Thanks for the compliments on the edition. I really like it. I'm having problems with LTE but it's my fault because I didn't have the right password. But got that taken care of. Good news- I changed my plan to like 1/4 my normal bill. But bad news- LTE is going to take a bit to activate because att is slammed due to the amount of Apple watches.

Hey! If you’ve never used an Apple Watch before you’re in for a real treat. I’ve had a series 0 for a while and it’s just such a huge part of my day to day life now. I can just leave my phone anywhere in the house and take calls on the watch when they come in, just being notified of stuff like that is great.
It also made me disable social media notifications and that too made my life so much better, I find myself not checking my social media messages often now, which in turn makes me not go on sites as often as I use to. I like how everything snowballed in this positive way, to the point that the one day I forgot to wear my Apple Watch my wrist felt empty of it’s heavy accessory. Having to dig my phone out just to check the time was irritating too. What a lovely device this is. I hope all you newcomers enjoy it too.

Oh! The pearl one! I’ve always liked the black steel models but I reckon the pearl will be my next one. It looks so nice in photos.Thanks for the compliments on the edition. I really like it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple removes the red dot from Series 4.

I really don't understand what is so bad about the red dot. I like it.
coolest combination: white ceramic+red dot.
may i ask if you considered the grey ceramic?
i think grey ceramic+red dot might be also nice as well.
Sure. Here you go.

I didn't. At all. I like that it's super subtle in grey. But I think it looks too much like the sport. I like that the one I got is white because it doesn't look as ritzy as the ss gen 1 had. In fact I think it looks like plastic. And I really like that it's Apple white
I upgraded from the S0 gray aluminum to the black steel S3 w/LTE. BIG difference!
First, the black steel looks very impressive, like one solid piece of shiny black. It is noticeably heavier than my aluminum S0, but I think I'll get used to it. The light weight of the S0 was one of my favorite features.
The speed is absolutely perfect! The S0 has always been sluggish, and the S3 update meets all my expectations.
I activated LTE via AT&T. Had some issues with my password, but eventually got it all sorted. The few test calls I made were successful, the other party was impressed with the sound quality.

Annoying that those of us with Series 2 and earlier Watches can’t use that Watch face.

Omfg some of you and your looney deranged little ticks.its just a red dot for gods sakes.
Take a black sharpie and be done with it. Then up your medication already.

It’s called a bug and they occasionally happen. Get over it. The Series 3 Watch is great.
"We've already seen Apple Watch Series 3 reviewsfrom the media, but opinions shared by regular customers can provide additional insight. We've rounded up some of the comments below, which we've edited very slightly for clarity."
This is the most ridiculous statement I've read in a while. These products are not made for the media. They're made for the general public. Shaking my head.

It’s the explorer watch face and i think only available with an LTE watch - it has a cell connection strength indicator

But bad news- LTE is going to take a bit to activate because att is slammed due to the amount of Apple watches.
I suppose that’s one advantage to the Oct 5 delivery date for my Nike+ Watch. Hopefully the activation rush will have slowed down by then!
I got my Series 3 Stainless Steel Space Black GPS + Cellular today. Color me impressed.
The build quality is outstanding, everything runs smooth and Watch OS 4 seems well thought out. The Store experience was also excellent, with the people there both knowledgeable and enthusiastic - it helps a lot when the people handling the product are excited about it. And, I've been wearing it and using it for 14 hours and it still has 68% charge.

I couldn’t agree more! I didn’t realize how much the slowness of my series 0 limited my use of the Watch until now. Here I was so excited for LTE but it may be the speed improvements that I end up liking best about this Watch.
People have invested too much in bands.

The watch face at the top of the article is exclusive to Apple Watch 3, right? I don’t see it in Watch OS 4.

Dot should have been emerald green. Nevertheless, it is a problem easily (tackily) fixed with a hole puncher and colored duct tape.

Lol relax bro. You’re more upset at people being upset at the red dot, then the people who are upset about the red dot.
