Pros It is a really nice piece of kit, I love watches and the hitech is really good. The integration with an apple phone is great but see my negative post Cons When I bought this I was led to believe that the watch could be used in place of the phone via the Celluar function and virtual sim. Once i received the watch only 3 providers support the virtual sim Im on Tesco which is essensially O2, but only O2, Vodaphone and EE support this function. Please warn others of this fact, Apple pay works well on the watch but today I forgot my phone and went on a journey that the watch should have supported my original perceptions of the watchs capabililty. No phone wrong provider and no signal even though I have a very capable peice of kit on my wrist

Pros I bought this for the health aspects Im a chronic pain sufferer so I wasnt about to be undertaking any real physical activity but I wanted the watch for tracking my sleep I have insomnia also my heart with the constant heart rate monitor and the ECG as heart disease runs in my family and I sometimes get heart palpitations. Also the fall detector as my chronic pain affects my mobility and I often get dizzy spells. Blood oxygen is also an important factor for me as I have asthma. So the Apple Watch isnt just for those healthy people out there tracking their workouts etc but also for the sick who need to keep an eye on some of their health statistics. Cons I dont know if its possible on a smart watch but some kind of ability to check your blood pressure would be useful

Pros It looks good and it is handy to be able to receive phone calls if you ever dont take your phone out with you. Cons I have been using a Fitbit Versa 2 and expected the Apple Watch to do everything Fitbit does. On Fitbit I can see at a glance on one app all of my fitness stats. It also picks up when I am exercising or walking immediately. The watch does none of this I had to purchase additional apps and it is simply not as intuitive have to press lots of buttons to tell it Im exercising. I miss my Fitbit which was exactly half the price The biggest issue is it is always running out of battery and needs constant charging so I end up not wearing for a chunk of every day which affects the stats. If I could return it, I would

So far, so good Fairly easy to set up. The screen is a little bit bigger than my Series 3 Apple Watch, which is oddly satisfying even though its only a 2mm difference. Ive already noticed some of the newer features, some of which I think are cool, others which I find unnecessary. I also noticed it was a little dirty dust so I would like to take a small pin or something to thoroughly clean it. Otherwise, Im happy with the purchase.

Awesome watch I tradedin my series 4 for the series 6 and say I am not one bit disappointed The blue case and strap really dress up the watch. The always on face is much better than the previous series 4 going off and on. I especially find the blood oxygen feature to be very useful, especially for those with sleep apnea since the sleep mode can record oxygen levels while asleep. It is worth every penny and very fast. As for cellular, it does a top notch job. I was walking outside without my iPhone and when my wife called me I answered on the watch. She was very impressed, and I thought I was speaking on my iPhone. The call was very clear and speaker level was beyond expectations

It does just about everything I thought it would. Works great with my Apple AirPod Pros. Some of the Apple software and thirdparty software could be a bit better. But, all in all its not bad. Would like to see Apple give us a better range of selections of how to configure the watch face, especially with digital formats. Didnt much care for the Apple bands, and some of them are outrageously expensive. But, I found a perfect, for me, third party band, which worked well and installed quickly. It does so many things, thus it takes a bit longer to learn to use it than I thought. After three weeks, Im still learning some things about it. A little pricey… Try to catch it on a periodic sale. However, Im sure that Dick Tracy would have loved to own one.

Previously had an Apple Watch, 6 years old, and had finally given up the ghost. So decided to bite the bullet and get a replacement. Apple website really good to explore options and choices. Wanted the larger screen, and stainless steel case, so this meant opting for the GPS and cellular option. With the metal strap came in at over 700 Went for John Lewis click and collect. Good website, worked like a dream. Arrived on time, beautifully boxed, easy to set up. Cellular a bit of a pain, as only certain network providers support it, not Tesco. So had to change, and an extra 5 for the watch. Works like a dream, lots of useful extras, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and means do not have to take phone everywhere. All in all , excellent Apple product, with usual topnotch John Lewis service.
