Very happy!

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

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.

Amazing smartwatch, very powerful
Rating: 5
This is my first smartwatch and I could not be happier. My favorite sports are soccer, surf, and snowboarding, and while the watch doesn't have apps for those specific sports, its features do a pretty good job at recording everything I need to keep track of my workouts #sweepstakes
