Great Smartwatch for an active person

Verified Purchase:Yes
To help shed some light on my demographic, I'm a 26 years old male who: owns an iMac and a PC laptop, has an iPhone 6s, has a regular 9-5 job, and is an occasional swimmer and runner.
I've been falling out of my recent swim and running routine and I needed something to get me back on track. I've been utilizing Apple's Healthkit more and more as I'm enjoying seeing how far I've walked, etc. I purchased the watch to add a few more stats to my work out, such as run time, heart beat, etc. As far as I'm concerned, this meets and exceeds all my expectations.
I've already taken the watch for a swim and it's tracked my laps, times, heart rate, and yards. It can also tell you what your dominate stroke is, but because I'm on a master's team and swim all strokes, it tells me my dominate stroke is "mixed." It seems to predict my laps fairly accurately. I have no problem swimming with my watch, but I won't take it in the shower out of fear the soap losens the water seals.
I haven't taken the device on a run yet, but having taken it on a walk it tells me what my pace, distance, and heart rate are. I hear that serious runners prefer garmin products as they're more accurate. Since I'm not a hard core runner, I haven't noticed any lack of features. I'm sure runners might care about some other tracking metrics that I'm just not ready to track yet.
It's integration with the phone is nice, although not needed for your work outs (if your watch isn't tethered to your phone you'll still be able to track distance, heart rate, etc., but you won't be able to receive text messages, notification alerts, etc.). While driving the watch vibrates to tell me when I need to make a turn. It also gives me random reminders to take a moment to breath and relax.
I've been enjoying the features of this watch quite a bit. I'm not bias to Apple, but from the get go I knew I wanted the Apple Watch. I'm sure there are better devices out there for serious athletes, but that wasn't of concern. I have an interest in tracking more aspects of my life through healthkit and this is a terrific device to help keep me on track.
