I’ve had this watch for almost four years so it is quite durable. It is full of features despite being a lower cost Apple Watch. I wear it all the time and charge it while I’m in the shower and getting ready, so it doesn’t lose charge in the middle of the day or during a fitness activity. I like to wear it while I am sleeping so I can track my sleep quality. I subscribe to Apple Fitness Plus so I can have more workouts I can do at home to increase my physical activity which is tracked on the watch. Calls and texts show up on the watch so I can be notified of these with a light pulse without having to be alerted by sound or ringing. I can respond to texts or answer calls right on the watch. I plan to keep this watch as long as it continues to have a strong battery ... MoreI’ve had this watch for almost four years so it is quite durable.

I plan to keep this watch as long as it continues to have a strong battery and have security and iOS updates. I don’t feel I need a newer watch or one with more features. Thus one works great for me.

I was skeptical at first when I bought this watch seeing as it was the SE version which automatically made me assume it would be cheaply made and inoperable. Boy was I wrong. I have had one Apple Watch prior to this one and this one is better in every aspect. The battery life is about a day and a half for me which is comparable to most smart watches. The display looks very robust and appealing. I haven’t had any issues with the heart rate monitor or the sleep tracker which are both freaking awesome and accurate. I saw many other reviews saying the smaller version can be a bit hard to read which I haven’t had any problems with at all. It’s very easy to use and there are tons of applications for it.

I love my Apple Watch!! I work in Healthcare and if I’m tending to a patient but need an urgent text, it’s so convenient to just look on my watch. I can also make hands free calls, which again is needed in the healthcare setting. I love the fitness apps, heart rate monitor and step counter. My watch can withstand me washing my hands a million times a day. The SE is very durable, just ask my clumsy self. I’ve banged my poor watch around, and it looks like new still. I wear it on my 12 hour shifts and it’s like second skin to me. But that could be due to the fact that I’ve changed the watch band. There are so many “aftermarket” options out there for bands that you can accessorize with. There are a lot of apps you can add, but i mainly just used it for work. To ... MoreI love my Apple Watch!!

To summarize, if you have an iPhone in my opinion it’s so beneficial to have a iWatch.

I am excited to own an Apple Watch now. This was my very first one and only one I’ve ever used until repurchasing a new watch for my husband and I. the battery hardly lasted longer than a day and the alerts for standing were more accurate and easily able to disable when you don’t want them alerting you. I wished there were more apps available and more cool features. I like that it had different watch faces and it’s easy to change them and get new ones and make your own. You can voice text and voice chat as if you were on speaker phone using your wrist so if you get up and go into the kitchen and leave your phone on the couch you can just answer and talk and get your food and it’s all hands free and works well you can hear and speak normally.

8 Month Review

I got this watch at a great price. It even has cellular, not that I'm currently using it. The watch has still held up great - no dents or major scratches. Everything works as it did on day 1, but with new features. Apple still supports this watch (as of time of writing this review). I could go on and on about what makes it so great, but that would take much longer than this review can be. I came from a Fitbit Versa 2 with a band that fell apart to this watch and I an say the Apple has been better in every way. The 40mm watch size is the perfect size for my arm - the screen doesn't stick out from my arm. I purchased the watch in black and it matches everything. I personally prefer the sports band over the solo loop as the sports band is adjustable. This watch may be ... MoreI got this watch at a great price.

This watch may be missing some new sensors, but it still beats the competition from other companies at an amazing price point.

Apple Watch

I got an Apple Watch that is refurbished and let me say it is the best thing that I ever had in my life on my wrist. It is like a mini phone on your arm but smaller. It can do every thing that your phone can do. You can call on it text on it look at the weather on it and there are many more things that you can do on it. I comes with every thing that it needs it comes with the charger the watch face and the band. The only thing that is does not come with is the charger in block. So make sure that you buy a charge of block and a case for the watch or a bumper. I got my watch from the Tilton Walmart and it was a refurbished one. I recommended buying them in store then online the refurbished ones cost less then the brand now ones. They work as now as there new ones do. ... MoreI got an Apple Watch that is refurbished and let me say it is the best thing that I ever had in my life on my wrist.

