    Looking for opinions from anyone that owns one and might be looking to pick one up to try out.

    It is fun for the first month, then the newness wears off. I still find it useful due to the fact that I drive all day and it's an easy way to glance at emails and text that come through. Other than notifications and the activity tracker, I can't really think of anything else I use it for. Just those 2 things make it nice and convenient, but not really worth the $$$. My wife uses the "ping your phone" function multiple times a day, but that's just because she leaves her phone laying around and forgets where she left it.

    I like mine. They aren’t something you probably want to take out in the field hunting. There are functions that are great if you actually use them. If you buy one get a good protective case to put around it. Don’t ever just wear it out the box. The band it comes with is actually one of the best bands I have used on mine, coupled with a glass protective case to protect the watch face. They also make some pretty rugged bands that encase the whole thing.
    It might not be worth the investment if you don’t take advantage of all the features. You could spend half as much and get a very good outdoor watch.

    I wear mine almost everyday.

    I like it for a couple reasons.

    1) Its awesome when you are driving and using the map feature, instead of having to watch a GPS or your phone, your wrist vibrates when you need to do something

    2) its nice at work, I can leave my phone inside on the desk, and still take calls on my watch. No, it isn’t the cell version it uses wifi. I have the series 3 watch, doesn’t offer a cell option.

    3) the activity tracker, I link it to my healthy account at work, we actually get paid up to $300 a year for this.

    4) I sleep with it on, it tracks my sleep, it also is my alarm clock.

    5) It watches your heart, I had it wake me up 1 night when it detected a spike or something in my heartbeats. A potential heart attack I read.

    Very many features, it’s incorporated into my lifestyle now.

    This is not even to mention getting texts on you watch, so you don’t have to constantly have you phone, or constantly look at it like so many people do.

    you can also ping you phone if you misplace your phone.

    For my, it’s worth the price of admission.

    YMMV

    #2 is the reason I like it. I have the series 3 as well. Got it refurb when the series 4 was out. But the series 3 has a cellular option. I opted for it because my desk is may car and I can't count on wifi everywhere.
