![Apple Watch Series 9 [GPS 41mm] Smartwatch with Silver Aluminum Case with Storm Blue Sport Band S/M. Fitness Tracker, Blood Oxygen & ECG Apps, Always-On Retina Display](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Fn9dY2E3L.__AC_SY445_SX342_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
I had the 2nd generation Apple Watch (gift) but had battery and other issues with it and stopped using it
then moved to a fit bit (the cheapest one) which was super simple for basic sleep and step tracking and the best part was that it didn't need to be charged for 7-10 days
but the display was so small and low quality you could barely read the time and didn't have the nicely integrated and easy to use experience that Apple Watch has
the watch and band have been great, really like the velcro strap, glad I got the smaller watch because I think I would be banging the larger one into things too often
only thing not great is that you have to kind of build a routine around charging it -- but routines are good!
I got the watch with the velcro strap and the original leather as an add on -- all were renewed and all work great and were delivered quickly

Awesome deal. Apple delivers.
I intended to purchase through Apple until I saw this awesome deal. I have had two Apple SE watches before this purchase. My Apple Watch let me know of a possible heart arrhythmia issue. So, this is the main reason for my purchase. The watch helps keep me at the top of my game.The biggest issue I have with this purchase is that Amazon doesn’t require a signature upon delivery. This is an issue when you live in a complex with nearly two hundred addresses, addressed as 34, 34A, 34B, etc.. we have lost hundreds of dollars on orders accidentally given to someone else. Several times we have to go “hunt” things down, knock on neighbors doors, to see if they received our orders. This is infuriating, to say the least. People in this world are not all honest. Sad but true. Amazon, you need to start requiring signatures on these kinds of purchases. If it is mis-delivered, it is marked as “DELIVERED”. It doesn’t matter if someone else receives your purchase, it was marked delivered. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had this placed into my husband’s hands, but no one checked to see if my husband was actually the correct recipient. This policy needs to change. FAST! Anything over $150.00 dollars deserves a signature and ID. I knew it was coming my way, and had to watch, with hawk eyes, and abated breath, to make sure it wasn’t delivered to the WRONG address. Thankfully, this time it was. But was shocked that no ID was asked for, on a purchase of this caliber. Read on to see review. I hope Amazon is listening.This watch seems much more efficient than my previous SE’s. The battery on my last SE 2018, didn’t make it two years. Granted, I wore it 24 -7, except when charging. I’m finding the battery holds a charge a lot longer. I’m getting well over 24 hours on a charge. Last night I got 40 hours! I have disabled notifications, always on, and on when wrist is up. That is what my phone is for. Disabling these things works wonders with battery life, however you can not activate “double tap” with these things disabled. I’m not finding double tap that useful. I’m very acclimated to touching what I wish to view. There are very few, if anything in the double tap list that is useful to me. This feature clearly needs improvement, but I feel in the future it could be quite useful. The only thing it currently does is to open my “stack”. Which are things already viewable with a tap. The photo ability in double tap, would be nice, if I didn’t hold the camera in the hand the does the tapping, kind of useless for that, it would be the only useful thing to me, but it defeats it’s own purpose for that. That was a disappointment. Basically using double tap is something you need to retrain your brain to use, if you have already been using Apple Watches the conventional way. If you are new to this technology, and Apple Watch, you will love it.This iWatch gives me a measure of safety. However, in the past I did fall several times, and fall detection did not work. It did, however set off emergency services numerous times while doing normal activities where my arms were moving fast up, and down, during exercise. Wow, off goes emergency alert. I find fall detection absolutely useless. I’m disabled and would really like this to work, but it can’t be depended on. I say this after a dozen false alarms, where I did not fall, and it went off, and three falls it did not detect at all. Fortunately, over the years I have learned to fall with the least amount of damage.This watch is extremely accurate with activity. I use a walker 24 -7. It picks up all my activity, and very accurately at that. It measures sleep spot on. I did go into this knowing that the blood oxygen sensor is no longer a feature on this watch, due to a law suit involving Apple. So don’t count on reading your blood oxygen levels on this watch.Apple Watch is a beautiful piece of technology. It excels in every category, in appearance, features, and build.You can’t go wrong here. Excellent purchase. Will update at a future point. So far, perfect.

After I got my first iPhone in October, my Fitbit app barely worked. Took forever to refresh and I couldn’t even see weather or sleep.
Apple Watch is amazing. It’s beautiful. It lasts thru a night of sleep and a run per day. Charges fast. I can make calls and messages from my wrist and place emergency calls. I’m never without my phone so I don’t need cellular, it functions via Bluetooth. I can control what’s playing from my wrist, see stocks, check email if needed, track mood, and I set up my watch face for ultimate self help using the “I Am” affirmations app. Also, heart rate to remember I’m alive, bear app which is notes with voice dictation (works great), voice note and mindfulness (which has mindful modules but also log your mood/state with detailed emotion options). It’s really great. The watch just WORKS. Makes Fitbit look like a hunk of garbage. I feel safer too since watch has fall detection (I’m a runner), tracks location on find my phone for my parents, has photos (I can view up to 500 so I keep an SOS mental health folder of images and snippet that calm me down), maps (really important for walking without phone out). The alarm is great, best of all it syncs perfectly with my phone so if I have maps on my phone on silent I still get a buzz before directions so I can mute instructions but not have to look down at phone wondering when my next turn is. Has reminders app, audible, cycle tracking. The Apple health app is a league above anything I’ve ever seen.
The exercise app gives a huge amount of data for running (cadence, heart rate, elevation gain and loss, pace) and you can use other apps while during a workout ie check messages or place call during a long run.
It has great sleep data and is much more accurate than Fitbit who tries to make you pay for same data. Fitbit even erased the community function while Apple fitness allows you to see others workout and compete.
Love!!
Update- I got an otterbox pink/red watch case and Lerobo wine red watch band. Loving it- the original band is okay but I prefer to customize and this is more comfortable.
