Apple Watch SE (2022) - Don't Be Fooled!

Apple just released the brand new Apple Watch SE which is a departure from the last Apple Watch SE because it now has the same performance as the flagship Series 8 Watch with its S8 processor. It also gets a new car crash detect features, and a bunch of software improvements in watchOS 9 including a low power mode for 38 hours of battery life, and a redesigned compass app. However, is this watch really worth it with its older design compared to the Series 8, and will you miss out by not having the latest health sensors?

Got the original SE last September and it was pretty good for the price, didn't see the extra value in paying more for a series 7, and it's still really snappy in day to day use. Charging is a little slow but it makes up for it with its excellent battery life

Right! I got myself the S7 just because I am a more technical and active person so I do use and take advantage of everything. But I recently got my dad a watch so we can keep each other accountable for activity and my dad loves the SE. I didn't think it wouldn't be liked but with the person my dad is, price doesn't matter but the experience will either make or break it and the SE hits everything an apple watch needs and more.

I decided to buy the SE2 because in Europe it was the best investment (Series 7 wasn’t discounted much) and I love it A LOT! It’s super fast, I compared it with the Series 7 and 8 and the extra 2 sensors (O2 and temperature) and always on display weren’t worth double the price (299 euros for the SE2 vs 399 for the Series 7 vs 499 for the Series 8). If you haven’t tried an Apple Watch, I think you might love it, I initially bought it to use it for fitness tracking and I have found countless opportunities where I use it on the daily. Hope my experience helps some of you!

O2 sensor, temp sensor, ekg data is just gimmicky and you are on point. It is not worth buying the series 8 at 2x price. In india series 8 is 3.5x times of se2

[@potownrob]

Couldn’t imagine not having the always on display, ever since I got a series 5. It truly makes the Apple Watch a watch. I find turning off raise to wake and most notifications other than calls, texts and certain apps, and keeping the always on display on gets me better battery life than turning off the AOD but keeping raise to wake on.

[@user-sf9gs2pg1b]

I’m not much a fan of the always on display, but that’s just because I’m weird. If it were like the same brightness as it being on while retaining battery life all the same, then I would like it, but I know that isn’t ideal whatsoever right now.

[@potownrob]

@@user-sf9gs2pg1b I totally get what you’re saying - at least in certain settings the AOD can be too dark to really see or look like it’s really on - they improved it with the series 6 and its brighter screen.

I'm actually glad the SE exists, as it lets people on low incomes test the waters without spending an entire month's disability check on the higher end watches. Even with my vision, (low vision), I'm able to use the SE's accessibility features to access this watch. I have a heart condition, and wish the SE had the ECG capability of the higher end watches, but it at least has the ability to let me know if there's a problem. At my age, the fall detection feature is a must have. Thanks for sharing.

The Apple Watch 8 is dope! But, after getting the SE, I’m super happy! The nylon back looks so good, it’s lighter than the 8, and noticeable. The screen size doesn’t bother me, it’s a fast watch, I got the cellular version, and I love leaving my iPhone behind while I go out with my friends, dinner with my wife, work, etc… it’s super nice for my mental health. The only feature I wish I had was a blood oxygen sensor. The SE is a perfect balance and value.

[@potownrob]

Series 6 in good shape with a good battery is probably the best bet vs. the newer watches. Series 5 is a bargain on the used market, but I find the Series 6 runs more efficiently and the battery lasts longer in my experience. I have had multiple series 5 and series 6 watches and have found every series 6 to have better battery life than every series 5, the way I use the watches.

Great review and comparison between the two watches. You’re 100% right when you said you sort of do need to compare the two. As someone who has never owned a smart watch, the 2022 SE made the most sense for me. Also, thanks for the laugh with the shining reference.

[@Tuukkohakee]

Coming from a series 4 I upgraded to the 8. After upgrading the always on display has been something I wouldn’t get rid of easily. Oh, and the battery life too. But there aren’t many differences between the SE and 8 and for me it’s the always on display, bigger screen and the keyboard.

[@shaggy791]

I have the Apple Watch Series 7 Nike edition, and I love all of the features that it has. I was excited to see what the series 8 was going to bring to the table, and have to admit that I was completely underwhelmed. Temperature tracking for ovulation does absolutely nothing for me, since I am a man. Now, if the temperature sensor was able to give you a read out on the spot to let you know if you are sick or something, that would be a game changer. And then the added crash detection, it’s just not enough new features to warrant an upgrade. Now, if we later find out that the temperature sensor CAN work in that fashion, perhaps I’ll consider it.

