I love my watch. Wonder why I waited.. I love anything apple.

Bought Feb 2016 and it has now fell apart Feb 2018 The dial face just fell off of the watch. $553 down the toilet

I purchased the 42mm stainless steel watch, sapphire crystal with sport strap when it was on sale for 100 dollars less than list - GREAT PRICE. Best Buy was the only place I saw this deal. I then bought a third party mesh strap which is indistinguishable from Apples and saved another 80 bucks. The watch must be on your wrist and actvly paired to your IPhone to do anything but tell time. This will probably change with the next generation but as it is now, seriously limits functionality. If your working day is much more than 8 - 10 hours the watch won't make it through the day. Induction charging is a nice feature but if the watch could be charged via a lightning connection, a portable battery/charger could be used to extend up time. Don't expect to have phone conversations through the watch unless your in a very quiet place - the speaker is not loud enough and the watch can't connect to a blue tooth headphone.

I was definitely of the opinion that the Apple Watch was a waste of time when it was first announced. I thought there was NO way I'd be getting one. I like wearing watches ($300-$800 range) and wear one everyday to work where we have a business casual dress code. I have a decent collection of watches already and couldn't imagine just not wearing them anymore in favor of a smartwatch, since it'd have to be worn everyday to be worth having. And certainly didn't want that nerdy tech geek look that wearing a smartwatch would bring. One day I actually played around with an Apple Watch in an Apple Store for the first time. Lo and behold I actually liked it! I decided to purchase one from my local BB with the intent to return it within the return window because I was SURE I'd get over that initial new buy feeling soon and would realize it just wasn't necessary. To my surprise I actually found the watch useful! It was like wearing one of my daily watches, but with more functionality. No more trying to reach into my pocket for my phone while driving to read a text message, or not even feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket when receiving a new message. With the watch vibrating for every new message I couldn't miss anything. The Activity app is very undervalued. It's quite nice that my daily movements are tracked and calories burned shown. It actually gives me the desire to want to do more physical activity to reach the daily goal. I picked the Milanese Loop model because I thought it looked classier and would go better with what I wear to work everyday. I was right and am not disappointed. I've received a few compliments so far on how nice it looked. Definitely glad I made the purchase. It's certainly not for everyone, especially if you're the type who doesn't wear a watch regularly. For me its perfect and I like it a lot!

Just a note about me. I'm an accountant that goes to the gym 5-6 times a week. I've been considering the Apple Watch for a while. I had a Microsoft band and it was fine. A little clunky but served its purpose. It worked great for my workout and when I am doing work around the house. However it did not look very good when I wore it to work, especially when I had to wear a suit. So I quit wearing it. I had looked at the sport version of the Apple watch and it just looked kind of cheap to me. When the watch went on sale this past December I looked again. With $100 off it was a little easier to swallow. Nice present for myself. At first I thought I would not like the milanese strap for a guy. It's actually really nice. Looks sharp for work and when I go out. I like the notifications and that I don't have to get my phone out of my pocket. Comes in very handy in meetings. I don't wear it to work out. I was always knocking my band on a wall or equipment so I don't want to scratch this up. I use it as I would any other dress watch. It just has a lot of additional features. The display is great very crisp. No problem reading texts and short emails. No problem syncing with my phone. I always have to reset my Microsoft band to connect. I would recommend this as a watch, maybe look at the sport if you want to exercise with it. As far as the Milanese band goes, it is very stylish. I have large wrists and it fits perfectly. It is also nice that you can tighten or loosen it as needed. I also have fairly hairy arms and it has only grabbed a hair once or twice. The magnet does slip occasionally but nothing that would make me feel like it would fall off. Overall very happy.

Great device. Convenient in everyday life. Love the notifications and being able to do quick reply. Siri is even more accurate than my 5s. I voice dictate texts daily via Siri. Stand reminders are helpful. Fitness part also excellent. Tracks my exercise accurately...more so than my treadmill which tends to give bloated/optimistic calorie burns. Very comfy to wear. I charge every evening at dinner time and wear to bed.

The watch as with most apple products is sleek, stylish, and cutting edge. It is such a great extension of the iPhone that it would be hard to get along without once you use it. The convenience of not having to drag the phone out of your pocket for every notification, message, alert, or call is undeniably a convincing argument to own one. The health and fitness monitoring and apps surpass other fitness bands I have tried. The ease of access to any app or feature is amazing. It charges quickly and last me 1-2 days depending on use. Making or answering a call from your wrist is easy but audio quality can be improved. Now if only they add a camera for FaceTime!

