Our take on the Apple Watch SE 3 [GPS 40mm] Smartwatch W/ Starlight Aluminum Case
The Apple Watch SE 3 is Apple's entry-level smartwatch, here in the 40mm GPS-only version with a starlight aluminum case. It covers the essentials: heart-rate and sleep tracking, workout and activity rings, crash and fall detection, notifications and Apple Pay, and it pairs with an iPhone only. It lacks the always-on display, ECG and blood-oxygen sensors of the Series models, so it suits first-time smartwatch buyers and phone-free exercisers more than people chasing every health metric.
- Full iPhone integration: calls, messages, Apple Pay, Siri
- Heart-rate, sleep and workout tracking with activity rings
- Crash detection and fall detection built in
- Small 40mm case suits smaller wrists
- GPS for phone-free runs and rides

What reviewers say
Owners treat the SE 3 as a solid, no-fuss first Apple Watch: notifications, activity rings and safety features work well, and the smaller case is comfortable. The common complaints are the missing always-on display, the lack of advanced health sensors and having to charge it most nights.
- DisplayCriticisedReviewers miss an always-on screen, since the display goes dark when the wrist drops.
- BatteryCriticisedOwners say it needs charging roughly every day, so a nightly routine is required.
- Health sensorsMixedHeart rate and sleep tracking are useful, but buyers note the absence of ECG and blood-oxygen sensors.
Questions and answers
- Is the SE 3 worth it over the Series models?
- If you want notifications, activity rings, sleep and heart-rate tracking and safety features, the SE 3 covers them. The Series models add an always-on display, ECG and blood-oxygen readings, which matter if you want those health metrics.
- Does it work with Android phones?
- No. The Apple Watch SE 3 pairs only with an iPhone, so Android users need a different watch.
- How long does the battery last?
- About a day of normal use. Expect to charge it most nights, and more often with long GPS workouts.
- Is the 40mm case big enough?
- The 40mm case is the smaller option and suits slimmer wrists. Try one on if you are between sizes, since the band and case size affect comfort.
- What is in the box?
- The watch with its case and a sport band, plus a charging cable. A power adapter is not included.
- Can I leave my phone at home while running?
- Yes for GPS tracking and music stored on the watch. Calls and messages need the phone nearby or a cellular model, which this GPS version is not.
