    Much more useful than expected

    I was on the fence about getting an Apple Watch. Sure it's beautiful, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend $350 only to be disappointed in the end. So when Best Buy dropped the price by $100 I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be so much more useful than I expected it to be. I love that I can get reminders and notifications of texts discretely on my wrist rather than everybody hearing my phone alerts. And the activity app actually has me exercising more. The watch face is also customizable so I can see the time, date, current weather, battery level and my activity progress with just a lift of my wrist. Oh, and did I mention how beautiful it is? I love having multiple watch band colors to choose from (extra colors sold separately, of course) rather than wearing the same watch I've been wearing for years whether it went with what I wore or not.

    I love gadgets, so it was a no brainer that I would be buying an Apple Watch at some point. I love this thing. I work in a hospital and am on the go all day, so it is wonderful to be able to look down at my watch and see who is calling me and decide if I should ignore it or not. Prior to this watch I would have to wait until I was finished with my patient to go and look at my phone and see who had called. I have a child in school, and at this time of year he gets sick a lot, so being able to see if the school is calling is a big plus for me. This is a convenience and I love it. Maybe some day they will make one that can actually take photos, but for now I love all it can do. Keeping track of my steps is a breeze with this and I love how it reminds me to stand for 1 minute every hour. I am in school and sometimes a couple of hours will go by before I get up from studying, so this reminds me to move more. You wont be disappointed! I now have a few friends who have one as well and it is fun being able to send drawings, heartbeats and "pokes" to each other as well as awesome animated emojis.

    The iWatch is a good tool for fitness. It may not have the fitness tracking ability of other products, but the ease of viewing messages, email, phone calls, and other items as well as ease of responding make it a great tool. It is so much better than walking around with your phone in your hand, especially in my job setting. While extremely light, it has a smart look on my wrist.

    I love my watch for getting messages and answering the phone when my iPhone is in another room or in my purse. I also enjoy using the activity tracker when I am on the treadmill so that I can keep track of my progress. The stand feature is nice when I'm working at the computer. It is easy to lose track of the time.

    Very cool watch

    Sometimes forget to put the watch on because it requires charging every evening...this is something you need to get used to. The watch was easy to synch to the IPhone. Heart rate feature is nice. Camera feature that allows you to look through the phone on your watch is cool but haven't figured out what to use it for. Easy to answer or screen calls. Easy to check weather or stock prices. The watch might be very useful once I learn all of the features and apps available.

    Purchased the Rose watch with the Lavender band on 11/26/15. The Apple watch is everything I love about my iPhone at my fingertips and so much more! I chose to buy the watch over a new phone since my 5s is in perfect shape. It can mirror the iphone. It has endless features! I can reply to texts, emails, it has a speaker for calls, no more running across the house for the phone or missed calls! It tracks my movement and tells me to stand when I am sitting too long ( I have a desk job), I can set goals for burned calories, exercise, steps, heart rate, etc. I sold my Fitbit and don't need my iPod or phone to listen to music just need bluetooth headphones The face is fully customizable to my own preferences. I get to choose what info is displayed, the color scheme and where the info is placed on the face. The face is scratch proof and I sure have had my fair share of bumps already and still perfect! There is so much to this Apple watch and it has helped me tremendously! Best of all I got it at Best Buy for $100 off for $249 absolutely worth every penny even at full price!

    Purchased the Apple Watch when Best Buy had it on sale for $250 and I must say the price was perfect and the watch is perfect. Love everything about it, easy to use, great lil personal trainer and it's fashionable. I feel naked when I don't have it on my wrist now! You won't be disappointed if you purchase it.

    I love my watch, I wear it everyday, it was just as everyone said. I like that I can see my text when they come in and can answer from my watch, it lets me know how my Dailey progress is going on when I sit to long it tells me to get up and move, and it also tells the time. This watch has so much to offer

    I'm very happy I purchased the Apple Watch! I got it for mainly health & fitness purposes and it meets all my expectations! Getting notifications and reading texts or e-mails on it, is an added bonus. I now get off my iPhone sometimes, lol!

