The Apple Watch Series 3 follows last year’s Series 2 by adding cellular connectivity to an already-successful recipe. The Apple Watch is the best smartwatch by a country mile and so it was going to require some effort to improve on the Series 2.

There was no visual difference between the first and second versions of Apple Watch, but Apple has decided there needs to be a visual cue to mark out the cellular version of the Series 3 and so it has painted a red dot on the Digital Crown. Non-cellular versions look exactly like their predecessors.

You pay a perfectly reasonable £70 premium for cellular connectivity; starting at £399 versus £329, though there are stainless steel and Milanese loop versions that take you up to £599 and £699 respectively, and beyond.
