It takes a while to get going, especially if you're restoring from a backup of an older Watch, but once it's ready you're good to go. There you answer some questions about your preferences, set the passcode, establish some fitness goals and you're off. Hold it close to your phone and it'll instantly begin pairing, using the camera to start the connection. The Apple Watch 3, like its wearable siblings, is a cinch to set up.

In terms of the design, it's never really changed in terms of the way an Apple Watch looks - the Digital Crown on the side doesn't have the pleasant haptic feedback that newer watches have, but other than that it's just a bit smaller than newer models. You need to flick your wrist in an exaggerated fashion with the Watch 3 to see the time, which is irksome (although, you will get used to the motion quickly).
The Apple Watch 3 also lacks the always-on display, which will go dim when you lower your wrist, but still shows the time and some information. Sure, it's not the brightest or largest, but it's always visible outside and when raising the wrist. It's not as bright as newer watches either, but we can't say we really struggled with seeing what was on it at all in this modern-day retest. Given the casing hasn't altered that much in size (the Watch 7 is now available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, compared to the 38mm and 42m options of the Watch 3) the reduction in bezel is stellar, and with the Watch 3 you've got so much less space to poke at.
The biggest change is the bezels - they look super chunky on the Watch 3, coming in over 4mm compared to the 1mm off the Watch 7. But now, compared to the Watch 7 or Watch SE (which are also on sale) it looks tiny in comparison. Bright and vivid, the OLED technology shone through. Back in 2017, we thought the Apple Watch 3 had a great display.