Don’t do it

Issue is not with Walmart but instead with this watch! I she’s had little issues along the way…. didn’t think much of when those happened. Artery would drain quickly which seemed to get worse with each update… after the factory warranty was up, In a little over 2 years of ownership, the watch suddenly stopped functioning! Charged completely, woke up to a black screen with lines on bottom 1/8 of the screen. Apple instructed to force restart and now there is no songs of a functioning watch . It will it turn on. Let it die completely. Apple wants me to take it to the nearest Apple Store for repair. Nearest store is 70 miles away. Cannot get a label to send in. Apple support told me would be free to have technician look at it THEN suggested I could call the stores and ask

Glad I bought it

I have wanted an Apple watch for a long time but as a widow on a tight budget, I couldn't justify spending $250 or more on a convenience. I was worried this would be a refurbished watch because of the price, so I read all the fine print on the ad. I picked it up at the store and it was obviously brand new. I checked reviews from several places before I bought it. I had been leaning towards a 2nd generation but the reviewers said there wasn't enough difference in features to justify spending the extra $$ to 'upgrade' to a 2nd gen from a 1st, so this made the most sense for me. Especially since I am a first time buyer. I have a tendency to misplace my phone and really wanted the find my phone feature. LOL I first tried a newer Fitbit (I had a Charge 2) but it wouldn't ... MoreI have wanted an Apple watch for a long time but as a widow on a tight budget, I couldn't justify spending $250 or more on a convenience.

Especially since I am a first time buyer. I have a tendency to misplace my phone and really wanted the find my phone feature. LOL I first tried a newer Fitbit (I had a Charge 2) but it wouldn't find my phone in my house unless I was less than 6' away from it. Not helpful! I have only had this watch for about three weeks. So far I LOVE the find my phone range, I love being able to read full texts on the watch. I do wish I could text on the watch and not have to talk to my wrist to reply, though. It is way more technology that I need, and I know I am not using it to its full potential yet but the features I wanted are great and I am learning new things every day. Battery life is the biggest disappointment but with advice, I have shut off some features and it lasts about 18 hours, which is what the reviews said. My Fitbit lasted 5 days and it was 5 years old. So Apple really needs to make improvements in the battery department but the pros far outweigh the inconvenience of needing to put the watch on a charger for about an hour a day.

Just what I wanted and more

I purchased this as a companion to my 44 mm Series 6 w/cellular which I absolutely love but I’m always afraid it may get damaged during my weekend warrior phase. Although I have it well protected, that fear was always in the back of my mind and when I saw this one at such a phenomenal rollback price, especially for the 40 mm, it made perfect sense to me to pick up another or so that’s what I told myself and I still agree. I could not be happier. I love it so much that I’ve found myself wearing it during the week as well.Even though it comes with cellular, which I don’t plan to add, I thought it would come in handy for resale if it didn’t work out for me but now that’s a moot point.Whether I’m out working in the yard or in the house as long as I have my phone ... MoreI purchased this as a companion to my 44 mm Series 6 w/cellular which I absolutely love but I’m always afraid it may get damaged during my weekend warrior phase.

I may even had cellular one day but for now one watch with cellular is just fine.

[Rewarded Review] Shop refurb with caution

I was cautiously optimistic ordering a refurb watch, but given the return policy I decided to take a chance. Unfortunately, it has been one problem after another since receiving. Despite being “inspected,” the watch simply doesn’t work properly. It repeatedly goes into SOS mode - even when not even touching it. I can have it on my wrist, not even moving, and it will go into SOS 5 times in 60 seconds. Additionally, the side button (not the crown) doesn’t function properly. I purchased a warranty plan through SquareTrade when purchasing, but when I tried to file a claim, they said I couldn’t because it’s under manufacturer warranty. An hour and a phone call to Apple later, it’s not - the warranty expired 11/2022 - over a year ago! Still trying to get a claim filed, ... MoreI was cautiously optimistic ordering a refurb watch, but given the return policy I decided to take a chance.
