    Beautiful, but not worth it to me

    Posted .

    This watch itself was beautiful. I love the feminine rose gold and lavender. However, I have a 5S and the watch killed my battery and slowed the internet to a crawl on my phone. It only worked well on wifi. I have heard this is not an issue for the iPhone 6--I can't speak from experience there but want to give a well rounded review. I did like the apps. For example you can have your budget, fitness/health plan, schedule, tip calculator, weather, and vibration only alarms on your wrist. In concept this is a great idea, but the functionality is SO limited (like mostly read only) that I'd have to take out my phone anyways--which because of the watch now had low battery and was super slow online. It just became really annoying and honestly wasted more time than it saved. Another thing I didn't like was the screen does not show the time 24/7. You have to lift your wrist for the black screen to show time; otherwise the screen/watch face is black majority of the time. Another thing, I know is important is that I tried on the larger watch and was concerned about going smaller simply because I have smaller wrists. I honestly did not notice a huge difference in functionality between the sizes so if that is concern for you, the smaller watch works just as well as the large watch. The display is very similar and there is no functionality lost when using the smaller size watch. I was glad that I chose the smaller watch because it looked a lot better on my small wrists. Another negative is the battery life does not last very long. You have to charge the watch every night, maybe multiple times a day if you are using the watch a lot. In conclusion, If you don't mind limited functionality and have an iPhone 6 this watch will probably be great for you. However, for me it just wasn't worth it. I'm hoping in the future they add more functionality and better performance overall..maybe even the ability to be away from your phone and still have the watch apps/features function properly. I returned it, but I'm holding out hope that future models will be better.

    Like it a lot

    I like this watch more than I thought I would and I'll probably wear it more than I originally planned. I think it does a lot more than I've discovered yet. I think the 38mm size looks best on my wrist. It is less bulky than the 42mm.

    Great watch

    At first, I really wasn't blown away with the watch due to the fact that I always have my phone on me. As time went on, I began to appreciate it more and more until one day I forgot it and kept looking at my wrist constantly. Is it a need? No. Is it easier than digging into your pocket to pull out your phone (which sounds lazy, but I work in a refrigerated warehouse as a supervisor and I keep covered up -not to mention I don't allow cell phone use on the floor)? You bet! I would like some upgrades, like GPS, or a louder speaker, but for a 1st generation product, this is pretty good.

    I am not a watch person but this changed it all. This watch looks nice with a dressy dress or casual outfit. I love the fact that my watch mirrors my phone so when I'm at work and I get a message I can just flip to see who is calling or texting me, specially when I always have my hands busy. I also like the feature where you can write with your finger to another person who has an Apple Watch.

    I really love it, I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it, but after just hours of using it, I realized it has been one of the best purchases I made in my life. It is very easy to learn how to use it and it's so freaking pretty!! I totally recommend it!

    What's not to lover about Apple in general?

    Apple Watch is the best smart watch out there. Yes it may be a little more expensive but I love my apple watch. I used it for the first 5 minutes and had a blast highly recomended that you buy one even though it gets a little pricey it was well worth it.

    Amazing little watch!

    I purchased this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I got the smaller faced watch and was initially worried, but pleasantly relieved that he loved it just as much (if not more) than the larger watch. It is easy to use and lightweight. He loves being able to take calls on the watch and even hear his GPS directions through it while driving. All in all, this was a great purchase!

    Nice Watch but scratches easily

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

    Got this watch as a gift. Its a nice feminine color, however I highly recommend buying a screen protector for the watch. The glass is not sapphire like the more expensive models, so after two days of wearing it i can see little scratches on my screen. Its not super noticeable unless the screen is off, but for being "sport" its not very sport resistant . I had very high expectation for apple watch but I have to keep reminding myself that this is a WATCH not a mini smart phone. Other than that it looks nice, does it job of telling time very well.

    Perfect for Fitness

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

    I got this for Christmas after purchasing a Fitbit Charge HR, as well as a Polar A360. I returned both after realizing the deal BestBuy was offering on the Apple Watch Sport. My main concern with the device was fitness tracking, and as far as I'm concerned, this device is fully capable as a fitness tracker. I love everything about it. It is much more stylish as well.

    Love the options, but question the necessity

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

    I primarily got this because of the sweet deal and if it turns out that I don't like it, it isn't a huge investment and Apple products hold Trade-In/resell value pretty well. So far I've only done very basic functions with it. I really am looking forward to heart rate monitoring function when I get back into the gym after the holidays. I appreciate all of the accessories (bands) that are available. This allows it to "match" any outfit.

    Fantastic watch

    Love my iWatch. Not only does it keep absolutely accurate time, but it lets me know when I receive a txt, email, notification, reminder. Love that I can change the watch face when the spirit moves me. Best Buy made the watch purchase and Apple Care easy. Great watch and great store...and they have many bands should I want a different color in the future.

    I fully enjoy this product. I comes in handy at work, so I can view my messages quicker than pulling out my phone. Plus I like the fact that it has a pedometer. I feel it keeps a better more accurate status on my steps then my Fitbit. And I feel this will last a lot longer than my Fitbit. Over all I'm very pleased with this product.

    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.
