Texting is convenient
Rating: 5
I treated myself to buying this watch after my Fitbit was approaching 4 years old. This is my first Apple Watch. I use the texting feature most because it is so convenient. The one thing I don’t like about it is the game features. I downloaded solitaire and can’t figure out how to start a new game after I have ran out of moves.

Apple Watch Series 4 Black Sport band
Rating: 5
Really like the ability to change watch faces . The calls received on this watch are clear . Texting is a nice feature as well with voice to text abilities too. It's very easy to set up watch . The health monitoring features are nice . It's a very handy gadget . Makes it easier to access my calls and text without pulling phone out all the time . It's nice also to be able to slide different watch bands on and have options . Feel safer with fall dection and being Apple to call on wrists . The temperature displays on watch app is nice . Although watch is more for just calling and texting and it for internet sufferings it's still good to have this device . Overall it's been very nice to have .

Awesome Watch
Rating: 5
Been wanting one for such a long time. Syncs well with my iPhone. Love all the features and is easy to set up and use. Highly recommend to anyone with an iPhone. love the waterproof feature; I can wear my watch in the pool and still receive phone texts and calls, using my watch. Great addition. I also use it to guide my workouts and heart monitoring. It even syncs with Weightwatchers.

Love this Apple Watch!
Rating: 5
It has everything I could hope for. I also had the series 2 watch and in comparison I would say if you want a bigger screen the 44 won’t disappoint when you used to have the 42. The other reasons to upgrade obviously, are for the ECG and the fall detection. The only thing I’m not thrilled about (and being honest it’s all apple watches now) they took away the few animated emojis that were on the quick type.

Great Smart Watch!
Rating: 5
Got as a gift. This is my first smart watch other than a Fitbit and I’m enjoying it very much. No lagging issues, good size for me (40mm) and cool tricks like taking remote photos using your iPhone and automatic unlocking of my MacBook. I’ve taken phone calls with it and the other person said I was loud and clear and I could hear them just fine with the new louder speaker. I do wish it had more faces to choose from. battery isn’t bad but I wish it could go longer between charges.

My Mom LOVES it!
Rating: 5
My sister and I surprised our mom with this watch for Christmas and she absolutely loves it! Mom is not a tech person but she has been taking the time to learn about all the great features this watch has to offer. She even calls to boast about her new discoveries all the time. Mainly the heart rhythm and echocardiogram features which tracks and records when her heart is in Atrial Fibrillation. Vital information to pass along to her Cardiologist. Information that, if it weren’t for this watch, wouldn’t be known unless she was at the doctors office doing the tests or carrying around a heart monitor. Thank you Apple for making this watch. Thank you Sam’s Club for selling it.

Nice upgrade!
Rating: 4
Love the upgrades that were made to this watch. I wasn't really impressed with my last Apple Watch but this one is definitely a much better one. I also have a fitbit and in comparison, the new Apple Series 4 watch is much superior. It counts steps much more accurately as well as exercising. Here's a tip for you: if you previously owned any size watch in the past (38 or 42) the old straps will fit the 44mm. I previously owned a 38mm and all my straps (I collected them) fit my new watch. This made me really happy as I really don't like the watch band that comes with the Apple watches and I like to change them often with outfits. I took off a point as mine has a quirk in which the face changes for some unknown reason. I've had to change it twice which is a pain as I like to personalize my settings.

Love My Watch!
Rating: 4
I have had this watch for about a month and so far I am happy with it. I love the features! I think that the heart rate feature personally has been the best for me. I enjoy working out also and the reminders and ability to share my progress with friends is a true motivator. The only downside is that I purchased the gold watch and to me it looks more like a rose gold, but it’s still cute!

My wife loves it
Rating: 5
This product gives her everything she needs without loosing the fact that it is first and foremost a watch. She loves that she can customize her daily use and every watch face has a way to costumize it too. This was a great mothers day present. And she loved that it is big becauae she can see it easily without her glasses.

This is one sexy watch!
Rating: 5
I love this watch I wear it every day and I love the way it looks in comparison to my other Fossil Watches. I only wear Fossil watches Rather that be smart, hybrid, or analog because I love them so much. The silicone band is easy to clean. 10/10.

Beautiful Watch
Rating: 5
This is definitely the best Wear OS that's out right now. I love that this watch definitely looks like a watch. The watch is lightweight, runs very well, and comes loaded with lots of watchfaces. My favorite feature is the charging dock. No matter what way you plane it on the dock, the watch always charges.

Love it
Rating: 5
I love everything about this watch. How it looks. The functionality... such as heart rate monitoring, little speaker inside that channels my OK Google, the various watch faces, the quality of software, the ability to pay without pulling out my wallet or phone, the quality of screen,... It's all good.

Loks great and works great
Rating: 5
More storage and faster processor and faster memory than my Gen 4 Explorist. Apps load fast and smooth on this one. GPS is good. Messaging is faster than before. Not as heavy as past watch. One issue is if I hold my watch near my ear, it makes a tiny ticking noise, for no reason. must be interference in the speaker. Still not bad enough to get less than 5 stars to me. Yes I can use either watch on my android without having to set them up every time I switch.

Great Google's Wear OS watch!
Rating: 5
This is a great watch that can morph from a fitness tracker (with a silicon strap and digital face - for example, Essential Digital) to a fashionable time piece (with a leather strap - for example Cauwsai Crazy Horse Pattern Leather Watch Strap - and a classic face - for example, Minimal Dressy); see the photos. The straps are as easy to exchange as the faces. It integrates smoothly with my Pixel 4 XL and the Google-based tools, and the battery life is acceptable as it easily survives a whole day with some spare energy left for a longer evening. The charge is contact-based, but very convenient to use. I have not used any energy saving modes yet, since so far I did not have a need for them. I owned several fitness trackers (Fitbit, TomTom) and I have LG Watch Sport, and this is by far the best smart watch that can double as a fitness tracker (or the other ways around). It is also a fashion item, and I would argue that it looks better than Apple Watch or Fitbit Versa. Just for clarity, I have been a Mac user since I remember, and I used iPhones until I discovered Google Fi. I like Apple's design philosophy, and I believe that they would not shy away from Fossil Gen 5 if they made it.

Im really liking this watch i have a fitbit charge hr 2 before and wanted to find a watch it more features. pro: looks great charges fast has lots of customization was easy to sync with my pixel 3 cons: I can't get it to monitor my sleep (not sure if i need another app for that) 1 day battery life with all features on would like the band to have notches on the parts that hold down the band so it stay in place.

I would buy this again this time for my wife.

Love the watch, Wish the battery life was better

Beautiful,fast and the most comfortable smartwatch I've ever had. My Huawei 2 had much better battery life. If you can find a software update to make the battery life better and it will be fantastic.

The glass could be better
Rating: 3
I love the look and design of the Carlyle. I upgraded from a Skagen Falster 2 simply for the processor and a larger face. I've had the Skagen for some time now and had no issues. On the second day with my Gen 5 I noticed a damaged screen. I have a desk job and am not the most active. I've no clue what could have done it, but I would have imagined this latest watch would be more durable. Currently looking for repair solutions that won't cost more than the watch.
