Loving My Apple Watch

I originally tried to purchase my watch back in December but this one was unavailable. Had to wait until more came in and the wait was worth it. The watch is awesome. Comes with all the apps I need and new apps are always becoming available. Love that it matches my IPhone 6s in gold. It just about eliminates me using my phone. Love when I get a call and my phone is in my purse, I don't have to dig for it and instead just accept the call on my watch. Keeps me up to date with my emails and my messages are right here for me. I don't have to wear my Fitbit any longer because I have the fitness app right on my watch that reminds me to perform my fitness routines throughout the day. If you are thinking about buying one just do it, you will definitely love this watch. Well worth the money spent and fashionable as well. Apple did a great job with this one!

My wife's Christmas Present on Black Friday

We were in Ocala,FL and went to the BB there on Black Friday, because to try to go to one in Miami is just stupid with all the people here,especially at Thanksgiving, anyway, it was a $100 off, so $249.00. She doesn't need the stainless steel body (like I do) because she doesn't work in a physical environment. She really really likes it. I got her the Roas Gold because it's a feminine thing, and we are >45 yrs old, so we aren't doing the club scene like 15 years ago (which black would probably have been her color then to match outfits). It's a great watch, works with her iPhone 6 and she has gotten used to answering calls and talking to her watch just like Dick Tracy...or sending replies back on text real quick when she's at work. It is the BEST thing you can get if you use Apple stuff.

I loved my Moto 360, but functionally it was extremely limited on iOS. Naturally, I looked at the Apple Watch as a replacement. I initially purchased the sports model, but exchanged it for the stainless steel model due to the more upscale look of the SS. Aesthetically, the watch is beautiful and the stainless steel casing really stands out. The sports band looks alright, but feels nice against the skin. I would recommend upgrading to a leather or stainless steel band to really make the watch stand out from the crowd. They have really affordable, 3rd party options online and in stores.
If you have experience with smartwatches, the Apple Watch won't be a totally foreign experience. Essentially, the major interactions are: receiving notifications, fitness tracking capabilities, accessing and using apps on a basic level, controling music, reading and responding (through pre written messages or voice) to emails and text messages, and reading the time, date, weather, calendar and other vital info.
It's important to remember that all smartwatches at this point are complimentary devices, not standalone devices or mini smartphones. If you expect more, you'll probably be disappointed with the Apple Watch. But if see it for what it is, you'll love it, like me, and look forward to wearing it every day.

This is a great watch for a good price. Makes a lot of things easier if you're right in the middle of something and unable to pull out your phone. Sleek and light. Very elegant. Feels and looks like a luxury watch. It's simply awesome!

This watch is a big convenience for taking quick glances during meetings. The fitness feature has also been a great tool for me. When I can't find my 6plus in the bottom of my purse I can answer on the watch and finish once I find my phone. I would like the battery life to be extended.

I didn't need this watch but I'm glad I got it. It motivates me to work out. I especially enjoy the notifications reminding you to stand up for a little bit and walk around. Definitely good for people who are active or want to be more active.

I got the apple watch for my birthday from my husband and I really love it! It has a step counter that is installed on the watch\phone, when I started messing with it I noticed how active I am NOT, so long story short this thing has been my weight loss tool and so much more 2 months and 20 lbs gone! I do wish this thing actually had a speaker that was worth a dang. Overall it's great cause I don't have to dig through my purse for a text. Worth every penny and pretty durable. I've worked in the garden wearing it and accidentally wore it in the shower. Oops.

I've had to change it for the color a few times but I love this one for sure. The color is complimentary to most of my wardrobe. Previously I had the space gray (too simple for me) and the lavender and rose gold (it looks like a toy from a Doc McStuffin bag). I would love to swap for the midnight blue band but the bands are expensive I think ($50).
It's a cool wearable and is super convenient when traveling as my boarding pass barcode is always handy (literally). The activity tracker is a useful feature that I plan to use a lot more when it's warmer and I resume outdoor workouts.
Since it's such an awesome device I've convinced my sister and two friends to get it.

I did not read any product reviews before purchasing this item however I did speak to several friends, who already owned one, about it. I was able to shop around some and came across an open box deal that Best Buy had. Upon receiving it, I was able to easily sync it to my iPhone and the rest is history. I love my watch because it reminds when to stand or walk. Although I workout regularly, I have several jobs that require me to sit behind a desk so it helps me not to be lazy throughout the day. Also, keeps me on top of my important reminders. Lastly, the best part is that it still looks dainty on my tiny wrist. Best $212 I've spent in awhile!

I purchased the Apple Sport Watch after doing some very extensive searching for a wearable that would track my health as well as be compatable with my iPhone. This watch has exceeded my expectations! From the design to the multiple watch faces including the animated Mickey Mouse, to the actual health functions and daily recording of vitals, I could NOT be happier with my purchase! The screen size definitely gives the illusion that this device is limited in performance, but once you actually test it out, you get lost in the capabilities and forget the petite sized screen altogether.

I love my watch & wouldn't trade it for the world. It makes you want to be more active to achieve goals & serves as a middle man to your phone. I can respond back to text, answer calls, check my schedule, weather, check in at the gym amongst other things & positive with each update more & more will become available to be able to do through that watch. There's already a lot you can do & believe the possibilities are endless. I wouldn't trade it for the world & just a true believer in the quality of apple products & the ability to sync all your devices seamlessly.

I really didn't expect to like my Apple Watch birthday gift, but I LOVE it. It is a great activity tracker. It really motivates me to excercize and I can monitor my heart rate and actual calories burned. Texting was the best surprise because it is so easy and convenient. Don't have to dig your phone out, just tap and talk. Talking. Is easy too, don't have to hold watch up to you ear to hear. Calendar, email and many other apps are very convenient too. I bought the black band for workouts and the silver mesh for dress. Really glad I got it!

Love the watch. Works as advertised. You can see who is calling without ever looking at phone. Can answer the call through the watch. Has some really nice apps that work real well on the small screen. Really like the health aspect with all of the reminders to stand, check the steps, etc. Wish I had a leather band, but other than that, its a great watch. Love it!

The Apple Watch is more than a watch. It is an experience. I have a small wrist and I think the 38mm is a great size for me. The screen is great. I am able to see my home wifi camera from the app on my watch. I like the notification that I receive on the watch. Only after five days, I can truly say that I am enjoying this watch. I like the reminder that notify me that I need to get up and move. And, being able to change the edge and the band is a PLUS! This is a pricey smart watch but for me it is a great investment.

This is probably one of the best purchases made! It is not too big and sits comfortably on my wrist! Customizable for anything you would want. The only thing I wish would be better is the distance you are from your cell phone. The distance is not bad at all, i just wish it would be a little further.

I love how easy it was to sync the watch to my phone. It was very seamless! The app functions are cool in addition to being able to answer and make calls from my wrist. It feels great to not have to reach in my purse every time the phone rings or beeps. Awesome watch, highly recommend!

I love my Apple Watch !!! It's really easy to use and helpful... It has an Activity app That shows you every day who much calories you burn (moves) exercise, stand, steps and distances. Additional It tells you to stand up and move if you are to much time seated and the apps that has it tells you to the heart rate. Really useful because you know what your doing and have a track if your searching for weight loss.
