Will my Apple Watch Series 3 be compatible with the new solo loop braided bands?

According to their website, yes.

You can match most bands with any Apple Watch Series 3 or newer case of the same size. (For Apple Watch Series 3, the 40mm band works with the 38mm case; the 44mm band works with the 42mm case.)

I'd recommend that you try out the size of the solo loops in stores. People had quite the trouble during release.

I thought it was a yes at first too, until I read further down where it states that the solo loop and braided solo loop is only compatible with the series 4 or newer, so on one screen message it contradicts itself completely, very disappointed that I would have to upgrade my watch for the newer bands, complete money grab for the same device with a new name...
