Apple Watch Series 3

Meowingkitty · ‎06-19-2010

Talk about yesterday's technology today. Apple Watch is now on series 8. For a bit more you can get something that is current without all the unnecessary accessories. Buyer beware.

I hear what you're saying, but I thought the most current was the Ultra at about $800. I think the series 3 cost about $400.

The thing a purchaser needs to be aware of is whether their phone is compatible with the watch. I have an older phone what I'm perfectly happy with and don't intend to upgrade anytime soon. Because of that the newest watch my phone is compatible with is a series 6. So sometimes the newest isn't better for you.

The Ultra is for the hard core sports enthusiast. It's rough and tough and big. I bought the regular series 8 for $399.00 the day they came out. So if you buy the 3 you're 5 generations behind. I had a 6 and it was 2 years old so I would think a series 3 is maybe 5 years old already.

No one needs such a device. Ive owned a Peugeot watch Ive had for over 40 years. The need to have an electronic device strapped to ones wrist is asinine.

Millions of people will disagree with you. Each person is allowed to spend his money however he sees fit.

I once felt as you do, but have plunked out my hard-earned dollars as a safety measure. I enjoy using my device and nobody is starving as a result of my purchase.

For many years I wore an inexpensive Timex watch but then the maintenance on it began to exceed its original cost. I'm nearly 80 years old now and my lifestyle has changed greatly.

@Etoile308 I just checked Apple, and the Series 8 is $400. They don't sell the Series 3 anymore. I would never buy an outdated model. I have the Series 7 and love it. They weren't selling the Series 3 when I bought my watch almost a year ago.

@Reever There are so many advantages to having an Apple watch. I bought mine 11 months ago and am so happy with it. I can check my heartbeat, blood oxygen level, take a 3 line EKG and many other things.

I set it to "sleep" when I go to bed, and it tells me how long I've slept, how long I was in deep, REM, and core sleep, and how long I was awake. It's very helpful to me.

If I have a hard fall and the watch detects I'm not moving, they automatically call me, 9-1-1 and my emergency contact. That gives me a sense of security.

It may not be something you would want, but for me, it was $400 very well spent.

Does your Peugeot watch detect when you may have fainted and does an emergency call to your designated contact? My Apple Watch does. I have had syncope, so it's a big relief to have it.

Who died and put you in charge? I don't understand why women who are anti-technology spend time on the electronics board?

I have an Apple Watch and love it.

Here are some of the reasons why.

I don't need to carry my iPhone (I have a 6" phone) while I am out working around the property or going for a walk. The watch gives me many of the iPhone features without having the phone with me.

I have a ring doorbell and my watch notifies me when someone is at the door. This allows me to be anywhere on my large property instead of in the front yard if I am expecting a delivery or a visit from a friend.

it also holds 4g of music so when I walk I don't need a separate device to listen to music.

The 'Fall Detected" is more important to me as I age.

I use the workout app regularly.

I use the timer function all the time. It allows me to set multiple timers when cooking.

I use it to listen to FM radio stations and podcasts. I can quickly check email or texts without pulling out my phone.

I use it to find my other devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc).

To me it is a big convenience. LM
