If in Europe or elsewhere you’ll get the plug for your local country. So if you’ve got those lying around from previous editions – then you’re well positioned for multi-location charging: This is the same as all past Apple Watch charging cables. It’s how you can spot the cellular version a million miles away. The red dot on the digital crown means it’s the cellular version. Namely because I forgot to take a picture before I started the video. Still want some photos though? No problem! First off, we’ve got the box itself, which sits behind all the things I took out of the box. I cover weights, size comparisons, and tons more. Not feelin’ like text and photos? No worries, we can start off with an uber-detailed unboxing video I put together of the Apple Watch Series 3. With that – let’s dive into things! Unboxing:

Note that I went out and bought my own Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular unit, at an Apple Store on launch morning. So do consider that in many ways you can achieve almost everything in this review with previous generation Apple Watches and save a few bucks. Most of those features got rolled out to previous Apple Watch units as well, as I outlined here. But in reality, most of the new features actually came with watchOS 4, which was introduced at the same time. It also gains an altimeter, for better tracking of elevation.

What it gains though in ‘GPS+Cellular’ edition is…well…cellular service (and the associated magical red dot). In theory, it’s got the same heart rate sensor, as well as the same GPS capabilities. Of course, in many ways the Apple Watch Series 3 isn’t appreciably different for sports usage than the previous Apple Watch Series 2 unit.

Of course, I’ll briefly touch on those things below, but my focus here is how well this performs while working out or racing. This review is all about sport and fitness, since there’s a gazillion other places you can read about general stuff like looking at the pretty apps screen above. Over the last 6 weeks I’ve been wearing the Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular edition to see how well it works not just in daily use, but more importantly sport and fitness use.
