O Apple Watch Series 3 It is Apple's latest smart watch model. Presented in September 2017 in the United States, it arrived in Brazil in mid-November. With a competitive price and without one of the great charms of the watch abroad – the connection to the 4G/LTE network – the model sold in the country has only gps connection and it needs to be synced with an iPhone to work 100%. 5a6c
After two months of testing with the 3mm Apple Watch Series 42 provided by Apple, we bring the complete analysis of it. Check out!
What Apple Watch is this? 3e5r23
Since it was launched in 2015, Apple's smart watch has not undergone visual changes. the model of aluminum – the only one sold in Brazil – follows the original model to the letter, with a small difference: outlets for ejecting water and “two holes” for the microphone in the left corner.
In of design, the SmartWatch from Apple is not a conventional watch, as it is a 38 or 42 mm pad with rounded corners and an OLED screen. As with the Cupertino company's various products, it is easy to distinguish it from other smart watches, but it is difficult (impossible) to know if a person's wrist is Apple Watch Series 3, 2, 1 or original.
Apple's great insight, for me, is the bracelets, the items that really bring a unique air to the wearable and give the personality. Currently, there are three colors of the watch “case”: silver, space gray and gold (in the same style as the iPhone 8), the bracelets can be of nylon weft, silicone or leather, with an infinity of choices and colors, which are renewed every season.
The interesting thing about the Apple Watch is that it serves from the “dad who wants to see notifications on his wrist”, the “young cool geek” to a businesswoman who uses the watch in various situations of the day.
The truth is that Apple manages with a single case to transform the watch into different styles thanks to the different bracelets and collections. And since it hasn't changed its design forever, if you own an original Apple watch, you can enjoy all your current bracelets in Series 3.
How is the Apple Watch used? 4p4x6u
In the third version, the Apple Watch Series 3 is the first to deliver a fast, smooth and practical experience when the needs to take a look at the time or notifications.
With a dual-core S3 processor, 70% faster than the last generation, and Apple's new W2 chip, which promises greater stability in the bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection, this is the Apple Watch that you can finally say “I'm going to buy”.
Not that there's anything wrong with the original watch or the next version, but the Series 3 is fast enough to meet your demand instantly.
Unlike the iPhone, which was made for long interactions, the watch is not. It vibrates, you look. Want to call an Uber? Ask Siri. Want to start an exercise? Give three taps and you can start running.
Thanks to the new processor, the interactions mentioned above happen practically instant way. As for my personal use, the watch serves to see the iPhone notifications when I'm away from the phone, answer messages and still help me keep the three activity circles complete.
One of the most interesting things about the watch is that even if you don't wear it to be fitness, even so it will help you keep a minimum of movement: whether to stretch your legs a little, breathe after a stressful activity or even motivate you to exercise at least 30 minutes a day.

To save battery, the Watch keeps OLED screen off all the time, unless you lift your wrist or touch the screen. Even with the sun against the clock, thanks to its 1000 nits brightness, it is very easy to see a notification, time or event.
One thing that happens whether playing Pokémon GO or after finishing an exercise is that you can have all the information about that exercise, whether it's the distance walked, calories spent and how your heart rate was.
O Apple Watch Series 3 it also “inaugurates” new sensors, such as the barometer altimeter, which can tell when you are going up or down a ladder, which also helps to include new exercises recognized by Apple in the new watch.
watchOS 4: as easy as that? 5h4363
I confess that this was the first time I used an Apple Watch for so long and, unlike the Mac, iPhone or Apple TV, I didn't find it as simple as how the device works.
First, it is necessary to discover the Watch Face best suited for you. In my case, I preferred for a long time to use the Crab, which features events, schedule, memorable photos, and the music I'm currently listening to. After a month I decided to go ahead and use a more traditional watch, which is called “Utility”, with analog time, temperature, music icon and date.
There are several customizations, although developers cannot create new, only Apple. If you like to exercise, something more minimal or even cuter, like the Toy Story characters, it is possible to find in the Apple clock.
An interesting thing is that you can do all these iPhone customizations. The three essential apps are: Watch, Exercises and Health, to customize the watch, see how you are meeting your goals and how your body is functioning throughout the day.
As I said above, after getting used to the watch, it's a very fluid experience, but during the first few weeks, I ended up getting lost with the digital crown, side button and touch interactions.
For example, I thought that when I double tapped the crown, I would automatically open the preview of the song that was playing, but in fact this function opens the previous app – which happened to always be Apple Music. A tap on the side button is required to open the apps screen. With three taps on it, you open the multitasking menu. In some cases, turning the crown is the same as sliding your finger, other times it is not.
In my view, the clock makes it clear that it is made for few interactions. There were minimal times I opened an app other than the exercise app, Pokémon GO or Apple Music, and even those are not opened that often, as the Watch, for me, focuses on the time and notifications.
That is, the clock obviously varies in use from owner to owner. It won't be as simple to get used to as an iPhone, but it's not nerve-racking. After a week, everything is working fine.
too much battery 16sz
With Apple Watch Series 3 I felt like I was sitting in the train window, as I had no problem with the battery – on the contrary. I've read and seen it so many times that previous models barely lasted a full day, or if you used it during the day you'd have to take it out at night to charge, that I was surprised by the Series 3 peacefully lasting two full days.
Even if you wanted to risk it, is it possible to go a third day without charging the watch, putting it in the socket only at night, so you can see that the smartwatch really has an unparalleled energy efficiency. Apple officially talks about 18 hours of autonomy, but two days is not an exaggeration.
That is, if you want to track your movements throughout the day and your sleep at night, you can do that without any problems.
Price and final considerations 6u3310
O Apple Watch Series 3 arrives in Brazil for BRL 2.599 for the 38 mm model and BRL 2.849 for the 42 mm model. And as you may have noticed, the LTE/4G version, which allows you to take the watch anywhere without the iPhone nearby, is not sold in the country, much less works with national operators.
Other very important comments to make about the watch are: this is the first water resistant watch, up to 50 meters, so you can swim or even go into the sea with it, which is no problem at all. Of course, in these cases, it is advisable that you use a silicone bracelet so as not to wear out the leather one. After swimming, just open the watch's control center, press the drop symbol and turn the digital crown to get the water out of the watch. It's pretty cool.
The Control Center also has a "Theater mode" So, better than “Do Not Disturb”, it doesn't matter if you move your arm or look at your watch, the screen won't light up.
One point that Apple does not comment on, but is also not something that will affect the daily use of those who buy the watch, is that it has 8 GB Internal Storage. In other words, the Watch uses this space to store your applications and if you think it's good, it's possible some music lists for when you want to plug your AirPods directly into your Apple smart watch.
As quoted in the article “whether it is worth buying the smart watch from Apple”, the answer is yes – even if you're not an athlete or someone concerned about hitting the gym every day. O Apple Watch Series 3 shows that Apple has been right on how to make a smart watch and thanks to the bracelets, it is more than an electronic device, but a personal object with its own style.
