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

The Apple Watch SE 3 is Apple's budget smartwatch, with the S10 chip, an always-on display and a 40mm aluminum case in Midnight. It covers the essentials: heart rate, sleep tracking, GPS, 5 ATM water resistance and crash and fall detection, with 64GB of storage. It sits above the SE 2 on display and chip and below the Series models, which add ECG, blood oxygen and a tougher sapphire screen.