[@fightnight14]

You have a series 7. Of course you would be disappointed 😂

[@sujoynandi1]

I think future’s update will enable it

[@aecl4287]

The temperature sensor can tell when you are sick. I own one and I’ve seen many posts on reddit when the S8 or Ultra detected their sickness.

[@andrewcostel4821]

I got the se 2 watch. Works great. Battery lasts all day/night. I charge it in the morning to 100% when I’m in the shower, and it only goes down to 70ish every 24hrs

[@ollie2442]

I was in the market for an SE2 or Series 8 after finally upgrading from my Series 1 (which is still on watchos6…). I ended up really liking the more premium design of the Apple Watch Series 8 and although the SE2 was enough of an upgrade for me, I feel like I’d always stay wanting more so I ended up buying a preowned Series 7 in starlight in really good condition and 98% battery health for £220! It was an absolute steal and I’d seriously recommend trying to find a really well priced Series 7. I saw it averagely between £240-£290.

[@TheMJWrestlingV2]

Coming from a long history of Mi Bands, the Watch SE 2022 feels like a freaking powerhouse. I'm beyond impressed. I honestly only regret not getting the cellular model. Aside from that, I'm extremely happy. I even like the raise-to-wake, it works every time, and that's how I used my Mi Bands for yeeears, also I kinda like the look of the display being turned off. For a first Apple Watch, coming from smart bands, it's a great choice.

@@izzuddinazis9982 Went from Mi bands too, and the upgrade is insane, only thing is battery, but you quickly get into habits of charging it when you don't need to features, not really an issue. If you have an iPhone and wanna get a new watch or wearable the apple watch is the way to go.

[@Jikul]

Greg, I like your videos, but the "Don't be fooled" titles are getting out of hand. Honestly... you can do better than that! I lose interest whenever I read that silliness.

[@casualintrovert207]

I still have my SE and I wear it daily, even with the new updates it really is fast and smooth enough that I don't really see a need to upgrade to the SE2. I was seriously hoping that the SE2 would end up having the smaller bezels that the S7 and now S8 have, but it didn't. Honestly I would say if you're looking for a first time apple watch you could snag the first SE for an even greater discount. It still works perfectly fine and the speed is really not something most people are going to notice.

[@casualintrovert207]

UPDATE: I ended up trading in my SE on the Apple Store to buy an S8. If you have your watch on you all the time, the upgrade is worth it. Noticeably less laggy, charges significantly faster, and the battery lasts longer too. And the flashlight seems to get brighter than before. The bigger screen is also a plus, although I haven’t noticed it as much As I was hoping I would on the watch faces mainly. But the keyboard is actually great and the swipe to type gestures work surprisingly well.

[@OlgaFyodorova]

I'm going to get a series 8 because of bigger screen and always-on display. I'm upgrading from a series 3 which is still fully functional and even has 98% battery health - which totally amazes me because I've been using it for 5 years. I'd continue using it, but it starts annoying me with being slow sometimes.

[@TimsRetroCorner]

I'm still rocking my Series3 from 2018. The only "problem" I have with it is that it won't do a software update without resetting & reinstalling it from scratch (always "insufficient memory"). But soon that won't be a problem, lol. Nothing I've seen so far is a compelling enough reason to spend hundreds and upgrade. (now, if they came out with a BG monitor, that _would_ be compelling, being diabetic and all...). So I'll just keep wearing my S3. It still tells the time, it still nags me to stand up every now and then. Timers work. it tells me if it's raining. Don't need a lot more!

[@mikehellinger1]

couldn't agree more. I still have my Series 3 and it does everything I need it to. I could even stretch out the battery for 2 days, but I just toss it on the charger when I go to bed and never have battery anxiety. It's a fine watch.

There are tons of useful features, but I'm still waiting for the day when we need to charge them once a week. At that point I'd seriously consider.

