I have the series 3 Apple Watch 42mm Nike+, and I really love it! I’ve bought it 4 months ago. I have watchOS 5 beta on it and it’s really fast.

Apple has made some major strides since the inception of this product! I’ve waited and I think I will pickup the 4, thanks for the heads up on some unknown features for me. Thanks....I just wish it had an always on display.

Luv my 38 mm Series3 Space Grey SS LTE Cellular watch, no upgrade needed... Looking forward to watchOS5

Hope the next Apple Watch is a bit thinner, it is noticeable how thick it is now

[mrkike]

It's the best and only smartwatch to buy which is valuable

I just bought the Apple Watch Series 3 for $229. Very happy with it.

Truth be told, my Series 3 (Nike edition) very often gets laggy when playing music and opening the Workouts App at the same time. Naturally I like streaming music from the Apples Watch while running, and it’s kind of annoying when the Workouts App fails to launch. I’ve even had to restart the watch in order to make the music app and the Workouts App work simultaneously. I don’t know if it’s a software issue or lacking of more RAM, but I hope they fix it

How is your stock investing going? I saw the Robinhood app :)

I feel the same, Love my series 3, but i will most likely upgrade.

I have the series 0 Black Stainless Steel Watch, and the best thing about it versus the Black SS version today is that it has a Diamond Carbide coating. This made it 100% scratchproof. The link bracelet that it came with had that coating as well.

Sadly they no longer do this. Happy to see they still hold up anyway though!

Looks like you got the larger screen in the new series 4!

I love my Series 3, I upgraded a few months ago from the Series 2 (I would have upgraded in the Fall when it released but I was focussed on buying the iPhone X). I got the series 3 though for the speed (it makes a world of difference, agreed) & compatibility with AirPower since Apple’s website indicated only the Series 3 & later Watches would be compatible.

Really great review, I'm tempted to get one when the series 4 comes out and the prices lower. I couldn't help but to notice the audio in the video sometimes sounded like something was thumping occasionally? Its more noticeable when the volume is higher

I love the series 3 - unfortunately the LTE version hasn’t been released in NZ yet.

[kforce]

Im pretty excited to get the series 4, ive never owned an apple watch. my only concern is that ill buy one every year lol

[RayoBeatz]

[LilPani]
