I have what I believe is a Series 3 that I almost never wear because I just never liked having something on my wrist. Is there anything novel about this model that would change that?

Maybe

I am a Samsung phone user, currently using Note 10+. Looking to buy smart watch, focused on Health and Activities features. Should I stick to Samsung smart watches or Apple Watch is better?

I bought a Samsung watch a few months back through I deal I found here for $70. It is great. Loved it when I had a Galaxy phone. Now I have an iPhone and it isn't as useful. It is heavy though.

You don't like wearing anything on your wrist. Yet, here you are, on a watch thread, asking for advice!? Let me oblige ……

Sure! You could get a smaller band and wear it on your 'Goldmember'. Just remember to enable all notifications and set it to vibrate!

Matches a killer red Durango or Challenger, and still helps those fighting HIV AIDS around the world.

I was asking if there would be any new features that would be worth the minor inconvenience, as it was not with Series 3. Oh and thanks for the advice, the existing band will fit perfectly if I double wrap it!

They must have manufactured lots of these in color RED. It's a last minute off loading of the inventory. Before series 6 becomes obsolete for marketing purposes.

Here are some photos of my Product Red 40MM Series 6 Apple Watch.

With different Amazon screen protectors: I've settled on the now discontinued black Apple nylon sport loop velcro strap. It fits my wrist the best and my wrist does not get wet from the sporting activities I do. I bought it on eBay since I don't like the current Apple black on which has shiny reflective material since it is the Nike activity-oriented nylon band. I wanted to protect the standard Watch glass so decided to get a darker color where the red would pop from the crown and power button on the side.

I've went through multiple screen protectors to change the color.
1. Tauri black matte case: looks very good, but I had some slight peeling but Tauri replaced with a new one after I sent in a photo. I went to blue cases so not sure how long the black matte finish will last.
2. Tauri clear case: looks like like you slapped a clear plastic case on your watch. It looks particularly terrible and unsleek.
3.. YMHML blue matte case: cheaper than Tauri with even worse matte rubber finish rub off after a week. I returned to Amazon.
4. Tauri blue matte case: Tried after YMHML. really liked this until one of the corners had the matte finish rub off slightly. Haven't decided whether to return or keep. Looked better than YMHML even with slight rub off.
5. Misxi blue gloss case: currently trying and one of the ones in the photo. I am hoping the gloss does away with the matte rubbery finish coming off like the Tauri and YMHML.
