Review on Renewed Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular, 38MM Silver Aluminum Case with White Sport Band by Mateusz Swierczynski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

About hours: I advise you to take the 42mm version, even on thin hands it looks good, not bulky. At 38mm, applications will look too small. If you find a Nike version for the same price, you can take them, there will be 1 more unique watch face. About watch apps: Since I'm an iOS app developer, I took hours to do something interesting and useful for them. But it turned out to be not so simple, the watchOS operating system is greatly reduced in functionality compared to iOS, this is one of the reasons why there are so few applications for watches. With the release of watchOS 6, it got a little better, so we still managed to do something. 1. Keyboard on watch to send messages via iMessage (SlideBoard) (supports multiple languages). So far, only 1 type of keyboard, plans to make t9 and input type Scribble only in 2022. 2. Client for FBontakte (vMsg) - supports viewing dialogs, chats, downloading message history, replying to messages, listening and recording voice messages, message templates, and there is also a built-in keyboard above. There is also a view of news, comments to them, and the ability to write a comment. 3. An entertainment application (live wallpaper on the watch face) (Animate Watch Face Effects). - Due to technical limitations - 2 seconds long at 24 frames per second. And only on one type of dial. Maybe someone will be useful. I’ll write right away that applications are clients for WhatsApp, Instagram - unfortunately it won’t work, since they have a closed API. There are also plans for the idea of ​​​​an application for dropping music to the watch via . Disk, to simplify music management on the watch, but I don’t know yet whether it’s realistic to do it, I need to figure it out.

Pros
  • - Apple Pay - no need to carry your phone/card around for shopping - The bright OLED screen is perfectly visible even in the sun. You can also use it as a flashlight. - Stylish design and many accessories for every taste. - Powerful processor, nothing slows down, applications load quickly. - Fast charging, wireless charging. - In passive mode, tracks steps, calories, physical activity and inactivity, heart rate, etc. Reminds you to warm up if you sit for a long time. - Handoff, duplicating notifications from the phone, sms. You can receive a call from the watch. + Automatic unlocking of your MacBook if the watch is nearby and is worn on the wrist. - Loud speaker, you can listen to voice without problems. - 8GB for a watch is quite ok, some of them are occupied by the operating system and default applications. Who needs more - see 4 or 5 series.
Cons
  • - The battery lasts for 2 days even with light usage. But it makes up for it with fairly fast charging speeds. - There are very few useful applications - Often tutu installation of applications on the watch - It's crap to send music to your watch, this is done only through Apple Music. If there is a subscription, then you can throw it on the watch right away, if not, you will have to tinker with itunes to upload music to your phone, and then to the watch.
