For those who dont want to watch the video: There is very little difference. Apply watch 5 is slightly better if you are using it as a heart monitor or as an emergency device for falls.
leo perellis fuck really i want that feature That’s exactly how my iphone was stolen with the first apple watch ⌚️ I wish there was a feature or app that alerts you
Where did you buy it from I’m debating between 4 & 5 . I thought about 3 to then decided not to because I figure updates will stop sooner on that one. I’ll spend a bit more for 3 more years of updates.
My Apple Watch 3 has been awesome. After 2 years I’m still getting 32 hours of battery life. That’s obviously not a full 2 days but on the rare occasion that I forget to charge my watch it at least makes it to around 17:00 on the 2nd day. Apart from some new faces and a heart monitor the series 3 is just as good as my wife’s series 4. I have the cash to buy the 5 but honestly I’m finding it hard to justify it as I mainly use my watch to track my exercise and make sure I never miss a work call. The best thing about the Apple watches is that you could buy the series 3,4 or 5 and be totally satisfied with your purchase.
Always on display would probably be the only reason i would get the series 5. So if i would have to turn it off to save battery i would just stick to my series 3 as long as it still updates the os or dies.
I could understand it being an inconvenience for the elderly if they suffer from carpal tunnel or even a regular person who keeps making that repetitive movement more often than normal, it can cause them to have tendinitis. For me personally though, it was never an issue cause I assumed everyone had to turn their wrist even with a regular watch as well. Maybe the people who are complaining about it have a more straightened wrist compared to my twisted one? Who knows 😂 now I feel like researching
I bought the 3 on Black Friday. For the $130 price at Walmart was well worth it compared to the 4 or 5. I mainly am using it as a fitness tracker and since I am in the Apple Ecosystem it just makes sense for its other provided conveniences it offers.
I got my wife the Series 3 for Christmas this year. She's been using a Fitbit tracker, but she got her first Iphone over a year ago and I thought it would be a good pairing. Watching this, I'm still glad I got her the series 3, because some of the other features wouldn't be things she would use and it's going to be a huge shift from a Fitbit to an Apple Watch, so I think this will make the transition a little easier for her. I'll let you know how it goes :) Great review!
Just two days ago I bought the Apple Watch Series 3 and I am satisfied, in my country the cell version does not work so I have the GPS, the new functions of the Apple Watch Series 5 are really not necessary, excellent video
@@moedem the always on display is not necessary in my opinion. You dont stare your watch all day so just raise it when you need to see the time. Simple!
Do you still think it's worth getting the 3 series over the 5 series since the 5 is still pretty pricey? I honestly can't make my mind up but want to purchase in the next few days. I would appreciate your input, cheers.
I wanted the 3 for the price but the 5’s extra features sold me when I went to check them out at the store. Very first Apple Watch I own, never thought I needed one, and I find myself using it a lot. Happy with my purchase
When you were talking about Siri coming on when you didn’t want it to, I had the same problem. I changed Siri to press Digital Crown, so it’s not annoying. I love the noise app also. Gets very noisy in the plant room at work.
I have a series 2. I track my workouts 5-6 times a week and receive lots of slack and calendar notifications. don't do any outbound communications. Have noticed lately that the watch is slowing down. Also want more complications on my primary watch face. This video was great for a user like me, thank you!
I choose the 5 for the smoother look.. happy so far ..For me being able to play music with pods in work and having messages reach me while having my phone away safe is worth it.. but definitely an expensive bit of kit..
Fran Hughes isn’t that obvious. Every single iPhone and Apple Watch is better then the model it replaced. That’s the whole point of a new model...it’s better.
I think the point of this video is just to justify cost. Since you have the means to get every new one, that doesn’t seem to be something you’d even have to consider.
I’ve never had a watch but there’s sometimes where I can’t pop my phone to view messages or calls, or even look at the stock market and many more. Was thinking about the Series 5. What you guys think?
I got the 3 and it works great. It’s fast no lag . Cool displays you can choose from and colors . You can text fast and easy and call. It’s worth the couple hundred bucks.
Yeah, I still use my apple watch series 3 42mm black + with iPhone XS 256gb 😬 i still love him , i can't leave him , cause many experience with iWatch series 3 If i feel like bored , I search youtube for the videos about Apple Watch series 3 🤸🏻♂️
I had an Apple Watch 2, and wasn’t happy with that. So I bought a Fitbit Versa. It was too big for my small wrist. Now I have the Apple Watch Series 3. I am loving it.
