Apple Watch SE GPS 44mm Midnight Aluminium Case with Midnight Sport Band - M/L

I had an Apple Watch previously. This is a major upgrade to the prior version, and provides several features not available in prior versions. Examples include, multiple exercise modes, more customizations in watch faces and mirroring of the iPhone which wasn’t available in prior versions. It has a very good read back feature for texts, voice memos, it also allows gaming of certain games on the watch screen. The newest Apple Watch iOS has made improvements which were much needed for being a player in the smart phone market. I use it all the time. There’s an improvement in the battery life, which is great for somebody like me who uses it for multiple applications!

Love everything except battery life. I had it for ten months working well and lasting almost all day, charged it every night and then around ten months it wouldn’t hold a charge more than a few hours. Sent it to be “fixed”, sent back and still the same issue. Called and after a long phone call they sent an express replacement but this one also won’t hold a charge more than six hours. I can put it on low battery mode and it still dies before dinner. I’m over it. They say the battery health is just fine, but it absolutely won’t stay on through a day. What good is it if I can only use it through mid afternoon? I only use it for texts and calls pretty much. I’ve turned off automatic downloads and removed most apps. It’s just frustrating.

I purchased this watch for my kid who needs to contact me after school. I chose an Apple Watch over the option of a cell phone because I’m not comfortable with the many safety risks that may occur with a smart phone in the hands of a child even with all of the safety features turned on. The safety features for kids specifically with an Apple Watch vs an iPhone are really great if you create an Apple ID for your child, chose the option to set it up for someone else, and adjust all of the features to the highest protections possible. My kid is only able to send/receive calls and texts from approved contacts, has a school time feature enabled with time parameters of my choosing, the option to set downtimes for sleep at night, and the ability to totally restrict apps ... MoreI purchased this watch for my kid who needs to contact me after school.

So far so good. I purchased Apple Care rather than Walmart’s protection plan. I do wish more band colors were available through Walmart but I have already replaced the band to one that fits my kid better.
