Will previous apple watch accessories (i.e. Cases and Screen Protectors) work with the series 3?

I'm getting an Apple Watch Series 3 and was looking to find a screen protector and probably a small case for when I have to work. I know that the previous bands work with the new watch but didn't know if there was anything in the case design that was changed enough to make it unable to fit old cases.

Watch Series 3 (GPS) 42MM

Hi


The back crystal on Apple Watch Series 3 is 0.25mm deeper (equivalent to the depth of 2 sheets of paper) than on Apple Watch Series 2.


Otherwise, the dimensions for Apple Watch Series 3 are unchanged from Apple Watch Series 2.