So, I REALLY wanted to love the Apple watch. While I am not a true Apple "fan boy", I do enjoy the overall design of their products. Pros: - Great for notifications. I tend to run my phone on silent, so getting a vibration alert on my watch is great to quickly check notifications, without being fully interrupted. - I like being able to reply back to text / IM messages with a quick response on my watch - I have an ATT Digital Life security system. The Apple watch app allows me to disarm / unlock my front door & garage. This is pretty cool :P. - Apple pay on the Apple watch is convenient and useful, if you use it. Cons: - The touch / limited buttons take some getting used to - I am a fitness junkie, and I count calories. I depend on my smart watch to give me an accurate caloric burn. The Apple watch algorithm for caloric burn tends to be off by about 900 - 1200 calories / day. That is pretty significant, and basically makes the watch useless as a fitness device. I highly recommend the Fitbit Blaze for true fitness tracking. - The battery only lasts about 24 hours (in comparison to other devices where the battery lasts 4-5 days) All in all, if you are looking for a fitness watch...get a fitbit. They still have the best package on the market (and I have tried them all). If you are looking for a cool toy to wear around your wrist, and check notifications...get the apple watch.

He loved this gift & Christmas was perfect just because he had talked about wanting this watch soooo much way before Apple actually released them. He has been like a kid with a new toy since he opened it but I have to admit, we both feel like spies incognito since he bought me one as well!!! Love how we don't have to be in front of our cell phones as much, in that the watch handles all of the ordinary AND extraordinary things our IPhones do. Well worth the price, although we both received $100 discount during the sale! Another great apple product to add to our growing collection!

The new watch from Apple is everything they say it is. It is a phone, it receives and responds to emails, it receives messages, it monitors your exercise, and reminds you to do something if you sit to long. It keeps track of stock prices, weather, and up to date news from both local TV stations and USA Today. In addition to all the great things it does, it also tells time!

I'm a watch person and I wear one everyday. I also own pretty much every Apple product so I got one of these because it made sense and I wanted to try it. It didn't come charged which sucked, and I had to go to work, so day one I didn't get to try it much. Then I got it charged up and set up and haven't taken it off since. It's incredibly convenient to be able to see my messages at a glance without taking my phone out of my pocket and emails and such. Plus the time of course. There's a lot of customization to it as well. Make sure to check online for the adapter that enables you to use any watch band and you'll be very happy. If you're a watch/Apple/tech person then this is the perfect treat!

As someone who owns many high end swiss time pieces I really hesitated to invest in this watch. BUT curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it. I have quickly discovered that this isn't just a watch but a true functional instrument/device that can monitor/ multi task so many things we look at on a daily basis (stocks/weather/calendar/alarm/temperature/texts/email) all at a simple glance and on the main screen ! Will it replace expensive watches ....doubtful HOWEVER it is certainly something I see myself wearing at work and switching out from time to time with my other standard watches on weekends. It's worth taking the risk. Try it.....great Best Buy 14 day return policy anyway !!

At first this watch is intimidating. Hard to know what to do with it, how to integrate it. I chose to wear it and see what it would do on its own. Within a week I started to see the benefits. The alarms, nudges, reminders and appointments are great to have literally in hand. To receive and send messages and emails without using your phone is like the keyless cars. You quickly get accustomed with leaving your phone (like your keys) in your pocket. It is a great addition to my life.

Love the Apple watch with Milanese Loop. I wanted something semi-dressy and this fits the bill perfectly. I can wear it to any occasion and not feel under or over-accessorized. Also looks good with jeans and t-shirt. And the watch features themselves are fantastic. Notifications are awesome. Only pull your phone out of your pocket when an immediate response is required! I was on the fence at first and then Best Buy ran the $100 off deal and I snapped one up. Love it!

If you are debating between the sport edition and the watch, definitely save up and get the higher end model. The stainless steel is a bit heavier which makes it feel more like a high-end watch and is also far more appealing to the eye. The metal choice makes it look more like a watch than a small iPhone sitting on your wrist (which is what the aluminum frame of the sport edition basically resembles). If you need something light and durable for high impact sports, perhaps opting out for the sport edition is more along your lines. Furthermore, the sapphire crystal makes the display far more durable and scratch resistant than the ion-x tempered glass of the sport edition. Overall, the appearance of the watch version over the sports version is worth the additional cost!

