    I'd been looking for a multi tasking watch for a while. I had pretty demanding criteria besides just telling time. I wanted to keep track of my workouts, have a heart rate monitor without wearing a strap, and have access to my apps. It does all of this and more. The only cons I see with this watch are that it is not fully waterproof,I have to charge it overnight and the battery goes through a charge pretty quickly. Other than those things I love the way it looks and all that it offers.

    I was on the fence with this purchase. I had the Pebble Time Steel and the Original Pebble Steel, and they were OK. The battery life was the only plus, But when it comes to functionality and usefulness Apple Watch wins hands down every time. I was looking for something that would give my calendar notifications even when the phone isn't connected, Apple watch does that! With the new watchOS2 its even better with the wifi connect for notifications. As developers start incorporating more of the new features apple watch is sure to get better and better. Battery life is good to. I'm not constantly playing on the watch but use it a good bit through the day. It easily makes 18 hours plus. in fact as I'm writing this review, I have had the watch on since 6:00am this morning it is not 6:00pm and i still have 66% on my Apple Watch. It truly is more useful than you would think. I only gave four stars for one reason and that is battery life. I hope future version will get a few days. It truly hasn't been an issue thus far, I simply charge it each night, but it would be nice to get sleep tracking out of this device, Then I could ditch my Fitbit.

    Wife bought this for my Christmas/B-day present, and all i have to say is it's an awesome gadget. The fit is amazing, better than what i anticipated. Display is nice and bright, and the set up was a breeze. Receiving e-mails, notifications and even phone calls on your watch is awesome. So far, it integrates with most of my apps i have on my iphone. The "crown" on the side of the watch is a great feature and comes in handy when navigating apps. It only took me about an hour to get used to this watch. If you are looking to get this for Fitness tracking, please do. The workout app and health app are amazing along with the heart rate monitor. Overall, this is a great product.

    Apple Watch Sport... Much more than just a watch

    Before I write anything further, just let me go on the record... Yes I am an Apple fanboy, but that should not take away from my review of the Apple Watch. Ever since they were announced, I've wanted one. I was in a very bad car accident in October of 2014 and wasn't able to do much and so wanted something to motivate me to get up and move and the Apple Watch has done just that. I love that when it senses that I'm stationery, it alerts me to get up and move. I've also used an app to help track my sleeping so it will tell me how well I'm sleeping. Being in pain, sleep is not always an easy task. So when I am able to sleep, it has a Do Not Disturb mode so I don't get alerted when I receive an incoming text or call. I also love that I'm able to set a calorie goal and that it tells me how far along I am each day of reaching that goal. It also keeps a log of each day so I can see when I've met my goal and when I've missed it. The communication possibilities are great too. I love being able to send texts to friends and the heartbeat feature is great with my girlfriend because I can send her my heartbeat to let her know I'm thinking about her and vice versa. If I receive a phone call, it will allow me to answer the call and talk and the other person can hear me crystal clear from my wrist, even when my arm is down by my side. This is amazing. They even tell me they can hear me better on my watch than on my phone itself. Living in California, we have very strict driving regulations against using any mobile device while driving. The Apple Watch allows you to just glance at your wrist to get any important information such as Date, Time, Temperature outside, Battery life, what's next on your calendar. All of this is customizable under the Utility watch face. It's also great for directions. When driving or walking somewhere, it will signal you by vibrating on whichever side of your wrist you are turning. So if you're turning right, it will vibrate on the right side of your wrist and if turning left, it will vibrate on the left. Lastly, I love the customizable watch face itself... There are so many options, including a Mickey Mouse face where his feet tap to the seconds. There's are too many options to list them all here. Sadly, this wouldn't be a proper review without listing at least 1 fault. Dealing with pain on a daily basis brings issues with sleeping. I wish that there was a built-in solution or at least a good app available for tracking sleep. One that would tell you or graph it through an app on your phone if not on the watch itself. That way I might be able to adjust for more medication at certain times during the night. But this no fault to the watch. It's just something I wish for. Suffice it to say, I love my Apple Watch. It is so much more to me than just a watch. I hope you have enjoyed my review of Apple Watch.

