    Just a fancy fitness tracker

    After finally receiving my eagerly awaited Apple watch I was disappointed to find that not only was the watch lacking in some critical areas such as sleep monitoring and GPS, but it severely lacks in the app department. The fitness and health tracking apps with the Apple watch are leaps and bounds behind Fitbit and Jawbone. Because that was the main factor behind me dropping loads of cash for this Apple timepiece I was disappointed. Please save your money's for a rainy day.

    the apple features are great....getting messages, using it for directions but the heart rate monitor and distance monitors seem to be off. It won't take my heart rate if I am active or moving, which is the main reason I got it. The other features that are similar to the iphones are great. It does not stay charged long and that is a huge weakness. I have to charge it often, way more than my fitbit or I anticipated.

    The Apple Watch is great accessory for iPhone and iPad but the downside is it drains battery so fast specially when you are using the calorie meter .

    The band is NOT meant for an adult. Neither are most replacement bands. All are about 1/2 inch too small. Same issue for anyone else I know who has purchased the watch. Guess I'll be saving $$ in the long run.

    I love the overall look of the watch, it did what I needed it to do. As far as extras, there aren't too many, but I use it daily to track my fitness and it looks better than a Fitbit in my opinion!

    I bought the 38m but thought it was too small. I did not like this woven strap either. Felt cheapy. Returned it for the 42m with a sports band

    Not really as useful as I thought. If you want to use the watch as a fitness watch I suggest you go with the fit it instead.

    This is my least favorite apple product . If it isn't in power reserve mode it MUST be charged every 24 hrs, possibly more.

    Luved the idea of the Apple Watch & glad I received as a gift, just a lil hard to work. Locks up and within a month of owning, had to completely reset in order to get out of a locked black screen. Lots of smaller issues as well, however still the best sports tracker I've had so far. Torn on if I would buy knowing the trouble I've had. Hope Apple can remedy with updates.

    A nice watch but seems like it could more. I wish the health tracking would intergrate better with other apps and with the health app already in the phone. Seems like it should not be a separate app. I do like the texts and phone alerts in the watch without having to look at my phone.

    Ita an Apple Watch and that wears off in a few days. Not quite small enough to be an activity tracker for the fitness fanatic and not large enough to do all you want to do on a communication device. This would be a great buy if it cost $150 or less.

    I am reviewing this watch after 3 years of purchase, it is already outdated for a review, stay with the newer ones and remember, this will get obsolete in 3-5 years from release date

    Bought as a replacement for a brand name fitness tracker. Well made. Still learning about functionality, but so far so good. Wish that it classified more exercises seperately instead of as other.
