Customer Ratings & Reviews

i had a hard time understanding how to program the watch.

I use my Apple Watch mainly for notifications from my phone. It's great to get silent "taps" on my wrist whether I'm in a meeting or at church, and the quick text replies are very helpful. I also like the way it works with the map app on my phone to make sure I don't miss a turn. I didn't think I would like the sport band, but it fits my large wrist well. No need to get a replacement. You can't beat the Best Buy price either!

I love apple but the Apple Watch is not for me. I love to change up a lot and this watch was just an expensive gadget for me.

I switched from Android to iPhone in January 2015 and I doubt I'll ever go back. Everything Apple has done so well with iPhone has been brought to the Apple Watch. Somehow, Apple has managed to get almost 2 day battery life from a watch which has a battery 50% smaller than its Android competition. Watch OS (much like iOS) is just that efficient! If you want a watch that doesn't look like you're wearing a tablet on your wrist, then you'll love the two different sizes the Apple Watch comes in. Now, toss in the ability to make and receive audio phone calls on your wrist, and you can see why the Apple Watch is every bit deserving of the hype surrounding it. I love how it gently thumps me on the wrist (not a simple vibration like the cheaply made and overly bulky Android Wear devices) to alert me - along with a chime - that I've received an email, text, or that it's time to stand up to stay fit. When I picked up this watch, I made sure Best Buy wouldn't ding me with a restocking fee should I want to return it. I can tell I'm not going to be returning it. I can't wait to pay for something by tapping my wrist to a check-out stand's tap-and-go terminal. I'm looking forward to Watch OS 2.0 on 9/16/2015 (and iOS 9 on the same day). You can add timely and readily available OS updates to the list of things an Apple Watch can do better than Android Wear. Overall, and in every detail, I much prefer this experience to the haphazard, intermittent performance I endured when wearing an Android device. Way to go, Apple!

Doesn’t last long it suck cheap made and doesn’t work after time

I ordered it online and picked it up today. I had already done my research online and decided on sport space gray with black band which is erroneously listed as "space grey band"! Common Best Buy:) I knew I wanted a new watch and even place an order on Amazon, but quickly realized that I would enjoy an Apple Watch more. I was right. This is another great gadget from Apple that simplifies life even more and I will get hooked in no time. The sync with my iPhone 5S was seamless. I am still learning all the features, but am so glad I went with this this watch vs. Burberry. Initially I was going for stainless steel with the mesh steel band, but I couldn't justify the price. After all these gadgets get upgraded every year and I don't want to get stuck with an outdated gadget which I paid a lot for in 2-3 years. Best Buy had the best price. The watch looks really nice and I love the clear crisp display. Highly recommend it.

I bought this watch when it came out. So far I love it. Light weight, color, and the bands. This watch in particular is the space gray which I get to match with the rest of my Apple stuff I have such iPad, iPhone, and Macbook. I'm also changing the bands constantly to mix and match colors. The battery life is pretty good, it last me almost 2 days depending of the usage but that could vary to anybody. I would totally recommend this watch to anyone.

I love my Apple watch. Bought mine back in May and the more I use it, the more I find it useful. I use it during exercise, it's like a Fitbit on steroids. I've had no problems with battery life. I can get through a typical day (6:30am til midnight) without any problems. The only thing is that after a 3+ hour bike ride, the battery should be charged. I through it on the charger while I shower and get dressed. It's nearly fully charged/refreshed and I go one with my day. The only real negative is that I can't wear it at night to monitor my sleep or use as a silent alarm. All this being said, get it, use it and you'll find that you will be grabbing your phone less to look at time, messages and alerts.

I bough this watch for my husband as a present and the it looks he has very hard time with ut

This is the 2nd Apple Watch I got my boyfriend and both times we had to return it to apple

This watch has all the features I was looking for!

Not as cool I thought. I bought an open box for the Sam price as a new one is now.

I felt like there are better products on the market. In my opinion, just okay.

This watch is slow and really needs to be better. Apple work on it!

As an best buy employee, we tend to buy everything and anything thats new and exciting in the stores... I've had my watch since the first week it came out and it is spectacular. My personal favorite features are, Think of how many times throughout your work or school day you feel your phone vibrate in your pocket and your not sure if it's a text or one of the 100 other notifications it could be, with the apple watch you can glance at your wrist and make a decision on whether its important enough to give it attention or if you can carry on the other work you have. If you're one who has multiple group texts this is especially helpful. The workouts application is an amazing one, this has really helped me keep track and motivate myself to keep pushing even when I don't want to. To sum it up 10/10 recommend from a best buy employee. This will become an everyday and every person technology. Blue shirt tested.... blue shirt approved.

Dirt gets caught along the watch and you have to clean it out all the time

Found the perfect watch face that provides all vital information in a large clear font. Really happy with its features and functionality. Fun setting up and discovering its potential. Viewed the informative videos on the Apple WEB site to further educate myself. Getting it on sales for $100 off MSRP was definitely a deal maker for me. Bought a second one for my better half and he loves it too.

I think Apple miss the boat with this product waiting for the iwatch2

So after some extensive research, I decided to take the plunge and get the Apple Watch Sport. i could not justify the extra $200 for the stainless steel version. Sure it's stainless steel with sapphire glass, but that just didn't make me want to spend an additional $200. Plus, many videos that showed testing the ion glass showed how hard it was to scratch or break. I've been asked on more then one occasion, "why did you get the Apple Watch? ". My answer to them is "to tell time". LOL Actually when I found out how many uses it had, I started to become more interested. My first thought when I heard about it was, that it's just an expensive watch that I will never use. Turns out, I was able to start my car with it, adjust the volume on my hearing aids with it(not all hearing aids are compatible), shop on Amazon with it (browse only. Need iPhone to buy), track my steps with it, send text messages, and answer phone calls. Also, I misplace my phone a lot. While they do not have "Find my iPhone" app on the watch, they do have an indicator on there to tell you if the phone is out of range. So if I'm on my way to work and I get this sudden feeling I forgot my phone at home, I only need to look at my wrist to see it still has a connection to my phone. Beats digging through my purse. I've used that feature numerous times. If it still has a connection, you know it's within 30 feet of you. Right now I am limited to the people I can send drawings or my heart beat to, to my sister and my boss. Obviously, I'm not sending those to my boss, so it's only my sister. That's not a big draw back though because we hardly ever use it. Kind of a pain to use in fact. The heart beat doesn't always work right. You end up sending pulses instead of heart beats. The drawing is awkward. You try drawing in a small screen with your finger. Anyway, there are tons of other uses and they keep increasing. The new OS update has improved performance a bit too. If you are Leary about purchasing first gen, I don't blame you. I normally don't either but I wanted to use it for all the things I listed above. Now that I have it, I don't see going without it. That's weird considering I NEVER wore a watch before I got the Apple Watch. I didn't even wear bracelets. The speaker phone could use some work though. It's OK, but a bit heard to hear. Then again, you may not want it super loud.

Terrible customer service at Best Buy in Central Ave Yonkers location. Gave me a defective iwatch and denied helping me when I went to the store. I will never shop from Best Buy again. Save yourself some time and buy it directly from Apple. Unprofessionals.
