The Apple Watch Series 3 and Series 4 are both rated for immersion in water as deep as 50 meters, but there are a few differences between the two models. The newer Series 4 has an upgraded processor, a bigger display area, fall detection, and an electrical heart sensor that lets you measure your own ECG, which is one of the big new features of the wearable.

Series 3 models lack these features, but you'll still be getting all of the expected health tracking features, the ability to log your workouts, and iPhone-connected benefits, like receiving texts on your wrist. If you're looking to jump into the Apple Watch ecosystem for the first time and don't care about having the newest gadget, Series 3 models are definitely a solid place to start.

I actually did find the series 3 to be a great entry point. Got mine when Wal Mart did their discounting, and got Best Buy to price match and threw in some BB points to get my series 3 42mm for about $200. I've been pleasantly surprised at how much I've enjoyed the little conveniences of the Apple Watch.

I think the S3 will be kept in the Apple lineup and sold alongside the S5 while the S4 gets discontinued..

But hey what do I know.
