Does anybody have one? I'm contemplating on getting one but I don't want to waste money if it turns out to be crap.
If u have one then how do they fit? I see there's a 38mm and 42mm one.

I have the 42mm watch. I've had it for 18 months now and I love it. I work in an environment where it can be important to 'look the part' so it does me nicely as a stylish little watch. I quite like the activity tracking and the Nike+ stuff works well on it. I use it a lot when I'm driving to have a quick glance at a notification in case it's a travel alert or an important message that I need to (legally) respond to.
It's not a waste of money if you go in knowing exactly what you're getting. It's a watch that does what fit bit does, but without sleep tracking or stairs climbed, is now waterproof and gives you notifications. If you go in expecting it to be all singing all dancing you'll be disappointed. I wear mine almost every day. I don't tend to wear it if I don't leave the house but that has more to do with me not needing to know the time if I'm having a lazy Saturday than the watch itself. |

Guessing you'd recommend one then  just trying to find the cheapest 42mm one atm.

I feel like I can by rather clumsy and I'd likely unintentionally knock it against a wall or something.

No I don't, I've the normal Series 1 watch. The Nike+ stuff you get on it works well. Not sure if the new one has extra features on it with the Nike+ edition or just a pretty band.
Try on both size watches, you'll know which one is right for you by looking how they fit on your wrist. If you're a fairly slight frame then 38 might suit you more. |

I have personally never got the idea of Apple watches. I have a phone that tells time too. No need for one.

They're cool I guess but they don't fit my needs especially at the asking price
the unbranded ones are like £10-£20 if I ever change my mind and want to spice up my wrist tech

So I caved and bought one today. Didn’t want to pay full price so I went to CeX and got one for £160 including the strap.
It’s £100 cheaper than what it was in Argos and it looks brand new  Excited to see how this works |

I got one for £10 that does pretty much what the official one does
will let you know if it's any good when it arrivesand GOD the official prices, some are even worth just as much as an iPhone!

Yeah £50 says that either never works, or certainly doesn't work more than a week

True
Silas what apps do you have on your watch? I’m a bit disappointed that there’s no Twitter or WhatsApp. Those are apps I use very often. Trying to find games but there’s literally like 6 on the App Store? |

I don’t have many apps tbh. Mostly the airline companion apps and instagram. Boarding a flight with a watch is a novel feeling!!!
