I am just wondering if it is worth spending my money on an apple watch?
Have looked into the galaxy gear and was tempted to buy one but have since preordered my iPhone 6s+


Well first off, mixing and matching gear from various vendors will probably lead to headaches and wasted money. If you ordered an iPhone, obviously you will want o pair it with an Apple Watch which was designed specifically to work with.

Is it worth it? For me it is. I like getting notifications on my wrist for my phone without the loud ding. Gentle taps on my wrist lets me know something of interest just came in on my phone. Especially if I'm at the movies or out at dinner. The fitness aspect is very nice and huge for me as well. A lot of good data is captured and in general its a good tool that helps you in getting healthier if you use it as such.

Depending on the version you get and bands, it's appropriate for any occasion.

Yes if I were to get one I would only choose the apple watch
I think I would get great use out of it so I think I'm going to purchase one.

Good choice! You won't regret it. I recommend getting a band like leather or milanese that covers work and social functions, then a sports band for fitness if you are into that. Enjoy! You are going to love it!

Not sure. I know they sell third party ones. I buy my stuff directly at an Apple store. You could order online from Apple.com and have it shipped to your door if you don't have an Apple store near by.