I had a series 2 stainless steel and finally broke the screen. I went in to see what the price to fix was and the guy was generous by quoting me $210 to replace the adhesive and screen. I’m better off upgrading to a more current model
I upgraded a few days ago form the largest series 3 to the largest series 5 and the battery life is very similar. It drains only slightly faster than the 3 but it’s barely noticeable. The 5 still easily lasts a day and can even last me 2. My boss’s series 5 was shocking for battery life and he had to turn off the always-on display. That might be due to some people having a software bug but that seems to be fixed in the upcoming watchOS 6.2. Hope this helps!
I’ve never owned a Apple Watch thinking of getting the three cause it’s on sale, my only question is the three gonna still good for a few years as far as the updates?.
That to , I was about to go for the versa but I’ve heard that it won’t get o phone messages or reply unless it’s an Android. So for that reason I decided on the Apple Watch
Well the S1 and S2 received the latest watchOS which is meant for the S5 and they handle it pretty well. So the S3 should be future proof for a good while
We just got Fitbit Charge 4. I'm not that big on exercise but I use it to monitor sleep. If the battery on the Series 5 won't last overnight, it can't be used for sleep monitoring. Your take on this?
Jim Center Hey. Well for me I actually didn’t get the series 5 because I just bought a new iPhone instead because my phone was having problems. I opted for the Series 3 instead because of its similar features and way cheaper price. I bought it about 2 weeks ago and I love it. I still use my charge 3 tracker for sleep tracking and swim tracking because I don’t want my Apple Watch in the water because it’s more expensive, so I do still use my Fitbit a bit. The Apple Watch is great though for controlling music, playing music, texting etc.
@@zacharyallen4825 Thanks for the answer, I'd planned on waiting til series 6 hoping that battery life would be improved and Apple would have a "native" sleep monitoring app like fitbit. How often do you need to charge your watch? When fitbit advertised the O2 saturation monitoring, I jumped on it cause my wife has O2 saturation issues. I'm happy with fitbit and although my iphone 7+ is getting old, it's still working. I was thinking new iPhone next version and now with the new fitbit I may put off the new watch till series *! Stay safe!
Jim Center For me, I have the 38mm size series 3 gps model and it normally lasts me up to 3 days. I charge it every night anyways when I go to bed ( I Charge everything I own at night everyday) It’s normally at 70% battery by the end of the day so it could last me up to 4 days if I wanted. I normally look at the Watch a bunch of times per day, I do workouts on it, I control music and text people on it etc and the lowest the battery has been after 1 day of use was 65%. So it lasts a very long time
I have the Series 3 Apple Watch with the GPS+Cellular version. But now I am considering to upgrade to Series 5. Which one do you think I should get? the GPS only version or the GPS+Cellular version? Please help me.. Thanks!
Always on display is not a deal breaker, Samsung just release an update to include always on display to the older version, to me is a shame to Apple to think always on display is a dealbreakers. No sleep tracking shame to Apple compass mimic
Excellent video! One I’d definitely recommend watching if you’re unsure whether to spend the extra money on the Series 5. For me personally, I purchased the Series 3 because a) it was cheaper; and b) the only things I really do on the watch are tracking my exercise (through Strava), telling the time and checking notifications. I doubt I’d find myself using the extra features/taking advantage of the faster processor in the Series 5.
Well, I'm a time geek. I really appreciate that Apple watch may be synchronized with atomic clock so it won't let you be late anywhere you want to go. I use my aw5 to check the time, of course, also to check my heart rate. On the the other hand, aw5 is used by me to listening the music or talking with friends via phone using airpods. Never thought I would be able to admire that stuff! 🙂 I prefer 5 to 3 version.
“Apple doesn’t really add much with the new models” *proceeds to list off everything new in the new device for the first couple mins of the video* Alrighty
no idea i have a versa and it’s great but i wasn’t to be able to respond to text messages so I’m gonna get an Apple Watch for day to day but the versa strictly for working out.
So obviously the S5 is better than the S3 but I have a 400$ budget and that’s how much it is so when I go to purchased should I save the extra 200$ and buy the S3 for everyday use?
