Apple’s new LTE-enabled cellular smartwatch can do away with the iPhone

The Watch will charge wirelessly like the previous models, but will also work on Apple’s new AirPower charger, which was showcased alongside the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.

It may have been slightly overshadowed by three new iPhones – including the mega-expensive, full-screen iPhone X – but Apple’s other big announcement, the Apple Watch Series 3, looks on the surface to be a significant upgrade for the record-breaking wearable. And it will have the same phone number as a customer´s iPhone, which will still be required for the initial set up of the watch. The iWatch comes in two variations, one with the cellular connectivity worth $399 and the non-cellular connectivity for $329. It is only thicker by 0.25 mm on one portion, which should barely be noticeable. The immediate reaction from the observes watching the event was that in terms of the external appearance there was hardly much to distinguish it from the Series 2 Apple watch.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook said on Tuesday the Apple Watch is the No. 1 Watch globally. The new cellular version of the watch is claimed to run for 18 hours on a single charge. What this means is that you will now be able to have your iPhone’s Sim card basically inside your watch and make calls, access the internet without needing an extra Sim card.

Apple Watch Series 3 now comes in silver, space gray aluminum, and a new gold aluminum color, along with silver or space black stainless steel cases. The 4G LTE variant will be distinguished with a red crown and have an exclusive “explorer” watch face that will show connectivity related data. The Apple Watch has supplanted Rolex as the #1 watch in the world. Matched with the new Watch’s sensors, the system will now alert users if their heart rate seems abnormal when not working out or exercising. Paired with the AirPods, the Apple Watch will be the next best training partner. The Smart Activity coaching app also has new features built exclusively for swimmers.

But what Apple didn’t mention is how you would connect the Apple Watch Series 3 to your carrier of choice.

“I’m usually totally against unnecessary spending on Apple products”, senior Destanie Mathews said.

For one, it tracks your heart rate much more closely. The Apple Watch Nike+ has been updated as well, packing the internals of the Watch Series 3.

Apple’s launched a new version of its Apple watch, with even more high-tech health features, including one that will tell you if you’re having heart problems.
