Apple Watch Series 3 42mm Aluminum Case with Sport Band

Advantages: 1) Ergonomics. I simply don’t want to take off the watch. I want to sleep, eat, work, walk, run, ride a bike, etc. in them. 2) Convenience of working with an iPhone. Everything is instantly displayed on the screen, there is no need to take out the phone. 3) Calls. No need to run at home to another room, headlong, hearing the call. It is also very convenient to talk while driving without a headset. 4) Applications. The phone has almost everything. Mail, weather, messages, activity, phone. It's not just a smartwatch. This is practically an alternative to the telephone. 5) Apple Pay. Paying has become even more convenient, now you don't even need to get your phone. 6) Camera control. An insignificant but very handy thing. You can put the phone on, and display the image from the camera on the clock. You can always take a group photo as a whole. 7) Working time. With active use, the watch is kept for at least two days. 8) Alarm clock. Gently wakes you up with vibration, while allowing your neighbor to sleep further. 9) Search for the phone from the watch even when the "do not disturb" mode is on.

Disadvantages: 1) Software. Some applications do not work correctly. It feels like watch apps are made on a leftover basis. But this is a cant of developers, not an apple. 2) High expectations. Having received such a product, I want the watch to replace the phone. But, unfortunately, it's still a watch. It is impossible to make a full-fledged keyboard and full-fledged applications in them. And I really want to.

Comment: I used to think that the watch was an unnecessary gadget and that I would never buy it. In the end, it all started with the fact that I began to walk and ride a bike a lot. Tired of taking out the phone, and thinking about purchasing an apple watch. I'm not overjoyed now. Do you need this watch? I would buy if you feel the need. For example, if you are tired of constantly removing / taking out your phone. If you do not feel the needs, then they will most likely be lying around in your nightstand. The watch turned out to be useful to me, tk. I walk to work or ride my bike while listening to books. Often you have to adjust the volume, rewind, etc. If you feel that the watch will make life easier, feel free to buy.

Advantages: I'll tell you why I personally bought the watch. Firstly, I swim a lot (I do an hour or two every day) and initially I was rather upset by the lack of smart watches on the market that would be 1. completely waterproof 2. not just be protected from water, but have a swimming mode 3. analyze the style swims, speed, number of strokes, distance that I swam 4. measure the heart rate in a constant mode during the swim itself (in which Apple Watch is practically the only one on the Russian market). The watch copes with all these functions with a bang! As far as I know, only the harmine can measure the pulse while swimming, but it is extremely bulky and masculine and costs much more than the Apple Watch. For swimming, I use the stock training application (before that I used the free version of SwimPro, but I saw that everything is much more convenient and simpler in the native application (unless, of course, you are a professional swimmer) .Of other positive qualities - the pedometer is very accurate, it does not count hand waves The heart rate monitor is amazing !! I specifically compared it with medical professional equipment - Apple Watch is at its best! In general, a very useful function for people with heart problems - heart rate tracking is constant in different modes - when walking, while sleeping, at rest, during exercise. Also, the watch will let you know if your heart rate at rest exceeds the norm of 120 beats / min.Design and bracelets are an excellent function to change the style of the watch, gender, mood, and just when the strap gets bored. searching for new beautiful straps))) A stunning interesting system Activity is a non-standard solution of Apple, where they approached fitness beautifully and wisely ... This is not a stupid pedometer - it has walked 10,000 steps and done well. The watch will distinguish between your total calories burned and active ones - the latter in the event that you burned them out through active training or exercise)

Disadvantages: I can’t think of anything, except perhaps I would like more work from one charge. Despite the fact that I use my Apple Watch very actively - notifications, I read messages on them, I answer, I constantly monitor my heart rate, I exercise for 2 hours a day, I track my sleep, now they hold a charge for about 45-50 hours. Although, in this case, there is not much to compare with either, the Samsung Gear S3 familiar with his has the same duration of work. I am also extremely worried about the display - but maybe this is my personal paranoia. It seems that an extra wave of the hand or an accidental collision with a wall will smash the screen to smithereens. As a result of paranoia, I ordered a watch case from aliexpress for 100 rubles ...

Comment: Glad to buy insanely. A bunch of functions for fitness and a healthy lifestyle, a huge number of available and useful applications, a convenient design of both the watch itself and applications for it for the iPhone, in general - beauty. I mostly wrote about swimming here, because for me this is the main function of the watch (which I am delighted with), and other chips can be found in other reviews and reviews on the Apple Watch, of which there are plenty of them on the Internet. If you have any questions, please contact :)

Advantages: -This is Apple, which means ease of setup and use, everything is thought out to the smallest detail; -The battery lasts up to 3 days (which means exactly 72 hours, not light days), with active use (workouts, etc.) - 2 days or 48 hours; -Ability to use in the pool and open water, full water resistance; -Excellent, bright display; -Fast processor - no lags and delays, high-speed performance; -Ability to listen to music through blue-toothed headphones from the watch; -Built-in memory of 8 GB (in HOURS!) For apps and music.

