The Apple watch is a joke. What's the point of this thing? For one, I feel like Luke Skywalker with it on and besides it's rather useless except as a watch and I have nice watches for telling time. It is nice as a notifier for texts etc and to answer calls around the house when my phone is not with me but other than that, it is basically another useless gadget I need to charge everyday. I'm fine with my iPhone 6s Plus but the watch is too much and looks silly on a grown man if you ask me. It's a gimmick and I can't imagine this rubbish lasting. It is also just too thick and clunky looking and like I said, basically does nothing of any real use to me. It did track my steps! Woopee! These things are just so dang overrated! Or maybe they're not? I can't imagine that men of my age or even close to my age (50ish) wanting to wear this childish gadget. I gave it 3 stars because it is Apple and it is nicely made and the screen, buttons and functions are quite nice but ONLY 3 stars because it is just a useless gadget but I should have known that going in. Heck, I'm 50, I can barely read my iPhone 6s Plus screen, let alone a tiny Apple watch. Mine lasted about 2 weeks and I sold it to Chewbacca on eBay. What on earth is it that people like about these ludicrous devices? Someone, really, give me a real reason why anyone needs this thing? Heck, tell me why anyone wants one? I got mine for free and like I said I sold it to Chewy. What is even neat or cool about the Apple Watch? It looks goofy but vibrates when I have taken enough steps! Wow, awesome! I can change colors with over priced $40+ pieces of rubber. And how about the $15,000 gold watch? LMAO! It won't be worth its weight in gold next year. I just want to meet one person who actually paid 15 grand for a 1st gen smart watch that will be obsolete, well....yesterday! Anyhow, these things are a joke but I guess I am a bit of a Maverick around here because most reviewers seem to like this thing. I just don't get it. There is my lovely review.

Purchased my second apple watch as I returned my first one directly to apple. I went with best buy this time because it was $50 and I still had not made up my mind if I liked it or not, so I figured I would try it out again. It has awesome features and I love the notifications. But after having it for a week for the second time, all I really use it for is to tell time and my notifications. Is that worth $400 to you? I am still debating on returning my watch or if I should keep it.

The watch is so great; I've enjoyed the activity, messages, etc. way more than I thought I would. Love the different watch faces. It's nice to look on my wrist and see the weather, my calendar appointments or tell siri to send me a reminder.

Faulty product! Best Buy won't honor after 15 days

The Apple Watch is a watch of money. Do not buy...

Been wanting an Apple Watch for awhile now and glad that Best Buy began selling it because now they can be had at a discount. Purchased the Apple Watch Sport version because couldn't justify spending $600 on a generation 1 smart watch. I'm using it as more of a glorified fitness tracker and it does that well. However I thought it would have more usefulness. Seems many apps just don't work well or have too many bugs. Others don't update on their own in glances unless you open them on the watch or phone which defeats their purpose. More of a shortcoming of apps than watch itself.

I haven't worn a watch for 20+ years. I held off on the Apple Watch until it was on sale, and I had rebate coupons at Best Buy. I've been wearing it for a month now, and so far, I really like it. I like using Siri to control my phone's music playback. I like the fitness tracking. I like the widgets for weather and other stuff. Battery life is fine, as long as you remember to charge it every night. I wish I could create my own custom watch faces, and that it were just a bit thinner. I'm not sure I'd like it as much at full price, but for the $259 I paid, it's a nice device.

Have enjoyed my Apple Watch as an extension of my iPhone. I think some people's disappointment with it stem from unrealistic expectations. It is not meant to be a smartphone on your wrist, nor is it meant to be a superpower fitness band. It is a great time-piece that serves great as a convenient communication tool while driving. I appreciate leaving my phone in my pocket for notifications unless it is something important enough to dig deeper into an app. Turn by turn directions are great, right on your wrist and the health data has been a great addition to my routine. Is it worth the sticker price? If you can afford it without worrying about it, go for it. If you can't, find a way to make it more affordable (sales, gift cards, etc). Is it an essential? No. No wrist watch is. Most tech are luxury items that make life more enjoyable. Have realistic expectations and get it for what you would gain from it, not hype.

I'm an Apple geek, but didn't but this right away b/c I didn't really need it. The main reason I bought it (besides the $100 off sale) was b/c of the ability to NOT take my phone out of my jeans pocket all the time, especially while driving. This little watch really is quite intuitive. Siri is pretty spot on, and the engineers at Apple, as with other devices, anticipated very well real life scenarios. When a text comes in, sometimes a quick "Yes" or "No" or other short answer is all that is necessary, so they built in some quick reply options right on the screen. Or you can just Siri a response. Also helpful is the little thermometer on some of the watch faces. You can of course customize many of the faces to display whatever you like, but I really like the quick temp option. Plenty of other things to like about this, but I'll wrap up with the feel of it. I really don't like wearing anything on my wrist. I've bought watches in the past only to shelf them 99% of the time b/c of the feel. This little sport wrist band is SO nice. If you're not noticing the feel of the watch, then it's doing what it's supposed to do. Most of the day I forget it's on there unless I need to use it. So there you have it. Battery life is just fine btw. I get 2 days usage out of one charge. Perhaps b/c I turn off a lot of the unnecessary features, but still, it seems to work well for me. A truly fantastic piece of equipment that would definitely make Dick Tracey proud!

