    Love the Apple Watch

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I waited for the price to go down to purchase this watch and so glad I did. I love the feel on my wrist, the different features that it has are outstanding! I have spoken on the phone, replied to texts, read email, tracked my exercise, view photos and used several as the watch face, checked weather, set alarms, played music, and there's so much more! I am able to receive WhatsApp messages to my watch but cannot initiate a post-hopefully it will be added as an Apple watch app soon! Great deal going on now- get it!

    I've had Apple Watch several months now and use many features, especially fitness tracking, texting with Siri, Apple Pay, even checking in at LA Fitness! Also answer phone calls on occasion. I set up my favorite stock as a complication, so I can check price movements just by raising my wrist. Can't wait for this to replace my wallet, car keys, door key, etc. also love sending heart beats to my S.O.

    I tried a pebble, and didn't like it. Cheap feeling and just wasn't what I was hoping for. I returned it and bought this apple watch instead. I recommend this to anyone who is already vested with apple products don't get a fitbitor a pebble, spring for the good stuff, the one I know will work with all my current 'Apple gear'

    So much better than other "watches"

    I got a different "watch" or "band" for my wife for her birthday. She hated it. It was uncomfortable, ugly, and not very useful. So, we returned that and got an Apple Watch. She loves it. It is stylish, functional, and comfortable. It helps that she can get quick glances of things when she is running around the house. She also loves the function where she can ping the phone easily when she misplaces it (which happens a lot). So, all in all, it is an awesome product!

    Great Apple Design. Battery Life Suffers.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Apple products in my view always look expensive and have a clean and modern feel, this apple watch is no exception. The screen and layouts for each section are visually appealing and again top notch. The ability to respond to text messages quickly is a plus for me. I haven't used a lot of the functions yet, but the turn by turn navigation seems like a pointless feature to me, but you can turn it off if you don't want your phone to send that info to your watch as well. I haven't had a chance to go through all the features so some things on my wishlist may be doable, I just haven't figured it out yet. I wish you could remove app icons for things that come on the watch, like the Stocks, World Clock, etc. I just dont use those and they are taking up valuable real estate on the small screen. The battery has a short life between charging as well. I got 2 days out of it once, but most days it only lasts 24 hours and I don't even use it that much. A nice feature would be to turn it off while I sleep automatically, or at least set a do not disturb/low power schedule, from 10pm-6am for example. I can put it in power reserve mode, but that is an extra step that I will probably forget. Another concern is how waterproof it is. Apple states it is water resistant. Basically from splashes, etc. If I recall they don't recommend wearing in shower or the pool. I did put my hand under the sink a couple times and so far so good. I have also seen videos of people testing in swimming pools for long periods, but this is not me suggesting you do it. Overall I like it better than any other smart watch, fitness band I have owned, but the battery life really bothers me more than anything else.

    Beautiful, but not worth it to me

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This watch itself was beautiful. I love the feminine rose gold and lavender. However, I have a 5S and the watch killed my battery and slowed the internet to a crawl on my phone. It only worked well on wifi. I have heard this is not an issue for the iPhone 6--I can't speak from experience there but want to give a well rounded review. I did like the apps. For example you can have your budget, fitness/health plan, schedule, tip calculator, weather, and vibration only alarms on your wrist. In concept this is a great idea, but the functionality is SO limited (like mostly read only) that I'd have to take out my phone anyways--which because of the watch now had low battery and was super slow online. It just became really annoying and honestly wasted more time than it saved. Another thing I didn't like was the screen does not show the time 24/7. You have to lift your wrist for the black screen to show time; otherwise the screen/watch face is black majority of the time. Another thing, I know is important is that I tried on the larger watch and was concerned about going smaller simply because I have smaller wrists. I honestly did not notice a huge difference in functionality between the sizes so if that is concern for you, the smaller watch works just as well as the large watch. The display is very similar and there is no functionality lost when using the smaller size watch. I was glad that I chose the smaller watch because it looked a lot better on my small wrists. Another negative is the battery life does not last very long. You have to charge the watch every night, maybe multiple times a day if you are using the watch a lot. In conclusion, If you don't mind limited functionality and have an iPhone 6 this watch will probably be great for you. However, for me it just wasn't worth it. I'm hoping in the future they add more functionality and better performance overall..maybe even the ability to be away from your phone and still have the watch apps/features function properly. I returned it, but I'm holding out hope that future models will be better.