I doubt a watch with such a battery will be here soon… However, I think from a series 3 it would be worth upgrading to a new Apple Watch, just for the faster chips since even the previous SE doesn’t really need to load much at all… I don’t know for sure but a friend of mine recently upgraded from a series 3 and he said he noticed a lot of difference in loading time

The problem with the Apple watches is the absurdly short battery life is you really use it in a multi-hour workout, even the ultra isn't even in the game when it comes to battery life. You should be able too use a watch hard for days without recharging, maybe just limiting GPS. What happens when the watch is a few years old ... oh, that is right, you should buy the new watch then. I'm replacing a Garmin watch that is like seven years old because I have to charge it too often, at least I won't waste a lot on money on a watch that won't even make it through one hard use day.

[@julianperry4767]

Never had an Apple Watch before but always used an iPhone. I just need it for quicker Apple pay, to tell the time, and to give me a few notifications, nothing fancy. Getting this new SE also because I want years of updates. $249 hard to beat.

[@JustLearning]

Thanks for video. It helped me to decide between the SE and the Series 8. Will spend a little more and get the Series 8.

My stainless series 2 battery had finally started puffing up and popping the screen off so i upgraded to the SE2 in silver. I dont miss the durability/weight of the stainless at all and love how snappy and light it is.

Hey man, keep up the grind! This is an exceptional tech review video and you absolutely have potential to gain a ton more subscribers

I had a series 4 44mm for a year or so then left the apple ecosystem for a few years just came back and got this SE and it’s exactly what I want and need I don’t need all the fancy gadgets and features that I’ll never need

[@Deetroiter]

Any ideas on this dust resistance it’s supposedly lacking? I’m confused how a watch can be waterproof, but not dustproof

[@unchpunchem8947]

I suppose dust could gunk up the crown pretty bad and mess with those mechanics in a way that water wouldn’t. That’s pure guesswork though

[@fairygurl5448]

I just upgraded from the Apple Watch 3 to the SE. Loving it so far!

[@gzgz3883]

Hi, great video, thanks. The original SE has S5 processor introduced with series 5. Take care!

[@Angelic_jas]

Keep up the great work Greg! 🙏🏻

[@GregsGadgets]

Thank you 🙏

[@Ryan_Revier]

Because of the latest Series 7,8, SE 1, SE 2 are more expensive, I got the Series 5 and my own Series 6 is the final Apple Watch since I will give the Series 5 to my eldest brother to used it.

[@joshuasibayan1726]

I was considering getting the 2nd gen Apple Watch, since it started at 249, but I saw Walmart selling the 45mm in green for 300, so I jumped for that one.

[@AdamFunk]

Hah, the shot on the rooftop early on in the video had me thinking "oh, wow, that looks so much like MKBHD's building" before noticing that the weather report later was, in fact, also for Kearny.

[@A-Series94]

Missing keyboard feels like actualy missing feature was good if its included.

[@johnmacaspac410]

Getting my first Apple Watch today. SE2 and got it for $100 from my phone carrier

[@nicolekok4271]

love your honest review on this new Apple SE2. does the low power mode applies to the phased out iWatch7 on Watchos9?

[@TravisPluss]

I hate it when companies cut costs to deliver sub-par products.

[@Bumbumbr-zu5gc]

Ended up getting this watch and iPad for free when I bought my IPhone 14 pro, I been wanting a new Apple Watch but never knew which one to get. I still love my Apple Watch Series 3 but I’m glad that I was able to get an SE 2.

[@wowanmyboat]

A lot of these features are on the original Apple Watch SE as well. Not much change

[@NickSoong]

great video! disclaimer: the first-gen Apple Watch SE models sold from Sept 2021-Sept 2022 came bundled with the charging cable with USB-C on one end.

[@CodedEnough]

Don't really care for all the extra features, so probably looking into getting the SE2. Although, I would miss out on the always-on display and larger screen size.

[@user-sf9gs2pg1b]

Everyone’s different, but for me I found always on display not to be worth it, wasn’t a fan. The larger screen personally didn’t fit my wrist, but if you have wrists that can accommodate then I’d consider it. Though, if you have your phone on you and plan on using it alongside your phone (not by itself on cellular), then I don’t think a larger screen would matter much with your phone there.

[@rochitgurung9090]

@@user-sf9gs2pg1b AOd is worth it every penny

[@loganyoung228]

This entire video can be summed up in the phrase "it's not as good as the more expensive premium device but you'll probably get along just fine anyway"

[@francisyuweh706]

having the same chip and essential apps, thats worth buying

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

The only real noticeable difference are 3 things. Always on display, thinner bezels and the Ultra wide band
