Our take on the Apple Watch SE 3

The Apple Watch SE 3 is Apple's lower-cost smartwatch, now with an always-on display, the S10 chip and 64GB of storage. It covers the essentials most people want: fitness and sleep tracking, heart-rate alerts, crash and fall detection, and iPhone notifications on the wrist. It lacks the Series 11's ECG, blood-oxygen sensing and larger, brighter screen, so buyers who want advanced health sensors should look higher in the line. Reviewers treat it as the sensible pick for a first Apple Watch or for a phone-free family setup.

Questions and answers

Is the Apple Watch SE 3 worth it over the SE 2?: Yes, if the always-on display and faster chip matter to you. The SE 2 still covers the basics for less, but the SE 3 feels closer to the pricier models.
How does it compare with the Apple Watch Series 11?: The Series 11 adds ECG, blood-oxygen sensing, a larger and brighter screen and Wi-Fi 6. The SE 3 keeps the core fitness, safety and notification features for less.
How long does the battery last?: Apple rates it at up to 18 hours of normal use, or up to 32 hours in Low Power Mode. Most owners charge it nightly.
Can I swim with it?: Yes. It is water resistant to 50 m and suitable for pool and open-water swimming, though not for diving.
Does it work with Android phones?: No. It requires an iPhone to set up and use.
What sizes does it come in?: It comes in 40mm and 44mm cases, in GPS and GPS + Cellular versions.
Where is the Apple Watch SE 3 cheapest?: At Amazon, for $299.00, as of our latest check.
