These stickers cover up the Digital Crown red dot on your Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular
The Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular features a unique aesthetic decision, placing a large and noticeable red dot on the Digital Crown, that may not be appealing to all buyers. Thankfully, there are a few decent options for covering it up with a decal.
The red dot on the Apple Watch Series 3 comes on all models with LTE connectivity. That means the more expensive stainless steel and ceramic versions, which cannot be purchased without a cellular radio, come with a red digital crown no matter what.
While some like the unique look of the cellular models, allowing them to stand out from other Apple Watch versions, the red dot decision is not without its critics. For those prospective buyers, AppleInsider is here to help.
The simplest option comes from WatchDots, a company that sells stickers that cover only the Digital Crown and side button. Though they were not created for the Series 3, the design of the Apple Watch has not changed since it first launched in 2015, meaning the decals should fit just fine.
WatchDots come in a variety of colors intended to match various shades of watch bands sold by Apple. None of the colors appear to exactly match the watch casings (there is a black option, but not space gray, for example), but users may find the options preferable to the red dot on the Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular.
Of course, the decals also work in reverse: If you have an older watch, or plan to get a Series 3 without cellular, WatchDots has a red option to mimic the cellular models.
WatchDots come in a set of 3 stickers in the same color for $9.99 each. If you just want to cover the Digital Crown dot, leave the side button sticker unused.
There are a few other options available, such as from SlickWraps, which sells a whole series of stickers that cover not only the Digital Crown and side bar, but also the entire chassis of the Apple Watch. While you may not need that much coverage if you just want to obscure the Digital Crown's red dot, SlickWraps are more affordable at $8.95 per set.
New stickers specifically designed for the Apple Watch Series 3 are currently available to preorder, but SlickWraps has not yet provided a shipping date, as the third-generation watch is slightly thicker than its predecessors. Presumably, stickers for Series 2, 1 and first-generation watches would also fit, if users plan to only use the Digital Crown portion of the decal set.
SlickWraps products come in a number of series, with various textures, each of them in a range of unique colors.
Preorders for the Apple Watch Series 3, both with and without cellular, began early Friday morning, and launch day inventory sold out almost immediately. The first units should may their way to consumers next Friday, Sept. 22.

The Apple Watch Series 3 with the red dot on the digital crown is the GPS + Cellular version. The one without is just the GPS version.

I begin to realise that with cellular you can be away from the phone but the notifications can still come through plus you could reply. However with no cellular you need to always connect via Bluetooth to the phone to get the notifications and replies.

'What does the red dot on an Apple Watch mean?': How to check your unread notifications on an Apple Watch, or turn off the red dot
If you own an Apple Watch, you know how convenient the device can be for keeping you connected, even when you're not paying attention to your iPhone or don't have it directly in front of you.
From importing emails to receiving texts and even voice calls, an Apple Watch can keep you connected to the features and apps you use most on your iPhone, and alert you to important notifications.

What does the red dot on an Apple Watch mean?
You may have noticed a red dot on the top of your Apple Watch — this signifies that you have unread notifications.
It's fairly simple to check these notifications, and remove the red dot so you're all caught up.
Here's how to do it.
How to check notifications on your Apple Watch
1. With your watch face turned on, swipe down from the top of your screen to display the notifications you have received.
2. To read each individual notification, tap them one by one. Note that if you have several notifications, you can scroll through them by using the digital crown on your Apple Watch.
3. To delete the notification, swipe left on your watch and then hit the X key. You can also delete it by scrolling down and tapping on "Dismiss" at the bottom of the screen.
How to turn off the red dot for notifications on your Apple Watch
If you no longer want the red dot to appear whenever you have notifications, you can disable this feature via the Watch app on your iPhone.
Simply tap the Notifications option under My Watch and toggle the Notifications Indicator button to off.
You can re-enable this feature at any time by toggling the button to on, which will turn it green.

Hello,
The "red" on the crown indicates the cellular version which is more expensive. If the one that you have, does not have the red, it is the less expensive GPS version. See this for more detail:

Following on from what MrBill3 said, the only difference between the GPS and the GPS + Cellular version is that you have to pay $10 / month extra to your carrier to allow your watch to make and receive phone calls / messages / use data if your phone isn't within Bluetooth range (usually 50-100 yards/meters).
So unless you are regularly in the habit of saying "darn, I left my phone at home and I want to be able to use Messages, Maps and Apple Pay without having my phone on me (and I'd be happy to pay $10 a month, every month, to be able to do that)" then you've probably made the right decision to have the Apple Watch GPS instead of paying the extra $100 upfront for the Cellular Watch model on top of the $10 monthly extra cost!
