Apple Watch Series 3
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.
Pros:
- Cellular connection works well for phone calls, email, Siri and messages
- Music now syncs more easily
- Improvements in fitness tracking and added watch faces
- Adds barometer to GPS and swimproofing
- Same overall size as last year's watch
Cons:
- Battery life takes a major hit when making calls or during GPS workouts
- 42mm cellular model is expensive, and that's before monthly wireless service and Apple Music fees
- Still requires an iPhone to set up and pair with

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

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

- Improved performance
- Great battery life when connected to a phone
- Valuable new fitness features
- Siri feels more useful
Cons:
- iPhone still needs to be on to receive texts
- Lousy battery life on LTE
- Call quality can vary

Apple Watch Series 3 review
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
