Watch Series 3 for Sales
Along with the new iPhones, Apple has also updated its line of smartwatches. The third generation Apple Watch cannot boast of radical improvements, but pleases with additional sensors and modes of operation, and also promises smoother operation thanks to the new SoC. We got acquainted with the watch and used it in real life. In this article - all the details!
Before moving on to the innovations and impressions of using the Apple Watch Series 3, let's take a look at the current Apple Watch lineup.
As we recall, the first Apple Watch came in two sizes (42 and 38 mm) and two types of materials: aluminum Apple Watch Sport with Ion-X glass and steel Apple Watch with sapphire crystal. In addition, there was also the elite Apple Watch Edition, but it can be ignored, since the watch for a million is a very tiny segment.
When a year later the manufacturer introduced the second generation of watches, there was no longer a steel version, but the first generation was still available in all its variety. And now, with the release of Apple Watch Series 3, it was decided not to confuse buyers completely and by a Watch Series 3 for Sales strong-willed decision to limit the choice to size (42 or 38 mm), generation (Series 1 or Series 3; Series 2 watches are no longer presented in the Apple Store) and color ( Silver, Gold, White, or Space Gray).
Alas, now you cannot buy a watch with a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, although it was a really wonderful design decision. You can't even choose between Series 2 and Series 3. But the price of Series 1 has dropped to 18,490 rubles, so the selection strategy has become extremely simple: if you want to save money, take any version of Series 1, if you want much wider functionality - Series 3. At the same time, in terms of appearance, they practically do not differ (except for the color and straps, of course).
Let's take a look at the characteristics of the Apple Watch Series 3 and compare them with the two previous generations.
rectangular, flat, AMOLED, 1.5 ″, 272 × 340 (290 ppi) / 1.65 ″, 312 × 390 (304 ppi)
removable, leather / silicone / metal / nylon
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE (optional)
watchOS 3.0 (update available to watchOS 4.0)
* Prices and offers are for models with an aluminum case and a silicone strap
Of course, according to these characteristics, little can be said about the innovations of the Apple Watch Series 3, especially compared to Series 2. Apple does not disclose details about the single-chip systems: not even the frequency of the CPU cores is reported. We only know that all SoCs have two of them, but Series 3 has the most productive SoC.
We cannot verify this with any tests, but traditionally the difference will be felt with the release of new versions of watchOS. For example, on the very first Apple Watch, the new watchOS 4 significantly slows down.
As we can see, the main difference is the potential availability of the cellular version. However, it should be noted that in Russia such options are not yet officially on sale, since our operators do not yet support this option in the form that Apple implements (via eSIM and using the same number from the iPhone). However, I think this is a matter of time.
We will talk about the rest of the differences in this article.
