Our take on the Apple Watch SE 3 GPS 40mm Aluminum Case

The Apple Watch SE 3 is Apple's value smartwatch, now with the S10 chip, an always-on OLED display and the same health and safety features as the pricier models. It tracks sleep score, cycle, workouts and Activity rings, runs Siri and works only with an iPhone. The 40mm GPS model in Starlight aluminum with a Sand Sport Band suits smaller wrists and first-time buyers who want the essentials without paying Series prices.
