Stunned by Apple Watch Series 3

Got to agree, the Watch has come a long way!

 

I think from where the first generation Apple Watch was and where the Series 3 is, it's all about the speed and battery improvements. Essentially, these watches all do the same thing, but It made the experience far less enjoyable with the lag. And Series 3 with the Faster dual core processor seems to have rectified that.

 

Really agree. I had the same feeling when I got the S2 a year ago - As a runner the GPS and water resistance was the killer feature but the added speed has made it way more enjoyable to use

 

Bought one last week because of where health and exercise functions have gone with the AW, but didn't expect to like it and did expect to return it.

Well, I didn't like it after all.

I love this thing. This is the iPhone 4S moment for the Watch. Thumbs up!

 

and once WatchOS4.1 is released you will enjoy the ability to stream music to your bluetooth headset without your iphone.

 

What are you folks doing with your old watches? Do they have any trade in or resale values? Not sure when to upgrade mine..

 

I will pass it to a family member.

 

Give it to someone who will enjoy it.

 

Ugh. This is making me crazy! S3 requires iOS 11, and my iPhone 5 doesn't support iOS 11, meaning I can't use the watch until I update my phone... So the watch is sitting in a drawer waiting for iPhone X to ship. Still using my S0, but every time there's another thread about how much better the S3 is than all the ones that came before I lose all patience!

 

I sold my series 0 core only (no bands or charger cable) for $100 cash on OfferUp (Gold - 42mm) - there is a big demand for these even the original.

 

I desperately want the Series 3 *sigh* still thankful for my Series 0 though.

 

*if you’re an Apple Music subscriber

 

My S1 is by no means fast. I may try to get another year out of it though.

 

Great to hear positive feedback on the progression of AW. I finally dipped my toes into the water in May of this year with the purchase of S2 Sport. I've been enjoying it and as I've commented in other posts, it rarely leaves my wrist. This really surprised me as I've got some good options with traditional watches. I'm going to enjoy this one for a while and when the time is right, I'll upgrade.

What do you folks who've been using the AW since 0 or 1 feel is still missing from the 3? Meaning, aside from upgrading hardware, what other functionality is not there that should be?

 

So you can't upload music from your itunes library to the new Apple watch and play music from the watch using your airpods?

 

WatchOS 4.0.1 can play music sync'd to it from an iPhone (iOS 11) playlist over bluetooth. Just tried it here.

 

*and have the GPS+Cellular Series 3.

I sold my Series 2 with AppleCare+ on Kijiji for $380 CDN and the upgrade to GPS only Nike+ cost me $530 all in.

 

You plan on upgrading or are you just holding off for various reasons?

 

I’m using the Apple Watch like watches, telling time . It can give notifications and encourage me to move .
So I think S0 or S3 are the same for me.

 

I sold my s2 on eBay for about $230

 

Just a few reasons. One: I would rather spend the $400 to help save for a new iPad Pro and two: this is still a really decent little beast.

However, I did test it out at Best Buy the other day and the speed improvements were so lightning fast and beautiful

 

After just getting my 42 mm space gray series 3 LTE to replace my 42mm series 0. I found that buybackworld.com will buy it so I’m selling it to them. I’m getting 55 bucks for my watch I would of got 80 but I’m keeping the chargeing puck so I have a spare. I usually sell to gazelle but they aren’t buying watches yet

I ended up buying one at 9 pm the s1 and like I've worn it for 7 minutes total and I'm just so unimpressed and underwhelmed. Glad everyone is enjoying theirs. The battery case I bought along with it is impressing me more lmao.