    Not "just a watch"...

    If you like to set goals for yourself and watch as you complete them, this is a great watch for you! I purchased this watch primarily for the use of working out and watching calories and so far, it has met every expectation I have had for it! I will say though....be CAREFUL....the glass screen DOES shatter! Just yesterday I accidently hit my screen with my belt buckle and shattered the entire watch. It was a VERY sad day. In the words of my husband "honey, you didn't lose a child. It is just a watch" but it wasn't. It was so much more than that to me. So I now have to figure out how to fix my watch so that my days are complete once again! All-in-all....I LOVE this watch!

    Apple Watch is great

    I wear my Apple Watch every day. It is a great product well worth the $349.00 for the space gray 38mm model. I especially love the ability of the watch to remain linked to the iPhone at great distance if both are on the same WiFi network. Example 1: iPhone is on my desk in the house but the watch can answer and make calls and texts when I am working outside in the garden 300 feet away. iPhone always seemed to end up in the dirt! Disclaimer: I have a rooftop WiFi access point. Example 2: I leave the Apple iPhone in my locker at my fitness club. I go up two stories to the inside running track and the Apple Watch stays connected via WiFi while I'm running. I am a professional musician and I love that I can quickly silence the phone if I've forgotten to turn it off during a rehearsal. And receive messages and notifications silently... Receiving texts and messages without trying to read my iPhone while I'm biking is another great benefit. I can decide whether I should stop and attend to the message quickly or decide that the reply can wait. Setting timers and alarms via SIRI voice control is a breeze. For example reminding me to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer. Voice dictation when responding or composing messages or emails is very accurate, seems better than on the iPhone itself. Astoundingly the tiny speaker is very audible when using the Apple Watch as a speakerphone. Battery life is excellent. Starting at 7:00 am, I usually have 20-30% battery life left at the end of the day. When you're seventy plus, these many small benefits are wonderful and comforting.

    Like most Apple products, this is 'supposed' to be easy to set up. unlike most Apple products, this actually is easy to set up, doesnt take a lot of fiddling around to get it to connect, prepare and get apps on the go. The strap on this one looks great, feels quality and fits well. Battery life is an issue, you can just about get a day out of this if you dont use it too much. Maps is handy, and getting texts on your wrist is definitely a great thing.

    I'm so happy with the watch. I am able to see text messages, make phone calls and track my activity for the day. It works with my iPhone and if I happen to,leave my phone in one room I can answer it with my iwatch which is really pretty neat. I also love the Rose color and have had many compliments.

    I do like not having to have my phone out to see when notifications come in and the fitness tracking that the watch provides. Purchases from Apple Pay and for those places that can scan a code from the watch are also nice. While I didnt necessarily consider the watch to be something that was a must have, I have found it to be a nice extension of my iPhone.

    I bought this watch as an alternative for getting a FitBit and I am SO glad I did! Not only do I think it looks classier, but it is much more practical and has so many other purposes besides fitness tracking. It is easily dressed up or down with the variety of straps available. Wonderful idea! :)

    Love this watch! Bought the smaller one and I'm glad I did. Was easy to navigate and personalize. I was unsure about the color at first but I love it. I also swap the band for the black one every now and again which looks great.

    Love my new Apple Watch. It fits my wrist perfectly. I purchased the 38mm. I was worried it may be to large. I have a very small wrist. It's perfect. The case itself is also the right size. The band is so soft. I can't stop touching it. It is easy to use and navigate from screen to screen.

    Love the functionality! Great for work can stay on top of what emails are coming in and need to be responded to assp. Fitness tracker is a big help to keep me up and going. I really liked the subtle lavender color of the band it's not an obvious purple and the rose gold is a perfect match.
