Found a great deal on a series 3. Yes I'm aware this is ancient and Apple has almost released the 7. But I got this for my 13 yr old who just wanted a smart watch. Can't go wrong for the price. For those who may see this out of stock please remember Best Buy and target will price match. Just provide them the web link

Good Deal?

Not worth it really. Better to buy a used SE, 4 or 5 if budget is limited. SE also went as low as $200 and could again and a much better buy.

Series 3 is only partially supported by watchOS 7. Probably less support and ending with watchOS 8. For $100 - $125 maybe. It's been $169 every few weeks for 6 months or more. Best Buy had the Nike version for a few minutes about 6 months ago for $100.

Yeah I can't believe they're still producing such an outdated model.

I love that yesterday's most amazing gotta have I'm going to wet myself so excited new item is now today's trash.

In the near future Teslas will be as cool as a Prius. The kid is 13. Slamming his/her watch is just setting them up for therapy and meds. I work with teens and I know.

I love when people think they are clever. The 3 is worthless. You have to wipe it 2 times every time there is an update now, because it doesn't have enough memory to download the update while signed in.

You sound like a tool. The storage is outdated for the updates, and yes updates are important because they contain security patches. Please go back under your rock and cry to yourself. Technology changes rapidly.

OP had already purchased it. They seemed pretty happy and wanted to share the deal. For their needs it was a perfect fit. Sometimes and even often the older tech is just what people need and just what they can afford.

Curious who had the SE for $200? Not trying to be a jerk, actually want to know. I need a replacement for my Series 1 and also don't want to spend $160 on such an old series 3. SE seems perfect for me, bigger screen than I have now without the advanced updates of the 6 or 7 that I probably won't use.

The new IOS updates are so huge and the storage on the 3 series is so small that you cannot update the series 3 anymore unless you uninstall and delete everything on your watch and then install the new iOS . Even that might not work anymore. I stopped bothering with all of that months ago. So bottom line is this works for basic things like being a running watch and it will notify you if you get a text on your iPhone but it can't do any of the new things that the series 5 and above will do.
