But if you happen to run low on battery or if you have kept the brightness low (to save battery), then the display will be difficult to use. Even under direct sunlight, the display is vivid. The display quality of the Apple Watch 3 is one of the best we have seen in smartwatches. Note, that the Series 1 Watch is just splash resistant. The aluminum case of the Watch 3 Cellular continues to offer the Ion-X glass back.īoth the Apple Watch 3 GPS and Cellular edition offer water resistance up to 50 meters. However, there is Sapphire crystal for the stainless steel and ceramic case editions in the Watch 3 Cellular. Until now, all Apple Watch variants offered an aluminum case with Ion-X glass at the back. The only difference in the Watch 3 Cellular is the Red colour dot on the crown. The design is largely similar of all the Apple Watch variants. However, the display resolution of 272x340 (38mm) and 312x390 pixels (42mm) remains the same. However, when compared to the Series 1 Apple Watch, there is a noticeable difference in brightness - 1000 nits in Watch 3 series compared to 450 nits in Series 1. There is no difference in the display quality of the Watch Series 3 Cellular and GPS versions. On the other hand, there is only Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz) and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity in the more affordable Apple Watch 3 GPS. The only difference is that the Watch 3 Cellular offers 4G LTE, UMTS via eSIM along with Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz) and Bluetooth 4.2 in the connectivity department. Both the Apple Watch 3 GPS and Cellular offer the same specifications and features. For those unaware, Apple had launched the Watch 3 GPS in India last year itself at a starting price of Rs 29,900. There’s also the Apple Watch Edition (GPS+Cellular) that starts at Rs 1,18,030 with ceramic case and sport band. The 38mm Apple Watch 3 Cellular costs Rs 39,080 while the bigger 42mm version costs Rs 41,120. The Apple Watch 3 Cellular is available in two sizes - 38mm and 42mm. Having said that there’s, of course, a major change in the Apple Watch 3 Cellular that makes it complete and we are definitely talking about the eSIM revolution. So, if Apple now states that with the Watch 3 Cellular (starting at Rs 39,080) you can do the same things, but now through a new eSIM technology, then the question 'what’s the difference' is quite obvious. The recent launch of the Apple Watch 3 Cellular in India has made many people wonder: What’s really new? This is because people are used to taking voice calls, streaming Apple Music and reading messages on their Apple Watch since the first-generation Watch Series 1 which comes at a starting price of Rs 23,950.
