Fast and smooth to use,Comfortable, wearable design,Clear and bright screen,Great background health features,Excellent fitness tracking overall,
No always-on screen, Sleep tracking is basic, No blood oxygen or ECG sensors,
The Apple Watch SE is as slick as the higher-priced Watch Series 6, and delivers all the essential features and then some. But when it comes to more advanced health sensors, it's not as well equipped as competitors.Reasons to buy+Fast and smooth to use+Co...
Cheaper than the Series 6, Packed with features, Accurate HR and GPS tracking
No ECG or blood oxygen readings, Charges slower than Series 6, No always-on display

No always-on display,Missing some of the sensors found in Series 6 model
Despite being three years old the Apple Watch Series 3 is still hugely popular, mainly down to its asking price. But the Watch SE will see that change as it's a massive upgrade to that model. And "SE" doesn't stand for "super expensive" - quite the opposi...
No always-on display, Battery life still not improved
Our early tests with the Apple Watch SE show a wearable that takes the best of the range, drops the added health benefits and could well be the top-selling Apple Watch out there. Rather than feel like a cut-down version of the 'main' Watch, the SE makes t...
Abstract: You can expect a fitness tracker to be a bit more resilient than your average smartwatch, able to handle the bumps, shakes, and most importantly, sweat, that comes with a workout. Any fitness tracker worth considering is resistant to moisture and splashe...
