Are you saving up for an Apple Watch Series 3?

[James Falconer]

You saving up for one? Or did you buy a Series 2 (like I did) and are planning on holding off until the Series 4?

Suppose the real question is what Apple introduces in the next one. If the features (and form factor!) offer a lot of good things, I might have to do the upgrade... but from all I've heard so far, am really not sure.

The next gen AW might be an opportunity to grab a Series 2 at a discount too, so that's another angle!!

I've got both money and Ramen put aside for this spring. I've got plastic and I'm not afraid to use it.

So it's either a Series 3 if it rocks my socks or a Nike+ if it doesn't.

I'd like to see them take on Fitbit in the fitness department and release more than one model. In the unlikely event they release a very low profile, lightweight model (something like the charge 2) then sign me up.

 

[James Falconer]

@fourthbase - that's an interesting idea.. but do you think they'd go down that road? I wonder if Apple would even consider purchasing Fitbit?...

 

[James Falconer]

@Mac Guy - you have Ramen put aside?? lol saving on food to purchase the watch? (I do love me some ramen)

I would have to be blown away to buy a 3rd watch in 3 years. I got the series 2 because of the waterproofing (I swim a lot during the spring-summer) and the gps (running/hiking all year).

I've been waiting for Apple to track sleeping not through 3rd party apps. Currently have my Fitbit Charge 2 but this fall maybe time for my Apple Watch.

Same here. I cannot possibly imagine what feature in Watch 3 would make me buy.

Having the 1st gen, I'm thinking the series 3 would be my next one... that would be about 2 years since I got my first one.

Same here. If the Series 3 doesn't wow me, I'll get the Series 2 at a discount

While I like ramen from time to time it's a mild penance for buying another watch that's very similar to my others, that I don't really need, but will get anyway!

My way of taking the edge of conspicuous consumption. I want a Nike+ anyway, so like I said, if the S3 doesn't knock my socks off, it's a Nike+, maybe at a discount.

I just got my first ️ this month. Series 2, so I definitely won't be looking for a new one yet. Maybe next year...

Congrats on the new watch! I'm still enjoying my first generation, so I'm sure you'll get a lot of use from your Series 2!

Thanks. Maybe next year I'll think about the new one.
I do however upgrade my iPhone yearly.

Unless there's a killer feature for you, there's no real reason to do the watch that often. ENJOY!

That's the reason I don't upgrade my phone, or anything, for that matter, on a regular basis.

Right?! That's probably my plan too. This Series 0 is getting long in the tooth LOL.

LOL!! Exactly!!

I honestly am not interested in a new Apple Watch unless the next one brings something that I just can't live without. I'm extremely happy with what I've got.

That's pretty much a common theme in this thread.
