Is there a reason to buy the Apple Watch Series 3?
Considering the Apple Watch Series 3 is still functional and perfectly capable of the most basic tasks, some users can certainly overlook the discontinued support. Accordingly, if you already own an Apple Watch Series 3, there is no compelling reason to throw it away as long as it still works. However, we see no reason to buy them again in 2023. Rather grab the Apple Watch SE 2022!
