Apple Watch

I'm starting to "maybe" be interested in getting an Apple Watch.

Anyone here have one? Any comments or advice for me?

I love mine. I have the bigger size which I recommend unless you are very tiny. You will have to get use to wearing it if you have worn a smaller watch. Make sure you get a brand new, latest version.

Oh and by the way, you can easily change out the band. I wanted the black and silver which came with a gray band which I did not like. I wanted the silver accent because almost all my jewelry is silver. I changed out the gray band to a charcoal gray woven band which I find more comfortable. My hubby has the all black watch with the black band and he likes the original band.

I LOVE mine. It does a much, much better job of tracking my training sessions than my Garmin devices ever did, even in the pool. I got the Wifi version - didn't bother to spring for the extra monthly cost on my cell phone. It works just great as long as my phone is within about 100 feet of my phone.

@gidgetgh , I have Apple Watch 4. I love it. I use it for everything. I use the timer when I am cooking. I use it for elliptical, swimming, outdoor walks, yoga. You can set it up to do ECG, monitor you're heart rate. I reply to texts by dictation, listen to the radio, walk outside listening to music without carrying my iPhone XR. It sends me headlines, reminders, etc.

I bought the wifi version. I can answer the phone iin wifi range. Paying the extra monthly fee to use it as a phone was not worth it to me. I don't care to use it as a phone. I don't love talking on the phone.

Buy the most current version. I bought the smaller face and it is perfect. I have small wrists. I bought changeable straps from Amazon.

Good luck with your decision. LM

I went to the Apple store on Sunday to "visit" the watches and came home with one.

The Apple Watch 5, 40mm. The 44 was just too big for me. I bought the gold because it looks like rose gold. It came with a pink strap. I bought a black strap while I was there and came home and ordered a few more.

So far, so good. I watched a tutorial on you tube last night, over an hour long so that helped me quite a bit.

I got WIFI only. I didn't want an extra monthly charge for the cell service.

This is ok to wear in the pool?

@Snoopp , it is ok to wear swimming. I wear mine in the pool and in the lake. You can set your watch to lap length for the pool or to open swim. It is a great motivator and no more counting laps😊. LM

@Lilysmom @Thank you. When I get back to swimming I’ll try it. Since I’m just going to swim a lot of freestyle for now, it will come in handy.
