Abstract: Back in 2018, Apple had some troubles with swollen batteries in the Apple Watch Series 2. Since then, we had not heard of continuing batteries or other widespread hardware defects. Now, the Apple Watch SE may have become the hottest watch on the market...

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...

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...
