I have the series 2 sport, which is the same as yours except for better water resistance and onboard GPS. It runs as quickly and has the same storage.
Personally, I'm waiting for the next one before I upgrade. Mine works well enough, and I'm told by other users that the Series 3 is a huge jump over the original Apple Watch, but not so much of one over the series we both have. Since I wouldn't get a huge increase in performance, I'm holding off for now. That said, cellular is one reason to consider an upgrade. If you really need an Apple Watch that can function (mostly) independently of its paired iPhone, the Series 3 is your only option right now. Still, if you can wait, I'm betting there will be good things in the next ones. Even if it's incremental speed and performance improvements, those changes will be all the more worth it coming from our Watches compared to upgrading now, then upgrading again. Finally, I can't see much need for the stainless steel. The screen might be harder to scratch, but I've never scratched my screen. The unit feels a bit more substantial on the wrist, but I like the weight of mine. The casing is harder, but I've had no impact problems with my aluminum casing. I may well be missing something, but I've never really seen the incentive to spring for the stainless steel. -- Alex Hall > On Mar 24, 2018, at 19:59, Sarai Bucciarelli <sarai.bucciare...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi all: > > While waiting for my iPhone to have the battery replaced, I looked at the > Apple watches.
