Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the watch, it's nice to be notified about texts and calls without looking for my phone. It's not something I needed, but it is fun I do wish the band and accessories were not so costly.

In love with my Apple Watch. I wanted a fitness tracker and without a doubt I made the best decision to stick with Apple. I am used to Apple software, so it was easy to navigate. So much fun.

The Apple Watch was a gift and it has worked great since I got it for Christmas. Does all I need it to do and comes in handy for tracking my fitness goals. So good I bought one for my fiance'.

Bought this on a whim because it was on sale and had only thought about getting one. Glad I did! It's nice to have. Runs seamlessly with my phone and super convenient features for my work too.

Bought this for my wife and she's enjoying it. She says it takes a little getting used to but it's a nice extension to her iphone. The sound quality is surprisingly good. The new lavender color gives this techie item a nice feminine touch.

I've been using since Christmas and really like the notifications as well as being able to answer the phone from the watch (environment needs to be pretty quiet). I have several Pebble watches and loved them, but I give this watch the upper hand. More accessories and compatibility with phone are great.

I stopped wearing watches until this guy came along. I acutally won a similar watch through my company and decided to buy one for my wife. First of all, the .38mm is a good size. What I like is not having to dig for my pockets to see why my phone is buzzing. I can easily see text messages, photos from the text, even GIFs. I love the speaker phone feature as well. The sound is good, but not great. I attribute this to the watch size. But because my wife has the phone, we get to interact in different ways (see apple watch videos for this). Shazam works seemless. You can also set up your phone and take a picture from the phone using the watch. This comes in handy with group selfies and general survalence. There are other features that coincide with fitness, but I have yet to use those. I hate the band though. there are plenty of aftermarket options, which is why I went with the sport to begin with. The changing station is not really practical, which is where a star is lost. I will be looking for a combo phone and watch charging station.

It got me up and moving and working on getting back in shape. I do not miss calls now. I'm kept up to date on weather and my sports team. Liked it so much, I bought my son one for graduation

Originally purchased for tracking my fitness. But found the text, email, calendar alerts to be great. Now I use it for work as much as for play. Just love the rose gold case and lavender strap

Watch is very good for beginners, it's easy to use and it's very affordable. I would recommend this watch for all those who exercise, great speakers for music and talking. Fast and simple text

I have never had one thing to complain about this watch. I love not having to have my phone around me all the time and still know when my family is trying to get a hold of me.

I bought this for my wife, it is perfect for her in size, and she lived it! It does what it is suppose to do perfectly and works for her life!

This smartwatch is at the top of its class. Form and function are excellent. The quality of the materials is top notch. Ease of set up and use make for a great experience for this smartwatch.

I purchased the Apple Watch for my lady as a Christmas present. Based on our conversations, although she is still exploring the features, she is completely happy and satisfied with her gift.

Super easy to use. Fun to play with. Lots of functionality. Makes keeping up with notifications so much easier. Love that the band can easily be switched out for different styles or colors.

I enjoy my watch for the features of watch, Apple Pay, health features, integration with maps. It syncs with my phone. Battery Lasts more than 1 day, but not two full days. I recommend it!

I purchased this for my wife for Valentine's day. She loves how easy it was to setup and start using. Didn't realize she needed wireless headphones to listen to music but she is loving it.

It's perfect for my lifestyle. If I can't get to my phone my watch is my next best thing. I use it to reply to text messages, answer the phone, read emails and track my workouts. Love it!!