I've been an Apple Nerd for probably 10 years now after I switched to Mac after the Vista fiasco. Well a decade later, I had a house full of Apple products from Several MacBooks and MacBook pros, AppleTVs, iPods, every version of iPhone and iPads. When they came out with the watch, I didn't want to like it. I've spent the last 8 years weaned from wearing a watch when the original iPhone came out, why would I ever want to go back to wearing a watch?? Well because it's an Apple Watch and it's awesome. I bought the sport watch because it was on sale and relatively inexpensive, especially considering you'd spend $200 for a wrist heart rate monitor. It's also the thinnest and lightest of all the Apple Watch models and you don't have to worry about sweat and water damage from jogging or being in the rain. The watch is an extension of all the capabilities of your iPhone and more. Through in the super-accurate pedometer (calibrated by a 20 minute outdoor walk/run with the Workout app running accompanied by your iPhone). Heart rate monitor records your heart rate at intervals throughout the day and every minute during a workout. Biometric health data is automatically sent to the Health app on your iPhone. Phone calls are surprisingly clear when made from the watch as well. I also love the taps for turn notifications while navigating. Bottom line, the phone stays in my pocket more and extends its usefulness! Love it. Home run Apple.

The apple watch was a great choice and at $100 off the normal price this can't be beat. I picked mine up for 299 and love it, have no complaints and bestbuy was great. It makes phonecalls, textmessages and emails easier since my phone only has to be in range and not on me all the time. This is great for when you do not want to carry your phone around the house. Love it and recommend it.

I will admit, when I first bought it I thought I would barely use it and just show it off every now and then but once I started to use it, man I love it and never take it off! East to use, connects to your phone and bluetooth speakers. Siri is ridiculously accurate on this thing when used to text.

I was between the Apple Watch and the Fitbit Surge. With the price drop of the Apple Watch to within $50 of the Fitbit, I got the Apple. It does a ton and has many apps that tracks my fitness. From scales to counting my sets in the gym, it tracks a lot. Plus, you can change the band very easily if you don't like the one it comes with...fitbit, your stuck with it...

I thought I would like the Apple Watch, but I must admit that I like it more than I imagined. I figured that, as a first-generation product, it would be good but would have some significant, yet manageable, shortcomings. To my surprise, it really hasn't so far. It's snappy, comfortable, extremely convenient and an all-around good device. Very happy so far!

I'll admit I love Apple. The Watch is simply amazing - I've had it a week and love how it integrates with my iPhone and how easy it is. The fitness tracking is easy and love being able to quickly respond or dismiss messages or emails.

I love my Apple Watch, I've had for a week now and it's wonderful not having to pull phone out all the time to read someone's text. I've taken phone calls on it and I'm told I sound the same as when phone is up by my ear. I originally didn't think I would ever buy an Apple Watch but now that I have one, I find myself asking why I didn't get one sooner.

I bought this Apple Watch for my best friend and he enjoys how it simplifies his life, especially since his job requires him to constantly check his e-mails. He allowed me to test out the features and I found them to be complimentary to certain apps on his iPhone. The only issue that I had with the watch is how long it takes for the watch to power on. Other than that, I would recommend it for people that constantly need to quickly access certain apps without having to pull out their phone.

If you have an IPhone, you should have this watch! It gives you all the information from your phone. No need to keep pulling the phone out of your pocket 30 times a day. Even take a call right on the watch without touching the phone! Great personal trainer that keeps you on pace for a healthy day, with hourly reminder to stand up and get moving!

I held off buying the Apple Watch when it was first released because I was unsure about the battery life and if the features would really add any convenience to my life. After using for 3 weeks I don't know why anyone would own an iPhone and not purchase an Apple Watch to go with it. The text messages on your wrist are very helpful. Not having to pull my phone out of my pocket for every single text or email I receive is very nice. The activity tracker is an improvement over the Fitbit Charge I had been using. Other apps are nice as well when wanting to do a quick check of info without needing to unlock the phone, open the app, and find what you're looking for.

I received the watch as a birthday present yesterday. It's the most incredible time piece I have ever owned. It's quite simple to set up and use right out of the box. I look forward to exploring with it in the coming days.
