Apple MKU83FE/A 41mm Midnight Sport Band

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this watch. I hate to say that about anything but I have to be truthful. My husband bought me what I asked for, a Fitbit for MD. It worked fine, user friendly and all but the flimsy ratchet band is its weak link; I broke it easily the first day. That and the pins to fiddle with and be lost when replacing the band, smh—stupid design. So he returned it and I order a Huawei watch3 which, if I’m honest, I liked better than the Fitbit in looks and and strength in the band—but again that awful ratchet thing. It’s biggest problem was the screen wouldn’t swipe easily which I dont know if it was a defect or what, and the app is no bueno. Returned it and guess what? The Apple Watch 3 was on sale, only a few dollars more than the original Fitbit I had ... MoreI LOVE LOVE LOVE this watch. I hate to say that about anything but I have to be truthful.

It’s biggest problem was the screen wouldn’t swipe easily which I dont know if it was a defect or what, and the app is no bueno. Returned it and guess what? The Apple Watch 3 was on sale, only a few dollars more than the original Fitbit I had received. Now I am a long time Apple user—iMacs, iPads, iPhones, MacAir, etc, kind of sickening really—so I shouldn’t have been surprised they are up on their game. (Though I still use iPhone 7+ and don’t see I’m missing anything in my dtrs Xr.) I haven’t swam with it which was my prime motivation for a fitness watch but will update when I do. You have to download a sleep app and that worked great I’m sad to say—sleepless night last night. I hiked with it this morning and it seemed accurate, easy to use. I return texted my dtr on it all last night just to do so—you can speak your text or write it with your finger, both work great. I actually haven’t used the music or radio functions which require a Bluetooth headset but mine downloaded 11 minutes of my favorite music. It has a camera function which I find it misleading to say it has a camera—it is essentially a remote for the camera which is on your phone. Of course I couldn’t imagine a real camera being this tiny but I couldn’t figure out how it worked either until I heard my phone snapping pictures of the counter from across the room. I quite like the Breathe app which sounds ridiculous but we are a nation of shallow breathers because we don’t exercise enough (well I swim three hours a week and hike two but most people don’t.) Yet I like being reminded to focus on breathing and I set it at the longest intervals so I will deep breathe—good to lower blood pressure. I love the many faces of this watch and after playing around with them, even using a recent picture looking down into my Betta fish tank and the mandala made of its colors decided on the traditional look ( all above) with my monogram. I will eventually get more bands and a cover but for now the white matches my iPhone so I’m happy. Someone said you’ll never need another watch and I’d say that’s correct—until series 6 or 7 maybe. Oh one thing more, I don’t know about the battery life yet and some people complained you can’t wear it to sleep because you’re charging it every night; my question is why? Do you not sit and watch tv before bed when it could be charging, or are you going to rate that too somehow? Or charge it in your car on the way to or from work. Time management people is all I can say—no pun intended but it’s a good one huh? Update June 12, 2019: I have swam with this watch multiple times and love it. It not only tracks your laps but tells you which ones you did—even an ‘unknown’ lap when I was dolphin kicking but making nonsense arm motions just to get it to track bc it won’t track when you’re arms aren’t in motion. It gives calories burned as well as split and auto sets. I keep my heart rate on that screen too because that’s most important to me as I do intermittent cardio while swimming. (I do see now that the step counter is quite off for me. I do not believe I often walk 15,000 steps a day just around the house or even shopping. ) Sadly I did find the battery has a very short life if you use it as it is factory set. I was having to charge it twice daily but then I found how to adjust settings for battery conservation on the Apple site. Now it lasts a good 27 hours or so without charging. I have to tap to get the time but the constant glowing face in the dark when flicking the wrist was annoying anyway so that works well for me. I really like the flashlight on the watch as I often go to bed after my husband so I can see and still use my hands unlike a phone or handheld flashlight. One more thing, the alarm on the wrist is particularly handy so you don’t have to wake the whole household when it’s only yourself getting up. (Well I only need a wrist shaking to wake up; if you need four alarms this won’t work for you, lol.)

I am a big fan of Apple technology, and if I had even more money, I would update everything once a year when a new one comes out, but, unfortunately, I can’t afford it yet and am content with what I have. This watch is very old, it came out in 2017, I got it in September 2021. My boyfriend gave it to me, at that time, he could only afford the “troika”, although there were already newer models. I was extremely happy, it didn’t matter to me what generation of watch. I just wanted them. For me, the main function of the watch is tracking activity. I actively play sports, it is very convenient to track activity. Convenient, but I think there are cheaper analogs for these purposes.

