    My Wife Loves Her Christmas Gift

    I can't say enough good things about my wife's Apple Watch Sport hat I gave her for Christmas. She loves the fitness tracking, the style, and the joy of not missing calls or texts. Now she has hers and I have mine.

    I've been looking at the Apple Watch since it was first released. I wanted to give it some time to see how people liked it. Most reviews were positive so I decided to buy it. I am very pleased with it and glad I bought one. It paired easily with my phone and is easy to use as well. If you are an Apple fan, you will like the watch.

    We're Apple People, so we expected a lot from this item. Also, I'm a female, so I wasn't sure this watch would be feminine enough for every day wear. That was my only reservation. But, given Best Buy's lax return policies, I went for it. I love every bit of this watch. This particular combination (38mm gold case with antique white band) is beautiful, and it actually looks great stacked with some of my Yurman cable bracelets. I love that I'm not glued to my phone 24/7, anymore. I also love the fitness tracker on this watch. It keeps me on track. And lastly, I love how this watch allows me to keep in touch with folks so easily and efficiently. The microphone far exceeds the quality of the iPhone's, so dictated texts and phone conversations are a breeze. If you're on the fence, just go for it! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    This watch is very attractive and fun to use. There's never any connectivity Issues as I've had with other smart watches. The feature where u speak from your watch is pretty good and it sounds good from the other end. The o lay complaint I have is the battery life. You have to charge it usually every 23 hours.

    Another Amazing Apple Product

    I'm a huge Apple fan, at first I thought I'd wait till Apple Watch 2 came out, but after waiting a few months I couldn't stand it and had to get the Apple Watch. It fells good on the wrist, the controls took a few minutes to get use to, but it was easy to learn and I've worn it everyday since picking it up!

    I recently got this and I instantly fell in love with it. It lowers your chance of dropping your phone because you don't even need to take out your phone anymore to reply to text messages or to answer calls. I also love how I don't have to pull out my phone to check my time. Finally, it is very stylish.

    Got this for my wife, she loves it. If you have have iPhone this is the perfect companion. The only challenge I had was battery was only making it for a 8 hours a day. Unpaired it from the phone, wiped it, repaired it to the phone and it now it goes up to 2 days on a single charge.

    I had given up wearing a watch and now I can't live without one. Had a little trouble getting everything set up, Apple support was very helpful to get me on the right track. I got my first message while out shopping and I was amazed. I also appreciate the reminders to get up from my laptop (and work) and move around every hour. The time is easy to see and I'm definitely paying attention to my goals for being active. You can sync a playlist of up to 100 songs to the watch, so I always have my favorite tunes with me :) Before I bought the watch I was concerned with being able to actually "see" things on it--not an issue with accessibility options. The irony of "complications" or apps for the watch was not lost on me. If you're not 18-30, it can be frustrating to get the Apple watch sync-ed and set up. Give yourself a couple of days to explore and play around with it, and then it's like the iPhone--you're using it and can't remember when you didn't have one.

    This is my first smart watch, and I love it. Like all Apple products, it plays nicely with my phone and the only thing I would ask for is more apps that are compatible with the watch. Still a great buy, and more apps will come along as time passes! Love my Watch!

    Almost 5 stars but not quite

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

    First, even if you're not in the Apple ecosystem, you want a smart watch. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, you want THIS watch. There's no question. I don't need to repost all the praises highlighted in the other reviews, so I'll talk about the few picky things that led me to subtract a star, which was extremely painful for me to do. First, I do wish that the folks on Jony Ive's team had made the watch more beautiful. There, I said it. Yes, it's sleek. Yes, it's clean. No, it's not beautiful. Second, I wish they had paid attention to more detail on the accessories. For example, I have the rose gold case, but I'm not a fan of the lavender band that comes stock with the 28mm version. However, when you buy a new band it comes with stainless trim. This is even true with the Edition model. Boo. Third, the fitness app is pretty clumsy to use, which is really the main reason for me getting the watch. I've been using a Mio Alpha for heart rate monitoring, which is the gold-standard in wrist-based HRM. The Apple Watch is tough to use for constant HRM and I've had a heck of a time feeding heart rate data to third party apps. As a fitness watch I'd give it a B- for the serious athlete. It's more suited to the Planet Fitness-type of gym rat.

    Nice Investment

    I have only had it for about a week. I am still customizing my options. So far it is a neat tool to utilize at work, where I do not want to handle my phone. It was easy to sync to my phone. It is comfortable fit. The white band surprisingly stays clean. The only downfall for me is that I cannot track my sleep with an app, because I charge it at night.

    It's a beautiful ladies watch, the rose gold and lavender band go well together and create a feminine look. Over time, she has gone more and more comfortable using it and now loves it and really depends on various functions.

    Great Overall

    For quick-glance info. Need weather at a glance, or don't want to miss a call? Are you working in a place where it isn't easy to use your phone or even check it? This is for you. Easy wrist payments. I'm not saying Apple Pay on my wrist always makes sense, but as more terminals get Apple Pay I feel more and more like I'm in a wallet-less world. Turn-by-turn directions while driving. But you have to use Apple Maps to get the best experience, which doesn't always pick the most efficient routes. It's a pretty good fitness tracker. The Watch tracks steps, heart rate, and little daily achievements. And it works with a lot of third-party apps, even though they're not all great. Nice design, for a smartwatch. Lots of finishes and really good-looking bands.

    Great Gadget!

    I bought this a Christmas present for my wife and she loves it! We had no problems syncing it to her phone and getting set up, and she loves that she can get notifications and track her health. Additionally, apple makes beautiful products and this one is no exception. One word of advice: don't select the option to download all available apps on setup. A lot of apps you might have don't really have much functionality on the apple watch and tend to just clutter you screen space. Download the core apps that you use and then add apps on a need basis. All in all the Apple Watch is a great little gadget!

    The Apple Watch has quickly become one of those things that I can't leave home without. If I do leave it behind, I turn around and go get it. It's right up there with my phone. It goes everywhere with me.

    Best smart watch still

    I received an Apple Watch for Christmas and I liked it so much that I purchased one for my mom for Christmas as well. At the time Best Buy had a sale for it. This is around 12/27.. I bought my mom presents already and this one an additional present :-) she loves it too. We are petite and the watch fits nicely on us without any discomfort. The screen size is perfect and it goes with everything. It def is not a necessity for the iPhone but certainly a very nice accessory to have. It is the best one compared to what is out.. Yes android brands included and even compared to pebble. Love it and don't regret it one bit!! Got my mom the black and space grey model. For Christmas I got the lavender rose gold model.

    Fun Gadget, A Little Slow

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

    After wanting an Apple Watch since they were announced, I finally bought one in May. I've had it for about two months now, and I've been really happy with the purchase. They are definitely not a necessity, but they're fun gadgets to have, I think they're stylish, and if you're a busy person they definitely are useful. Sometimes the apps open a little slowly for my liking, but it's definitely something I can live with. The size is just right for my small wrists and hands, and I love the color of the watch and the band. I've been very pleased with my Apple Watch, and I encourage getting one if you're a gadget geek, a mobile power user, or a big Apple fan.
