The sports version of the most popular smartwatch on the market is enclosed in a sturdy aluminium case, in addition, the AMOLED screen of the model is covered with tempered reinforced glass. The red dot on the control crown makes it clear that the wrist companion is equipped with a cellular communication module, which makes it possible to access the Internet via 3G and LTE mobile networks, as well as make phone calls in regions with support for an electronic SIM card. Otherwise, the Apple Watch 3 Sport 42 mm Cellular retains the continuity of generations — the watch is made in a characteristic square form factor, its case can withstand diving to a depth of 50 m, and the built-in GPS module helps track the movement of the owner of the wearable gadget. The battery life of the device remained...at the same level (up to 18 hours of operation without recharging). A barometric altimeter has joined the number of sensors involved in measuring the parameters of the user's physical activity in the third generation of the wearable gadget.

Apple Watch 3 Aluminum 42 mm Cellular price graph

    Model overview based on user reviews  
    The Apple Watch 3 Aluminum 42 mm is a versatile smartwatch that offers a range of features such as a bright display, numerous applications, and the ability to answer calls and receive push notifications even when the phone is not at hand. It is lightweight and fits comfortably on the wrist, with a variety of interchangeable straps available. The watch is particularly useful for tracking activity, thanks to its built-in GPS and heart rate monitor. However, users have noted that the battery life is a downside, requiring daily charging, which can be inconvenient compared to other fitness bands like the Mi Band. Despite this, the watch remains relevant for 2023, providing essential functionalities like mobile payments and voice communication. Some users have mentioned that the speaker volume is relatively low during calls, and the model may feel slightly outdated compared to newer options like the Apple Watch SE. Overall, it is a good model for those who prioritize staying connected and tracking their fitness activities.
    Pros

    Cons

    great model, love it
    21 February 2021 
    At the moment, due to the slight difference in price with the new SE, you still need to think about what to buy.
    You can pay, talk
    at 21 years old it’s already rather weak, the speaker is quiet during a conversation
    great model, I really liked it
    2 December 2023 
    The first smartwatches. They look good, fit well on the wrist, you don't even feel them. 100500 straps. Convenient for tracking activity, the display is great. The only downside is the battery – it needs to be charged every day, which, of course, is not very convenient after a Mi Band.
    Display, many applications
    battery doesn't last well

    good model, like it
    2 December 2023 
    For me, in order to be aware of the notification when the phone rings, if the phone is not in hand, then it is relevant for 2023. The batteries last for 2-3 days.
    Ability to answer a call when the phone is not at hand.
    Find out the time when the phone is not at hand (because I never wore regular watches, only the phone).
    And Push-notifications.
    No
