I bought this watch for my son's birthday and he was blown away. I shopped around for the best price and Macy's was the one. It was perfectly described and I am thrilled that it arrived in record time. Thank you Macy's once again for a great product and speedy delivery.

"The Apple watch isn't going to replace your headunit or high-end multisport watch, but it tracks all the key metrics accurately enough to observe trends in your workouts"

Easy to use; surprising battery life; there's an app for everything

Optical heart rate point to point accuracy

I had waited to buy this from Kohl's because of the Kohl's cash promo and could not be happier! It arrived on time and in good condition. The watch face does scratch easy, so I would recommend buying a cover right away.

The Series 2 is the best smartwatch you can buy, but it's not the best sports watch. Even with the waterproofing and built-in GPS, it's best if you think of this as a fitness tracker -- albeit, a very stylish, feature-rich fitness tracker.

Faster performance and longer battery life than before; watchOS 3 feels much more intuitive; Waterproof design means you can take it swimming; Built-in GPS is good for walkers; hikers and casual joggers; Screen is more than twice as bright; Works with the same bands as the first-gen watch

Almost 2 years ago I wrote about my month with the original Apple Watch; I had purchased it in the US, before it came to South Africa. Fast forward to 2017, and the second-generation Apple Watch Series 2 is available locally.

The Apple Watch Series 2 isn't cheap, but with GPS, water resistance, faster performance, longer battery life and better software, it's more compelling than the original.

World's two most recognisable brands combine for a triumph of branding… and a very decent, social-driven running watch

Exceptional strap design; Fast GPS pick-up; Nike + app and watch faces; Excellent social elements

Slow to sync to iPhone; Heart rate data not fully integrated; Lacks the in-depth analysis of dedicated watches

Excellent product easy set up through phone app. Extremely helpful YouTube videos further expand the capabilities and functionality of the watch with the phone
