Oh wow! So impressed with the delivery time. I think I got my watch 2 days after I ordered it. The watch was very well packaged too! The watch itself is exactly what I needed and wanted. I needed to replace my series 2 watch since the screen cracked and it wasnt worth getting fixed (unfortunately, thanks apple...), so the series 3 is perfect and does everything I need it to. Thank you Walmart!!

The Little Apple
Rating: 5
I have purchased this Apple Watch 3-series July 13th, 2020, and I absolutely adore this watch. It was inexpensive compared to the Apple Watch 4-series and 5-series, as well, at $169.00 plus applicable taxes and shipping. However, it does everything I wanted to do, plus some: heart-rate monitor, view, read, and respond to text messages; set alarm clock, let you inhale and exhale periodically throughout the day with an app built inside the watch, among others. It is like your smartphone within a smartphone with features as dial and talk, let someone start their vehicle from the watch itself. To make a long story short, I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this device. Although, the screen size is incredibly smaller than the 4-series, as well as 5-series.

Like the Apple watch4 more than my iPhone 10Xs
Rating: 5
Ive never been a techno-geek, however this is no longer true; I am completely smitten with the Apple watch4. I got it to monitor my heart (ECG & BPM)...I've just begun to see a cardiologist and their tests often show nothing wrong; my watch has recorded several abnormal incidents, of which I was able to send to my doctor. My cardiologist was amazed and thankful. The exercise apps are useful; I use the biking app mostly....the daily activity monitor is great, definitely motivates. And not having to drag my phone around is awesome. I recommend the larger size 44mm; more real estate is better when you have this many apps/bells & whistles....bigger is better when there's a lot to look at.

This watch saved my life!
Rating: 5
Let me start by saying I'm reviewing the 44mm Black Stainless Steel Sport Band version, it wouldn't let me specify. I've previously owned a Series 1 Apple Watch and loved it I like the overall functionality and usefulness of the watch but do wish it had a true web browser, social media apps and camera. With that being said I absolutely love the watch and can attest to the quality and durability of the stainless steel version! I was recently involved in an accident at work where my hand, wrist and arm were pulled into machinery and crushed between two high pressure industrial rollers. I escaped miraculously without a single broken bone! And my watch escaped completely unscathed despite taking most of the force and pressure, it still looks brand new, not a single scratch! I highly recommend the stainless steel watch!

My new toy

I love this Apple Watch because it's so convenient to have since I'm not allowed to carry my phone at work. I love all the features such as being able to receive messages and calls. This is my first Apple Watch and when they first launched I didn't care for them but I have no regrets buying it.

It's awesome! I love it. I already set the EKG to monitor my BP, let's see how it works in the long run.

It's a great tool to have
Rating: 3
The only downfall is the watch dies quickly. I had to turn off just about everything and notifications because the watch dies on me within 4 hours. I do love it, it's nice so you can get emergency calls when I'm at work.
