I've owned 2 Series 1, and 1 Series 2 watches and couldn't justify the expense of owning them. Then the Series 3 came out and I learned I wouldn't have to drag my heavy iPhone X around anymore when I exercise, cause with this watch, I could download my playlists, stick in my AirPods, fire up my Nike...

If you have an iphone this is the watch to get. Many watches are great for exercise and have nice designs like the Samsung gear S3 but this one is the one that packs the biggest amount of features, and specially if you want to seriously exercise you have to get the Nike version, it already comes...

I have used many different smart watches with iOS and Android. Apple gets it right now with cellular. I stream Apple Music leave my phone in the car and don't have to worry about missing a call or notification. Android falls way short.

The Apple Watch is now in its third year, so is it third time's a charm, or just more of the same? We've been wearing, exercising, calling, texting, and plenty of other things using the new 4G-equipped smartwatch to find out whether now is the time to start wearing it, or whether you can pass this...

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; Apple Music streaming not here yet; no international roaming

Plenty of improvements and upgrades on a proven formula – the Apple Watch 3 is the best smartwatch available.

Snappier performance; Improved exercise tracking; Super-bright and clear display; Decent battery life (when not reliant on LTE; watchOS 4 improvements; Apple Pay is still super useful

LTE has a big impact on battery life; Needs more dedicated watch apps to make use of LTE; Need to wait for Apple Music streaming; Siri doesn't always work; No LTE roaming

Welcome to our Apple Watch Series 3 review, in which we check out the watch's design and new features, put it through rigorous performance and battery tests, and rate it for value for money. If you reach a decision after reading this, you can buy

Apple is good at making you want things you may not need or want in your life. Adding 4G to the Apple Watch might be another instance of this, even if it is technically great

Fits perfectly, looks good, does mostly everything the series 4 does and I'm happy. Charge lasts brilliantly and couldn't be more happy with the purchase and the customer service.

My husband loves it and can't believe what features it has. It must be easy to use as he's not good with technology. He particularly keen he can talk through it and has not got to rummage around for his phone. It is a great success in our house I want one now

Note: Author's carrier is TELUS which has yet to provide an ETA on Apple Watch compatibility. A second part to this review, which focuses on the LTE aspect, will follow as soon as the service can be tested.
