Also great for controlling music and podcast playback and volume remotely. I can sit in the pool and change music playing from my phone sitting 20 feet away.
All in all, a fun and functional device that looks good and makes using your phone a little more convenient.
Now for my only caveat (and it's a pretty important one): Allergies. Specifically, I have a nickel allergy and developed a slight rash after wearing my watch for about a day. Apparently, however, the nickel content in the device is negligible; and I've gotten rashes from wearing watches before due to things like sweat buildup. I suspect that's what's happening here. Nevertheless, if the problem persists and I think the watch itself is to blame, I'll update this review. Otherwise, I highly recommend this smartwatch.
temperature and battery life read outs. I also have a timer on the face, which I use all the time.
It tracks my daily bicycle riding. I receive phone calls on my wrist, very convenient. Very
reliable, no issues. The watch bands easily detach and can be interchanged. Multiple watch
face choices. The battery lasts a full day and is easy to charge with the magnetic adapter.
They claim it is water resistant, but I am cautious about that and keep it dry. Easy to use,
once you get set up. Overall, it is a great convenience and well worth it. It measures pulse,
but not EKG or oxygen levels like the series 6. However, I just purchased a stand alone
oxygen sensor from Amazon for under $20. It does not have the 911 calling feature if you
fall, so if you need that feature you need the series 6. Otherwise, this is a real workhorse,
For iPhone users, I can not imagine not having this convenience! Dan
The Activity app rewards you for workouts you do with trophies on the activity page. There are apps that can remind you to drink water, take a moment to breathe and also count your sleep. It’s definitely motivated me to be more active and take care of myself.
There’s also the super useful feature of being able to answer back to texts. You can either talk to your watch to do text-to-speech or you can draw letters out to form sentences. As well as text, you can call people using your watch and talk to them with no problems.
Overall, a very nice product. If you’re lucky enough to get one at the price I got (26% off) that’s even better, but it would still be worth how much it costs had I not had that discount.

As describe by Apple, this watch has the possibility for many features. It has some nice customizable features to your lifestyle. I personally like to use the fitness apps for my lifestyle. I think Apple does a great job with fit tracking information and collection. The watch band fits nicely and has no issues throughout the day. Due to my job, I have added a third party watchface protector. I just don't to take my chances with a broken screen and those problems. I will add, if you get your watch wet, the underneath part will stay wet for a while against your wrist. This is something that annoys me personally, so I just remove my watch when I know my arms/hands are going to be wet.
My only setback that I with the watch is the limited amount of memory the watch has. I'm not one that has a lot of apps on my watch, but still it is just not enough. I am unable to update my watch due to the watch being filled up with minimal running apps. Pro/Con not really. I really don't think that the watches updates would really change any of the performance so not a bother to me.
Overall - Not a bad watch. If you're looking for a watch to get some basic phone features at the touch of your finger, then this watch will do. It's simple and slick. I do think that it makes some of my life's duties easier, but not astronomically.

Can use it to answer texts and change music without having to take out my phone.
Reviewed in Brazil on June 18, 2023
Mas depois que chegou, fiquei impressionado com a quantidade de funções e tecnologia que o dispositivo têm, saí de um Amzfit GTS para o Apple Watch, gostei demais da troca que fiz!
Únicos 2 pontos que existem e precisam ser observados é, ele dura a bateria 2 dias devido a quantidade de funções, é igual um celular, várias funções, isso que sobrepõe esse pequeno problema, que pra mim não será nenhum problema, porque fiquei bastante feliz com as funções dele!
Outro ponto, é a questão de poder ou não molhar ele em um banho ou piscina, eu particularmente não molhei ele dessa forma, fiquei com medo, mas com tantas funções boas, sobrepõe esse ponto.
Então, pra mim foi uma excelente aquisição!
Quando sair modelos mais evoluídos, irei migrar pra eles sem medo!
Parabéns a Apple pelo belo dispositivo!
E muito obrigado ao vendedor pela paciência!
