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!
The stainless steel and screen are quick to scratch, so get a screen protector and rhino crash guard to protect the sterling silver. Admittedly will add some bulk, but u have just purchased a $600 plus watch. In terms of the watch itself, I love it. My favorite feature is being able 2 answer calls from my watch.
As someone upgrading for the original apple watch, I am very comfortable with the new watch and new features. Sorry that my original watch had battery swelling issues but this was a worthy upgrade.
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!
