The Apple Watch Series 3 is the best overall smartwatch you can buy, but battery limitations and add-on fees keep it from being a must-have upgrade...
Apple has made the Series 3 cheaper than the Series 2 yet packed in more storage and a faster processor. It will cost you more if you want built-in 4G, but that could be the killer feature if you've longed to use your Watch without having to carry your iP...
With the Apple Watch Series 3 it does feel like Apple has finally released a wearable that realises its potential. The LTE-equipped models have a freedom that is truly useful, especially in terms of health and fitness, but also for conveniently staying in...
Incredibly small for a 4G smartwatch, Still the best fitness tracker around, Voice calls work surprisingly well, Battery life holds up, even when using 4G, Huge array of bands means you can make it your own
Only available on one carrier in the UK, Apple Music streaming not yet available on 4G, Not all apps work on 4G without your phone, You still need an iPhone to use it, Overkill if you mainly want fitness tracking
Leaving the cellular question aside for the moment, is it worth upgrading to the Watch Series 3 if you're existing Watch owner? While I did see some performance improvements from the Series 3, it's unlikely that Series 2 owners will see any reason to upg...

Ability to ditch the iPhone, WatchOS 4, Ease of making calls, Still looks the part, Greater fitness focus than before
Call issues if you are on captive Wi-Fi network, No international roaming
It's faster, quicker, and smoother in its operation, and that's before you add the cellular connectivity to the mix.Whether you're someone who believes they will benefit from mobile connectivity on the go is something only you can answer. The Apple Watch...
Abstract: A steady stream of rumors suggested that Apple was on the verge of announcing a third-generation Apple Watch that would be able to connect to cellular networks, freeing it from its dependence on the iPhone for both voice calls and data. The new Apple Watc...
Abstract: The next Apple smartwatch may arrive on Tuesday. If the rumors are true, the company's Sept. 12 event will include the debut of the Apple Watch 3, as we assume it will be called, in addition to the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, and a new 4K Apple TV...

Cellular connectivity, Faster processor and wireless chip, Altimeter
Battery life lower than Series 2 (albeit largely dependent on how much you use cellular), Does not support roaming
We liked the original Apple Watch and adored the Apple Watch Series 2, which kept all the good stuff and fixed all the problems. We're therefore looking forward eagerly to the announcement of the Series 3, but it's harder to see how it will make its mark...
The smart watch has an electronic SIM that duplicates the data from the SIM in your mobile phone and allows you to make calls, send messages, surf the web, use Siri and even stream tracks from Apple Music when you don't have your phone with you, Voice ass
The Apple Watch Series 3 doesn't work with Android devices, It's slow to boot up, taking more than a minute in our tests, If you want to make and take calls from the watch without your phone, you'll need an EE SIM card
The Apple Watch Series 3 is the best smart watch on the market. Simple to use and comfortable to wear, it fuses a great activity tracker with the features of a smartphone that let you stay in touch. It's expensive but worth every penny...