Does Apple make it available for those of us who wear their watches on the Right arm? e.g. with the knob on it’s left so opposite to usual? I hate wearing a watch on my left, especially as I am left handed and when building items, strike a hammer with my left hand and so it gets a shock effect transferred to my arm/wrist and I’ve found it has broken more than one watch over the years. Be nice to have a choice instead of “this is all we can be bothered with and we can’t be bothered to make a lefty version”.
Lost my cellular 3 I’ve had since launch. Insurance upgraded me to series 5 at no extra cost since they don’t make the stainless steel series 3 anymore. Excited for the upgrade. Probably wouldn’t have bought a series 5 though unless I didn’t have any Apple Watch
Hi there I'm new to your channel and had to leave a comment on this video. I know it may be an older one but I'm upgrading to the 5 and needed to know the difference. This was the MOST thorough video I've seen. Thanks so much because it helped "confirm" my purchase. I'm also now a subscriber. Have a great weekend!
Yeah, if you are content with the 3, stay with it. Like I discussed in the video, there are things that are new, but do you need them? I believe Apple will do something more "Pro-ish" for the MacBook Pro. Maybe that 16" we have been hearing rumors about. I do have to say, I have last years MBP with full specs and it's a beast. I am not sure I would even upgrade as my 4k videos render out pretty fast as it is. Even better with the latest FCPX update that came this week.
for the apple watch series 3, what’s the difference between “gps+cellular” and just a regular one?? does it make a difference? or which one is better? pls lmk! thanks!
Steven La gps+cellular allows you to use your watch as a phone, even if you don’t have your phone with you. You’ll probably need to pay a bit more for your monthly phone plan for it to work though. Not necessary if you intend to always have your phone on you.
Does the I watch 5 have a feature that automatically enables an SOS call or in case of emergency call if it detects a fall? My dad recently passed away and I’m considering purchasing one for my mom now that she’s on her own.
it’s actually terrifyingly accurate, there are multiple videos around and doctors are genuinely worried by the accuracy of it since an ekg can cost around $60 (where i live) and that could potentially cause them to lose money
nigga smooch something is very wrong with American healthcare system, ECG recordings are free in most of the world, it’s a pretty standard test on par with recording blood pressure
@@callmekiki882 you could try explaining the very few differences and point out the pretty large price difference between the two. That way she understands that there isnt much difference between the two watches but yet there is q pretty decent price gap between the two... If it's your own money you are spending than really try for the series 4, if your mom is buying the watch for you and she would rather buy you the 5 , then let her -- at the very least it's a little more future proofed than the 4 and you get a couple extra things like always on display, which can be turned off in setting if you'd like. Either watch is absolutely fine! It's just that the series 4 is basically the same thing as the series 5 for alot less money!
I think the main different is you don’t flip your waist for the display to turn on...? Always on display feature on Series 5....I can live with my 4 Series and just flip my waist! Lol...
PERSONALLY THIS WILL BE MY FIRST APPLE WATCH. AND I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH ILL USE IT. SO I DONT SEE THE POINT OF BUYING A 400-500 DOLLAR WATCH. BUT 150 IS IN FITBIT RANGE
I got the 5 for the extra space. With 32gb I can put all of my audio books and lots of music. Only the GPS version is available in NZ so being able to download lots of content is important to me. I think the series 3 is also a great watch.👍 Good video

Basically
To me, the most compelling feature of the 5 is the always-on watch face.
Still got Apple Watch series 0
my S0 battery swelled up and the face popped off.
Was it on sale?
Is it still usable? Because I have the series 1 and it has gotten so bad with every new Watch Os version.

What has humanity become where tilting your watch becomes a big deal. Everyone acts like it's such an inconvenience
Right? I mean don’t you have to tilt up the watch to see it anyways?! 🤦🏽♀️
Literally what I was thinking
Right series 3 seems fine , just id like the heart monitoring
I could understand it being an inconvenience for the elderly if they suffer from carpal tunnel or even a regular person who keeps making that repetitive movement more often than normal, it can cause them to have tendinitis.

I've had the series 3 for about a year now and it seems to run just as fast as it did out of the box. I'll probably upgrade when the 6 comes out.

Jim Center For me, I have the 38mm size series 3 gps model and it normally lasts me up to 3 days. I charge it every night anyways when I go to bed ( I Charge everything I own at night everyday) It’s normally at 70% battery by the end of the day so it could last me up to 4 days if I wanted. I normally look at the Watch a bunch of times per day, I do workouts on it, I control music and text people on it etc and the lowest the battery has been after 1 day of use was 65%. So it lasts a very long time
@@zacharyallen4825 Thanks for the info!
