    What's not to say good about the Apple watch. Works with the Apple phone. Gives me my messages. Very handy. I do not have to pull out my phone to retrieve my messages.

    I highly recommend this! I was hesitant at first because of the price but after using it for only a day I'm in love. It makes it so much easier to check email, messages, phone calls, etc. I kinda wanted the stainless steel at first but after using the sport I think it's great. I'd recommend getting a zagg screen protector to avoid any snatches though.

    I was a little hesitant at first about purchasing the Apple Watch because of the price but after I got it I was amazed. The notifications are amazing on the watch, it tracks my exercise and walking routines, the different watch faces are amazing and you can add things like weather, battery life and more to most of the watch faces. When you get the watch the first thing you will want to do is upgrade to iOS Watch 2 operating system as there are a lot of new features. I would recommend this watch to everyone and this is coming from an old Android users who started using Apple iPhone just a few months ago.

    I had this for a day. My wife made me take it back. It was awesome. I didn't like that the battery didn't last I texted about 5 messages and used it to tell me where to turn from the gps for my delivery route. I'd get it again when I have the money.

    Bought for my husbands birthday.. Was looking to purchase at Target as they had this on sale, however they were sold out everywhere! Thank goodness Best Buy did price match.. My first time using price match and was able to walk in and out the day before his birthday.. My husband loves it! He's a driver, so it makes it easy for him to use/ feel the gps, answer calls, etc. I have one as well and I love the fact that if I'm in a meeting I can quickly glance at the message without anyone realizing.. As one would with a phone... I also like that u can edit the pre-filled responses and draw responses.

    Fantastic device for keeping track of your fitness activities which in my case is walking. Also use the watch for golfing. Just by glancing at the watch I can see the distance to the green (front, center and back) and it also keeps my score. The golf App I use is Golf19. It is free and does the job. Nice companion device for the iPhone. Would like to see the battery last longer - a week would be nice! I usually have between 20 and 50% battery left at the end of the day.

    I was a sceptic at first, but after hearing all the hype, I decided to give it a shot. I initially intended to purchase it for fitness purpose. However, after using it for a few weeks now, I cant imagine not using it everyday. From easy reminders, to managing my calendar, it make life easier. I also NEVER pull my phone out and play with it anymore, which has allowed me to "put the tech down" and connect with my friends and family more, without the phone in my face. I totally recommend this product for anyone who wants to stay connected but not have their nose in their phone constantly.

    I bought the watch to help track my fitness goals, and I tend to gravitate toward Apple products. I really was worried it would be more annoying than useful. I was wrong. First off, I am slightly claustrophobic, so watch bands make me fidget with them all day because they are either too tight or too loose, but this rubber watch band is super comfortable. I don't even think about it. Also, it keeps me from having to pull out my phone every time there is a call or text. I used to fight with my jeans to pull my phone out in time to answer, but now I can answer my watch until I get my phone out. Also, I only have to charge it every other day. Also, it has a mickey mouse watch face! Also, I can sort through my emails on it. I can check my bank information with two clicks. There are lots of other things it makes more convenient.

    It is a great start, the battery life is okay would prefer longer. It becomes very addictive :) Getting used to answering the phone on my wrist was a bit Star Wars but you get used to it.

    It's better than a fit bit (I spent the money on a Fitbit surge) and was not impressed. The Apple Watch is water RESISTANT not water proof, just keep that in mind while purchasing. It gives me daily reminders to get up and walk, I can call on it, text on it, read and respond to emails, I have the option to take pictures with it. I am overall impressed with how much I love this watch.

    With no other really functional option for iPhone this is great. Tried Microsoft band but I had to return 3 times because it was corroding. The design of this prevents corrosion. Very functional and find new things I like about it constantly. Great battery life as well. Wish it would track sleep.

    Watch of the Future

    The Apple Watch is the watch of the future. Not only does it tell time, but is an excellent multitasker. The fitness features tracks steps, movement, and tells me to stand each hour. The notifications tell me when texts, emails, and phone calls are received. I can respond to all three mediums without removing my iPhone from my pocket, or picking up from the table. I can change the watch face, and in most cases, change the data that appears with each watch face. I recommend this product for any who wants to remain connected to tech, and maintain or increase their fitness goals.

    Love the watch! Heart rate monitor is a bit off during weight training. Seems to be consistent when doing cardio. It's a good way to gauge a base line for fitness purpose. It's a great addition to my iPhone and I'd rather not be without it.

    This watch can pretty much do it all. At your finger tips you have all of the things that a health watch can do such as steps, calories, and heart rate. You can also check your messages, respond to messages by voice or text, look information up, have access to many apps you would have on your phone, and even use in connection with other systems such as your car Bluetooth. Very easy to use, and Best Buy was more competitive on their price than any other store.

    Since adding the apple watch to my list of devices, I have seen a substantial change in how often I pull out my phone for arbitrary nonsense. I still stay on top of any notifications I receive, I still respond to texts and emails whenever its required, but I spend less time distracted from the presence of those around me. Watch OS 2 makes a subtle, yet legitimate difference in the way the watch functions, and so far I have loved every minute with the Apple Watch.

    The Apple Watch is cool. I purchased the watch looking to upgrade my old fitness tracker. While it will measure fitness, it is not (yet) rich in the tools that a true fitness tracker is, nor does it track sleep the way I had hoped. I don't like that it measures calories as one of your primary alerts vs steps. I had to shift my expectations from that to a smart watch that also tracks fitness. Once I shifted to that thinking I have found it to be very functional and helpful for business purposes. It seems there are more compatible game apps than useful tools (that aren't duplicative). I trust that Apple will be developing new apps quickly. If you want a smart watch, it's a great pick. If your primary focus is fitness tracking I would opt for a product that tracks fitness as its primary function.

    I was not an early adopter of the Apple Watch. I like my regular watches and I have an activity tracker band (Garmin) with messaging and other functions, so I didn't really think I needed this. But it won me over. It's not as big and bulky as I thought it'd be. I like the ability to change the watch face. And it acts as a remote for your phone's camera, so if you are not a selfie-stick person (which I am not) this comes in handy. The digital crown is clever so you don't end up blocking everything you are trying to look at on the screen with your finger. My reason for giving it only 4 stars is that you can't delete some of the Apple apps even if you don't use them. I really want to get rid of the Stocks app to save room for ones I'll actually use. But overall, if you are an Apple devotee, you will love it.

    Was hesitant in purchasing the Apple Watch thinking that I may not use it...I WAS WRONG!! I use it for everything! Much easier to raise your hand to read new alerts or messages (not to mention less obvious) than digging in my pockets to retrieve my phone. Bought one for my wife as well and she had the same worries as I did at the beginning and now she says that she can't leave the house without it. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is due to it not being water resistant like the new ones and battery life. My 42mm can go almost two days until a charge is needed...my wife's 32mm needs to be charged every night. Not sure if they have different size batteries or if its just a fluke.

    Pros: Intuitive design ease of answering text great for podcast answering text during meetings interchangeable bands for sports or business cons: phone volume is not loud enough, particularly while driving or outdoors heart rate monitor is not continuous (cannot replace fitbit/fitness watches) short battery life, less than 1 day limited to apps that specifically are optimized for apple watch unable to modify siri texts, therefore if siri misinterprets your words, you have to delete the whole text, or send as is
