I swapped out the newest Apple Watch for a cheaper model that's more than 2 years old — and there's only one thing I missed about it
But the company still sells the Apple Watch Series 3, which it released in 2017, for $200. The now two-year-old Apple Watch lacks some of the newer features found on the Series 5, like its always-on screen, larger display, and more sophisticated heart-rate monitor. However, it runs on the same software as the Series 5 and provides much of the same functionality otherwise. may not have all the bells and whistles of the Series 5.
Since the Apple Watch Series 3 is two generations behind the Series 5, it lacks many of the technologies Apple has introduced in recent years.Although the Series 5 and Series 3 share many features, there are also several differences between the two when it comes to their design, display, and health-oriented features.
The Series 5 also has an electrical heart-rate sensor, another feature that initially appeared on the Series 4. That means the Series 5 is capable of taking an electrocardiogram to help identify irregular heart rhythms. The Series 3 has an optical heart rate sensor, which can measure your heart rate but cannot take an electrocardiogram.
And lastly, the Series 5 runs on a faster processor that Apple claims is twice as fast as the one that powers the S3. Business Insider/Lisa Eadicicco Of all the features that the Series 3 lacks in comparison to the Series 5, it's the Series 5's larger, always-on display that's the most helpful when it comes to improving the way the Apple Watch handles these daily tasks.
The Apple Watch Series 5 is also just nicer to look at since there's always something being displayed on its screen. No matter which watch face you're using, it's bound to be more aesthetically pleasing than a plain black screen.