Does either watch track swimming? Is it really safe for an hour in the water?

I have the Series 3 Apple Watch with the GPS+Cellular version. But now I am considering to upgrade to Series 5. Which one do you think I should get? the GPS only version or the GPS+Cellular version? Please help me.. Thanks!
Purchased yesterday straight to Series 5 44mm, black..
my first Watch.
i love how it counts even my walking 🤣
Still learning it😃
Louie Fajardo No one gives a fuck 😂
i give a fuck :)
It can also calculate the stink level of your farts as well.

Upgrading from series 1 to 3 with a trade in?
Is it a good idea?
"always on display" no less than 8 times in one minute 2:58 3:05 3:07 3:15 3:22 3:25 3:44 3:55
J N why can’t he just say “it” 😂😂
Always on display is not a deal breaker, Samsung just release an update to include always on display to the older version, to me is a shame to Apple to think always on display is a dealbreakers. No sleep tracking shame to Apple compass mimic
This made me laugh hard
I’m new to the Apple watch ...I decided to go with the series 3 38mm and im truly happy with it and I’m enjoying it a lot! Thanks 😊
Excellent video! One I’d definitely recommend watching if you’re unsure whether to spend the extra money on the Series 5. For me personally, I purchased the Series 3 because a) it was cheaper; and b) the only things I really do on the watch are tracking my exercise (through Strava), telling the time and checking notifications. I doubt I’d find myself using the extra features/taking advantage of the faster processor in the Series 5.
Well, I'm a time geek. I really appreciate that Apple watch may be synchronized with atomic clock so it won't let you be late anywhere you want to go. I use my aw5 to check the time, of course, also to check my heart rate. On the the other hand, aw5 is used by me to listening the music or talking with friends via phone using airpods. Never thought I would be able to admire that stuff! 🙂 I prefer 5 to 3 version.
My GShOCK has a green light...pretty cool ..
I have a 3 since 2018. Not impressed with using it for running. Would maybe go back to Fitbit.
“Apple doesn’t really add much with the new models”
*proceeds to list off everything new in the new device for the first couple mins of the video*
Alrighty
Star Raidz lol
Very informative and the best comparison video I’ve watched so far, thanks.
Neither, you buy the series 4 on deep discount.
You talk like the S5 is really better than the S3 (which it is) but not everybody need the S5 new features
I might be getting the Fitbit Versa or Apple Watch 3 for my bday and I have been binging all these videos
no idea i have a versa and it’s great but i wasn’t to be able to respond to text messages so I’m gonna get an Apple Watch for day to day but the versa strictly for working out.
BinWhit96 thx but I can’t decide what I want to get because my parents are getting it for me
no idea the versa 2 and the Apple Watch 3 are the same price
So obviously the S5 is better than the S3 but I have a 400$ budget and that’s how much it is so when I go to purchased should I save the extra 200$ and buy the S3 for everyday use?
Getting the series 3 on Black Friday for $129
for a 38 mm or 42 and 44mm? and what abt the price of a series 4?
Where?
So Cal Crypto Walmart
freddreka williams that’s for the 38 for the 42 it’s 159
Where?
LOVED this review and the videography was amazing! So sharp and well-articulated!
I’m not gonna use all those extra features all I want one is to use it when I’m in class 😂
Same
Do we think the series 3 will fall in value when the series 6 comes out?
I will Go with a 3. because 400 is expansive as F*** for this new tech
Does Apple make it available for those of us who wear their watches on the Right arm? e.g. with the knob on it’s left so opposite to usual? I hate wearing a watch on my left, especially as I am left handed and when building items, strike a hammer with my left hand and so it gets a shock effect transferred to my arm/wrist and I’ve found it has broken more than one watch over the years. Be nice to have a choice instead of “this is all we can be bothered with and we can’t be bothered to make a lefty version”.
2:30 for direct differences ..Thanks me later
It’s later../ thank you
Lost my cellular 3 I’ve had since launch. Insurance upgraded me to series 5 at no extra cost since they don’t make the stainless steel series 3 anymore. Excited for the upgrade. Probably wouldn’t have bought a series 5 though unless I didn’t have any Apple Watch
Hermès and pronounces “Air-Mez”
Nobody cares
Aaron Satko You obviously cared enough to comment.
