Off the top of my head and some may be inaccurate

Always on display (not sure why you'd use this, you almost always want more battery life)
2nd generation heart rate
smaller bezel / form factor (this is surprisingly a big diff on newer models)
oxygen sensor for the latest latest one
ECG (you'll rarely if ever use unless you have heart problems or at risk)
fall detection (feel this is for seniors, diabetics or people prone to fainting or alike)
memojis (turn yourself into emoticon and use it as your watch face)
I think something relating to elevation
I assume better battery life overall'
cellular (so you don't have to keep your phone with you, otherwise this doesn't matter as much as long as you're in wifi/bluetooth range)
storage space (which may or may not be relevant in future updates, but Apple typically just removes some unnecessary bloat)
better screen, mostly in the sense of in sunlight.

Mostly gimmicky stuff.

I've had the S3 and I use the S5 now (bought used). Outside of the form factor being nicer on the newer models (less bezel/not as bulky) don't really notice a massive difference on the rest.
For me, time, activity tracker + notifications + receive calls + onboard Siri ("Hey Siri, set timer 3 minutes"). S3 has all that.

11 left at Markham, I checked out one just now. Just go to merchandise pickup and ask for the item code 1285836!

Sold out.

I won't get a w3 atm. Eol pretty soon means it probably won't work on future ios updates. It's almost 4 years old. Get an SE if you don't have budget.

Thanks foe the awesome summary. I’m tempted to spend a little more for the extra screen size on the SE but functionality wise the 3 seems to be the sweet spot.

Why do you say they might have slowed it down?

As far as I know they have only slowed down devices with batteries that need replacement, never on new ones.

I had series 3 and now series 5. I noticed that there’s a massive difference in speed. Screen size ain’t a big factor, but being faster makes it a better buy than series 3. This being said, series 3 ain’t bad for someone who never had an Apple Watch or who doesn’t have high expectations.

I mean, should be ok. I mean what do you REALLY need your watch to do for you anyways, besides tell the time? That being said, is still pretty solid, and should hold up pretty well.

curious, where do you notice the speed difference? And what do you use your apple watch for anyways? I've been holding off on getting one, as I see no benefits, besides more radiation, more money, and more care I have to take, from my usual g-shock.

I have a series 1 that is slow when accessing apps and Siri, but honestly does what I want, which is: gets my notifications to my wrist, and tracks my activity. I don't touch any of the apps. If this is you, then this is probably a really good deal for you. If you want to use a bunch of apps right on the watch, it might be fine but I personally can't say. I've found using apps on the watch is pretty cumbersome and limited.

Maybe I can buy online and do the price adjustment
