The watch does not work as an independent device, you have to be within a certain distance from your phone if you want to make calls, text or access the majority of your apps.

I had been skeptical about how useful I would find the Apple Watch. I wasn't sure how it would work into my day-to-day activities or even if I would want to use it. But after more than a month of using it daily, I find that I cannot imagine not having it. Besides tracking activity and exercise, it alerts me to e-mails and text messages, phone calls, and I have even used it to make a purchase using Apple Pay. I will say that I am glad I was able to get it during the holiday sale but even at full price, it has proven itself very much worth its value.

I initally bought the 38mm Apple Watch, but it looked liked a girl's watch on my wrist, so i bit the extra $55 bullet and upgraded to the 42mm. This watch is excellent!! It does way, way more than the Samsung Gear watch that i was using, and don't have to pay for an extra phone line through my mobile carrier to use it! The ability to be able to dictate a text messages and use Apple Pay with it blew me away! I recently switched from an Android phone to an Iphone for the first time and i needed a watch to go with it, and i'm definitely glad i did!

Does what it says - Sport Version is Great

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!

Coming from Android Wear, this is better!

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!

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.
