I upgraded from a series 3 and I love the upgrades... I watch face customization is awesome, the overall function is great. I like that the time is always shown instead of my flicking my wrist 50 times a day! although the big fuss about this series is that it can read your blood oxygen, I mean it's cool but I tried doing it on a friend and every time it came back in conclusive as well as the EKG readings. but I still absolutely love the watch and would recommend it!
This is my first Apple Watch after owning a couple of Garmin models over the years. I was concerned about battery life, but I’m getting close to two days (depending on usage). Worth mentioning - it fully charges in about 1.5 hours. So that’s super easy to manage. The ridiculously practical and intuitive features of this watch are too numerous to list. If you love your iPhone, you’ll love this watch. It’s so comfortable (I replaced the band with a black solo loop for ease of use and I love it, although the regular band was comfortable too). Also, I love the gold! It feels like I’m wearing a real watch. I’ve never liked rose gold very much so thankfully this time around it’s a soft yellow gold that matches my jewelry (14k gold). I am terrified of scratching or cracking it so I’m trying to decide on whether or not to get a screen protector. I hate to cover it up, though!
For whatever reason, my iPhone and iWatch don’t sync in terms of message count. At the end of the day I’ll have hundreds of messages that I’ve already replied to on my phone or watch - you have to go in individually to each message to clear it. Huge sync issue. Other than that the watch performs as it should.
Awesome product which goes without saying!! The gold stainless looks chic and of very high quality. Nice weight to the watch without being too heavy. I especially love the band; it is a deep green/khaki color that compliments the gold stainless steel so well.
