I have had my SE for 6 mths also. I upgraded from a series 3 with cellular. I agree with you 100%. SE is all you need and at a great price.

The SE 2nd Generation is available in cellular. AT&T had a buy one/get one free and I got my 12 year old the SE for free. He was going to get my old watch, but I couldn’t pass up the deal to get him the SE!

[@muhaimin8233]

i bought the se 4 days ago and i love it. its glass and material around the watch is pretty strong and the battery easily lasts me a whole day with 50% left while using all the features.

I bought my watch se 2 last month and it's the best decision for me. low cost, does everything I need and keeps track of my fitness. Love it!

Is it accurate like tracking calories and also is it good for running swim?? How’s the battery?

[@Dan29203]

The SE? How has it been so far?

[@HollaatyourboyJ]

I own both the SE 2 and the Ultra but i tend to wear the SE 2 most of the time and use the Ultra only if im on long vacay esp in countries that arent so safe if you wear expensive watches or doing some sort of activity whether its trekking or boating. Aside from these, day to day i use my SE 2. I find it much better also to run with due to its small and light frame. Makes a good watch too when you plan on double wristing lol

[@blacklily250]

Why not buy multiple ultra when you’re in long vacay? Only seem logical solution here.

[@HollaatyourboyJ]

@@blacklily250 i actually sold all my apple watches and purchased the Garmin Epix pro gen 2. figured just get 1 watch to do everything esp since im pushing fitness level up so its a great tool plus of course cant compare battery life lol

[@adamrshields]

I have the first Gen SE and I don’t have any complaints or reason to upgrade other than faster charging. I have been looking at used 7 or 8 off of Facebook marketplace or similar to get the fast charge. But I figure I will probably wait until the next one to see what comes out that may be worth upgrading for.

[@ivanlalala100]

bought an iPhone 15 pro max (first apple product i ever had) and a watch SE 2, and after checking all the details on the watch I am very happy I did not buy the series 9 cause I dont use/need ECG, body temperature or blood oxygen... dont care about the always on display on a watch, and battery lasts the same Until theres a HUGE advancement on battery life in a new lineup, I dont think i will change it The ultra makes sense for the battery life and titanium rugged durability performance, but the price difference is just too much for those extra features that I value

[@wtrdogg20]

I recently got mine, 44mm, switching from Samsung Galaxy Watch. I gotta say the Apple Watch SE is all I need now and complementation to my iPhone 13. It has all the features I use very often and more. I got it from Amazon in Prime Deal for 229.00. I really don´t need the always on display (not having the screen on all the time saves battery) and I don't chat much on the watch, I just need the notifications. So far so good, I don't feel I am missing any feature. ECG or Blood Oxigen, thank God I have no cardiovascular problems and the last time I used a Blood Oxigen sensor was during the pandemic, and I used the one included in my old Samsung Galaxy S9, only real time it was useful hahaha. I totally recommed the Apple Watch SE, good enough for most people looking for a Great watch to pair with their iPhone.

[@ChesterFoster]

Great video. The SE Gen2 is an amazing watch. Worth the money. I have both Apple Watch SE (Gen1) and Ultra. When I went to trade in my cellular SE Gen1 Apple offered me 70 dollars 😢. So I kept it and wear it when I’m charging my ultra once every 2 days.

[@caleg2256]

I upgraded to the SE from the Series 3 and the screen actually feels big with thin bezels in comparison. I guess if you’re used to newer watches, the screen looks bad but it’s nothing but an upgrade to me

[@darthhull85]

That’s good to hear. I’m going from a 3 to se as well.

[@ShasieTarot]

This looks like a perfect watch for me as it would be my first Apple Watch, just wish it had KZbin studio app capability

[@letty88]

Thanks for sharing was debating between the SE 2 and and Series 8!!!

[@mikeske9777]

Having heart disease and over 65 years old I looked hard at the Apple Watch SE but I went up to the Series 8 when I bought. I just feel I have an important need to have the blood oxygen and ECG that the Series 8 or for that matter the Series 7 also have. I used a veterans discount of 10% off when I bought my watch. After losing a close friend to a AFIB event with him having a stroke at 49 I just wish he would have listened to me and bought himself an Apple Watch with the ECG function.

Coming back to Apple after being with Samsung for 10+ years, the SE 2 has been perfect for me. I have a Fitbit Versa 3 that I still love but my Apple Watch is a great alternative for every day wear

[@thesaurness2616]

I always prefer to buy the highest end apple products like the pro max. Watch Ultra is the only exception. No amount of battery life is going to make me wear something that bulky on my wrist especially when I’m working out.

[@fairygurl5448]

I’ve had an SE for a couple years now. My biggest complaint is the battery not lasting a full day. Other than that, it’s nice.

[@pbft.j]

What really sold me on getting the SE 2 over a series 7 (cost reasons) is the fact that it EVEN HAS CRASH DETECTION. I'm surprised you didn't mention this! All of the watches in this lineup have crash detection, which is great if you don't have the opportunity to upgrade to an iPhone 14 yet. That was important to me.

