5.0 out of 5 starsA million times better than expected

Way better than I imagined. I have small wrists, and it looks great. Not too big and not too bulky. Before buying the Apple Watch, I purchased the Pebble Time Round (because it was $100 cheaper and it looked like an ordinary watch). I returned it because it wasn't very responsive to my wrist movements (the Paper display lights up when you are supposed to gently shake your wrist). While the Apple Watch display isn't always on, that doesn't really matter...as soon as you move your wrist to see the time, the display appears. It's very subtle...as it should be.
The other day, I finally tried out the Apple Pay feature at the grocery store. It's an understatement to say it was easy. That right there is the future of payment methods (seriously). I just opened the Apple Pay app, right on my wrist and held it up to the card reader. I paid just like that. The voice call and text feature is also amazing. People can't even tell that you have them on a watch speaker. It's perfect for all the times that you need 2 hands while on the phone.
I have no regrets. And I know the 2nd gen. watch might be getting announced sometime this year, but I still highly recommend going for this version. If only you didn't need to have your phone with you....but none of the smart watches provide that option yet.
Get the Apple Watch and bypass all of the other product options.
