    It’s perfect, I was wanting a simple watch to see if I would like a smart watch and I love it. Best Buy refurbished was amazing and I have no complaints about the watch.

    It does everything. It monitors my pulse, the stock market, the weather. It can turn on/off my house alarm. It can detect a hard fall or an episode of a-fib. It can also tell time.

    I upgraded from the series1 and this is a very worthwhile upgrade. The screen is larger and clearer and the battery life is way better. It’s also fully waterproof so you don’t have to worry about it in the shower or pool. It’s worth the upgrade!

    I purchased this for the heart monitor features, I now use it for email preview and messaging. Easy to read watch face. The walkie feature looks to be a promising feature also. Battery life was a concern and could be improved. Overall impressed

    This watch replaced my 42mm Series 2. The 5 series has lots of apps and will take time to sort out which ones I want to install and use. But the one I installed first was the heart rate monitor. The display is significantly better then the series 2 watch I had. I have no regrets getting the new one. Came with a white sport band but quickly replaced it with a standard brown leather band.

    Apple Watch Series 5 review: The best smartwatch gets (slightly) betterThe Apple Watch is still the best smartwatch. Though the Series 5 feels like a minor update to last year's Series 4, it will fit the bill for the vast majority of people buying Apple Watches for the first time.
