Our take on the Apple Watch Series 3 38mm GPS Silver with White Sport Band

The Apple Watch Series 3 is Apple's older aluminum smartwatch with built-in GPS, an optical heart sensor and 50-meter water resistance. It runs watchOS and pairs only with an iPhone, so it is an iPhone accessory rather than a standalone device. It covers the basics well: notifications, activity rings, workouts with GPS, Apple Pay and heart-rate tracking. Against newer Apple Watches it lacks an always-on display, ECG, blood-oxygen sensing and the larger edge-to-edge screen, and its S3 chip is slow by current standards. It suits budget buyers and first-time smartwatch users who want core tracking on an iPhone.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Series 3 as a solid entry-level Apple Watch: reliable notifications, accurate-enough GPS and heart-rate tracking, and comfortable all-day wear. Most criticism centers on sluggish performance and battery life that needs a nightly charge, and many note it feels dated next to newer models.
