Very happy!
Rating: 5
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.

Cant leave phone at home or more than 90ft away
Rating: 5
Absolutely love the watch i work at a cell phone carrier and i got this watch because we had sold all out only down 2 down falls the one from walmart is no sim number so you cant leave your phone anywhere and just use the watch has to be within 90 ft from phone. Bluetooth only. Secind it comes in a different lanuage so you need the app to change it from tour phone other than that no complaints actually in the process of getting one for my husband becuse it pairs with apple phones as well. Oh and it comes totally dead so you have to charge it 100% beofre you can use it

GREAT product, great price
Rating: 5
I looked at MANY types of smart watches and loved the features of this watch. It was running and connected within 5 minutes and is easy to use. Buy it now, because the new models are MUCH more expensive. This watch does everything , including send/receive phone calls with my Samsung Note.

love this new piece of Tech
Rating: 5
I was very skeptical at first about getting a smart watch saying i would hardly use it. So recently i won a Gear s2 and been using it fr a few days. WOW what a gadget, HOW DID I SURVIVE WITHOUT this assistant on my hand giving me all my notifications on my wrist. Thanks a Million SAMSUNG. Now just waiting for my Free tablet to get here lol.

This product I highly recommend
Rating: 5
My Gear is very easy to use. I only take it off to charge it. I am able to keep up with my health as well as keeping up with my life,family,home,finances,ect.. while on the move. I can take calls,email,text,listen to music,keep up with my activities, ect.. while being on the go. I am a mother of 5. It doesn't get any easier than this when it comes to being a busy mom. This is recommended highly to anyone,but especially to moms- on - the - go!

It's a "love-hate" relationship.
Rating: 4
While I love the style and functionality of the Samsung Gear S2 Silver, the band is a very poor design. I received my smartwatch the first week of June 2016. It is now August 5, 2016 and both bands that came with the watch in the original packaging have failed in the exact same place. Both broke while doing simple household activities and the watch went flying. The watch itself has fared well and withstood the falls, but now I can't even wear it until I go and invest in the exact same poorly designed watch band that I'm certain will not hold up any better even though I'll have to pay through the nose for the proprietary design. Samsung, PLEASE fix this! I love the way the watch works seamlessly with my 7 Edge, but I will not recommend any of this style of the Gear S2 simply due to the lack of durability of the bands. I wish I had spent the extra $50 for the classic. My colleague has one and has not had any issues with the bands. I simply thought this version would be better for my active lifestyle. NOT SO!

Paid more for less
Rating: 3
Product is as it should be. Problem is that my sister paid less for hers on walmart.com and got the 3G version from a cellular third party. Will be returning product due to paying more for less features. If you dont know, the 3G version makes you able to talk on the phone through the watch itself. This is a pretty important feature. Another reason it got 3 stars is because you buy something off of walmart's site but cant return the product to your walmart store! Now i got to go through this third party who say that you may not get your full money back on the return.

Used
Rating: 2
No where in the description did the product say it was used. The box has clearly been opened before and the product has been used. I'm very disappointed in Walmart for using this poor third party vendor. This is a Christmas gift for my husband so don't know if it works, I hope it does bit I definitely wasn't looking for something used

Walmart.com is letting merchants sell used items with no knowledge of the consumer. I read the description and there was no mention.
