  • Fantastic watch, apple products are always a good buy. It synced with my iPhone 7 and I can play my playlist of music without the phone nearby, all I can say is WOW!!!
  • My wife loves the watch and the ability to easily change the bands to match her clothing. Great gift!!
  • Greatest watch ever! You don’t have to have your cell phone near you anymore. Love the Velcro watch band. Secured but easy off and on.

What customers say about "Features"
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch
  • Excellent the sensors to detect the different activities like running, moving, or sleeping.
  • I really like the features on the Samsung watch. My Fitbit was nice but it seemed outdated. The auto exercise could activate a little sooner to match the treadmill numbers.
  • Enjoy wearing it daily and using all the many features.
  • The features available pass competitors not only with clarity of picture but also when using watch for phone calls and texts.
  • Nice features able to answer phone calls and texts and biometrics. Much better than the fitbit surge.
Apple Watch Series 3 Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band
  • Love the watch. I just wish they sold round faces and not just squared.
  • Love my watch. It is easy to use. I love the Toy Story face!!
  • Love my Apple Watch. Not use to having my wrist vibrate all the time.
  • Love my new Apple Watch first one ever! Works great only downfall every now and then you can feel it vibrate against your wrist for no apparent reason.
  • Not happy with protective shield purchased with it
  • I would recommend getting a protective case for the watch bc it scratches easily.
