Our take on the Apple Watch SE 3rd Gen GPS+Cell 44mm midnight alum midnight band M/L - MEPJ4LW/A

The Apple Watch SE 3rd Gen is Apple's lower-cost smartwatch, here in the 44mm Midnight aluminum case with a matching sport band and GPS plus Cellular so it can call, text and stream without the iPhone nearby. It covers the essentials: heart rate, activity rings, workout detection, sleep and crash and fall detection, on a bright Retina display. Compared with the Series models it drops the always-on display, ECG and blood oxygen sensors, and the larger screen, but keeps the core fitness and safety features for far less. It suits first-time smartwatch buyers, phone-free runners and anyone who wants iPhone notifications on the wrist without flagship extras.

Questions and answers

Does it work without an iPhone nearby?
Yes. The cellular model can make calls, send messages and stream music on its own with an active cellular plan. Setup and most syncing still need an iPhone.
How is it different from the Apple Watch Series models?
The SE has no always-on display, no ECG and no blood oxygen sensor, and its screen is smaller with thicker bezels. It keeps the core fitness, safety and notification features.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it for about 18 hours of normal use, so most owners charge it daily. Cellular use and long workouts shorten that.
Does it track sleep and workouts?
Yes. It tracks sleep, heart rate, steps and many workout types, and it detects when you start exercising.
Is the 44mm case a good fit?
The 44mm case suits medium to large wrists. The included M/L sport band fits wrists roughly 160 to 210mm; smaller wrists may want a different band.
What is in the box?
The watch, the matching sport band, and a magnetic charging cable. A power adapter is not included.
