their day, Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular allows them to stay

nearby. The third-generation Apple Watch is an amazing health and
fitness companion with intelligent coaching features, water
resistance 50 meters1 and a new barometric altimeter that measures
relative elevation. Apple Watch Series 3 comes in two models, one
with GPS and cellular, and one with GPS, both featuring a 70

“We believe the addition of cellular will transform the way
people use Apple Watch, providing a new sense of freedom since they
can stay connected with or without their iPhone,” said Jeff
Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “Apple Watch Series 3
combined with the power of watchOS 4 is the ultimate device for a
healthy life.”
Soon, the combination of cellular and watchOS® 4 will allow
Apple Music® users to stream 40 million songs right from their
wrist. Beginning Friday, September 15, Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS +
Cellular) will be available to order in 10 countries and
territories, and Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) will be available to
order in 28 countries and territories. Both models are available in
stores starting Friday, September 22.
Advanced Technology
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) features a full LTE and
UMTS cellular radio that switches seamlessly to cellular when it is
away from iPhone. The watch shares the same number as iPhone so
there’s no need to provide an additional number to family, friends
or colleagues; and to help get customers started, participating
carriers are also offering special introductory cellular plans at
launch. Customers have the ability to make cellular calls directly
with Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) and, when paired with
AirPods®, enjoy a seamless and fully wireless experience. Apple
also pioneered an industry-first antenna design that uses the
display itself as both a transmitting and receiving element for LTE
and UMTS, while introducing a built-in eSIM that is over
one-hundredth the size of a traditional SIM card, making
over-the-air activation possible without compromising space.2
Powering Apple Watch Series 3 is the S3, Apple’s
third-generation architecture featuring a faster dual-core
processor, which allows for quicker app launch times and smoother
graphics, and, for the first time, enables Siri® to speak using the
built-in speaker. Apple designed a new custom wireless chip called
W2, making Wi-Fi 85 percent faster and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 50
percent more power efficient, while still providing all-day battery
life and keeping the size virtually the same as before. Apple Watch
Series 3 also features a barometric altimeter that assists with
tracking activity, flights climbed and outdoor workouts, including
elevation gain.
watchOS 4
watchOS 4 features an updated Heart Rate app, giving even more
insight to heart rate, including measurements during resting,
workout, recovery, walking and Breathe sessions. Customers can also
choose to receive a notification when their heart rate is elevated
above a specific threshold while inactive. Other great watchOS 4
features include the proactive Siri watch face that displays the
information users need most throughout the day, an enhanced Workout
app with new interface, custom High Intensity Interval Training
(HIIT) workout type and auto-sets for pool swims. With GymKit™,
users will soon enjoy the ability to connect to their favorite
cardio equipment and experience two-way synchronization of data
with just a tap, resulting in the most accurate information
possible.3
The redesigned Music app experience automatically syncs
playlists like New Music Mix and Favorites Mix, along with the
user’s most listened to music. Later this fall, Apple Watch Series
3 (GPS + Cellular) will stream music, giving users access to any
song from Apple Music, straight from the wrist. The new Radio app
also enables listeners to access Beats 1® live or any Apple Music
radio station while away from iPhone or Wi-Fi.
Apple Watch Line-up
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) starts at $399 (US) and
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) starts at $329 (US), both featuring new
upgrades like a faster dual-core processor and wireless chip, along
with a barometric altimeter. Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular)
also debuts a special red Digital Crown™ and exclusive “Explorer”
watch face that shows cellular connectivity through a unique
design. Series 1 will be available at a new starting price of $249

In addition to silver or space gray aluminum, Apple Watch Series

assortment of new band colors and styles. The Woven Nylon is
updated with a new pattern and the incredibly lightweight Sport
Loop effortlessly adjusts to fit wrists with unparalleled comfort.
Apple Watch Edition expands to include a beautiful dark gray
ceramic case that pairs with a new two-toned Sport Band.
Apple Watch Nike+ has been extremely popular, and this fall, the
partnership continues with both models of Series 3 pairing with a
new pure platinum/black Nike Sport Band or Sport Loop in exclusive
colors. The Nike Run Club app has been updated to introduce
exciting new features: Audio Guided Runs deliver world-class
coaching and motivation from Nike’s elite coaches, athletes and
entertainers, while the Cheers feature makes running more fun by
allowing your friends to send audio-based cheers, which will
motivate you during a run. Just Do It Sundays continues to provide
inspiration and rewards from participation in the world’s largest
running community. Apple Watch Hermès models come with built-in
cellular and pair with a striking collection of new bands,
including the Single Tour Rallye, in perforated Gala calfskin,
inspired by the classic Hermès driving glove, and the Single Tour
Eperon d’Or, in printed Gala calfskin, inspired by the equestrian
scarf pattern designed by Henri d’Origny in 1974. A new watch face,
inspired by the Carrick Hermès watch, also designed by Henri
d’Origny in 1993, completes the existing selection of Hermès watch
faces.