Cringed when we said “Her-miss”
He said herpes lol
@@aaronsatko3642 the douches who can't afford Hermes and watch series 3 videos do
Hi there I'm new to your channel and had to leave a comment on this video. I know it may be an older one but I'm upgrading to the 5 and needed to know the difference. This was the MOST thorough video I've seen. Thanks so much because it helped "confirm" my purchase. I'm also now a subscriber. Have a great weekend!
I have the three and would consider upgrading to the 5 but $$$. I’m saving for the new MacBook Pro 💻. Any rumors on one yet?
Yeah, if you are content with the 3, stay with it. Like I discussed in the video, there are things that are new, but do you need them? I believe Apple will do something more "Pro-ish" for the MacBook Pro. Maybe that 16" we have been hearing rumors about. I do have to say, I have last years MBP with full specs and it's a beast. I am not sure I would even upgrade as my 4k videos render out pretty fast as it is. Even better with the latest FCPX update that came this week.
Rumor is that it is expensive
for the apple watch series 3, what’s the difference between “gps+cellular” and just a regular one?? does it make a difference? or which one is better? pls lmk! thanks!
Steven La gps+cellular allows you to use your watch as a phone, even if you don’t have your phone with you. You’ll probably need to pay a bit more for your monthly phone plan for it to work though. Not necessary if you intend to always have your phone on you.
I had the series 3 before I loved it but now I’m thinking to just go all out and get the series 5🤷🏻♂️ I also have the apple iPhone XR and AirPods 2
Go for it I think I’ll get the 5 just cause i can re-sell when I’m done with it and it will last longer
Get iPhone 11 Pro Max 512gb
I saw your video, but personally which one do you prefer?
very good comparison! I bought the series 5
Does the I watch 5 have a feature that automatically enables an SOS call or in case of emergency call if it detects a fall? My dad recently passed away and I’m considering purchasing one for my mom now that she’s on her own.
Can you use airpods on series 3?
Yes 1st gen 2nd gen and pro
I just bought an Apple Watch series 3 42 mm just to test the waters and I’m be going love with it I plan on upgrading soon.
Can you tell me more about how the apple watch 5 works as an EKG? How accurate is it? Thanks.
it’s actually terrifyingly accurate, there are multiple videos around and doctors are genuinely worried by the accuracy of it since an ekg can cost around $60 (where i live) and that could potentially cause them to lose money
nigga smooch something is very wrong with American healthcare system, ECG recordings are free in most of the world, it’s a pretty standard test on par with recording blood pressure
Is there anyway to get a series 4 still without getting it refurbished ?
How many people still going to get or keep the 3 series 😂. Thanks for sharing!
Tweet Collins I’m thinking of getting the 3 as well. 😫
A lot of people are still buying the 3
Just one simple question, is there any difference in the look other than size?
..... the actual answer is to get the series 4 - it's about 99% the same thing as the series 5 ... and way cheaper now
Your all very welcome
callofduty60 That why they took it off the market!
@@dbroadna .....yeah it's quite sad they'd still sell the 3 and not the 4...so they can push the 5 on to eveyone....
callofduty60 Yes. I want the Aw4 but my mom said it doesn’t make sense to buy it because ist older...
@@callmekiki882 you could try explaining the very few differences and point out the pretty large price difference between the two. That way she understands that there isnt much difference between the two watches but yet there is q pretty decent price gap between the two...
If it's your own money you are spending than really try for the series 4, if your mom is buying the watch for you and she would rather buy you the 5 , then let her -- at the very least it's a little more future proofed than the 4 and you get a couple extra things like always on display, which can be turned off in setting if you'd like.
Either watch is absolutely fine! It's just that the series 4 is basically the same thing as the series 5 for alot less money!
I think the main different is you don’t flip your waist for the display to turn on...? Always on display feature on Series 5....I can live with my 4 Series and just flip my waist! Lol...
I would like to buy an apple watch for my wife so which one better to buy .. any suggestions
PERSONALLY THIS WILL BE MY FIRST APPLE WATCH. AND I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH ILL USE IT. SO I DONT SEE THE POINT OF BUYING A 400-500 DOLLAR WATCH. BUT 150 IS IN FITBIT RANGE
I got the 5 for the extra space. With 32gb I can put all of my audio books and lots of music. Only the GPS version is available in NZ so being able to download lots of content is important to me. I think the series 3 is also a great watch.👍 Good video
