I recently decided to purchase apple care for my S9. I work in an environment where it can get bumped a lot, and even though I’ve had Apple Watches for years now I still like the peace of mind it brings. After having the S9 for just over a month there’s lots of micro scratches, which is disappointing but not too noticeable
It’s a very solid companion device for the iPhone. You don’t need your phone in your hand to check notifications, send messages, or make calls. It has a slew of fitness features and health tracking if you’re into that stuff.
It’s the kind of device that’s hard to understand its true value until you have one and use it. If your friends have one you can have fitness competitions, or use the walkie talkie feature. They’re the most widely supported smart watch, with so many band options to suit your style and needs.
