It\u2019s been five years since Apple debuted the Series 3<\/a>, and at WWDC 2022, it effectively laid the smartwatch to rest. watchOS 9 will not support the Series 3, and that likely means the Apple Watch SE will officially take over as Apple\u2019s budget smartwatch. <\/p>\n

The Series 3 introduced cellular calling when it launched in 2017, and at the time, it was a great smartwatch. (Though, the battery life could\u2019ve been a bit better.) While Apple continued to support the watch over the years, it became increasingly clear that the Series 3\u2019s days were numbered. Since the release of watchOS 7 in 2020, many users have reported the Series 3 struggles to update<\/a> to new software. And watchOS 9<\/a> introduced a lot<\/em> of new health and fitness features. <\/p>\n

When the Apple Watch SE<\/a> launched in 2020 alongside the Series 6, it muddied the waters with regard to which watch was truly the budget option. That\u2019s because the Series 3 was still an option \u2014 for a heavily discounted price. At the time, the Series 3 was put forward as an entry-level watch, while the SE was for folks looking for the next level up without having to shell out for a flagship. <\/p>\n

That… wasn\u2019t a great idea. Even if you managed to upgrade to the latest watchOS, many of the newer features didn\u2019t work as well. Some weren\u2019t even included at all, despite the Series 3 supporting later versions of watchOS. App load times were so slow that it just wasn\u2019t worth it.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Currently, the rumor mill is saying Apple plans to release three new Apple Watches<\/a> this year: the Series 8; a rugged Apple Watch; and an updated version of the SE. It\u2019s almost certain after today\u2019s updates that some kind of rugged watch is on the way as watchOS 9 adds multisport activities for triathletes, more in-depth metrics for running, and several new workout views. But dropping support for the Series 3 gives extra credibility to rumors that we may see a new SE as well. <\/p>\n

Should this all pan out, it\u2019d be a much smarter product lineup than what\u2019s currently available. You\u2019d have a watch that caters to the Garmin or Polar crowd, a watch for folks who prioritize smart features over fitness, and a watch for folks who don\u2019t want to spend too much. This effectively would mean Apple is repositioning SE as its entry-level device instead of its midrange device. That, in turn, could mean the standard Series 8 becomes the new midrange watch while the rugged version takes the premium spot. In essence, the watch lineup would look a lot more like the iPhone lineup.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Series 3 owner, you don\u2019t have<\/em> to upgrade immediately. It\u2019s actually better to wait until later this fall when Apple announces the Series 8. At that time, you can usually find older or refurbished flagships like the Series 4, 5, 6, and 7 at a more palatable price. Or, depending on if we get a new SE with updated features, that could also be a compelling option. But, once again, if you\u2019re thinking about buying a new Series 3 for super cheap \u2014 don\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t matter how \u201cgood\u201d the deal is. It was a bad buy in 2020 and 2021, and it remains a bad idea in 2022. <\/p>\n
