This past Summer I treated myself to the apple watch. I did my research and decided to make the purchase. With all of the research and youtube videos I watched, I didn't know why I couldn't find a video that explained what the watch actually did. There were many tutorials but I wanted someone to explain to me what makes the apple watch so great. Once getting the watch I quickly realized that the watch is whatever you want the watch to be. With so many personal touches you can add or change to your watch, you can make it a social watch, more fitness based, or both. Here is a list of some of my favorite features.

1. You can make and answer phone calls/texts.

This is one of my favorite features. What kid has not dreamed of having their own Dick Tracy watch (spy watch). On the watch you can answer, ignore, decline, and dial calls. This is most useful for me while driving. Immediate text updates on your wrist is nice too. Very convenient for the busy person.

2. Siri is your personal assistant.

Siri actually gets it right on my apple watch. I rarely ever have to repeat myself to siri. I can lift my wrist and hands free set an alarm, make a call, send or reply text messages and countless other things.

3. You can pay with your watch.

As if apple pay on your phone wasn't easy enough, it is even easier to be able to lift your wrist and pay without digging for your phone or wallet.

4. One glance and I can see weather, schedule, time, date and battery life, etc...

One glance and I have all the practical information I have ever needed throughout the day.

5. The fitness tracker and available apps are the BOMB.COM

Not only does the fitness tracker track everything you would want to know, but the watch makes you healthier. A study has shown that if you stand for at least one hour a day then you are proven to be healthier. One reason being proper blood flow. The apple watch reminds you every hour to get up if it detects you have not been up in a while.

I am so happy I spent the money on the apple watch. No matter how you plan on using your watch I guarantee you will not be disappointed. If interested in buying an apple watch, this is how I saved money getting mine. I bought my apple watch refurbished through best buy. I have had no problems with my watch and paid a much lower price. I have the 42mm rose gold, stone colored band. Normally the 42mm is around $350.00. I paid $260, $290 with shipping costs. After ordering I learned I could have picked up the watch at best buy without paying shipping. I love my watch and have worn it EVERYDAY.
