Freedom of connection.Fun stats! Parental control!

Amazing watch perfect for adding a wearable for a child line. Once you setup the parent profile and block/ lockdown features to keep the watch to a limited app set. This gives the freedom for my child and is a great stepping stone for parents to let go of the control. Texting is fun! However like other specialty watches I wish you could lock down who can text this line. We’ve gotten a lot of spam texts. Having this service on my own watch is great and keeps you less tied to your cell so you can run bike with only watch. Sm Bands fit a 10 year old perfect or a 40 year old. I recommend this if you’re looking to keep your loved one connected as they grow and want an option before leaping to a cell phone/ iPhone. iOS setup is easy on the app!

Love it

Bought it for my teenager to be able to track and communicate with him without having to invest in a phone or worry about to much access to the internet. It’s perfect all my parental parameters already popped up from his Apple account and I can I call and text him. It also gives him the opportunity to communicate with friends in a safe manner.

N/a

I was very skeptical about getting the watch because I was not sure if I would like it. After receiving the watch and wearing it for a few days, I really enjoyed it. I love all the different things that it’s capable of doing, including watching my health, exercising and monitoring my blood pressure.

Returning to Apple Watch after years away.

I had an Apple Watch years ago and broke it so decided to try it again. This one is smaller 40 vs 44 so I’m getting use to the smaller size and were to find different apps but I am enjoying the new watch.

Watch

It’s good i’ve had every Apple Watch up-to-date with the technology nowadays these batteries can last way longer. I shouldn’t have to charge it every 8 to 10 hours or keep it in battery saving mode to optimize 12 hours of use for the price we’re paying for it should have a better battery.

Band was loose upon pick-up.

Band was loose, didn’t lock in, and there was nothing the store could do about it despite just newly unboxing it. Person who helped me was nice, though.

Battery sucks

I ordered this watch after my 4-5 year old watch wouldn’t hold a charge. I expected good battery quality boy was I wrong this watch has to be charged daily even with minimal use. If I could return it without paying restocking fees I would have. Very disappointed in Apple.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Shelia. We’re sorry to hear that your new Apple Watch SE isn’t meeting your expectations when it comes to battery life. After upgrading from an older watch, it’s understandable that you were hoping for a noticeable improvement, and we know how disappointing it can feel to charge a device more often than expected. Before assuming the battery is defective, here are a few quick steps that may help improve performance: 1️⃣Check for software updates: Go to the Watch app on your iPhone, then General and Software Update. New updates often include battery optimizations. 2️⃣Review background activity: Apps running in the background can drain the battery. In the Watch app, go to General and Background App Refresh to turn off anything you don’t need. 3️⃣Adjust display settings: Lowering brightness or shortening the Wake Duration can help extend battery life. 4️⃣Turn off features you don’t use: Things like "Always On Display", continuous heart rate tracking, or cellular connectivity can use more power. Disabling unused features can make a noticeable difference. 5️⃣Restart your watch: A simple restart can clear temporary glitches that may affect battery performance. 6️⃣Check battery health: On your watch, go to Settings, Battery, then Battery Health to see if the battery is performing normally. If you’ve tried these steps and the battery still drains quickly, we recommend visiting an Apple Store or an AT&T location so a specialist can take a closer look. You deserve a device that works the way you expect. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to support you. 💙

Apple Watch doesn't work right.

I purchased this specifically to notify help when I fall. TWICE it has screamed an alert to call for help when I was sitting down quietly. This is a fraud.

Disappointed, Battery on Watch

The Apple local paint is so starting to be high quality although I love the design. The watch itself does not last more than 10 hours of charge which I find it to be unacceptable as I’ve had watches that cost three times less that last all week long on a chart, truly disappointed that I paid so much for a watch that does not maintain a full charge more than 10 hours
