Customer Ratings & Reviews

This “smart watch” hardly ever connects to my phone. Pretty much worthless. Only works for telling time.

When I saw the first gen go on sale for $189 I was sold as I was about to get a Fitbit HR. Upon going to the local BB they were out of the 38mm so opted to pay a little more for the 42mm. In just a week and os3 upgrade I could not be happier. It is such a great companion for an iPhone. I no longer even take my phone out of my pocket as I typically did that a lot to look at the time.

I bought this watch and thought I'll use it. But not that much. I was wrong. I use it for texting all the time. I answer my phone calls on it at work. If I'm on the computer I don't have to reach for my phone. I flip my wrist and answer and keep working while I talk. The fitness tracker is awesome. Use it all the time while bicycling. Tracks my miles, heart rate,calories. Etc. I've got about 250 songs downloaded to it. Would recommend getting Apple care. I did. $50 versus having to buy another watch in case something happens. Everything in my household is Apple. Keep it up Apple.

could not get the sides to stay down, so had to remove it and go without having a protector

At first I was skeptical about the Apple Watch but decided to try it out due to curiosity. First off, is it something you absolutely need? No, but is it useful? Yes. Having worn it for a couple of months now it's become my go to for instant notifications and yes time. The main perk for me is being able to glance down at my wrist and see who or what's trying to contact me without having to reach for my phone. The other perks have been the health apps. All in all its served my demands and then some and would probably buy it again if need be.

The design of this watch is perfect and beautiful. I barely use my phone anymore. I find the watch most useful at work and while driving.

Love the watch! I have had smart watches before and this one is the best. It is very light and you even forget you have it on some times. Battery life is not the best, I go about a day and a half at most before it dies. Great for workouts and tracking heart rate or steps. Does help to remind you to get up and move around, and it helps keep track of calories burned during workouts. Messages are easily read and with Siri on the watch it's a breeze to respond with voice. You can respond in multiple languages without a problem. Speaker is a little low on it when talking, but people will hear you clearly. I would recommend getting the silver one though. It is very hard to find bands that will match more with black than silver. Other than that I can not complain.

Works as advertised. Set up extremely simple, although it took a while to learn its capabilities. Looks stunning, sleek and very attractive. Apple Pay with the watch works great, just make sure when you unlock your iPhone, it unlocks the watch automatically too. No need to put passcode on the watch then. (As long as it's on your wrist!!) Great in notifications and instant replies without talking the phone out.

I have wanted a smart watch for years now. I was thinking about the Pebble prior to the Apple watch but it just looked like a children toy. The Apple Watch is great for a lot of things. GPS, Texts, email, etc... It's also much safer to check when you are driving than your iPhone. Great 1st generation product. The sports band is very comfortable.

I decided to buy the first generation Apple Watch now for Christmas instead of waiting and seeing what comes next. What I've found is a great first generation product release that while showing some flaws (overall battery life is short, some apps slow) is a wonderful jumping off point for anyone looking for a smart watch. I highly recommend and look forward to future releases in this new product line.

Not worth the amount of money you will spend. It is not accurate on anything

The watch is easy to use and set up. It would be nice to be able to customize the activity rings. It works very well with my iPhone. Best buy had it on sale $100 less then Apple so it was a good buy.

Apple products are great but buying from Best Buy ... hmmm it's pricy

I got the 42mm aluminum space gray for Christmas. I'm a die hard hunter and that is one reason why I wanted the watch. When I'm in my tree stand or stalking game my phone is always on silent and in my gear bag. I have a wife and two boys and anything can happen in life. It's very nice to not have to make all kinds of noise getting into my bag periodically to check my phone. If a phone call or message happens to come through I can feel the tap on my wrist and at the (flick of the wrist) lol. I can see the message or call with minimal noise. Absolutely convenient. Can also check weather and radar depending on the apps you have, also temperatures and future temperatures. Don't be concerned about cold or rain the watch works flawlessly. Gave three stars because for the money Apple needs to put a little more attention to the speed of operations on the watch. Apps need to load a lot faster than they do. Don't be skeptical on weather elements getting to the watch. I wear it in the shower and have been soaked to the bone in the woods and my watch works just fine. Another point for the watch is I take my wife and boys to the pool and have a Bluetooth speaker I play music through and I can still control volume and songs while in the pool. Yes I will be swimming with the watch on. Go to YouTube and search waterproof Apple Watch and you will see why. From my experience with water so far it does not concern me. I also use it as my clock / alarm for work during weekdays. I also use it at work to control my Bluetooth speaker on the job site. So far my experience has been very good. Good luck to you all. For my fellow hunters, KEEP HAMMERING!

I was skeptical at first, but I never count a product out until i tried it. It took me a week to figure out if I wanted to keep it, but once I decided I was very happy with my decision. Being able to view and respond to notifications as quick as you can with the Apple Watch is great, especially when you work in an environment where you can't exactly pull your phone out all the time. The fitness area of the watch is very accurate (HR monitor, steps, miles, etc) and is very motivating. The watch itself is very comfortable. I wear it when I'm doing heavy weight lifting and it doesn't bother me at all. The watch is also more durable than Apple is leading on, so don't feel like you have to keep this thing locked away! Lastly, battery life is also better than I anticipated. I've gotten about 78 hours on one charge out of it (no power saving mode), but I am also not one of those people who are glued to it. The battery also charges pretty fast. 0-100% in about 100 mins. Buy a stand for it, and you won't mind having to charge it every night (if need be), because it looks really nice on a stand. Try it!

Do t need it, my phone does everything it does... wastes my money

I received this watch as a gift for Christmas. I was very skeptical because I use to own the Galaxy Gear watch and wasn't impressed. Now that I switched over to Apple I figured I would give it a try. I'm glad I did. I love the activity app that is on the watch. It helps me remember to make my goals and reminds me to stand up. I also love how fast it is compared to my other watch. It sends and receives text messages very quick. Thank you Apple for a great product.

I absolutely love my watch.! If you're like me you carry around a large purse and when it's time to look for something you can't always do that. I like the fact you don't have to dig down in your purse to look for your phone when its ringing or you want to respond to a text. My Apple Watch is already on my wrist & I can answer the phone with ease! I just love it!!!

watch is an expensive apple accessory wait for apple watch 2.

It has been years since I wore a watch. I used my pager and then my phone for the time. This is such a simple and flexible way to access my iPhone. As new apps are added it will become even better.
