Our take on the Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS, 38mm) Silver Aluminum Case with White Sport Band
The Apple Watch Series 3 is Apple's older entry-level smartwatch, with a 38mm aluminum case, built-in GPS and a white Sport Band. It shows notifications, tracks runs and walks without a phone, and is water-resistant to 50 meters. It suits iPhone owners who want basic notifications, fitness tracking and Apple Pay at the lowest tier of the lineup. Against newer Apple Watches it lacks an always-on display, blood oxygen sensing, ECG and crash detection, and its battery is rated around 10 hours rather than a full day.

What reviewers say
- 4.6 / 56,304 ratings
Owners rate it well as a simple, reliable first smartwatch, praising notifications, activity tracking and phone-free GPS runs. Many complain that the battery needs a nightly charge and that it feels slow and dated next to newer Apple Watches.
- BatteryCriticisedOwners say it often needs a charge before a full day is out, especially with workouts and GPS.
- PerformanceCriticisedApps open slowly and the interface lags, more so after software updates.
Questions and answers
- Is the Apple Watch Series 3 still worth buying?
- Only as a basic, low-cost iPhone companion. It handles notifications, Apple Pay and GPS workouts, but it is slow, needs near-daily charging and no longer gets the newest watchOS features.
- Does it work without an iPhone?
- No. It pairs with an iPhone and needs one for setup and most features. The GPS model has no cellular, so it cannot make calls or stream on its own away from the phone.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is water-resistant to 50 meters, so pools and showers are fine. Avoid high-velocity water like surfing and diving.
- How long does the battery last?
- Apple rates it around 10 hours of use, and owners report roughly a day at most with light use. GPS workouts drain it faster, so most charge it nightly.
- What is in the box?
- The watch with the white Sport Band, a magnetic charging cable and a power adapter. Bands are swappable with any 38mm or 40mm Apple Watch band.
- How does it compare with the SE or Series 8?
- The SE and Series 8 add a faster chip, a bigger brighter display, crash detection and, on Series 8, ECG and temperature sensing. The Series 3 is smaller and simpler but noticeably slower.
