Who does such animation for Apple? Such class and detailing!
it's so pretty 😭
there's no red dot on those, previous version!!
The best part of this for me is the cellular integration. Now you can stream music, take phone calls, and explore the wonderful world wide web without your iPhone. Although the activity and hearth rate tracking has the potential to make the biggest impact on peoples' lives by detecting health issues sooner. This makes me want to buy an Apple Watch for my grandparents.

haha! let them be healthy and smart without depending on tech (like our generation)
I personally don’t think I can justify the extra monthly cost of the cellular option (whatever that may be)
$10/ month isn't too bad actually.
Apple Watch 3⌚️ Blew my mind. For sure I'm getting one, not 100% sure about iPhone X📱...
What about it stood out to you over the 1 or 2? Was LTE that big of a concern for you? Just curious.
I'm wearing a series 2 right now. The biggest appeal is not having to physically have your phone. 1) Just walking around the house my watch will get out of range 2) Being a beach/pool goer, I wouldn't have to worry about taking my phone out there at all 3) When working out, no reason to awkwardly have a phone bouncing in your pocket
made a good point. cc
Personally, I've walked out the house forgetting my phone more than a few times and when you have small children it's convenient to just keep going.

I think this will end up being the underrated announcement from this keynote. The ability to untether yourself from your iPhone is pretty big.
The feature hasn't been especially revolutionary in other smartwatches.
I don't think other smart watches have as good of an OS as watchOS is on the Apple Watch.
True, except for where it isn't better -- like notifications handling, and Google Assistant is superior to Siri. At any rate, just noting that LTE in a watch isn't an Apple innovation.
I felt that way too, this was the best of all. Specially since I'd been considering getting a Light phone
I didn't say that it was particularly "innovative" - I know plenty of other smart watches have had LTE/cellular connectivity for a while. All I am saying is that it is an impactful development for people who use both an iPhone and an Apple Watch and don't want to be weighed down by carrying their iPhone all the time.
Why did they discontinue apple watch series 2 and still keep the series 1?
because this is basically a series 2 with lte. The series 1 is discounted, and it’s now the budget model.
yeah makes sense
Plus not much of a price difference between the series 2 & 3
Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if it was for margins. The series 2 probably cannot be made cheap enough to get to the $249 price point.
What's up with the red dot on the digital crown for all the LTE versions?!?! Do you think I could take a sharpie and black it out?
i imagine it makes support way easier - press the red button is way easier than saying press the crown, what is the crown? the top swirly button on the side that doesn’t look like a button, etc etc
LTE radio waves always being close to your wrist will cause cancer and other malignant health risks... As if wifi on your wrist was not bad enough.
You got any evidence to back up that claim, doc? Or are you just making that up?
instead of being close to your balls (ie phone in pocket) or close to your ear (when in use)
How is this worse than a phone in your pocket next to your twig and berries?
Hopefully the new Watch is waterproof, or this is a test version.
You can swim with it. So yes, it is waterproof.
I was wondering about number sharing and additional cost for your plan...this article explains it:
yeah sure, you out on a hot date, and your watch yells out that your girlfriend is trying to call you.. yup.. no thank you siri !
If that's the kind of douchebaggery you get up to then Siri is doing the world a great service.
hey, was just saying.. haha..
see i'm not the only one who can joke about it - BWAHAHAHAHA
