Apple repair is a rip off – I sent my watch in to get repaired due to the buttons being stuck and my emergency alarm kept going off. This is the second watch it has happened to. Apple replaced the first watch but the second watch they are saying is damaged. And it’s $371 + tax to repair it. The 2 issues are the watch has been in a catalyst heavy duty case and the case… Read more
is perfectly fine but they are saying the watch frame is dented.
Issue 2 the cost of the a new watch is $299 so how can the repair price be more?
Dick Tracy – Have never been one for high technology toys but was recently given a n Apple Watch and I am truly impressed with the quality of the Apple Watch and what it can do. What I am really impressed with is the ability of my Apple Watch to talk to me Apple phone and I-Pad. Show details
Waste of money, do not buy!! – New out of box, full charge. After taking it off charge, lasts 3-4 hours with cellular. With cellular turned off around 6 hours. That’s with all the features tuned off. Created a support ticket 3-4 weeks of having the unit. Went to Apple 3 times, sent the unit away for repair which they didn’t do a thing. Senior advisor then advised they said… Read more
they will provide a refund. Go into the store and they told me they never said such a thing and have prolonged the case further I’ve had to create a case with ACCC as they refuse to honor their guarantees and warranty which is highly illegal. Gone off the days of integrity and honesty from this company. Shame on them as their service used to be fantastic. Sorry apple but you should be ashamed
Limited value without iPhone – Bought this for my child so they can communicate without needing a phone - want to keep that genie in the bottle for awhile longer. But the SE is very limited - only works with Truphone in Australia and if in family mode, it only works with a small number of apps. Our family Spotify account doesn't work for example as it requires a paired… Read more
iPhone. Also painful to set up and administer through Family Sharing which isn't like Apple. E.g. no way to enter appleid and password without using the painful drawing of each character on the tiny screen.
Probably a better idea to go for a cheap txt and call phone with limited apps instead.
Love this apple watch – This is the first apple watch I have had and am in love. The size is great as small as I am not a big person. I got the GPS + cellular model as wanted to be able to make & receive calls if needed if I ever forgot my mobile and home or ducked out without it. I found it easy to use and set up. I love that you can easily change the faces as well along with what you want to display such as the time, weather, phone, messages etc - so many options. Show details
Terrible – This watch doesn’t connect to most Bluetooth headphones. Apparently you need to buy the lates Apple AirPod and Beats (both sold by Apple). I would’ve had to through away my $400 Bose Bluetooth headphones as they can’t work with this watch despite them easily working with my iPhone and other devices. Show details
Impressive – I have apple devices but never had a watch, I brought the SE, main reason is iPhone to heavy when walking, easy to set up, works well on calls, txt etc. highly recommend Show details
Useful Enough Fashion Thing For Some – I bought one for my daughter who is 22. My review is firmly aimed at my scenario only. Personally, I would have something else, incl of a hand map and a real compass, if somewhere really remote. I also don't need steps counted as I am happy to just know how far I walked. I am also quite capable of taking my own pulse and I like listening to… Read more
nature when I can.
My daughter sees things differently and loves it.
She finds it better not to be encumbered by her phone when out walking/exercising. This watch facilitates that by allowing SMS/calling and full BT support for listening to downloaded Spotify. The latter is easy and intuitive to do. Such things as how many steps per day is something she likes to have as well.
We went with this V the more expensive versions partly on cost (as it was as much as I was paying), but also on function. I simply could not see any good point for a person of her age contemplating more sensor capability on a watch, at least not with current tech anyway.
Battery wise: Charged up to 100% Sunday evening then off overnight; used all day Monday for time; Used twice for half-hour walks; used for music over BT from watch to buds for an hour in total; a couple of calls can be thrown in. By the close of play Tuesday the watch still had 29% battery.
The ordering and delivery experience was exemplary (as it should be for an extra $15 on top of that purchase price).
By Apple's standards, it packs a good bit for the money and solves all sorts of first-world problems, IMO.
Exactly what I needed – Has made my life easier. Am able check watch instead of having to carry phone in hand all the time. Perfect for work situations. Would highly recommend it. Thanks once again Show details
Love my watch – Easy to use, looks great, you can customise the watch to make it more you, awesome to use for exercise and I love that it is cellar makes life a lot easier when you can answer your watch . Show details
Must buy smart watch – This smart watch packs a lot for it’s price point. Simple and easy to use. I love that you can change the watch face accordingly to your moods and preferences. Only con was the buttons sometimes jammed or did not register my touch. Initially did not bother me so much but after a week I felt it was slightly inconvenient. Have taken back for an exchange as it seemed a little faulty. Show details
