The Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum presented a stylish and affordable option to experience the core functionalities introduced in Series 3. Here’s a closer look at its specifications:

 

Display:

The Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum featured a Retina OLED display, likely available in 38mm and 42mm sizes. While the exact resolution remains unconfirmed, it likely fell around 302 x 390 pixels depending on the size. This display offered good readability but lacked features like pressure touch or the always-on mode found in later Apple Watch models. The aluminum case provided a lightweight and comfortable design.

Battery:

Similar to other Series 3 models, the Aluminum version offered a claimed battery life of up to 18 hours on a single charge with typical usage. This is a respectable battery life that should have comfortably lasted through most users’ days. However, heavy users of cellular connectivity or GPS features might have needed to charge it more frequently. The aluminum case shouldn’t significantly impact battery life compared to other materials.

Storage:

The Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum came in two storage options: 8GB and 16GB. While storage capacities appear limited compared to modern wearables, it provided enough space for essential apps, workout data, music playlists, and podcasts at the time of launch.

Software:

The Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum launched with watchOS 4 and likely received updates up to watchOS 6 or 7 depending on the purchase year. It offered basic fitness tracking functionalities like step counting, calorie tracking, and workouts. It also displayed notifications, allowed music playback control, and provided core functionalities like the Activity app. Important to note, features like ECG or fall detection introduced in later models were not available in Series 3.

Connectivity:

The Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum was a significant upgrade for connectivity, coming in cellular and GPS-only models. The cellular option, a major selling point at the time, allowed users to stay connected and receive calls and texts even without their iPhone nearby. Both models supported Wi-Fi connectivity for software updates, app downloads, and music streaming.

Memory:

Apple doesn’t disclose the specific RAM capacity for any Apple Watch model. However, benchmarks and leaks suggest the Series 3 had a bump in RAM compared to Series 2. This ensured adequate performance for running essential apps, basic fitness tracking, and navigating the watchOS interface. Choosing the aluminum case didn’t affect the watch’s processing power.

 

The Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum provided a balance between affordability, style, and core functionalities. The cellular connectivity was a game-changer for users who wanted to stay connected without their phone. However, for those seeking the latest features and performance, a newer Apple Watch model might be a better choice in 2024.
