The Apple Watch – is it any good, and should you buy one?
Well, it’s a distinctive piece of tech that at first can be hard to get your head around, or even to quite know what it does. In short, it’s a watch that sends notifications and other information from your iPhone to your wrist and lets you send stuff back the other way, whether that’s a text message, a phone call or a simple way to call an Uber.

The Apple Watch’s battery life has concerned many prospective customers, as Apple said only that the Watch will need to be charged nightly. Earlier this year, we reported that Apple’s development targets for Apple Watch battery life were 2.5-4 hours for heavy app usage, versus 19 hours per day of combined usage between light app access, notifications, and Glances.

Apple Watch is good, but better suited on the wrists of early adopters and boutique shop regulars. It’s convenient but there’s a learning curve you have to overcome and a high price that some people won’t be able to get around.David
Originally, I was disappointed with the high prices of these watches. I didn’t want to drop $700 on a watch when I wasn’t sure I would even use a watch. However, I ended up being very happy with them, and I’m convinced it’s what I would have chosen even if my funds allowed me other choices – at least, that’s what I tell myself.Amanda
As an early adopter of these products, I’ve pretty much seen them all andused many of them myself, ever since the original Apple Watch which didn’t evenhave an app for years (which I was actually fine with). My boyfriend thinksI’m nuts, but whatever, over the years, we’ve both seen a real impact thatthese things have made in my life.Lisa
