“watchOS 3 went a long way to make the Apple Watch much more user-friendly and Apple-like in its utility. The hardware update finished the job,” deAgonia reports. “If you’re already an iPhone user and in the market for a fitness band, or for a way to filter out digital distractions, this year’s Watch models are worth checking out.
