I have a series 0 and I haven't felt the urge to change at all. Is the series 3 that much better? Like life-changing better?

I upgraded from a Series 0 to a Series 3 last winter. It's a huge difference if you use your watch for anything other than a clock/notification machine.

  What else do you use it for? I also have a series 0, and maybe I'm self-constrained because of its limitations, but I use it mainly for notifications, workouts, Siri, and messages. Works fine though a bit slow, but I can manage.

Notifications, workouts, Siri, calendar, weather and messages. Works fine though a bit slow, but I don't mind Are there really any other uses for the watch?

    I use it for: * sleep tracking * displaying todos on my watch face * Creating reminders * timers * pomodoros * step counting * music playing * phone calls * Logging my weight with the workflow app * apple pay * music and volume controls You can probably do all those? The series 3 will just be a lot faster in all transitions. Also has connectivity even if you go phoneless. (Though not all apps work)

      More or less. I do more PIM but occasionally play music and do calls. I'm in Spain, so no LTE for me. Otherwise I'd bought a Series 3 it in a heartbeat. Most important feature IMO.

        Yeah. That is exactly what convinced me to buy. I hadn't even cared about any of the stuff that I listed. Now that I have it, I love those features and would not want to go back. And I use the LTE less than I expected. But I am extremely glad to have it.

If you don't have any problems with it, then no, but the Series 3 is both much faster/less janky and has much better battery life.

I bought one in April of 2016, which I guess was S0 or S1. In November, I upgraded to an S3. The differences that matter to me: * It's MUCH faster. * Battery life is substantially improved. If I forgot to charge my old one, it would run down during day 2. This one can go 2 days with no problem. * It's actually waterproof. * Cell connectivity is surprisingly useful.
