Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation)

Core Apple Watch Essentials, Priced to Make Sense

Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) runs on the S8 SiP chip, giving it plenty of headroom for daily notifications, workout tracking, and quick app launches. The Retina display stays crisp and bright indoors and out, sitting behind a more crack-resistant front crystal than the very first SE, and the aluminum case keeps things light on the wrist all day.

Safety features carry over from the flagship lineup: Crash Detection can automatically call for help after a severe car accident, Fall Detection watches for hard falls, and Emergency SOS puts local emergency services a button press away. A heart rate sensor plus high and low heart rate notifications, along with sleep tracking, round out the everyday health picture.

Both the 40mm and 44mm aluminum cases are rated to 50 meters of water resistance, so lap swims and rainy runs aren't a problem. Battery life is good for a full day, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 keep it connected to your phone, and an optional cellular version lets you leave your iPhone at home entirely.