Disadvantages: -Not found

Comment: I will try to help all potential buyers with my review. I myself adore Apple technology and in the arsenal there are almost ALL devices that this brand makes. I had doubts about the clock for a long time, starting with the first model, then the second appeared, and when I finally matured, I decided to take the third! I matured in mid-September 2017, ordered a watch on apple.com through a reseller in the United States, received it on October 17, 2017. Now no Sport! Just Apple Watch, aluminum case, sport band. For me, this is not just a watch - I am generally an adherent of a healthy lifestyle, but in May of this year I was completely "blown away", and I hit a healthy lifestyle with my head. Since May, I've been using the Lifesum app, into which you can add breakfast-lunch-dinner, and it will count the number of calories you ate for you. Also, this application is able to take into account your workouts, only if before I also scored them manually, now, the application itself takes data from my Apple Watch - how much, what and when I burned. This is very cool and important for me. The watch has amazing accuracy in measuring distance, whether it's running or walking, or even running on a treadmill in the gym! Very accurate measurement of the pulse, everything is shown very reliably. The range is very steep. The phone can lie on a charge in another room, or even on another floor - the watch will not lose the signal and will notify you of any call-message-notification. Even cooler! I have a private house, and I leave my iPhone inside, and I myself poke around in the street - they work! I never thought I'd be on the phone in HOURS. Before, I would twist my finger at my temple if I was told that it is convenient. Yes, damn it, convenient! When you left your phone in the car, and you yourself are spinning around it on the street, you are waiting for your girlfriend. The bell rings, and you only need to answer - you have arrived, come out! Irreplaceable! And the call quality is excellent! All in all, my exclusive advice and opinion is cool! And intimidation with a weak battery is gone! Two or three days, that's enough!

Advantages: Quality and performance like an iPhone; Almost invisible on the hand; Everything is perfectly readable in the sun; They look stylish, under certain conditions, I mean what you dress in, although, now I’m undercoating - probably only the "military" style will not go here)); It is possible to set it up for wearing on the right hand, up to which side it is more convenient for you to turn the wheel; As it turned out, it is very convenient to talk on them in winter, when the phone is somewhere deep under outerwear, or in a bag; All and sundry have already written about paying with them; As for on-screen notifications - you don't always want to be read by strangers - this feature is disabled, so everything is fine. A cool feature is the control of the phone camera from the watch: for example, you can put it in your breast pocket and take pictures discreetly based on the image on the watch. Of course, I didn't do that, but you can)))

Disadvantages: Of the minuses, honestly - it enrages that I wear them without taking them off! I have a large collection of watches, but for 3 months I have not worn any other than this one! The only thing I take off when I swim is only because then it dries for a long time under the strap and is unpleasant.

Comment: Until I bought it, I was always interested in the question - can they somehow be useful in the gym. They have an application for doing sports, but this is apart from running, cycling, walking and swimming, so who cares: if you go to the gym not to glamor, but to pull pieces of iron - these applications won't help you! I found one program on the phone, which is more or less duplicated on the Apple Watch, so with it you can put the phone away and mark only on the watch.

Advantages: Of course, the convenience of the ecosystem of devices of this brand. Ease of use. Style. I love the possibility of changing straps and protective watch cases.

Disadvantages: Battery life.

Comment: For myself, I realized only with their purchase that, in principle, I can even without them. This is a modern gadget that will help with notifications and quick responses when your hands are busy. But you shouldn't expect anything more from them. It is convenient to watch the weather, use the alarm clock, talk on the speakerphone. The rest is possible without them. But I, as a fan of the brand, of course wanted this missing gadget for myself.

Advantages: 1. Remove the skip call / message alarm. It is especially important when I went out to pour coffee for a second and it was at this moment ... As I read in one review and completely agree: "The Internet is with me, but it does not interfere with my life." 2. The need to get the phone has decreased at times falls less (my illness ...) or lies quietly on the charge or .. 3. I have enough batteries for 2 days. 4. The first need for a watch arose to control the music while dancing. Fully justified. 5. But these applications motivate "breathing". "activity" etc ... even me)

Disadvantages: No language switching. I will describe for understanding: I corresponded on my phone in WhatsApp in English, went to the kitchen, a message came, I want to answer in Russian h / w hours, but it was not there ... I found it! or added this function)) problem solved anyway!

