- droopyEyelids 5y agoIt sounds like you two may place different value on some aspect of these devices
- smoldesu 5y agoApparently, the Series 3 is so similar that Apple decided to keep selling it another year.
- gnicholas 5y agoActually, I think the reason they're still selling the S3 is because it is quite different visually. If you don't mind having a watch that has a much smaller screen (which affects usability and isn't as 'prestigious' among Those Who Care) then you can get an Apple Watch for a price point that rivals Fitbit etc. Note: I am not one of Those Who Care — I still rock my Pebble Time Steel!
- Hamuko 5y agoWas the Series 3 the one where you have to perform pagan rituals in order to update the OS?
- smoldesu 5y agoNo, this model specifically requires two rain dances and a dream catcher. Close though!
- minimaxir 5y agoSupposedly watchOS 8 changes the upgrade mechanism such that it does not require pagan rituals. Although you need to get a pagan ritual to get it initially onto a Series 3.
- hutattedonmyarm 5y agoIt is. However the LTE models (and I think the ones they’re selling now) have more storage space, and iOS 8 also allows updating with less free space as well. Still, the S3 is completely outdated now
- rootusrootus 5y agoWhat's the feature that makes it most compelling for you? Screen size? I'll grant that going from 3 to 4 was a pretty big screen bump -- maybe this will be similar, in which case it could pique my attention. The always-on display is appealing, I've been looking forward to getting that ever since the Series 5 was released. But it won't be enough by itself to get me to put down the cash. I was hoping for thinner, and sorta hoping to see a design update along the lines of the iPhone 12/13.
