Initially, I never wanted a Smart Watch. Then, my husband got one & I thought his was pretty cool. SO I started looking at one similar to what he had (a Fossil), but was unable to find something I liked, or could even tolerate. Since I have (and love) my iPhone, I decided to look into the Apple watched, and found this one on Amazon. Although the price was rather off-putting, my husband & I decided that, with all of the health benefits the watch has, I should go ahead & order it. Well, since getting the watch. I've worn it all day, every day, and I simply think the watch is AMAZING! I can check my heart rate throughout the day (something I need to do), and keep an eye on my blood sugar levels (since I am a Type One Diabetic, and have the DexCom App on my iPhone, it also shows on my watch--how cool!). The watch encourages me to stand up a couple of times an hour, which is great, since I work from home & sit at a computer for eight hours/day. I love that I can make/receive phone calls from the watch, too. In the week that I've had my watch, I've found that I use my watch more than I use my iPhone. And to think that I was so.very.opposed to getting a Smart Watch... Now, I don't know how I ever got by without it.

It took me a while to decide to upgrade my apple watch. Hard to justify a smart watch over $300, in my opinion, however, my Series 3 was so slow, took forever to install an update, no space for apps/data storage, etc... I got a Fitbit Charge 5 as a temporary place holder, tried to convince myself I liked it more than an Apple Watch, ultimately I came back to Apple. I opted for the 41mm Series 7 because I didn't need an extra 4mm for another $100. It moves so seamlessly, fast to charge (lightyears ahead of the series 3), lots of new watch face templates to choose from, beautiful edge to edge display. Of course you can choose to have "Always on Display" but that will quickly deplete your battery life. Ultimately, just get the upgrade that is within your budget and you won't regret it!

It’s a great watch and thanks to amazon I received it a month earlier (10/22) than ordering from Apple or Verizon and waiting to be delivered on late November or early December.

I ordered this watch at least 25 days ago, finally got it today and made a surprise to my wife. She definitely loves this watch! It works very smoothly and also very cute design. I am glad I picked right color, the starlight color perfectly matched her.

Looking thru all the reviews and most of the negative ones are about battery life not satisfactory. I have tested my Apple Watch series 7 with not having the “always on” display and found that if I turn that setting off I only burn 25-30% battery in a full work day 10 hrs. I don’t know about you but if I’m not looking at my watch, why would I need the display on? When you turn “always on” display feature off watch display comes on only when you look at it immediately and that’s perfect for me. Just go to display and brightness on your phone in the Apple Watch app and turn off “always on” . Think about if your phone had a setting where it was always on……it would be dead in no time and everyone would be complaining the battery doesn’t last.
