The Apple Watch Series 3 is past its prime — why is it still being sold?

Because it’s cheap and can unlock your iPhone/Mac

Agreed! I'm still using a series 3 and it's functional. I do notice some slowdown, and will get the series 7 sometime after it's released.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the series 7.

I'm definitely looking forward to the upgrade! :D

Have you given any consideration to the color combo?

If people are only using it to keep track of time, receive notifications, make phone calls (if cellular model) and a little bit of fitness then the Series 3 is still very capable and people should buy it, in my opinion.

I'm not sure, but I like the looks of starlight? I want to see them all in person before I decide!

Definitely, I might be interested in the Sierra blue Apple Watch 7, but will wait and make a decision after launch.
