    It won't make you fly or give you super power. But it's a very nice watch! Customizable and will get better with future updates. Saves time, I never realized how much I reached in my pocket until my Apple Watch. Now I only take my phone out to make calls. Saves iphone battery because you don't need phone as much. I only charge watch at night. I usually have about 50-60 percent after all day use. 6am till 10-11pm most days.

    I bought the Apple Watch recently because it was on sale. I waited this long because I didn't think I needed it and I already had a Fitbit Surge. The first week I had it, I almost took it back still not convinced i needed it. But the more I wore it, the more I enjoyed it. The fitbit is still the better running, heart rate and sleeping tracker but the Apple Watch is the better smart watch. I wear the Apple Watch all day and when I run, I'm a complete nerd with the apple on one side and the fitbit surge on the other side.

    Pretty cool watch with some neat features. Probably should of waited for the Apple Watch 2 this year. But makes you pay attention to how much moving around and so forth you do like a fitbit. Sleep+ app is great.

    It the Apple watch what more do you need to know before buying it? If you buy Apple products and want a watch this is probably what you will buy no matter what a review says. it works the battery lasts a decent amount of time. You still have to charge it every night. For the money I think you get a better experience with an Android phone and android wear watch. (moto 360 etc) the display is nice and using apple pay is a cool trick. beyond that you have a very limited watch face selection and very little customization. But you are purchasing an apple product so that's expected. full disclosure, I purchased this as a gift for someone who is a diehard apple fan. They love the thing and that's the most important part of any gift.

    Love my Apple Watch

    I've been a devoted Apple user for nearly 30 year, so I was excited to get an Apple Watch. However, I really had no idea how much I'd use it. I have added apps that make my life so much easier. I regular send texts by speaking into my watch. The size is perfect for me. I change out bands all the time because it's so easy. I can even check the sales at my store from my watch in seconds while away. I had a Jawbone Up3 before my Apple watch, so I now track everything I was tracking with the Jawbone from my Apple Watch. The one feature I do miss is tracking my sleep. I know it can be done, but I find it a bit bulky to sleep with. Plus, that's usually when I charge the watch. Speaking of charging, that is crazy fast. One of my favorite features (aside from my wife not being angry at me for missing her texts) is the navigation. Although I have a navigation system in my car, I love the vibrations from the watch when it's time to turn. Apple Watch is a game-changer for me. Love it!

    Bought mainly for the fitness tracking. Other options are nice but honestly don't use them. Text to wrist is nice in order to not have to dig out my phone from my purse. Do love the next appt showing on the face.

    I first thought it was a frivolous item, but as I used it, it has become an integral part of my daily activity. It tells me how active I am. It saves me from using my phone in situations where that is not easy or proper. It even tells time. And the interface is much easier than I thought it would be.

    Currently, the Apple Watch is the best smart watch you can buy. Style wise it is a good design. I just wish I didn't have to charge it every day. Other than that it is a good buy. Specially at best buy's price.

    I like it more than i thought i would. I am not sure how well the step counter works as my fit-bit always shows more steps (i wore both for awhile to test) than the watch does. I know you can cheat them both but i try not to do that. The fit-bit is probably more sensitive and easier to fool. I do find the Activity tracker to be a little more motivating than having nothing at all. I like to get my rings filled up. The watch faces are good, but the customization is pretty limited. I love the fact that i can Bluetooth my phones camera to the screen. I have used that a few times for seeing things i normally couldn't. For instance I aimed my phone at a light and went to the breaker box to make sure i hit the right switch. Very useful since everyone was gone and i was replacing a light. Much less back and forth. I am not sure how many apps are useful on the watch but seeing texts and answering quickly is nice. Dismissing reminders is nice, Skipping songs is nice. Very useful at home on WiFi as i do not always have to have my phone right at my side. (I just got a reminder to stand, brb) :-) So what is wrong? I would like it to buzz me if my phone disconnects. A few times I have left the house without my phone and only realized when i looked at my watch and see a red phone icon on the top of the screen. It's mostly useless without the phone around. A useless feature? Time Travel.. not at cool as it sounds. But if your curious what the temperature might be in 5 hours then spin that dial. I am still getting the hang of it and i am sure i am missing some things it can do, but overall I like it. Was it worth $350? That is a personal opinion. For me, i think the 42 should be $250 and the 38 should be $199. Maybe after a new one comes out. I do like the sports band quite a bit. It's very comfortable. Will probably get some other colors to spice things up...
