Our take on the Apple Watch Series 3 GPS+Cellular - 38mm - Gold - Aluminum Pink Sand - MQJQ2LL/A

The Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular is Apple's third-generation smartwatch with a 38mm aluminum case and a Sport Band. Its headline feature is built-in cellular, so it can make calls, send texts and stream music without the iPhone nearby, and it adds built-in GPS for phone-free run and ride tracking. It covers the basics well: heart rate, activity rings, Apple Pay, Siri and 50m water resistance. Against newer Apple Watches it is dated — a smaller, dimmer screen, slower chip, no always-on display, no ECG or blood oxygen, and watchOS support has ended — so it suits budget buyers and simple needs rather than anyone wanting current health features.

Questions and answers

Does the Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular work without an iPhone?
It needs an iPhone to set up and pair, but with a carrier plan it can make calls, send texts and stream music on its own once set up.
Is it still worth buying over a newer Apple Watch?
Only if you want a basic, low-cost iPhone smartwatch. Newer models add a bigger always-on display, faster chips, ECG and blood oxygen, and current software support.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is rated for water resistance up to 50 meters, so pool swims and showers are fine, though it is not made for diving or high-speed water sports.
Does it need a cellular plan?
Cellular features need a carrier plan for the watch, sold separately. Without one it still works over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with your iPhone.
What is in the box?
The watch with its Sport Band, a magnetic charging cable and a power adapter.
Does it track sleep or blood oxygen?
It tracks heart rate, workouts and activity rings, but it has no blood oxygen sensor and no built-in sleep tracking.
