Best smartwatch on the market for durability!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best smartwatch on the market! I bought my Apple Watch in 2022 after killing three Fitbitch smartwatches and one no name Amazon smartwatch. It’s 2024 and my Apple Watch lives on despite me working outside, year round in various weather conditions, despite banging off equipment, and forgetting to take it off in the shower. This has been the most durable by far. It is a little banged up and doesn’t hold a charge like it did in the beginning but it still works fine.

Happier Than Expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased an open box watch which I thought I would never do but so far, I haven't had any problems with the open box and even though it wasn't a huge savings, it was enough to cause me to get the 3 series instead of the 2. I bought this watch to replace a broken fitbit and I am so glad I did because it so perfectly pairs with my mac air, iphone 7 and ipad I own. I was surprised by friends that say they don't use many of the features on the watch because I am 60 (supposedly older people don't understand tech stuff) and I use so many features on this watch. I recommend you go online, download the instruction manual (over 300 pages) use the table of contents to skim what you don't think you'll need and read the parts you might use. In addition to all of the sport tracking features I love the little things, I can ping my phone (which I am always losing), it automatically opens my mac air, I can silent my phone without taking it out of my purse, I can see who is calling me and send a short response without taking my phone out of my purse, I can set up my clock face to my specifications so that I can see the time without my reading glasses or know what time it is in Dublin where my son lives. I can quickly make it waterproof before I wash dishes or bath the dog and if I want I can wear it when I swim laps at the YMCA but I haven't tried that yet. I guess you can tell I love this watch.

Timeless Elegance – Apple Watch Series 3 (Gold, 38
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Apple Watch Series 3, in its radiant gold hue and 38mm size, is a testament to both style and functionality. This timepiece seamlessly blends into my daily routine, offering a perfect balance of design and features. The gold aluminum finish exudes sophistication, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion. The 38mm size strikes a harmonious balance between a sleek profile and a display that remains comfortably readable. It effortlessly complements both casual and more formal outfits, adding a touch of elegance to my wrist. In terms of functionality, the Series 3 remains a reliable companion. The crisp OLED Retina display ensures clear visibility of notifications, fitness metrics, and watch faces. While it may not boast the latest features of newer models, it excels in the essentials – tracking daily activities, heart rate monitoring, and delivering timely alerts. The watchOS ecosystem provides a seamless experience, allowing easy customization of watch faces and quick access to essential apps. The water-resistant design ensures peace of mind during workouts or unexpected rain showers. The battery life is commendable, easily lasting a full day on a single charge. Whether tracking workouts, receiving notifications, or simply checking the time, the Series 3 keeps up with my daily demands without missing a beat. While it may lack some advanced features of newer Apple Watch models, the Series 3 remains a reliable and stylish companion. Its timeless design, coupled with Apple's attention to detail, makes it a valuable addition to my daily ensemble, proving that sometimes, classic simplicity is the key to enduring elegance.

Gold replaced Rose Gold for Series 3. Great change
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Apple discontinued "Rose Gold" for Series 3 watches. But they changed the "Gold" color from the Series 2. My wife and I both like the new Series 3 Gold. It's somewhere between Gold and Rose Gold. And the wristband is a better Pink. The actual watch is, of course, awesome! She got the one without Cellular (with Cellular you will have to pay $10/mo to your cell phone provider for the watch). You will get all the same features on the regular Series 3 watch that the Cellular one has. The only difference is that Cellular will let you leave your phone at home or in the car and you will still be able to receive calls and texts on your watch. But most people don't need that.

Love the Series 3
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't need the latest and greatest, or the EKG, or even the fall detection. What I really needed was a watch, that could work with my phone, fit my wrist, give me directions and work with my laptop. It's perfect. It works. I can't use my phone of the sales floor, but I CAN phone through the watch, help my customers, answer the business phone and send texts through the watch, all without missing a beat. I cannot tell you how fascinated my customers are, and how many questions I get about the Series 3 AND the Series 4 I bought for my 87 year old and she loves it. I also cannot tell you how many times I will see a customer, having explained how I use my watch, who has gone to Best Buy or Apple and bought their own, and have come back to thank me and share how they use their watch! BTW I drive horses Combined Driving. The watch is very good for keeping me on pace AND on course :D

Love It!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m the one that always opted out to getting the Apple Watch. I thought it was pointless until now. I love this watch. It’s so convenient, simple to setup, and easy to use. It beats always having to pick up your iPhone to respond to messages. It’s the best! Oh yeah, don’t be silly like me by making a second trip to Best Buy asking for a larger band because it comes in the box. Lol. The watch comes with the smaller band already on it and the large band is in the box. Also, I went with the 38mm because the 42mm was too big for my wrist. The 38mm is a perfect fit. I’m still exploring the watch and loving it!

Q: QuestionDoes the Series 3 watch with only GPS (not cellular) have the Apple Music capability (streaming up to 40,000 songs or whatever the number is), or is that feature exclusive to the GPS+cellular versions of the watch?
Asked by KaylaS.
- A:Answer I bought this watch few days ago, had same question but now I do have an answer. The watch that is non cellular and only has GPS has 8 gig internal memory. I have 215 songs and now I only have 2.2 gig left. So It won't hold 40,000 songs; but I am loving it because I can leave my phone in the car locked and hit the gym. To me it has full function of ipod with some adds on feature. To play the music you must have Bluetooth headphone paired, it doesn't work on speaker.

Q: QuestionCan you leave phone at home and still make calls from watch?
Asked by Quail.
- A:Answer The series 3 has a GPS or a GPS with cellular option. If you get the GPS option (without cellular) you cannot make phone calls with your watch separately from your phone.
Answered by TomB
Q: QuestionDoes the GPS watch have to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to send/receive texts (while being close to the phone?) Verizon said in order to do so I'd have to put it on our plan for an extra charge.
Asked by confusedbank.
- A:Answer I purchased the GPS watch and can still receive phone calls, texts and reply to them from my watch. As long as your phone is in the distance to be picked up you will get the notifications. I left my phone in my office at work and walked around the office- I received all my texts and phone calls. You don’t need the cell service to get these things. The cell service is only for the person that doesn’t always have there cell phone close. So in that case the watch acts like a full cell phone service and all without your phone any where near it. You could leave your cell at home and go to work with your watch. I find the GPS watch to work wonderfully!! I highly recommend it!

Q: QuestionWhat's the difference between GPS and GPS + Cellular? Will I be billed extra by my carrier if I buy the GPS + Cellular?
Asked by JennyP.
- A:Answer YOU choose whether to pay the extra $10/ month to your current iPhone carrier. For example, if you have ATT for your iphone carrier, then you call ATT and add the watch to your plan. They charge you $10 plus taxes and fees.. You do NOT GET A DIFFERENT number for the watch. You use the same number as your iPhone. Both will ring - and when you are out on a run or bike ride etc, you can leave your iPhone at home. You can turn the $10 additional fee off any time. Watch works fine without it. But without the watch cell fee it requires the iPhone nearby to make and receive calls ( via Bluetooth)
