    This was a really good purchase. The watch works really well and has so many good features. It’s very easy to use and very handy when it comes to doing things like seeing text messages when you aren’t able to pull out your phone or check your daily steps. Not to mention it’s very comfortable and very sleek looking. An excellent product and I really recommend it.

    Don’t spend more $$$ for the Series 6 unless you are into the gimmicky health features that you will never use after the first week. The Standalone GPS model is fine too since when do you not have your phone with you anyways. The SE has 90% of the features from the Series 6 but is not 90% of its price (more like 75% or even less), meaning the value proposition here is the highest. As for the watch itself, comparing it with the Samsung Watches (I had both the Galaxy 1 & 3 Watches when previously using Android), the Apple Watch seems a bit more reliable in daily use. The Samsungs have a tendency to lag or even crash, forcing hard restarts and even a full reset on a few occasions too. Apple seems to have better stable products. The watch faces are not as beautiful compared to the Samsungs and are less customizable. Everything else seems to be better focused and polished. Wished a round face option would be available sometime in the future.

    Fantastical Purchase

    I use this watch nearly everyday. I had gotten for my job as a Behavior Technician where I am constantly on the run and need this watch all day. It is pretty sturdy although I would use a screen protector to prevent scratches. I use this for timers, playing or changing music when I work out, tracking my workout, and even swimming. I have only used this in a pool which I believe salt water would really damage it so I wouldn't try that. The watch was even able to track how many laps of each stroke I did which was really impressive. Its great to keep track of my phone and to get messages very incognito throughout the day. Really great purchase and I am still using it nearly 3 years later. Clean the watch itself thoroughly at least every few months because water and dirt will inevitably build up where the straps attach and bacteria will grow. I just use a Q-tip soaked in alcohol to disinfect and clean.

    Well apple change the game since the first Apple Watch I’m an athlete so running around and doing exercises is a daily routine for me. I love the Apple Watch since it can track my performance. I wish Apple can do something about the battery as well but as far as I am concerned, I’m a happy camper. It works really good.

    Great watch! I upgraded from the Apple Watch 3. This watch has a bigger display, more memory and is noticeable faster. The battery life is fantastic! After researching all the Apple watches I found the SE to be the most bang for the buck. I am very happy with my purchase.

    Not bad, but lacking a a big feature. I like the looks and size. Screen is very clear. If you are getting it for fitness, make sure that it will be right for you. I cycle and the lack of ANT+ is a bit frustrating. Not that advanced of a feature. If it had this I think it would be perfect but as it is, I either have to keep my heart rate data separate from my workout or wear a separate device that syncs with my cycle computer. Will likely end up just getting a Garmin watch or something similar that has built in ANT+ for simplicity.

    Obessed with my watch. I love how i can put goals throughout the day, linked to my phone so i can get calls and texts and how it tracks my fitness activity. I deff recommend getting an apple watch. The screen is big enough for me to see notifications and respond back.

    Nice looking watch. It is lightweight. The band is comfortable, soft and fits well around wrist without moving or sliding. We chose the bigger face and it is very easy to read texts it is not bulky on my wrist. Features are great: GPS, tracks my fitness, reads text, answers calls and has a "ping" feature that locates my miss-placed phone- it is very convenient. Arrived on time, good customer service ordering online was simple. A little pricy, I think Apple or as a promo purchase should include face coverings to protect from scratches.

    Perfect Upgrade!

    I decided to upgrade from my Apple Watch Series 2, 38MM. I am so glad I did. I absolutely love my new watch. I chose the SE over the 6 because I didn't want or need the blood oxygen level app or the ECG app. I didn't want to always be accessible so I chose not to have the cellular feature. I thought the 44MM screen might be to big for my wrist, but it's a nice upgrade. The watch was really easy to sync with my phone. I've been wearing an Apple Watch for 4 years now and it's really my favorite accessory. It's a bit time consuming to compose a text when you need to write out the letters, but for a quick response, it's awesome! My friends and I love sending each other the canned comments when we finish a work out and being able to compete within the app with each other gives a little extra incentive to push yourself for those last 10 minutes of a workout.

    Love the screen size, the quickness and it easily connects. Serves my purposes for notifications, like texts of course. Love the watch faces filling the screen. I don’t need always on, it turns on fast enough when you check the time. It lasts for 1 day and a half for me. Glad I can still use my watch bands from my previous 42mm with the 44mm. I knew I could but some others may not. Thanks for reading.

    I had been wanting an Apple Watch but was unsure how they worked or what features I needed!! Soon as I walked in Best Buy I was helped out by a nice young man explaining all the difference between the watches!! I have to say I was so happy with my first Apple SE purchase it does everything the Apple Watch 6 does! I wanted to buy one to make sure I liked it before I invested a lot of money into something I would not wear!! I have wore my SE everyday so helpful while working as a nurse!!I would definitely recommend buying an SE if your unsure to what all you need it has everything I loved mine so much I bought my daughter one a week later!! Best Buy is my go to place for all my electronic devices!!!!

    Overall it's a fantastic smartwatch. Unlike android smartwatches, it works flawlessly with the native ecosystem of IOS. It's also an extremely intuitive watch. Unlike its competitors, it lacks basic functions that have been on Andriod and Google OS watches for years. Things like an always-on display. Yeah, you can pay an extra premium for the feature but it's honestly not that difficult to move your wrist a little to wake the device. If I could have an ideal watch, it would have a slightly larger and heavier charger because this one likes to fall off my nightstands and an always-on display that doesn't cost significantly more money. Overall a great value and I love it. I would recommend it over an Apple Watch Series 6.

    After my Apple Watch 3 screen broke, the cost to fix made me decide to buy a new one. I was torn between the Apple Watch 6 and the SE, and decided to go with the SE. I love the larger display on the 44mm and it doesn't look huge on my wrist. It's also faster and has more memory than the Series 3. The only difference between the SE and the 6 is that it lacks the Blood Oxygen and the ECG apps, which are not so important to me at this time. It does have high and low heart rate and irregular heart rhythm notification. I also love the fact the Breathe app reminds me to breathe when I'm feeling stressed, even when I don't realize it. The fact it charges very quickly is a plus. Highly recommend it!