The Apple Watch is made of quality materials and performs as described. The link between the watch and my iPhone works great, no syncing problems or response delays. The fitness tracking aspects of the watch work better than any other wearable I have tried and the watch and bands hold up great to rigorous workout routines. In meetings the watches haptic response notifications are sufficient to get my attention for incoming calls, messages, etc however not so strong that they surprise you. It provides a great subtle way to monitor your calls and messages without staring at your phone every 10 minutes. I highly recommend the Apple Watch, I would have rated it 5 stars but the apps available at this time remain limited in their functionality.

Bought this after I saw a friends watch. I attend U of M twin cities and ride the train all day for classes. The app for the train is great and its so much easier with it on my wrist vs fumbling for my phone. Great for texts and calls too. Just soooo more convenient!!!!! The upgraded stainless steel version is so nice. With the sapphire crystal face and stainless case and band, the watch is a fine piece of jewelry not just a cheap, nerdy looking gadget. Its very classy and much more durable as well.

This watch is amazing. I own a lot of Apple products and was hesitant on purching this because I figured I wouldn't need all this because I already own a iPhone 6 Plus. I was totally wrong. The notifications on this is the biggest perk as I can just leave my phone on counter or pocket and just go all my communication from email, texts, and calls from watch. Also, the other bells and whistles are great. The only regret is spending so much on the stainless steel and should of just got the sport as the stainless is heavier. My wife got the sport and difference is noticeable. I don't mind the weight now since I'm used to it. The stainless does have better perks thought from the screen being better to being stainless steel. I got the black stainless steel and it looks sharp.

I have the Apple 6 plus 128GB, what an amazing pairing of technology! Apple truly outdid themselves with the watch! My SS Space Black watch has been absolutely flawless, from design, function, appearance to ease of operation. My watch has made communication and contact as effortless as it gets! All the features are becoming second nature, especially when your hands are full, or when riding your motorcycle, being active. Siri is amazing; from turning on your Pandora Rafio to giving you much needed directions and mapping easily seen from your wrist at a glance, never having to take your eyes off the wheel! I love the display, the features, the watch.

My wife gave me an Apple Watch for Christmas, in large part because she couldn't think of anything else other than the new Springsteen boxed set (she gave me that too). I've had it for about a month now. So I've barely scratched the surface in terms of what it does. It's an interesting device that is by no means essential to one's life. At work, due to our e-mail setup (using office e-mail for personal stuff is grounds for termination) it's nice to have my watch telling me when family members are e-mailing or sending a text message. I set it so the watch only notifies me of "VIP" contacts because otherwise it'd ding constantly due to spam and the like. Doing it this way is far less obvious than having your mobile phone out on your desk. It also dings when I have an upcoming item on my calendar, so that's helpful. In terms of the fitness tracking, I don't get nearly enough exercise and so far I've been liking the way the watch tracks your movement and activity and sets you a daily goal. On my commute I can either ride the subway to a stop near the office and walk two blocks or ride a different line and walk about .7 of a mile (or on Fridays, we drive and I walk from my wife's office, about a mile each way). Since I've gotten the watch I've started doing the longer walk more often. This sounds cheesy, but having the thing giving me a goal to reach makes me more likely to want to do that walk than if I just have an abstract sense of "I need more exercise." I find it easier to make myself get up and do something when I have something tracking my progress than when I just have an amorphous goal of "go for a walk." The other thing that's interesting is to see how far you walk just moving around cleaning the house on the weekend, going up and down the stairs and such. Of course, none of those features, other than maybe the e-mail, text message, and calendar integration, is unique to the Apple Watch. I'm sure there are other devices that have the e-mail/etc. integration and obviously which one makes sense if you want that depends on what platform you already use for your phone and such. I don't have a valid point of comparison against other devices, and obviously the fact that I received it as a present moots the price issue for me (I did buy a second band for $150 and I really like it, the "Milanese Loop"). But after living with this sort of device for a month now, I have to say it's a useful class of device depending on your lifestyle and your needs. The conundrum is what to do as to nice watches one already have. I had five watches. I've taken to wearing the Apple Watch on my left wrist and one of the others on my right wrist depending on what kind of shirt I'm wearing (different cuffs don't always fit certain watches well). Going to be interesting wearing the Apple Watch while clearing snow this weekend!
