    Only been wearing it a few days, but I really like it so far. The first day the battery barely made it to the end of the day and I got a little worried, but that was just because I was using it a lot setting it up and exploring. Since then under normal use it makes it throug the day with plenty of power to spare. I really like the crisp, clear screen, and the customizable face. Most apps are limited, but I imagine they'll only get better as time goes on.

    I've had no complaints, but only complements. It's fun to wear and very convenient not having to reach into my pocket to grab my iPhone to see every text or phone call. It's nice to discreetly check your texts. I'm looking forward to more native apps with the introduction of WatchOS2. Also, trying to get my wife to get one.

    My opinion hasn't changed much from before or after I bought it. Not worth $400 but definitely worth it at a discount $250-300. I bought mine as an open box item during an apple discount and scored it for $260. Great watch, does exactly what I wanted from a wearable.. The only thing I wish was different is if it had the ability to work independently of my phone (with some contract price of course) so I could leave my phone behind when going for a run.

    I bought two of these when they were only $50 off (went back and got my Price Match this week) and we absolutely love them! We are so into all the different bands and covers you can buy for them... I am obsessed with watches and being able to switch this one to match my outfits plus the features that it has, it's awesome!

    I bought this Apple Watch when Best Buy had it on sale for $100 off. and since it was an open box item I saved even more. It is a very nice looking and functioning watch and is an excellent accessory to the iPhone. I get many comments and people asking questions about it. The Apple Watch was definitely a excellent value.

    Really love it!!! Notifications and ability to respond from watch instead of digging phone out is great!! Band is much more comfortable than I thought it would be. Bought an inexpensive bumper for it to protect since I am really hard on watches, but question whether I really need it. No regrets buying this watch at all!!

    Used it about a month. The heart rate monitor is ok, fairly accurate. It's a cool toy, but prob a good update or two and equipment upgrade away from being a true companion. using it as a phone is very meh. The microphone works well but the speaker is half past useless... Seriously you need to hold it within 6 inches of your ear if there is any kind of background noise. Using Siri is fairly good, but it takes a while for the words to show up on the screen. Not sure if that's software update fixable or processor upgrade fixable... Hopefully the upgrade coming out helps a bit. But my biggest complaint, and this is going to sound really dumb, is that you still need your phone. I'm not looking to replace my phone, but it's not as awesome if I have to bring my phone everywhere... Hopefully it continues to improve, and developers work with it

    Admittedly, I am an Apple nut. As much as I wanted an Apple Watch, I didn't know why really. I thought it would be a cool toy. But it is way better then I even imagined. Loved the notifications on my wrist, along with the health/exercise tracking. Got a great deal at Best Buy, glad I finally bit the bullet and got one.

    When buying anything at this kind of price, a return policy is always good for peace of mind. After just a couple days with my new watch, I knew I would be keeping it. I love how easily I get my updates, while being able to not even touch my phone. The MLB At Bat app is my favorite with the watch. It's also very stylish.

    Bought the first Apple Sports Watch for my wife. Read somewhere that it could, among other things, signal her cell phone when it was misplaced and cause the phone to sound a signal, revealing its location. She was so happy with the watch's overall features and bragged about them so much, I bought one for myself too.

    This was purchased as a Christmas gift for our son. He's had watches before and didn't wear them, so I was a little hesitant to pay this much. But, he loves it! Only takes it off for charging at night. I love that it can find his phone for him, which is was always misplacing. I think it is a great value for the price.

    I must admit to being hesitant about the watch but decided to get one after hearing others rave reviews and I'm glad I did. Definitely makes it easy to see notifications and texts without having to always look at your phone. The activity monitor is great also as it's easy to keep up with your walking etc for the day.

    I got the apple watch for Christmas and was not exactly what I wanted or eve knew if I wanted it in the first place. But after using it for the last 20 days and specially after the break I have to say that the more I use it the more I like it. Good for personal fitness and excellent for work as I do a lot if emails and meetings the watch works for me better. If you just plan to use it for fitness you could probably get something less expensive.

    After getting one of these for a friend as a gift and hearing their feedback, I decided to give it a try. I must say it's pretty impressive and the most useful feature I've found is the calorie counter and heart rate monitor, as well as being able to answer messages while working out, leaving my phone in the gym bag

    There are several things I like about the apple sport watch. It is easy to set up. I can also get alerts for my alarm system. And I was very surprised that the size was perfect. I have a small wrist but the 42 mm fits just right. I really enjoy my watch for the different features it offers.

    I wanted a constant heart rate monitor so I was looking at the Fitbit. I didn't want to wear a watch and a monitor and I didn't want to mess with a chest strap. One watch I looked at was $250 and worked great if you had an adroid. I use iPhone and for $50 more I got everything I wanted and more! I love this watch!

    Although I am satisfied with my 42mm Apple Watch Sport purchase, it is not a must have item. Functionality is limited, especially as a fitness device with regards to weight lifting. Having notifications available on my wrist without having to access my phone is a plus, and being able to control devices on my wrist is cool, but I just do not see the value of this watch. Am I happy with the purchase? Yes, can I live without this purchase? Yes.

    At first, I was skeptical that I would use it very much. I now wear it everyday. I check the weather, text messages, emails, and ESPN alerts without having to take my phone out of my pocket. I have used it for phone calls as well, but not too often, since it doesn't get very loud (like when I'm in my noisy truck).

    I had considered purchasing this when they first came out but hesitated after some early reviews. In the meantime, I got a Fitbit Blaze and was happy with it, though they were having problems updating it. But when the price dropped on the Apple Watch, it made more sense to give it a try. With the update to watchOS 3, it has been much better than I expected. The activity function has been very useful. I love getting notifications from my iPhone apps. It does bog down on some of the Watch apps, but I think it may have more to do with the apps than the Watch. Though I recognize that it is slower than the new models. For the price I paid for it, I couldn't ask for more from this.