[@Rext-s9g]

If it does not have cellular who and how will the Watch call ?

[@pbft.j]

@@Rext-s9g Any celular device, regardless of if it's connected to a service or not, can call emergency services using the closest tower to its location. I'm not 100% sure if the non-cellular version can do that, however, you would more than likely have your phone with you because your watch doesn't have cellular lol The watch would still be connected to that either way and would call emergency services using bluetooth (if it didn't automatically have emergency service calls vía celular). Only the iPhone 14 lineup has crash detection. I'm sure that most people that buy the cheap Apple Watch SE 2 will not have an iPhone 14. I think having the same crash detection on your wrist when your phone may not have it at all is super cool.

Right now iPhone 14 plus is free with new line at Verizon and 36 months contract. Additionally Verizon gives apple witches SE or series 8 for free with new line to $5 monthly. I cannot give up with my google pixel 2 watches with all health metrics included. Series 8 are sold out ((((

[@crazyguy_1233]

I’ve been looking at getting an Apple Watch and this video helped me know which one I should get. The SE has pretty much everything I need. I wanted to get one to track my fitness as well as time and weather when I don’t have my phone right next to me. It would also help for quick looks so I wouldn’t need to pull my phone out all the time. I think this is the one I’m going with probably in a few months when some stores have sales on electronics.

[@DanangAlta]

I got one too for $90. I will not spend more than $100 for any apple device since they roll out firmware updates that brick the device. I have not looked at anything Apple since my 5S got bricked from a firmware update, it destroyed the battery upon restart and would not hold a charge even with the usb cable attached, that was ten years ago. I've owned so many samsung devices and i can say they've never done that to any of the devices I've owned.

[@BeamerTime354]

Got 2 for my kids 7 and 8 and they work great. Keeps them off social media and allows me to keep tabs on them. Also able to set school time so all they can do is see the time.

[@WatchDSSID]

I was originally attracted to the Ultra for its 2 / 3 day battery life, but I eventually realised that if the SE can cope with ALL my requirements in a single day (which it does) then it’s easier (and MUCH cheaper) to have a routine of daily overnight (optimised) charging, rather than an “erratic” routine of every few days.

[@bussin556]

i had the se2 and returned it for an ultra. the ultra is way better in what it provides and the battery life lasted me 3 and 1/2 days with moderate use.

[@konkola3295]

Thank you. I currently have a Series 3 watch and I am looking to upgrade. Whilst I do have health issues, mainly due to age, I am not convinced that all the health monitoring features of the Series 8 would be of significant value to me.

[@Joeythegoats]

[@abnerjoel1]

Excellent review.

[@denniss1211]

As a leading reviewer ... you REALLY need to talk to several older (like me at 80) who need the SE... WHY? Because we don't really need the workout support... we need a fall detection and call for help with cell in case the phone is not close by. That call on a fall could be a real life saver. I really doubt you thought of that! I think you could do a full program on older users!

[@elibrown72]

[@RasenRambo23]

I disagree - the most important feature is NOT there - always on display. Can't live without it once you've tried it. There are so many situations where you just want to peek at your watch, wrist detection can't save you from those. It's always a gesture to bring up the time on the SE.

[@AnimalTV-fl7xe]

I hear what you're saying, but I decided to go for the Series 9 in the end. The always on feature, as mentioned by another commentator, is going to be useful. If I want to look at the time, I just want to look at the time. But also I decided that I probably want the extra health features too. It occurred to me that all the reviews I was seeing were from young, fit men - nothing wrong with that - but as I am not young, fit or male, I decided to splash out on the more premium model. Whether it will be worth it is yet to be determined (it's being delivered this week). It is a significant extra outlay.

[@DomingoBaezBarranco-zx8ry]

I had the first génération or SE, and now the second. The rhythm of release is perfect, two years between each model, I appreciate much more each improvment. And the first one is still used by someone else!

Same just got mine two days ago. And reason why decided was since it was my first I wouldn’t know if I would like it. The 8 had no reason for me because of like couple different features, price wasn’t worth it. Same chip in both. Also dictation just might be easier than typing. Still trying to get use to checking my notifications on it. Number one reason I got it was to be able to lock my iPhone if someone was to snatch it out of my hand. I was so shocked it was cheap and I think i made the right decision.

Got my 5yo the latest SE for tracking and at some point the watch got stuck in boot mode. So I wasn’t able to turn it on, just the apple logo appeared when you’d put it on the charger. It took it to Apple for repair and repair people said they would not even consider fixing the software because there was a chip on the edge of the screen which needed to be fixed first, cost was $229. I didn’t pay this exorbitant amount because that’s practically the cost of a new watch. Remember when Steve Jobs said what separates Apple from the rest is that Apple makes great software in a pretty little box. Well, now that pretty little box is to blame for the software failure. And if in fact the little chip is to blame, which it isn’t because the watch was working fine until the boot Loop, then Apple should warranty this and replace it rather than have us basically buy a new watch.
