This Apple Watch 5 keeps accurate time, is durable and wears well. I’ve worn it for a month and am impressed with changing bands quickly and adjusting to my wrist even quicker! Definitely a keeper…and Bulkra has the Best Buying pricewise

It’s less about telling time and more about keeping me aware. Taps me when driving, taps me when I need to stand, taps me when I need to drink some water, etc. It my little extra voice that reminds me to do things. Oh, and I can use it when walking, to make calls, to listen to music and books. I’ve never been much for wearing a watch but if you’re going to get one this one is very nice.

This is my second Apple Watch (first was series one). Lots of new features. Currently exploring all the apps that can be downloaded. Nice display; big enough to see without reading glasses.

I’m surprised by how much you can do with this watch. The ability to take calls , read emails and texts as well as keep score on the golf course is really neat and also convenient. I’m very pleased with my purchase. Best Buy made it easy to buy and pickup also

I needed a new SmartWatch after my FitBit Blaze stopped working for the 6th time (FitBit replaced 5 of the six watches).
As a horse trainer I wanted a watch that can be worn when bathing horses, dunking my arms into water buckets, and riding outside in all weather. It has passed my tests so far.
Still need to see how it handles the heat (my Blaze would die quickly in the heat).
The coolest, Dick Tracy feature, is making and taking phone calls on this device. I am not THAT OLD, but to have a watch that is a cell phone is pretty cool.

The watch is amazing. There are so many different features that are available to use on it and I am still learning. I like how easy it is to interchange the bands by simply sliding one out and sliding another one in. With the watch being used with cellular the battery does drain a little faster than normal but that’s expected when carrying the additional load. I’m pleased with the purchase as this is the first time I’ve bought an Apple watch.

This watch replaced my Apple Watch S3, which I purchased a couple of years ago, and broke the face/glass back in December. That one was a 38mm, now I have this 44mm. I absolutely love the size difference…I’m starting to need reading glasses now, and the size difference is amazing. It may feel too large on a more petite/smaller person, but perfect for me! The newer functions, such as automatically opening up my MAC laptop, are just extra extra! Happy to recommend the Apple Watch S5

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he was so happy. He wears it everyday and utilizes the apps. Eg sleep watch and the exercise ones are his most used ones and I like the fact that it’s also like a life alert. So if he’s at work and he falls and no ones around there is security for us that 911 would be called if he’s unresponsive.

For years I haven’t worn a watch, but decided to try this one because of it’s health related applications. I haven’t been disappointed. I think what has made this watch unbeatable is way it interphases with my iPhone, something that initially wasn’t that important to me. Now I don’t carry my phone around the house as much, and instead rely on my watch to take calls.

Love this watch. I used to have a Garmin Forerunner 235 but that broke. Then for a long time my wrist felt naked. When looking to replace my Garmin I noticed some of them had music capability. But those needed Spotify subscription. I had already subscribed to Apple Music so naturally I checked apple watches. Never liked them before but had music option and love it. Paired with some AirPod Pros and I’m so happy. Super easy to sync and set up. Love having everything in one place with apple.

The series 5 is a great smart watch. Lots of customizations, plenty of apps. If you are in the market for a smart watch, this is the top, the standard the rest are graded against. The band is comfortable, secure, but easy on and off at the same time. Can’t go wrong with this watch, if a smart watch is what you’re looking for.

All of the anticipated benefits are really there. Keeps track of fitness routines and prompts with reminders to take time to move. The convenience of not having to have your phone with you at all times is phenomenal. Takes a bit to get acclimated to the various uses of the device, but once you have it set it is great
