Our take on the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) (GPS + Cellular, 40mm)

The Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is Apple's entry-level smartwatch, here in the 40mm aluminum case with GPS and Cellular so it works without an iPhone nearby. It runs the S6 chip, has a Retina LTPO OLED display, heart-rate tracking, workout and sleep monitoring, and 50m water resistance. It skips the always-on display, blood oxygen and ECG that the Series 8 offers, which is the main trade-off. It suits first-time smartwatch buyers, iPhone owners who want calls and messages on the wrist, and families using Family Setup for a member without an iPhone.

Questions and answers

Is the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) worth it over the Series 8?
If you want the core experience, yes. The SE covers calls, messages, workouts, heart rate and sleep tracking. The Series 8 adds an always-on display, ECG and blood oxygen, which matter if you want those health readings.
Does it work without an iPhone nearby?
Yes, with a cellular plan. Calls, messages, music streaming and emergency calls work when the iPhone is left at home. Without a plan it needs the phone or Wi-Fi.
How long does the battery last?
About a day of normal use, so most owners charge it overnight. Cellular use and long workouts shorten that.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is water resistant to 50 meters, so pool and open-water swimming are fine. Skip high-pressure water and diving.
What is Family Setup?
It lets a family member without an iPhone use the watch, managed from an iPhone. The watch needs its own cellular plan for calls and messages away from Wi-Fi.
What comes in the box?
The watch with the Sport Band, plus a magnetic charging cable. A power adapter is not included.
