Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE

The Apple Watch SE 2 is best described as “simple, cheap, and brilliant” as our review explained. While the lack of an always-on screen may be disappointing to some people, it offers many of the benefits you’d get from a much more expensive Apple Watch. That easily makes it one of the best smartwatches for anyone who’s trying to keep costs down but wants something great to pair with their iPhone.

It’s 20% faster than the previous Apple Watch SE with our breakdown of the differences between the Apple Watch SE 2 and Apple Watch SE showing you just how much of an improvement it is. It’s able to track a huge wealth of workouts so you can check out your pace on a run, as well as monitor how far you swim, or simply how many calories you end up burning while dancing or participating in Tai Chi. While there’s no ECG feature, the Apple Watch SE 2 can still keep an eye on any abnormally high or low heart rates, as well as detect a fall or crash. It’s swim-proof to 50 meters and it has the same altimeter, accelerometer, and gyroscope as the Apple Watch Series 8.

It looks great too with thousands of apps to enrich your life and the option of installing one of the best Apple Watch faces too. WatchOS 10 when it launches later this year will make the watch even better.
