You don't have to carry anything to listen to music, podcasts, or audio books with the wifi-only Apple Watch (beyond the bluetooth earphones, presumably), and it tracks your run too. The thing has 16GB of storage and a full ability to exist by itself. I've never used the S3, or the Garmin, so I have no idea how great they are, but I just had to comment on the Apple Watch thing.
There are some things that the Apple Watch seemed designed to be tethered to an iPhone, almost like they were (bizarrely) afraid that it would make people not want to upgrade their phone. They've taken a really rapid approach away from that, though, and the watch is becoming dramatically more powerful by itself, even though it could already do all of the basic things.
- matt-attack 7y agoYep. I go running routinely with just my Apple Watch and no phone. It's feels much better to not be clutching the phone in one hand. I listen to Podcasts and/or Music and when I get home I even use HomeKit to open my garage door to let me in the house. (That last one works presumably because I pop on the house wifi when I get near)
- dmamills 7y agoThis is true, the only reason I noted the LTE was because this gives me access to my entire Apple Music library on the go. Perfect for the indecisive listener like me! :)
- endorphone 7y agoSorry I misunderstood and thought you were talking about the Gear S3.
