The Apple Watch Series 3 is still one of the best smartwatches on the market, even with Apple releasing the Apple Watch Series 6 recently. Like its successors, you can use the Apple Watch Series 3 to track your every move with the Activity tracker. Feel your smartwatch buzz on your wrist every time you need to stand, move, or stretch and keep your body active daily. You can even wear this Apple Watch during your daily swim and manage your calories while you’re submerged underwater. There’s also in-built GPS tracking so you can take on the longest of hikes or drive around for hours, without ever feeling lost. This smartwatch also does so much more than calorie counting and checking time. You can reply to texts, take calls, monitor your music, check your calendar, and pay for your morning coffee, all straight from your wrist.

There’s also an included feature that allows you to “ping” your iPhone when it’s lost. So if you’re like me and constantly forget where you put your phone down, this feature is a life-saver. Feel free to surf the App Store and download all the compatible apps you want to make full use of your Apple Watch. You can even use the mindfulness app already added to your smartwatch to take a breather when things around you get overwhelming. Also, it’s super easy to interchange your watch bands so if you stock up on a few different colors, you can always make sure your new smartwatch matches your outfit.

The Apple Watch Series 3 is a great, affordable companion if you’re looking for a new smartwatch and this is one of the best Apple Watch deals we’ve seen in a while. Even though the Series 3 is a slightly older version and lack the speedy processor and always-on display of its successors, you can’t go wrong with it. After all, the Apple Watch Series 3 can be your workout trainer, GPS tracker, and even act as your iPhone if need be. What more do you need? Get the Apple Watch Series 3 now for only $169 as part of Amazon’s Prime Day deals, before you miss your chance.
