Is the Apple Watch SE worth it over the Series 9?

If you want the core Apple Watch features, yes. The Series 9 adds an always-on display, ECG, blood-oxygen sensing and a faster chip. The SE covers fitness, sleep, GPS and safety alerts at a lower tier.

Does it work with Android phones?

No. The Apple Watch SE requires an iPhone to set up and use. It does not pair with Android devices.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it for up to 18 hours of typical use. Most owners charge it nightly, and workouts with GPS drain it faster.

Can I make calls without my phone?

This is the GPS model, so it needs your iPhone nearby or a Wi-Fi connection for calls and messages. The cellular version adds standalone connectivity.

Is the 44mm case too big for small wrists?

The 44mm case is the larger option and suits medium to large wrists. Shoppers with smaller wrists usually prefer the 40mm size.

The watch with its case and band, plus a magnetic charging cable. A power adapter is not included.