    I have a mild watch fetish. I dig watches. I have about 20 of them. But now, the only one I wear is my Apple watch. It quickly become my favorite. This thing is soooo versatile. I can switch out the bands to match what I'm wearing, change the color (and style) of the (many) different watch faces, and I'd run out of space if I went into just some of the different apps and functions this watch can do, which made all my other watches obsolete. You've just got to get one of these. (No, I don't work for Apple.) It's just extremely functional and cool. Fantastic job Apple! :-)

    How did I ever exist thru the day without such a great product as the Apple Watch 42 Sport! First, I got it at an awesome buy at BestBuy. Second, in addition to a great personality, the BestBuy individual assisting me also showed me some great quick tips about the watch. It paired seamlessly with my iPhone 6sPlus & is so intuitive it has truly increased the productivity of my day.

    I love it, it's a smartwatch, does about 80% your iphone would do. I love the quality, beautiful screen, many options.. Too many to list.. Love the exercise apps! A few important things would need upgraded though imo: 1. Battery! Lasts up to 20 hrs of normal usage, which means thats needs to be charged every single night, same as the iphone. 2. It's great to be able to answer calls, the quality is very good and clear, but would love to be able to make the speaker even louder than the max offered, pretty silent for outdoor environment sounds, or say you're driving.. The road noise makes phonecalls almost useless. Other than these to things - it's the best watch I've every had!

    Apple Watch Exceeds Expectations

    I finally made the decision to purchase my first Apple Watch. I have been to my local Best Buy store a few times to test drive the Apple Watch. The Geek Squad did a superb job with explaining all of the features of the watch. I decided to go with the 42mm because it had a larger display and better battery life. I use the watch everyday (as it should be) and keep my phone paired with it at all times. The Apple Watch has changed the way I go about my day. It tells me how my fitness goals are progressing, it notifies me when to stand and how many calories I burned throughout the day. It gives me "taps" all day and notifies me when a new text message appears or a new email. The Apple Watch is better than anticipated and highly recommend it to anyone who is seriously contemplating buying the watch. Its worth the price. I must say, it also expresses a fashion statement when wearing the watch.

    The Apple Watch has moved all my notifications from my phone to my watch and made everything so convenient. I no longer need to pull out my iPhone to figure out if the vibration is important or not. Now I simply raise my wrist and can instantly decide if I need to do something about it or just drop my arm and go on with my day.

    I love Apple watch Sport and its functionality. You get used to wearing it very quickly. It is lightweight and you wont notice wearing it. I ended up exchanging it for a different color sport watch since it came out few days after I purchased this white one, and I liked the gold / midnight blue color combination much better!

    My main justification for getting the Apple Watch was for crossfit. It does a great job of monitoring activities throughout the day. However it fails miserably during strenuous activity. One minute my HR is 200 bpm and then I'm at 50 bpm. Very frustrating. Ive used a Bluetooth strap but the watch lost contact and never reestablished it. Bike rides and runs and just normal activities it had no difficulty. But that's not what I bought it for.

    First I would like to mention that my wife and I tried the much more expensive stainless steel Apple Watch with the better glass. For some reason the stainless steel version, even not much, it is heavier, and therefore seems to slide around more our wrists. We also tried the stainless steel Apple watch with the Milanese band, and I our opinion is - don't go that route. We absolutely didn't like the band! We finally decided on the Apple Watch Sport (the one I am actually reviewing here). The watch and the sports band feels great and stays put. Neither my wife or I have a problem with the battery life between charges. I don't use it to track my sleep so I take it off at night when I go to bed to charge. Works great every day. The Best Buy price is hard to beat. We figure this watch has a battery life span of about 3 years. After that it's time to either have Apple replace the battery, or get a new one. At this price getting a new one won't hurt as much. Oh yes, we heard mixed reports that some people had issues with the watch face scratching. So far so good here. Also we got Apple Care, so if it should scratch and it becomes an issue then we pay the co-pay and get the glass replaced. My wife works in the restaurant industry and can't really carry a phone on the restaurant floor so the Watch comes in handy because now she gets urgent text messages from people of your choice right on her wrist (as well as phone calls and important emails - you can filter it of course). On top of this it tracks your exercise and steps. Great product.

    I have 4 different android wear watches before switching back to iPhone and getting the Apple Watch. You can do so much more on the Apple Watch than any other android wear. The uses are endless. If you think you don't need a Apple Watch, you haven't done enough research yet.

    It's pretty and is okay but battery sucks. I've had Microsoft bands and fit but they each do something the other won't. The band 2 was the fastest and cheaper but for full function I kept with one brand. Band was probably a better mix of workout and Buisness
