Apple Watch Series 3
ImageTagInstance gallery-a2239e40-f48f-41a0-8e73-4d681c5fee6a IntroductionYou could say that the hoopla over smartwatches has died long ago, they've kind of hit this unseen roadblock where consumers just don’t seem to be as interested in them as before. Initially, the pacing was ferocious, as a slew of companies were quick to deliver their offerings to our wrists, but as time wore in, we all soon realized that we're still constantly favoring our mobile devices as our go-to portal for connectivity. Through it all, though, the Apple Watch has remained the most relevant, with only a handful of others trying to keep pace – and that's despite the slowed interest in the segment as a whole!The Apple Watch Series 3 introduces one major feature that aims to break the bond that has kept it tethered to its master, the iPhone. Now that true cellular connectivity is on board with the Apple Watch Series 3, is that, along with some other new features, enough to spark renewed interest? It's a tough ma...

Apple Watch Series 3
It's not easy to thoughtfully integrate cellular and LTE service on a wearable. A number of Android Wear devices have tried in the past, and none of them hit home runs. In my short time with the Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE, it's clear that Apple has the software chops to make cellular and LTE a...
Pros:
- Battery life can stand up to some LTE use
- Audible Siri responses make hands-free
- eyes-free Watch interactions easy
- Improved performance thanks to S3 dual-core processor
Cons:
- Why the red dot? Why
- LTE models require additional monthly charges by wireless service providers
- Quite expensive even before extra monthly wireless charges
- Standalone LTE can be unreliable
- No on-Watch toggles to disconnect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth manually

The Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular takes a major step forward in making Apple's wrist-worn device its own independent, connected computing platform. Simply put, it's a must-have for athletes in the Apple ecosystem, and a wearable device worth considering for many other non-fitness use cases.

Apple Watch Series 3 review: The smartest smartwatch yet
Let's talk about the red dot. The hint of bright color on the Apple Watch Series 3 digital crown serves no function. It's just a bold reminder that this wearable doesn't need your iPhone to do its job, thank you very much.

Apple Watch Series 3 Review: Approaching independence
Since launch, I've always liked the Apple Watch a lot. I'd even go so far as to say I'm a big fan of smartwatches in general, including Google's Android Wear platform - especially since the tech giant's recent 2.0 update "Despite what some may have initially thought, myself included, the cellular...

Review: Apple Watch Series 3
This year's Apple Watch looks just like last year's Apple Watch . The Series 3, which comes in two sizes and starts at $399, has few new features other than Siri's newfound ability to chime in at really awkward times.
Pros:
- An always-on LTE connection totally changes what you can do with a Watch
- It's an impressive fitness tracker
- Believe it or not, Siri's pretty great
Cons:
- The battery lasts a day in the best case---and often less
- The Watch's interface still takes too long to figure out