I was extremely happy, it didn’t matter to me what generation of watch. I just wanted them. For me, the main function of the watch is tracking activity. I actively play sports, it is very convenient to track activity. Convenient, but I think there are cheaper analogs for these purposes. The watch is synchronized with the phone (I have an iPhone, although in my opinion they can also interact with Android). You can answer calls and talk on the phone through the watch, for example, if the phone is in another room. You can control the dial and software through the phone, which is very convenient. Another function that is vitally important is finding my iPhone. I often lose it and the watch helps me find it. The watch measures my pulse, but many bracelets that are much cheaper can do this. Another plus is that you can change the straps. I don't have many, but sometimes I change them depending on my mood. I mostly wear the original - white, naturally it is better in quality.

I’ve always wanted to get a smart watch but couldn’t decide if I wanted a Garmen, Apple Watch, Fitbit etc. I figured since I have an iPhone and I know apple products really well I’d go with an Apple Watch. I’ve never owned an Apple Watch before and wasn’t sure if I’d even like it that’s why I bought this one. This Watch was one of the best things I ever bought for myself! This little thing is capable of so much and is a great starter Watch for those wanting to try one! This thing can do everything my phone can do. This Watch connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth without draining any battery on your iPhone. This Watch will do anything a regular typical Watch can do (tell time, timer, stop watch, calculator) things like that!

This Watch will do anything a regular typical Watch can do (tell time, timer, stop watch, calculator) things like that! What I really love most about this Watch is how I can get phone calls and text messages from it. For instance if I ever get a text message or phone call my watch will automatically vibrate my wrist and display the text or incoming call that way rather than my phone going off. Which is really handy and saves you the embarrassment if you’re in the office or in a movie. You can also text from it and call from it and the other person wouldn’t even know the difference! I can also monitor my heart rate and fitness goals on this and use it to calculate how many steps or miles I’ve walked or how many calories I burn. I’ve had this Watch for about 2 years now and have had no problems with it at all. As long as you take care of it, it will sure take care of you! I personally think once you get the hang of how to use a smart watch you never want to go back to a regular watch because of how handy it is! Love this and highly recommend it to anyone!

STYLE. I really like their design - laconic, I would even call it austere - nothing superfluous. I especially like them in white color. SECURE AND COMFORTABLE STRAP FASTENING. At first glance it seems that such a fastening is not reliable at all, but it is worth putting it on, as you realize - just so it will not leave your hand. THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE DIAL. And it is not only about beauty, but also about convenience. You can customize the widgets that will pop up on the screen. I need: date and time, weather, scheduled events on the calendar, activity, battery indicator. THE ABILITY TO CALL/ANSWER CALLS AND TALK DIRECTLY FROM THE WATCH. THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR PURCHASES WITH APPLE PAY. True, there is a danger in case of loss of the watch. If suddenly skillful ... MoreSTYLE.

THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR PURCHASES WITH APPLE PAY. True, there is a danger in case of loss of the watch. If suddenly skillful people pick up a password to them, they can pay for purchases with the watch, since you do not need to enter a password or fingerprint when paying. Charging: For the first 3 months the watch held a charge for 2-3 days, now it's on its third, but a stable 2 days for sure. Conclusion: I believe that this watch can be useful for those who spend most of their time out of the house, on their feet, at a non-sitting job, traveling, in the car.

The watch for me overall is good! It came in an actual Apple box with all original apple parts. So as many people have mentioned in their reviews, the charging cord IS included but the little box that you plug the cord into and then plug into the outlet, is NOT included. For me this wasn't an issue considering I have plenty of spares and the 2 lamps in my room both have usb ports for the charging cord. I had no problem with setup. Both band sizes (S/M and M/L) were included. Some have said they have an issue with battery life. I have not yet experienced that. I worse mine for 2 days straight (excluding when I showered) and the battery was still at 40% when i finally charged it. I tend to sleep through alarms on my phone in the morning so I make it a point to wear ... MoreThe watch for me overall is good! It came in an actual Apple box with all original apple parts.

I worse mine for 2 days straight (excluding when I showered) and the battery was still at 40% when i finally charged it. I tend to sleep through alarms on my phone in the morning so I make it a point to wear the watch to bed. I charge the watch while I shower or while I'm sitting at my desk doing homework for school so my watch rarely drops below 60% battery. I've had to update it twice in the short 3 weeks that I have had it, but that an apple issue not an amazon issue. I had no problems with updating as some others have. I haven't tested the water resistance yet as I just don't quite trust it. Everything has always said that electronics and water just don't mix so until I get a waterproof case on it I'll just stick to what I know. I've seen a lot of reviews that say they essentially only use it to get texts when their phone is in another room, but I will say that I actually using the replying and calling features on the watch. Naturally the call volume and quality isn't the best but considering it's a WATCH that's not an issue so it's not worth all the other complaints on it. Working in a childcare facility, I can't have my phone on me at work. But living in Oklahoma during storm season, I like to be able to get updates from my weather app letting me know what's going on in case of inclement weather. Overall I have no issues. Especially considering the steal on the price!
