Despite releasing the Apple Watch Series 2 [1] just one year ago in September 2016, Apple has decided to amp up its game with a new device in the lineup: the Apple Watch Series 3 [2]. However, unlike the previous two models, this Apple Watch finally comes with LTE service. Find out what else Apple revealed about the Apple Watch Series 3 at an event on Sept. 12:

  1. It has cell service: You no longer need your iPhone near you at all times to receive or make calls on the Apple Watch!
  2. It shares the same number as your personal phone: Instead of coming up with a new number and giving it to your friends and family, it'll carry the same one as your personal phone.
  3. It has a new crown color: The crown, instead of matching whatever color your watch is, will be red.
  4. It'll come in the following colors: Gold aluminum, silver aluminum, and space gray, as well as a gray version in ceramic.

  7. A new watchOS: With watchOS 4, out on Sept. 19, the Apple Watch will come with a slew of new features, like smart activity coaching, new Toy Story watch faces, and a new Heart Rate app that can measure your heart rate while it's resting, during a workout, and while it's recovering.
