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!

Substantially lower price than All other stores (Amazon, Macys, Kohls, Target, Best Buy) at that time. I liked this watch as I already had one that I bought 2 yrs ago. These were gifts. Short of Apple Garmin makes best smart watches.

Great value, great product!
Rating: 4
Super easy to set up and super easy to use! Would recommend for a first smart watch. I got it for my sister and she loves being able to see how fast she is walking/running. The only issue is the steps are not 100% accurate, it is a little sensitive when in a bouncy car. The touch screen is amazing. I myself have the Fennix 5s and I find it looks similar. I love the metal around the face, makes it look way more expensive than it is. Great value! Get one before they are not available anymore.

it's great but Garmin needs to get it together as far as tech. watch looses downloads and won't connect to app because app is always broken. So if you have a favorite watch screen and their website goes down your watch screen goes away. just FYI

I give it 3 stars as it was not what I personally was looking for. For an average user, this doesn't really log steps correctly. I had some steps log while sitting at my desk. I had very few steps log while mowing my lawn. When I went out for a walk it registered steps almost exactly as I counted. So, I think there are some sensors that have to play together to make this work correctly. I did play with the GPS function and this is where it excelled. It tracked the precise location of my trek. I think this watch is more for a bicycler or runner. I ended up returning it, as I am neither one of those.

Wrist Band Causes Blisters and Keeps Odor
Rating: 2
I started with a Vivofit 3 as a beginner hiker and wanted an upgraded watch that could track sleep, heart rate, workouts, and GPS location. This watch met all the criteria but after wearing it normally as I would with the Vivofit 3, there was this awful odor the band absorbed. The wrist band gave me blistering so I have been switching wrists. After reading the Garmin forums I have been following regime where I rise the band and watch once a week to keep the odor and blistering at bay. Overall, its a great watch but the band needs better product development to avoid the cleaning regime so much.
