The time to switch on is also drastically reduced to about 1 & half minutes, compared to the 3+ minutes on older models. Time to startup apps is also reduced, most apps starting almost instantaneously. Earlier on the S2 there was sometimes a certain amount of lag while switching watch faces or while scrolling, and apps sometimes took a while to start, but now there is absolutely zero lag. Apple claims this new processor is up to 70% faster than the S2, and it shows. This is one of my primary reasons for switching to S3. ![]() The S3 also has a new S3 dual-core processor which is much, much faster. Storage capacity remains the same for all models at 8 GB but RAM has gone up to 768 MB from 512 MB (S2 & S1). The charging coil on the Series 3 has also been slightly modified so it now supports Qi wireless charging, earlier models don’t support it and can be charged only with the provided magnetic Apple charger. This finally allows 2 day or even 3 day battery life, which was not possible earlier. Firstly, the battery has been upgraded on 42mm models to 351 mAh from 334 mAh (S2) and 250 mAh (S1). There are a number of incremental updates to the Series 3 which justify an upgrade from Series 1 and 2. This is my only complaint with the Series 3 GPS. Though this does not affect the heart rate reading capabilities (Series 1 also has a composite back), as the sensors are the same, the composite back is more prone to scratches over time compared to the ceramic back. That said, the Series 3 GPS has a composite (plastic) back instead of the superior ceramic back on the Series 2. Since we’re not getting the LTE model of the Series 3 (which feature the red dot on the Digital Crown) in India because of lack of supporting cellular infrastructure, we have the GPS models only. Upgraded to this from a Series 2, so along with this review I thought I’d do a comparison between them for those of you confused about which one to get.įirst off, both the Series 2 and Series 3 are identical, looks wise. S7 with 64-bit dual-core processor, Up to 20 per cent faster than Watch SEĦ4-bit dual core S5 processor, Up to 2x faster than S3 processor Always-On Retina display Nearly 20% more screen area than Apple Watch SE and over 50% more screen area than Series 3
