Makes calls from your wrist, Voice control is excellent, A joy to use, Masses of personalization options, Superb fitness tracking ability
Third-party app support is lacking, Expensive, Speaker is quiet
Yes. The Apple Watch Series 3 is, by a massive distance, the best smartwatch you can buy. WatchOS easily eclipses Android Wear, from the fitness features to the neatness with which the cellular connectivity has been integrated, and it's lightning fast in...

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
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

Incredibly small for a 4G smartwatch, Still the best fitness tracker around, Voice calls work surprisingly well, Battery life holds up, even when using 4G, Huge array of bands means you can make it your own

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, No international roaming
It's faster, quicker, and smoother in its operation, and that's before you add the cellular connectivity to the mix.Whether you're someone who believes they will benefit from mobile connectivity on the go is something only you can answer. The Apple Watch...
Abstract: A steady stream of rumors suggested that Apple was on the verge of announcing a third-generation Apple Watch that would be able to connect to cellular networks, freeing it from its dependence on the iPhone for both voice calls and data. The new Apple Watc...
Abstract: The next Apple smartwatch may arrive on Tuesday. If the rumors are true, the company's Sept. 12 event will include the debut of the Apple Watch 3, as we assume it will be called, in addition to the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, and a new 4K Apple TV...
