Our take on the Apple Watch Series SE (GPS + Cellular, 44MM) Gold Aluminum Starlight Band

The Apple Watch SE is Apple's lower-cost smartwatch, here in the 44mm gold aluminum case with a starlight sport band and cellular built in. It covers the essentials: heart-rate tracking, workout and activity rings, built-in GPS, sleep and crash detection, and calls and texts without the iPhone nearby. It leaves out the always-on display, blood-oxygen sensing and ECG that the Series 8 and later models add. Reviewers call it the best value in the Apple Watch line for first-time buyers and fitness casuals, while noting the battery still needs a nightly charge.

Questions and answers

Is the Apple Watch SE worth it over a pricier Apple Watch?
If you want the core experience — notifications, fitness tracking, safety features and cellular — the SE covers it. You give up the always-on display, ECG and blood-oxygen sensing.
Can I make calls without my iPhone?
Yes. The cellular model handles calls, texts and music streaming on its own, but it needs a carrier plan for the watch.
How long does the battery last?
About a day of normal use. Heavy workouts and cellular use drain it faster, so most owners charge it nightly.
Does it work with Android phones?
No. The Apple Watch requires an iPhone to set up and use.
Is the 44mm case too big for small wrists?
It is the larger of the two SE sizes. Shoppers with narrow wrists often prefer the 40mm version for comfort.
What is in the box?
The watch with the starlight sport band and a magnetic charging cable. A power adapter is not included.
Where is the Apple Watch Series SE (GPS + Cellular, 44MM) Gold Aluminum Starlight Band cheapest?
