The world on your wrist

Although released in 2017, the appeal of the Apple Series 3 is timeless (heh). It's still one of the best smartwatches out there thanks to its smart GPS, ability to track heartbeat and calorie-burn, and affordable price. Put it this way, if you've always wanted to own an Apple watch, there's never been a better time to snatch one up!

Use it to take calls, respond to texts, sync up to music streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, and track steps and workout goals. It pairs seamlessly with the iPhone, too. Fancy an impromptu news break? Check in with Siri for up-to-the-minute happenings, weather reports and more. Just hold down the watch’s digital crown to bring up the voice assistant or simply say ‘Hey Siri’ for instant access.

“I love this watch,” shared an excited shopper. “It feels like what the Apple Watch was meant to be. The ability for Siri to talk back is refreshing... And the fact that it is waterproof seals the deal.”

The watch comes in two sizes, 38mm and 42mm—which you opt for will depend on the size of your wrist and your preference for a smaller or larger display.

Same great technology, crazy-low price

Back in September 2020, Apple released the new Apple Watch Series 6. And it's great, but frankly there ain't much in the way of significant differences between the Series 3 and Series 6. Sure, the latter features an always-on watch face versus having to tap or turn your hand to see the screen, but even that's not something everyone wants. Otherwise, both editions remarkably similar and—crucially—both go strong for 18 hours per charge. And oh yeah: The Series 3 is much, much easier on your wallet.

“The screen is exceptionally sharp and bright and I was very pleasantly surprised by the battery life,” wrote a five-star reviewer of the Series 3. “At night, I put it into battery saving mode and can get through the whole weekend on a single charge.”

The Apple Watch Series 3 is perfect for iPhone users who want the benefits of notifications and quick info at a glance—things you can’t do with its closest competitor, the Fitbit Charge 3.

“I bought the Apple Watch for fitness tracking,” added another satisfied shopper. “I went from a Fitbit to this and wow! I think the tracking is way more accurate. I used to roll my eyes at this watch thinking, who really needs it? But I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I love this—and how I’d been able to live without it for so long.”