Comment:

Advantages: + Synchronization with the phone (appointments, reminders, instant messengers, calls, music player, native navigator, photo reports from holidays) + Charges for 1-2 days, wireless charging + Decent pre-installed screensavers + If you sleep with them, then a good alarm clock + Not annoying tactile notifications (unique for each type) if they are optimally configured so that everything important is transmitted in a silent mode and not distracted every minute + Speakerphone: use case - the phone is charging in another room or somewhere far away in your pocket - you can take a call on the watch - you can hear it normally (the same pleasantly surprised on a MacBook) + Motivate for walks, at first a pleasant feeling from closed circles + Contactless payment, as on the phone + The ability to store a small playlist directly on the watch and connect headphones via Bluetooth (if someone loves jogging so as not to take the phone with them - db is convenient) + Never hung / lagged in half a year + Comfortably sit on the hand, pleasant to the touch default p bag with convenient size adjustment

Disadvantages: - High cost of original accessories (interesting straps from 5k to over900000). Aliexpress did not look, there is something there, but somehow I am not fond of it. - When they are dressed at work (PC work) - steps and distance are counted when you sit still. It turns out about 8 km per day, while in reality I walk about 5. (If you shoot, they think it seems normal) Also, it is not clear how the floors passed are counted, usually about 15 km per day, although in real life there is no such thing - Few useful applications in the app store , really useful ones come out of the box - The screen was quickly scratched (rather, my carelessness) - Attachment to the Apple ecosystem, it will be difficult to switch to Android if you want to - The lack of a version with a SIM card in Russia - The customization of screensavers and screens is too small. At first, Timelapse was impressive, then somehow it was not very much. the choice is small.

Comment: One of the pleasant impressions a few months after the purchase: We went on vacation, took some good photos. After some time, some of them were loaded on the watch, a small album was made and displayed in notifications. It seems that I am not fond of photographs at all, but it looked really cool :) Not many things can somehow pleasantly surprise with a trifle after a time after purchase.

Advantages: a lot of information is recorded in the background while you are doing business

Disadvantages: as it turned out, they are quite large in size and constantly cling to something

Comment: the main purpose for which this watch is taken is to monitor your daily routine and health. They do it perfectly well. Until that, for 20 years I had not worn a watch at all, and to me they still seem huge and constantly hurt for something. But this is apparently out of habit. The charge lasts three days. The function with breathing exercises is generally gone, I don't even know how I used to live without it. Keeping track of your activity and stimulating it is also very cool. In general, they cost their money

Advantages: Autonomy, vibration feedback, sound, screen (brightness, color), interface, customization (replaceable straps), operating speed, heart rate monitor.

Disadvantages: Constant fear of breaking (although not even scratches appeared in a couple of months).

Comment: A great addition to the iPhone. This is how I would describe this watch briefly. This is a very individual accessory that can be customized for yourself: straps, dials (watchfaces), notifications. You can live without them, this is absolutely not a must hafe, but if you buy them, it will be difficult to refuse, they make life easier. We live in a digital world where notifications are pouring in from everywhere. It annoys me very much when the sound of the message comes to the computer, tablet and phone. Now all this can be configured once and will come to the watch, with a pleasant vibration and sound. I only set up notifications from important sources, and nothing distracts you. In many applications, it is possible to immediately reply to a message with a voice, both an audio message and a dictation. The dictation works just fine! It's completely different on the phone, he understands everything the first time and does not need to be corrected, very convenient! I use it when I'm on the street and I don't want to take out a huge 7+ paw. I also want to tell you that it has become more convenient in a compartment with AirPods to answer calls and listen to music. Everything can be done from the watch, the phone began to live longer, I almost never get it out of my pocket / bag. Also, when riding a bicycle, as a navigator, it is difficult to use them, since apple maps cannot really go to Belarus yet, they are often mistaken, but I think this is all over time. But to answer the call on the move, great! By the way, I don't recommend listening to music in motion, I think it's not worth explaining why :) Here they showed the 4th version of the clock, and I will honestly say that there is no desire to change. Their design is good, the autonomy is 2-3 days in my scenario of use, the speed is more than enough (much faster than 2 versions). Of the minuses, I can say this is a constant fear of breaking, but for almost 6 months, not even a scratch appeared) But fear is fear.

Advantages: - good screen - speed of work - stylish design - a lot of straps on aliexpress - apple pay - voice typing - you can talk on the clock - wireless charging

Disadvantages: - the number of dials just kills (in comparison with samsung gear, especially) - very few applications from third-party developers, well, very few

Comment: For me personally, the only and most weighty argument to spend 30k on this watch was apple pay. This is an unrealistically convenient way to pay for anything, provided that the dear reader is not from some village or village, then this function is almost completely useless. No need to look for a card, take it out, dial a pin code, etc. I pressed the button, put my watch to the terminal and went. It's damn convenient! After that, you look at people with maps as if they were natives :) Sometimes it is convenient to answerto call after hours when hands are busy. Voice typing pleased me. Sometimes it is necessary to literally answer two or three words, it is much more convenient to dictate it than to climb into your pocket for a mobile phone. Much has already been said about fitness functions - they are there, they work as they should. A bunch of straps on alika for ridiculous money will allow you to change your style almost every day. With this watch, you start using the phone much less often because all notifications come to them. Most of all I was afraid that I would be disappointed in them in a month (there were cheap options for smartwatches, they were idle) and would waste money. As a result, the gadget turned out to be extremely useful. We would add a little more customization, the price would not be there.
