactly like it was on day 1. Bottom Line: if you have the money and would like to receive notifications on your wrist and track your fitness, this device will delight you.

    The default apps are great. I love seeing my schedule and messages without getting my phone out of my pocket. The activity tracker is motivational for me, but the heart rate monitor may not be as accurate as a chest strap especially when doing arm and upper body exercises. The stand reminder works well for me (6'1" male) but tells my 5'2" wife to stand at 10 til the hour even if she spent the prior 30 minutes on her feet. I don't know that height difference is the cause, but it's the primary difference between my wife and me. Third party apps are hit or miss especially if they are not Watch OS 2 optimized. Even with the issues and wife and I both love our Apple Warches.

    So far I've enjoyed my Apple Watch. Battery life is more than enough to get me through the day (I usually wear it from 7am-10pm, with about 50% remaining). It is comfortable and easy to use. The feature i like most is being able to feel (and see) text message and other notifications on the go, without checking my phone. I also appreciate the pedometer and other health tools, I find that it encourages me to be more active throughout the day. I'm still learning how to get the most out of the other features.

    If you have an iPhone this is the only wearable for you. I had multiple pebbles, which are great devices, but none work as well as the apple watch. I never lose Bluetooth connection between the devices (something that happens frequently with the Pebble) and love getting notifications on my wrist. Battery life is good, depending on use i easily get 1-2 days out of mine. Best wearable on the market for ios users, can't wait to see where the watch goes from here!

    The Apple watch is, I think, very stylish and beautifully crafted. To be a bit outlandish and in an attempt to be youthful, which for an octogenarian is more hope than reality, I chose the orange band and silver/aluminum case. It looks good and is cheerful. The watch does tell time with various faces that can be selected and also displays a second time zone and the date. The apps that are on one's iPhone can be put on the watch and started on the watch. You can accept and make telephone calls on the watch. The sound quality is good and there is no need to have the watch particularly close to your mouth when speaking. For example, when on my bicycle I can take calls without the need to take the iPhone out of a pocket and hold it, just keep on cycling. Emails can be checked. If in a meeting and an email comes in you can select some predetermined responses with one click, like "busy, call you later" etc. You can check your stocks, the weather, etc. Long emails are still best read on the iPhone and some have to be read on the phone. The IPhone has to be within about 20' for the watch to be in contact with it. The battery seems to be good for about two days. A magnetic charger is provided. I did apply an "Insten" screen protector on the watch's face to protect it, sold by best Buy for about $5. There is much I still need to know to exploit all it can do, but so far I like it.

    Easy to use and set up . Particularly easy given that we had an authorized Apple dealer visiting our house at the time it arrived. Even without him, it was relatively straightforward. It worked right out of the box and looks great. I'd recommend the watch to even low tech users.

    It's a nice watch, but I'm not too impressed by it. My husband had the Samsung gear watch first and, after playing around with his, I expected the Apple Watch to be soooo much better. It does have some nice features like the heart rate monitor, calories burned counter, and easy access to calls/texts if you're not within reach of your phone. However, the Samsung watch is much better (bigger and cheaper) so I would not recommend this to anyone unless you just want it to say you have it. If the price drops to say $99-199, then sure, go for it. Until then, I'd pass.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I bought this watch for my wife! She knows how much I love mine. The Apple iWatch is the "Must have" if your life is constantly moving. It's great for fitness, music & social life; but, it's even better, for individuals on the run, who need to respond quickly and stay informed, while functioning like you did, prior to Smart Phones. It's all on your wrist! I Highly recommend the iWatch to everyone!

    Great watch! It does what I need it to do and more. If you are in the iOS ecosystem, then this watch is a perfect fit. Keep in mind, that is the first gen, more features will come in second, third, and so on. However, for the first gen it delivers on it promise. Please check all the features before you buy, so you know what you are getting.

    Great add-on to the Iphone. Great price while on sale. My battery life on my phone has 'improved' as I am not looking at every notification. I can choose when to use the phone/watch etc. Activity monitoring is good, and adds visual stimulation to getting up and moving. If you have the money, def worth it.

    Great watch, just like all Apple products. Easy to setup and I was using it before I left the store. I have since purchased additional bands in different colors so I change it out to match my wardrobe.

    More useful than I imagined

    Apple Watch, while a bit of an extravagance, has become more useful than I expected. Calendar notifications, who's calling or texting, and tracking workouts are the functions I Find most useful. Apple wallet works well when you can use it. Having my rewards card come up as a notification is a nice perk. Not having to fumble with my phone when boarding a flight is just brilliant. It would be super if the battery could make it through 2 full days - about 1 1/2 with normal usage. It charges pretty fairly fast so this isn't a big drawback.

    Bought this for myself as a birthday present. I like the color of the band. I like how I can find my phone if I misplaced it. I'm not sure how accurate the heart monitor is but it's just okay. Not that many cool features but it does the job.
