Jio will open the pre-order for the Apple Watch 3 Cellular starting from Friday, 4th of May at its official website. The Apple Watch 3 will be available for direct purchase on Reliance Digital and Jio stores starting from 11th of May.

That apart, Jio is offering a priority service for the preorders. Not only will the customers get the Watch on a priority basis but the Jio executives will set up the Watch along with the Jio Service.

The main highlight of this variant of Apple Watch Series 3 is the built-in cellular connectivity. The Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) makes use of a unique antenna design that utilizes the display of itself as both a transmitting and receiving element for LTE and UMTS. Furthermore, it uses an inbuilt eSIM, which according to Apple is one hundred times small than a traditional SIM card. What’s more interesting is the fact that the Apple Watch Series 3 shares the same number as on your iPhone. So, you don’t need to provide an additional number of family and colleagues.

To top things up, the all-new Apple Watch Series 3 comes with a faster S3 dual-core processor and a W2 wireless chip for charging. Additionally, it comes with a barometric altimeter. The newly designed W2 chip from Apple is said to make WiFi 85 percent faster and both Bluetooth and WiFi 50% power efficient. Alongside that, the new watchOS 4 brings in a number of neat features to the Apple Watch Series 3. It now comes with an improved heart rate app with a deeper focus on fitness and health of the user.
