The Apple Watch Series 3 was released in September 2017 and retains the traditional appearance of previous versions while adding a slew of new functions. Along with advancements like as the speedier S3 CPU and W2 wireless chip, a cellular model was introduced for the first time. Apple currently only offers it with GPS.

This Apple Watch features the same familiar look as the Apple Watch Series 2, with a square Display Curved screen covered by glass crystal in stainless steel and ceramic variants and Ion-X glass in aluminium ones.

The 38-millimetre model has a resolution of 272 x 340 pixels, while the 42-millimetre model has a resolution of 312 x 390 pixels. Both have a brightness of 1,000 brightness.

Is Apple Watch Series 3 too old to update?

Yes, given the documented issues that watchOS 7 caused for Apple Watch Series 3 customers, I fully anticipated watchOS 8 to discontinue support for the final surviving Apple Watch with the old design.
