Watch Series 3 38 mm

This A1889 Apple Watch Series 3 Edition (38 mm) is the international version, with LTE/UMTS support for Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and the UK. The Edition models feature a premium and durable ceramic housing. This 38 mm variant has a 272x340 OLED display covered by sapphire crystal. It was available in two configurations: a white ceramic case with a Soft White/Pebble Sport Band, or a gray ceramic case with a Gray/Black Sport Band. As a premium Series 3 model, it includes GPS, GLONASS, a barometric altimeter, and cellular capability, enabling internet use without an iPhone. Cellular models feature a distinctive red dot on the Digital Crown. Battery life is rated for up to 18 hours, though this decreases with LTE usage.

The international ceramic Edition gained recognition for demonstrating Apple's commitment to following traditional Swiss watchmaking material trends, with reviewers noting how conservative luxury brands were simultaneously embracing ceramic in their high-end timepieces. Users appreciated how the white ceramic offered exceptional versatility in band combinations, working well with both sporty and formal accessories in ways that aluminum and steel finishes couldn't match. The space gray ceramic variant was particularly praised for its understated stealth appearance that provided the same material benefits without the flashy presence of the white model.
