For my fast search, yes, but I'll visit apple oficial repair store tomorrow, and will post update here.

Thanks and do update us, so if my original Apple Watch breaks down before the end of the 3rd year, I'll know if I can send it for a Genius Bar appointment.

Still using the original Series 0. Primarily for bike rides so I can monitor, and if needed, safely stop to take a call or text. Watch does a good job overall capturing ride health data (heart rate, etc.). Beyond that I don't use during the week as the default band that came with the 42mm Sport version tends to cause sweat and resultant irritation to build up - even when indoors with AC.

You should give the other bands a try.
The Nike+ band and Sports Loop should solve the problem.

Yes I’m not buying a new one until the use have become what I think it could be. LTE on it is not what I picture so I’ll keep rocking my OG until it’s time

Still currently use mine daily. If they figure out a new design (thinner, possibly round) then I'll think about buying one.

i am still using my original apple watch i passed on series 2 but am kicking around the idea of the series 3 with LTE just not sure if it is worth the price, since mine still works it is slow as hell but works.

Still have mine, series 3 LTE OO Need better battery but have OS4 on it and doing okay-except it only makes the day about 50%. Had decided would upgrade when cellular available. Had not worn a watch for several years but decided to try it and now find it really functions well for my needs/wants-being water resistant, having LTE, much better battery will be a very good upgrade for me.

It’s worth it for sure!
You won’t regret it, it’s a huge upgrade IMO.

Got 2 Apple Watch from eBay, used, 1st gen, testing battery life. Charged 100%, and put plane mode, and both are draining at same time waiting to see how this goes until 20% +-.

3 with LTE just not sure if it is worth the price,

An S3 is almost certainly worth the price for anyone who likes the Apple Watch. I think the big question is— is LTE worth the additional cost and subscription. I think that's the biggest bit to work out.

I went for the LTE (still waiting!) mainly because not having it and wishing I did would bug me more than having it and not using it. LOL!
