Our take on the Apple Watch SE 40mm Cellular

The Apple Watch SE is Apple's lower-cost watch, built on the older S5 chip with the same case shape and screen as the Series 5/6. This cellular version adds its own 4G and eSIM, so it works without an iPhone nearby for calls, messages and streaming. It covers the essentials well: heart rate, GPS, sleep and activity tracking, 50m water resistance, Siri and contactless payment. It lacks the always-on display, blood oxygen and ECG of the Series 6 and later, so it suits first-time smartwatch buyers and iPhone users who want the core experience for less.

Questions and answers

Does the Apple Watch SE work without an iPhone?
No. It pairs with an iPhone and needs one for setup. With cellular service active it can make calls, send messages and stream music when the phone is left behind.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is rated 5 ATM (50m), so it handles pool and open-water swimming. Skip high-pressure water like diving.
Does it have an always-on display?
No. The screen turns off when your wrist drops. Only the Series 5 and later models offer always-on.
How does it compare with the Series 6 or newer?
It shares the case and screen but uses the older S5 chip and drops the always-on display, ECG and blood oxygen sensor. Newer models are faster and add those health features.
What is in the box?
The watch with its strap and a magnetic charging cable. The power adapter is sold separately.
Does it track sleep?
Yes. It tracks sleep stages and overnight heart rate through watchOS, with the data shown in the Health app.
