In many ways the most important new features of the Apple Watch Series 3 aren’t at all new hardware. Sure, cellular connectivity and its red dot gets all the attention, but I haven’t seen it be a huge deal for my day to day workouts.Apple Watch Series 3 Review
Smartwatches are one of those things where not everyone needs but secretly they do want one. Sure, it's nice to have a smartwatch but it just eliminates just one less step of pulling out your phone.- Lightweight
- Comes in a variety of case and band options

- Watch is super quick
- Siri on the Apple Watch is a nice addition

- Battery life hasn't increased from previous models
- Can be pricey depending on what bands/case you choose
- Getting around watchOS 4 is a bit convoluted
- LTE connectivity is limited to two carriers
