Consumer interest in smartwatches has been somewhat low since they first started to hit the market, so the Apple Watch Series 3 has been designed to offer a bevy of functionalities to make it irresistible to curious users.
The new device from Apple looks almost identical to the previous models yet boasts a cellular connection within that will let users take calls, send messages and even stream music without having to carry their smartphone with them. This comes as a monumental leap forward as it will enable users to leave their smartphone behind without feeling any disconnection from the functionalities they need the most.
The Apple Watch Series 3 also sports a processor that's 70% faster than the previous generation, a barometric altimeter for tracking elevation changes and will come in ceramic and aluminum finish options.