Prior to buying the Apple Watch, I had been using a Pebble for about a year (first the original, then upgraded to the Pebble Time). I was on iOS, so I was not able to respond to texts, and there were a few other areas lacking integration because of Apple's closed ecosystem. I really enjoyed the convenience of a smart watch, so I bought the Apple Watch (once they discounted it by $100) to really give it a fair shot and see which platform I preferred. The build of the Apple Watch was great, obviously. The presentation and unboxing were very much "Apple". But once I strapped it to my wrist, turned it on, and paired it, the fun was over. Right off the bat, the complexity was overwhelming. I am a software developer and I love gadgets, so I'm a proficient technology user, but there were just too many controls and settings. I ended up just mirroring all of the apps on my phone and plowed ahead. I then immediately figured out how to silence any sound coming from the watch. I hate when my phone goes off in public, much less my watch. I then tested out the much-touted "haptic feedback", but could barely feel a thing. I prefer my watch to be slightly loose, so this may have been the problem. I turned on the "prominent haptic" setting, and it ended up feeling pretty much exactly like the vibration of my Pebble. So far, not impressed. I then proceeded to look through the watch faces and customized a couple with the complications that I preferred. They were nice, but there wasn't a lot to choose from. It was at this point that the screen going on and off was already starting to bother me. Not only could I not just glance down at the watch to see the time, but with the screen being very much like a phone screen, when it did light up, it was so glaring and obvious. On, off. I'd move around a bit...on, off. Light up, go dim...over and over. It was very distracting. I then decided to make myself a cup of coffee...this would enable to me to try out a timer, as I use an AeroPress and need to watch the time go by to perform different steps. The easiest way to accomplish setting the timer was using Siri, which worked fine, but I would rather not have to speak the command just to set a timer. I'm sure I could have done it another way, but searching and swiping and looking at tiny app dots just seemed like too much, so I went with Siri. The timer started, and.....the screen went dark. Huh. I need to see the time...the whole time. Is there a glance for that? Do I have to put the timer in a complication on the watch screen? Do I have to have Siri tell me the time? I just want to see the time!! I gave up and used my microwave timer. I guess if I just needed the timer set for a specific time and just be alerted at the END of that time, it would be fine. But I needed to do perform steps along the way, so I came away frustrated. I then decided to try out having Siri play me some music. I tried asking her to play Adele. Every time, she would try to look up Adele on the internet instead of playing her music from iTunes. I tried a couple of other artists which were hit and miss, but each time I tried Adele, no success. I let some music play, and then wanted to skip a track. I had to wake up the watch, swipe up on the screen, swipe through glances to get to the music one, and then skip the song. All the while, seeing the precious battery percentage getting lower and lower. If I wanted to then change the volume a few seconds later, it was back to the wake up the watch, swipe up for glances, swipe over to the music, and change the volume. It felt like it was so much faster and easier on my phone. I played around a bit more with the other apps, but pretty much all of them were extremely slow to load. I decided to put the watch away for the evening, and give it one more shot the next day. The next day I read some of the manual online and tried out a few more features, but again, the processes all felt overwhelming while the performance felt underwhelming. I just came away frustrated after every attempt to accomplish something. So after 2 days, I took back the watch. I really wanted to like it, but I just...didn't. Not at all. Not one bit. I really think that Pebble has nailed what a smartwatch should be. No, the build quality is not as great. No, the screen is not a touchscreen and it's not all bright and perfect. But it's a watch first that can do other handy things as well. They understand that a watch interaction should only last a couple of seconds at a time. A glance to see the time with an always on screen. I glance at a notification, and a simple button press to dismiss it. A battery that lasts for days, so I feel like I can use any function available and not worry about how much battery I'm using. I can leave the music app up on the screen, and if I want to change a song or the volume...press a button. Quick and easy. There are quick launch buttons for your favorite apps...one button press and you're there. I can use it in the shower to control my podcasts...no touch screen, so the water doesn't bother the screen. I can use the buttons with gloves on. I can sleep in it and use it as my alarm clock because the battery lasts for a week. I can press the button for snooze from under my pillow because with physical buttons, I don't have to look at the screen and swipe around to control it. I can pick between thousands of watch faces and if I feel like it, just make my own. Perhaps if I would have started with the Apple Watch as my first smartwatch, I might love it because I had nothing else to compare it to. But for me and my money, I'd rather have a Pebble any day. It does things my phone can't do (go into the shower, the pool, screen on all the time, vibrate to wake me up in the morning) -- it feels like there's a standalone purpose to it, not just as a companion device that only performs the same functions as my phone. I'm sure the Apple Watch will improve over time like all Apple devices, but I really think they should try to do less instead of more.

The Apple watch looks great and functions exactly as expected. If you love your iPhone you'll feel like you're cheating, because you'll only want to use the watch and all its cool features.
