Apple Watch Series 3 has revolved around cellular LTE connectivity and understandably so. It feels almost futuristic to have an Apple Watch that’s always connected even without Wi-Fi or a paired iPhone nearby. But in my opinion, that’s not the most important feature of the new Apple Watch Series 3. The biggest new feature of the Apple Watch Series 3 is speed. As improved as the Apple Watch Series 2 was with its S2 dual-core processor, it can feel downright pedestrian next to the 70 percent faster dual-core S3 chip nestled inside of the Apple Watch Series 3.
