Apple Watch SE review: An excellent starter smartwatch

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 competition. But for the price the Watch SE is an excellent...

Powerful OS ; Responsive performance ; Comfortable design ; Comprehensive features for the price

Sleep tracking lags the competition ; No always-on display

Apple Watch SE review: pay a lot less to give up only a little

The SE will be the go-to smartwatch for many this year

Fast performance ; Great smartwatch software ; Reliable battery life

No always-on display ; No third-party watch faces ; No ECG or blood oxygen monitoring

Apple’s new Watch SE is a lower-cost model that doesn’t give up the things that really matter: a nice, big screen, fast performance, reliable battery life, and excellent smartwatch software. At $279 and up, it’s going to be the default smartwatch for...

Apple Watch SE Review

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...

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.

Apple Watch SE Review: price innovations

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...

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
