Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Mainly purchased for the fall detection capabilities, sleep tracking apps, long battery life, and it’s designed to connect to an iPhone. I am not a big Apple fan, but they did a pretty decent job with this watch. Pros: 1) Beautiful design. 2) Decent UI. 3) Battery life is a LOT better than my last smartwatch. I charge it every other day. 4) Useful features (useful to me, at least). 5) Watch apps tie into their corresponding iPhone apps. Cons: 1) Not water resistant 2) Case is easy to scratch and ding up 3) Lack of customization; compared to Android Wear offerings. 4) Lack of decent protective cases. I have tried quite a few (at least 10) and they either don’t fit correctly, fall off, tear or crack the first time your watch hits or drags against a wall, prevent screen interaction in some areas, prevent use of the side button (unless you push REALLY hard), make it difficult to operate the crown, or prevent the use of different watch bands. 5) The Apple Watch bands are EXPENSIVE! I didn’t like the cheapest Apple bands, they want too much money for a strip of Velcro and 2 metal loops that connect it to the watch. 5) 3rd party watch bands are hit and miss (mostly miss). I ordered a few I liked; only one stayed in place, stayed clipped on, and did not lock the watch when I would bump my arm into something. 6) Apple approved accessories are EXPENSIVE! 7) Non Apple approved accessories can damage the watch. 8) There arent very many Apple approved accessories. No Apple approved protective cases as of this review (the 3rd party cases are mostly garbage; the rest are passable at best). So, if you have money to burn, want a pretty watch that does all kinds of interesting stuff, don’t care about customizing your watch face that much, are very careful with your watch, willing to spend a lot of money for Apple approved accessories, and want something that just works with your iPhone.... This is the watch for you! In my case I needed a smart watch with fall detection, sleep monitor, and a heart rate monitor that would call someone if I fell and did not get up or move within a certain timeframe. I also wanted something I could use as an extension of my iPhone, so I didn’t have to carry it around my house with me.