    I like this watch more than I thought I would and I'll probably wear it more than I originally planned. I think it does a lot more than I've discovered yet. I think the 38mm size looks best on my wrist. It is less bulky than the 42mm.

    Great watch

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    At first, I really wasn't blown away with the watch due to the fact that I always have my phone on me. As time went on, I began to appreciate it more and more until one day I forgot it and kept looking at my wrist constantly. Is it a need? No. Is it easier than digging into your pocket to pull out your phone (which sounds lazy, but I work in a refrigerated warehouse as a supervisor and I keep covered up -not to mention I don't allow cell phone use on the floor)? You bet! I would like some upgrades, like GPS, or a louder speaker, but for a 1st generation product, this is pretty good.

    I am not a watch person but this changed it all. This watch looks nice with a dressy dress or casual outfit. I love the fact that my watch mirrors my phone so when I'm at work and I get a message I can just flip to see who is calling or texting me, specially when I always have my hands busy. I also like the feature where you can write with your finger to another person who has an Apple Watch.

    I really love it, I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it, but after just hours of using it, I realized it has been one of the best purchases I made in my life. It is very easy to learn how to use it and it's so freaking pretty!! I totally recommend it!

    Apple Watch is the best smart watch out there. Yes it may be a little more expensive but I love my apple watch. I used it for the first 5 minutes and had a blast highly recomended that you buy one even though it gets a little pricey it was well worth it.

    Amazing little watch!

    I purchased this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I got the smaller faced watch and was initially worried, but pleasantly relieved that he loved it just as much (if not more) than the larger watch. It is easy to use and lightweight. He loves being able to take calls on the watch and even hear his GPS directions through it while driving. All in all, this was a great purchase!

    Nice Watch but scratches easily

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Got this watch as a gift. Its a nice feminine color, however I highly recommend buying a screen protector for the watch. The glass is not sapphire like the more expensive models, so after two days of wearing it i can see little scratches on my screen. Its not super noticeable unless the screen is off, but for being "sport" its not very sport resistant . I had very high expectation for apple watch but I have to keep reminding myself that this is a WATCH not a mini smart phone. Other than that it looks nice, does it job of telling time very well.

    I got this for Christmas after purchasing a Fitbit Charge HR, as well as a Polar A360. I returned both after realizing the deal BestBuy was offering on the Apple Watch Sport. My main concern with the device was fitness tracking, and as far as I'm concerned, this device is fully capable as a fitness tracker. I love everything about it. It is much more stylish as well.

    Love the options, but question the necessity

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I primarily got this because of the sweet deal and if it turns out that I don't like it, it isn't a huge investment and Apple products hold Trade-In/resell value pretty well. So far I've only done very basic functions with it. I really am looking forward to heart rate monitoring function when I get back into the gym after the holidays. I appreciate all of the accessories (bands) that are available. This allows it to "match" any outfit.

    Love my iWatch. Not only does it keep absolutely accurate time, but it lets me know when I receive a txt, email, notification, reminder. Love that I can change the watch face when the spirit moves me. Best Buy made the watch purchase and Apple Care easy. Great watch and great store...and they have many bands should I want a different color in the future.

    I fully enjoy this product. I comes in handy at work, so I can view my messages quicker than pulling out my phone. Plus I like the fact that it has a pedometer. I feel it keeps a better more accurate status on my steps then my Fitbit. And I feel this will last a lot longer than my Fitbit. Over all I'm very pleased with this product.
