Why we picked the Apple Watch Series 3
Like the Apple Watch Series 2 and Series 1, the new Apple Watch Series 3is superbly made, very simple to use, and has a comprehensive list of health and fitness-tracking features. Plus it can run apps, and play music via Bluetooth, and looks smart. It comes in two sizes, 38mm and 42mm, so it looks sensible on most wrists. What makes the new model stand out? The Series 3 is very close to being a smartwatch you can use in lieu of your phone.
This is due to the inclusion of a 4G LTE radio, which provides a data and cellular connection, so you can make calls, receive and send messages, and carry out a host of tasks you’d previously only been able to do on your phone. We say it’s only close, however, because third-party app support isn’t as comprehensive as it needs to be in order for you to completely go without your phone. Nonetheless, we suspect this will be an issue cured in the near future by app developers.
