More affordable price, great deal on cellular model, Fast performance, Great variety of high-quality watchfaces, Very comfortable to wear, Very accurate heart rate measurements for a smartwatch,
No always-on screen, Still have to charge it every day, Sleep tracking less useful than on rivals, No ECG, no blood oxygen sensor, Does not work with Android phones
At the end of the day, the Apple Watch SE is nothing new. Apple just took the Apple Watch Series 5, cut off the always-on functionality reserving it for the more expensive Series 6, and also did not include an ECG and blood oxygen sensor. The Series 6 als...
Same screen size and resolution as the Series 6, Supports fall detection, heart health notifications, and Emergency SOS, Always-on altimeter for real-time elevation tracking, WatchOS 7 adds a handwashing countdown timer and sleep tracking, Best third-part
No always-on display mode, Lacks ECG and SpO2 sensors
The Apple Watch SE drops the always-on display and a couple of advanced health sensors from the Series 6, but otherwise delivers the same winning app, fitness, and safety features for $120 less...

Affordable balance of features, Excellent battery life, Family Setup could be a game-changer
No always-on display, Advanced health-tracking needs a Series 6 instead
2020 has been the year of the “SE” device. Like the iPhone SE released back in April, the Apple Watch SE distills the experience of Apple's cutting-edge products into something more affordable, without it feeling particularly lacking in the process. Given...
Powerful OS, Responsive performance, Comfortable design, Comprehensive features for the price,
Sleep tracking lags the competition, No always-on display, Summary, The Apple Watch SE packs plenty of modern smartwatch features into a compact, low-profile package. It's not the prettiest watch, and its sleep-tracking reports aren't as insightful as the
For $279, the Apple Watch SE packs more features you'd expect from a modern smartwatch than the competition. While the Fitbit Sense does offer a ton of health-tracking tools for $329, it's not as good at being a smartwatch as the Watch SE. Though Apple's...

A cheaper Apple Watch, Fall detection and emergency SOS, Compass, health, and fitness tracking, Noise monitoring and Always-on altimeter, Optional LTE connectivity, All-day battery life
Always-on display, ECG and Blood Oxygen apps, Stainless steel or titanium finish, U1 chip
Sleek looking, Offers most of Series 6's key features, Excellent activity monitoring
No always-on display, Expensive, Disappointing battery life
"If you don't know what you're missing with the always-on display and are looking to buy an Apple Watch for the first time, you'll likely find value in what the Apple Watch SE offers"...
Great design, Relatively lightweight, and helped by some nylon on the inside, Solid performance, Has most of the features you might want to use, Comparatively affordable
Battery life isn't amazing, Not super durable
As much as we love the best and brightest in any gadget, the fact of the matter is that's not something everything cares about. There's a reason Apple sells both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, because some people might want a better version of the year'...

The Apple Watch SE is currently in a weird spot. On the one hand, for $80 more than the Series 3, the speed and feature upgrades make it an absolute no-brainer. My original Apple Watch Series 3 is quite slow compared to the SE, and there's no guarantee th...
Abstract: You can expect a fitness tracker to be a bit more resilient than your average smartwatch, able to handle the bumps, shakes, and most importantly, sweat, that comes with a workout. Any fitness tracker worth considering is resistant to moisture and splashe...
Abstract: If you're a serious runner, you need a fitness tracker that can do more than count steps, measure sleep, and vibrate when a push notification appears on your phone. The good news is that many fitness trackers and smartwatches these days can now track your...
