The leaks were all true: the Apple Watch 3 (or, technically, the Apple Watch Series 3) builds on the previous iteration by working without the phone anywhere nearby, as well as a faster processor.
The new device isn't a huge upgrade on the previous iteration by any means, but it does come with some useful updates that make it worth checking out – especially if you like to leave your phone at home for whatever reason when you're heading out the door.
We've just got the box into our testing labs - get ready for our full review very soon! But in the mean time, here's a cheeky unboxing for you to enjoy...
The Apple Watch 3 now adds in LTE connectivity, so you'll be able to stay connected on the move, which will make it a better standalone device if you don't fancy lugging a massive handset with you.
The Watch 3 also completely replaces the Watch 2 - you can't by the latter device from Apple, but there is a non-LTE option if you just want the GPS model of the newest Apple Watch.
Update: Apple has published the battery life expectations for the Apple Watch 3 - with an hour of LTE talk time but improved workout-tracking duration, and we've got more info on the pricing to connect the Watch 3 to your phone contract.
