Perfect Gift for anyone

I purchased this gift for my husband who's a wrists are little bigger than the one size fits most and it actually fit him perfectly. He loves this watch and uses it all the time. I'm actually going to purchase one for myself because the features on this watch are just amazing.

Not just for techies
Rating: 5
Love, love, love it! True to all things Apple, the design is beautiful, and the functions are intuitive and seamless. It is comfortable and lightweight setting snugly on my wrist until the next phone call or text. My motivation for purchasing Series 3 was safety and medical, to have constant access to phone and GPS in case of emergency. Love the activity tracker and heart rate monitor. I'm not a techie (70+ years old and still learning).

3rd Apple Watch
Rating: 5
This is my 3rd Apple Watch. I've had one from each series and can definitely say that this is by far the best one yet! Love the new band and the fact I don't need to be near my iphone ALL THE TIME! So helpful when I'm at the gym. Pair my headphones to the watch via Bluetooth and jam out to music and not worry about missing a call or text. A MUST HAVE!

LOVE the Apple Watch!
Rating: 5
I love the Apple watch, it was an early Christmas gift from my husband. I was tossed between a Fitbit and the Apple watch and he surprised me with it over the weekend. It makes me want to be more active and helps me to be more conscious about my health. I would recommend the Apple watch to everyone

Love it!!

I originally had the Apple Watch 1st generation but got rid of it since it was not water proff, when I saw the reveal of the 3rd generation I knew I had to have it and I love it! I can leave my phone at home to run earns and answer a quick call on the tiny speaker reply black quickly to text messages while at work either by scribing them or talking to the watch! I have convinced my brother to get one him self

Best Price

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.
