APPLE WATCH SERIES 3 REVIEW:
Apple Watch Series 3 is the gold standard of smartwatches, even in silver aluminum.
The Apple Watch Series 3 has relieved my Forgotten Phone Anxiety. You know the feeling: You reach your destination and paw at the outside of your pocket to feel the phonesized lump and it isn’t there. And you panic.
Mind you, my stomach still drops when I realize my phone isn’t with me (even times when I had purposefully left it at home), but now my fears quickly subside. With an LTE-equipped Apple Watch Series 3 on my wrist, I don’t need to turn around and head back to my house. I know that if someone is trying to get in touch with me, they can, and if an urgent email comes in, I can answer it.
That being said, I didn’t need more than a couple days with my LTE-equipped Apple Watch Series 3 to see that it’s not meant to be away from an iPhone for very long. Its main selling point might be independence, but it’s still a generation or two away from being a full replacement for your iPhone.
But man is it close.
TIMELESS APPLE WATCH DESIGN
Reviews of Apple products generally devote many words to design, but there’s not a whole lot to say about the Apple Watch Series 3. It’s the same dimensions as the Series 2 (38.6 x 33.3 x 11.4 or 42.5 x 36.4 x 11.4 millimeters, depending on which size you choose), and there’s just one new color, gray, in the $1,299 ceramic Edition model, as well as a tweaked gold aluminum to match the iPhone
