Apple Watch -Series 1 / Apple Watch Series 2 Reviews?

i got one last year. I do wear it almost every day. I hadn't worn a watch in many years.

These are some of the things I like about it:
--how it notifies you of texts or calls (no sound or vibration can be heard, very private).
-- being able to ping my phone when I don't remember where i left it
-- doing quick replies to texts (has a some built in that you just touch and it sends for super quick response).

I do want to use it more to track my steps, but haven't had the time to research that... if anyone knows of good apps or a way to track, please let me know.

I know i don't use it to it's potential, will look back at this thread for more ideas.

I have the original one. I wore it for about 6 months but just went back to my Fitbit. I liked it fine, but the battery life sucks and I missed step challenges.

I've looked at #2. I like it, but haven't purchased it. It will record what you do, but needs the phone to be within a range to sync and let you know about emails, etc.

I'm just not sure I "need" that. Hence why I haven't jumped on it.

I have the Series 2 and love it. I wear it everyday, but I have been a daily watch wearer since I can remember. I was wearing a FitBit prior the the AppleWatch. I work with children all day, so don't have access to my phone at all times, but I have a tween at home and elderly relatives that need to be able to reach me. My FitBit wasn't reliable with receiving texts and phone calls, which in addition to the fitness tracking, is important to me. My school building has 18 classrooms and my watch stays connected with my phone through most of the building.  If I want to be sure I get notifications right away, I inconspicuously carry my phone with me. I love the fitness trackers and the heart rate monitor seems more accurate than the FitBit. I also use the phone function quite a bit when my hands are too full to juggle my phone. I also use it for quick weather checks, email, notifications of news, and Apple Pay. 

Battery life is much better than I expected. I put my watch on at 5:30am and wear it through 10:30pm. Depending on use that day, it usually has 40-60% battery left. I love that it's waterproof and that there are so many options for switching out bands to take it from sporty to dressy. It takes me back to the 80's, when we had watch options in all colors, for every outfit. My husband bought me a charging station for my nightstand that charges my phone and watch together. I like it so much I think DH must be jealous because he is considering one. But, I will admit we are huge Apple fans at our house. 

I got mine at the Apple Store, mostly because it's easy to let them get it all set up. All of the options are in stock for you to look at. We're an Apple family, too, so everything syncs across all of my devices right from the start. I hope you like your new watch.

I bought mine recently at Target. Used my RedCard and got 5% off.

I bought mine online when it was released through the Apple Store, but I previewed the series one at my local Apple Store. I originally intended to get the stainless case with the Milanese loop band. However, it was a bit pricier than I was comfortable with since the Watch itself would be needing continual upgrades and I wasn't sure I would love it. Then I saw the gold sport with the concrete band. That combination spoke to me. It was a bit of a surprise because I'm not a gold lover, but the gold aluminum doesn't scream GOLD! I got the 38mm; the 42mm was way too big on my wrist. As I mentioned above, there are so many band options outside of Apple's offerings, so l've collected several more bands, including a gold Milanese that matches my watch perfectly. 

My husband surprised me with one on my birthday last month and I adore it! I'm pretty sure my other watches had a pretty permanent home in the watch box now as I can't imagine my day without my Apple Watch (series 2 I believe it is, it's the newest anyway).

My son has stomach issues that can turn life threatening fast so I wanted a way for him to contact me at work and we can't have cell phones out in the open so having a watch that descretly notifies me of a text and allows me to read and response easily is absolutely what I needed. Also just being able to see things like temp, or calendar at a glance is fun plus all the other features to do with fitness and so much more.

I love this watch so much!

eta: I forgot to mention he got me the smaller size, my wrists are pretty tiny but I was uncertain I'd like the small screen but I've had no issue navigating it and the straps are the sport straps in black, super comfy and I really like the look. Goes with everything that I wear for work. 

i ordered a Series 2 Apple watch on 10/26 and the scheduled delivery date is 11/25. I can't wait and am hoping for earlier. Anyone have experience with recently ordering one thru the Apple Store?

I can't wait to get it! My 2nd Fitbit died a couple of months ago, and i was going to go Garmin, but talked to several coworkers who had Apple Watches and was convinced. One told me she liked not being attached to her phone ALL THE TIME, an affliction i suffer from as well (self-imposed, i know...).

I have the smaller one in Rose Gold with the gray band. I like the black band shown above with it! Maybe that should be on my
Christmas list. I've seen women with the larger watch, and it looks good too.

I have had my watch for almost a year and love it. I held out for a long time not sure if it was worth all the hype. It is! No battery problem and I love that I can change the bands to match my outfits
