I love the always-on display, the faster processor that opens my exercises, music, and podcasts at a glance, which is what a wearable needs to do. My primary Apple Watch is a Series 6 model. How does it feel to use the Apple Watch Series 3 in 2021? If you do, this is how the Apple Watch Series 3 is hanging out today. What I want to say is: the 2017 Apple Watch Series 3 is still as good as new in many areas, and it will support at least watchOS 8, but you shouldn’t buy it. Apple could solve this problem by improving the software update mechanism to reduce space requirements. And even if you choose the version with GPS, the only real downside is the need to restore it every time because of the lack of storage. Not to mention, this gives you no space for offline songs and podcasts.Īnother sign that this Apple Watch could be going away is because it lacks Watch Faces variations, since it doesn’t support multiple complications at the same time.īut if the customer buys today an Apple Watch Series 3 from a reseller that still has the model with Cellular with 16GB of storage, the Watch will feel as good as new.

Here’s why we’ve been saying that Apple should discontinue the Series 3: because the company only sells the version with 8GB of storage and it’s not very intuitive at all to restore the Apple Watch every time you need to upgrade it for the latest version of watchOS. This time, not only the seventh-generation iPod touch is still being sold, but the Apple Watch Series 3 is living its best life as “In Stock” and available all over the US. Yesterday, my colleague Parker Ortolani wrote about the time Apple discontinued not once but twice an iPod touch ahead of WWDC for a simple reason: it wouldn’t support the latest iOS. Discontinuing it should be the obvious verdict, but it’s not a guarantee that it’s what the company will do. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been discussing at 9to5Mac what path will Apple take with the Apple Watch Series 3.
