The Apple Watch is the new product from the house of the Apple. Before I launch into the review, there are a few things that will bring this review into focus. First, although I have several Apple products, I am not an Apple apologist.

Exceptional build quality with good material choices; Refined OS and interface; Excellent out of the box functionality from 1st party apps; Feels natural on the wrist; Intuitive activity tracking; Does not require separate activation with a service provider

Slow 3rd party apps especially between watch and iPhone; Requires daily charge (18 hour battery life; Some glitches both with WatchOS and iPhone Apple Watch app; Some features seem half-baked or incomplete; Requires a WiFi or Bluetooth connection to an iPhone for GPS and data connectivity

Best investment in a long time. The watch can give you positive activity habits. Stand up reminders, information on things etc During a workout , they got the calorie count almost exact to the charts I use. Also the heart rate monitor is very close to the manual finger and neck measurements.

Battery is weak waste of money stays on charger most of the time

I purchased this unit for my wife as a Christmas present to see if she would even like the Apple Watch. Hence the reason why I purchased a used one. Come to find out that the battery life depletes less than eight hours On a single charge. I am returning the unit and purchasing a bran new one.

As the first entirely new product created on Tim Cook's watch, the Apple Watch makes a strong statement. After spending a number of months with it, I'd say it's one of the best designed and most versatile wearables yet.
