    The experience of using the Apple Watch so far for almost two months has been pretty positive. I was specifically looking for a way to get my notifications on my wrist and because I am on iOS the most integrated way to do this was with Apple's solution. Sure, it is a bit pricier than some other smart watches, and it may not do all the things that other smart watches promise to do, but the things it does do, it does very well.

    The Apple Watch is great, but had a lot of room for improvement. It's nice to be able to see notifications directly on your wrist and the fitness / activity tracking features are great as well. Not to mention it's great looking on the wrist. It does however have room for improvement - apps are fairly slow to load, animations can get sluggish. At this point, I would wait until the spring to see if apple comes out with a newer version.

    Initially bought the Fitbit watch but was unhappy with it and returned it. The screen kept on freezing up. I Ordered the Apple watch and I am thrilled with its quality. It's easy to use and synchs within minutes to your I-phone. Not only does it have the fitness component but also the versatility of a phone .

    The Apple Watch is a beautiful smart watch and throughout my Usage of it I found that it is a lot more useful than I originally thought from being able to change music to taking texts and reading notifications its very useful and you will find yourself using your watch for these tasks over your phone. I would rate the device 5/5 but the battery is its downfall, although I get a full days use out of it it feels like a chore to put the watch on the charger every night. Would be great if the battery lasted 2 days minimum

    Bought this watch for wife for Christmas - me a Fitbit Surge -hate the Fitbit. I will probably Switch to an iPhone just because of this watch. It does so many things. You really should go to B&N and buy a book on it. There are SO many little tricks it can do. Weather, music, steps, messages, interacts with phone, so easy to read, She loves it and I really love it. If you have an iPhone you HAVE to get an Apple Watch!

    I'm not thrilled about it. Can't do much. I prefer my Fitbit surge over the Apple Watch. I feel like the surge can do more and tracks more for my running and lifestyle than The Apple Watch. It doesn't provide all day heart rate and doesn't have a GPS to show me my running route like my Fitbit does. The only benefit is I can see incoming calls and texts and reply with quick texts or answer the call when I'm not near my phone.

    The watch does so many functions, and it is so easy to personalize but it is well worth the investment price. It will work great right out of the box integrated with your iPhone. Then, as you get used to it you start to personalize it by adding apps specifically for your watch. I have had this now for a few months, and I still find new apps and ways to use the watch and not have to even remove my phone from my pocket. The watch serves a great technical function, and still looks fantastic as a timepiece on your wrist!

    My wife loves her Apple Watch! Her display rolls her favorite pictures of the kids. The health and fitness apps are great for keeping track of her daily activities. We considered a Fitbit but for a little more money we got the Apple Watch which has thousands of more options and functionalities!

    Been wanting an Apple Watch for a long time. So glad Best Buy put them on sale, it was too good to pass up. My husband on the other hand wasn't as thrilled lol. The watch is beautiful and I just love that I came use my own pictures as the watch face. The fit and size is great and the color of the rose gold is beautiful. The watch has some very nice features for tracing your steps and your heart rate along with reminding you to get up and move! All in all I love this watch and I'm so glad I made the purchase.

    Battery life & lack of GPS are the downsides. The new watches from fitbit and garmin are much better options for fitness people. However, the watch is very nice looking and has a low profile unlike the fitbit and garmin.

    Not the usual Apple smash, but still solid

    Well, depending on the reason you'd be buying a watch like this, you may either be very happy, or very disappointed. I primarily purchased as a replacement for a fitbit. For that I'm 80% satisfied. There are a number of odd quirks with syncing health data that need to be fixed, and I expect that to happen with next week's WatchOS2. Otherwise, solid build, looks nice, easy to use and convenient for a number of day-to-day actions that you'll soon take for granted. I opted for the lesser expensive, knowing that the 2nd version will surely eclipse the features of this one. I'm happy with the purchase regardless....

    I was dying to get my little hands on an Apple Watch since it was released. When Best Buy knocked $100 of the price, I had to get it. Believe me when I say that it is a fabulous gadget! I love the fact that I can see my texts, emails and notifications on it, as well as use it as a pedometer without the need to carry my phone. It's extremely cool to get and make calls on it too! The flouroelastomer band is great...no more having to readjust my watch. It doesn't slide at all. I'm absolutely thrilled with it!

    I had looked at these ever since they came out, but couldn't justify the cost for something that I thought would only be an extension of my iPhone. Then they went on sale for $100 off so I took the plunge. After a month of wearing it daily, I can truly say that I continue to find new conveniences and functions. Kind of like buying an iPhone back in 2007, you didn't realize how useful it would become until you lived with it for awhile. And, it looks perfect, classy but understated, just like my iPhone.

    As a Fitbit user since the beginning, I grew bored and somewhat complacent with it. I've been through them all. The Apple watch is very motivating with changing goals and achievements. It's been very humbling to complete a bunch of daily exercises that normally would have left me feeling very accomplished, but the watch pushes you to do more. I love the text message and phone call capabilities especially when answering a call or text is not appropriate. I wasn't entirely sure what I was jumping into with this watch purchase but after a couple weeks with it, I absolutely recommend.

    I was always replacing my watch whenever the battery would die. Instead of replacing the battery it was easier to just buy another watch. I have a drawer full of non working watches. I needed a new one... again and was shopping around online, when I received an email from Best Buy for $100 off the Apple Watch. My grandson has one and he loves it so I thought yes! This is what I need and so I ordered it online and picked it up the next day and I LOVE this watch! I love it! This will be my last watch!
