The Apple Watch SE is the “better” part of Apple’s new great better-best system for its smartwatches. At $120 not exactly the chief Apple Watch Series 7, however, $80 more than the financial plan Apple Watch Series 3, the Apple Watch SE has a great deal of what you’ll find in the Series 7, yet its lower beginning cost of $279 makes it a smidgen more satisfactory.
So, how does the Apple Watch SE differ from the Apple Watch 3? You get a bigger presentation, global crisis calling, fall identification, commotion observing, and discretionary LTE. Subsequent to wearing the Apple Watch SE for some time, I’ve viewed it as an excellent smartwatch, however, it feels evaluated excessively high for the elements it offers.
On the off chance that you are looking for an Apple Watch, it very well may merit just a little as the Apple Watch SE 2 might be sending off not long from now, with significant redesigns supposed. There’s likewise the Apple Watch 8 on the off chance that you need the very best of what Apple can propose in a smartwatch. Until further notice, however, this is what we think about the ongoing mid-level individual from the Apple Watch line-up.
Cost and accessibility
The Apple Watch SE begins at $279 for the 40mm GPS variant and $309 for the 44mm case. In the event that you need an LTE rendition, the 40mm model beginnings at $329, and the 44mm form is $359. That is just a $50 premium for LTE; in the event that you need the cell choice for the Apple Watch Series 6, it’ll cost you $100 more.
For a more inside and out examination, look at our Apple Watch 6 versus Apple Watch 3 and our Apple Watch 6 versus Apple Watch SE examinations.
Display and Design
No large changes here: The Apple Watch SE’s plan is essentially that of each and every other Apple Watch that preceded. The Apple Watch SE may be accessible with an aluminum case (the Apple Watch 6 is additionally accessible in hardened steel and titanium), yet you will actually want to pick between silver, gold, and space dark completions. Apple sent me the space dark completion, which has a decent, clean look.
The Apple Watch SE has a similar screen and S5 processor as the Apple Watch 5 — which is 30% bigger than that on the Apple Watch 3 — however there’s no consistency in plain view choice with the SE, as there is on the Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch 5.
I realize that Apple is attempting to separate between the SE and the Apple Watch 6, yet the absence of a consistently in plain view, particularly on a gadget that costs more than $250, is a genuine disillusionment. In any case, the Apple Watch SE’s screen was extremely responsive, showing signs of life with a straightforward flick of my wrist.
The 44mm model I tried has a screen goal of 368 x 448 pixels; the more modest 40mm model has a 324 x 394-pixel show. It’s great that Apple offers the SE in two sizes; my significant other took a stab at my survey unit and thought it was excessively huge for her more modest wrists.
Solo Loop
Apple likewise sent along with two or three of its new Solo Loops; these versatile groups miss the mark on the catch, however, stretch to fit around your wrist. As somebody who invests a ton of energy composing, I find that the catch on a conventional watch band presses against my wrist, making it self-conscious to wear while working. The more slender, uniform Solo Loop wiped out this issue totally.
Nonetheless, various buyers definitely dislike Apple’s measuring diagram, which has brought about them getting Solo Loops that were either too large or excessively little for their wrists. Since you can’t just return the Solo Loop — you need to return the entire Apple Watch. I exhort that you buy a customary watch lash until you get an opportunity to evaluate a Solo Loop face to face.
Wellbeing highlights
The Apple Watch has consistently centered more around broad well-being than an unadulterated wellness gadget from any semblance of Garmin and even Fitbit somewhat. Also, that goes on with this new, more affordable model.
The Apple Watch SE has a similar accelerometer, whirligig, and the consistent altimeter as the Series 6. It likewise has fall recognition, commotion checking, crisis SOS, and worldwide crisis calling, things you don’t get on the Apple Watch 3.
Not at all like the lead Apple Watch 6, the Apple Watch SE doesn’t have blood oxygen (SpO2) observing. Taking into account that this component has been around for a really long time on Garmin gadgets — and you can get a SpO2 sensor on the $50 Amazfit Band 5 — this isn’t as original an element as Apple portrays it. Furthermore, the SpO2 sensor on the Apple Watch 6 isn’t FDA-supported, so wearers shouldn’t believe it to be a clinical gadget.
The Apple Watch SE additionally misses the mark on the ECG application that accompanies the Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch 5, which allows you to direct on-the-spot checks of your pulse. Notwithstanding, the SE can screen your heart mood behind the scenes, and alarm you in the event that it sees a sporadic heartbeat.

Smartwatch highlights
Where the Apple Watch SE — and all Apple Watches — succeeds is with smartwatch highlights. Apple has by a long shot the biggest application library of any smartwatch, which makes the SE a genuine expansion of your telephone on your wrist. From the SE, I had some control over my brilliant home gadgets, settle on and get telephone decisions, look into bearings, play music, and considerably more.
In any case, in the event that you have a lot of applications introduced on the Apple Watch, it requires more investment than it ought to find the application you need from the primary application screen. While you can move the application symbols around and assemble them, you can’t sort out them differently.
- A timeless design
- Extensive app library
- Large display
- Responsive
- No continuous display
- Battery life is average.
The Apple Watch has plenty of adjustable watch faces, NFC for versatile installments, and, on the off chance that you buy the LTE model, you can utilize it free of your telephone. Apple’s new Family Setup additionally allows you to set up and deal with an Apple Watch for your kid. You can utilize the watch to put forth wellness objectives, send them recompense cash, and breakpoint highlights when they’re in school. Given the watch has LTE, you can screen where they are, as well. It’s an extremely expensive GPS tracker for youngsters, yet all at once one that is all the more unlimited.
Battery duration
Like the Apple Watch 3 and the Apple Watch 6, the Apple Watch SE has about an 18-hour battery duration, and that implies you’ll re-energize your watch consistently. With regards to playing music and utilizing GPS, the Apple Watch SE has a marginally more limited battery duration than the Apple Watch 6.
The most perceptible contrast is in control time: only an hour and a half for the Apple Watch 6 versus 2.5 hours for the Apple Watch SE to arrive at a full charge. I wound up energizing it consistently, however getting irritated when it slipped my mind and afterward looked down to see I had 10% battery remaining.
Final Thoughts
The Apple Watch SE offers all the same advanced features as its predecessor, but with a more sleek design and lighter weight. It comes in two colors—space gray or silver/white—and has an LCD screen instead of LED technology like previous models did; this means there’s no always-on display option available either!
