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

The Apple Watch SE 3 is Apple's entry-level smartwatch, now with an always-on display, a faster S10 chip and cellular built in. The 40mm aluminum case in Starlight suits smaller wrists and kids on a family setup. At $142 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the bottom of its recent range, well under the $239.99 high seen the day before.

Pros
  • Always-on display, new to the SE line
  • S10 chip keeps watchOS fast for years
  • Cellular included, so calls and texts work without the phone
  • Sleep apnea detection and crash detection
  • Light 40mm aluminum case with 50m water resistance
Cons
  • No ECG or blood oxygen sensor
  • No double tap or wrist temperature sensing
  • Battery still about 18 hours, so daily charging
  • Always-on display drains more if left on

What reviewers say

Owners treat the SE 3 as the value pick in Apple's lineup: fast, light and finally with an always-on screen. Most complaints are about battery life and the health features it leaves out.

What people mention
  • BatteryCriticisedOwners say it still needs a charge every day, and always-on display shortens that further.
  • DisplayPraisedThe always-on screen is called the biggest improvement over the SE 2.
  • PerformancePraisedThe S10 chip keeps apps and watchOS feeling quick.
  • Health sensorsMixedSleep apnea and crash detection are welcomed, but the lack of ECG and blood oxygen is noted.
  • FitPraisedThe 40mm aluminum case is described as light and comfortable, including overnight.

Questions and answers

Is the SE 3 worth it over the SE 2?
Yes, if the always-on display and faster chip matter to you. The SE 2 is cheaper but has neither.
Does this model work without an iPhone?
No. It needs an iPhone for setup, though Family Setup lets a kid use it with a parent's iPhone.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at about 18 hours. With cellular use or the always-on display, expect to charge it daily.
Is the 40mm or 44mm case better?
The 40mm fits wrists roughly 130–200mm and suits most women and teens. The 44mm gives a bigger screen for larger wrists.
What's in the box?
The watch, a matching band and a USB-C charging cable. The power adapter is sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
Its low since early November 2026 was $142 at Walmart on November 7, against a $239.99 high the day before. Watch for similar dips around sales events.
