Husband proof watch

I bought this watch for my husband. He absolutely loves it. He is a delivery truck driver and his favorite mode is the gps. Whenever he needs to turn left or right his watch will let him know which way. This is a great safety feature. Since I do not wear my Fitbit as much, he’s always able to tell me the time (I am constantly asking for the time). Another great thing about the Apple Watch is how sturdy it is. When my husband is on deliveries, he carries and puts together heavy furniture for people and his watch is still in perfect condition. He doesn’t even have any kind of protection on it. It’s insane to me!

I originally got it to just track my workouts but I ended up using it for everyday wear, it’s very convenient and fun to have. Easily cleanable and in my opinion an affordable price. As well as the batter life is pretty great and the amount of time it takes to charge is incredibly fast

Honestly a good watch for the price. Helps me track my fitness journey. I also discovered some features which i didn’t know it had which was very great especially since this was my first Apple Watch. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an Apple Watch

Overall product was good. But the issue is with the battery life. Apple should work on battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is a fantastic choice for anyone new to smartwatches or upgrading from an older model. The 40mm size fits comfortably, and the Lake Green Sport Loop adds a stylish touch. Battery life lasts a full day, and GPS tracking is accurate for workouts. While it lacks advanced features like an always-on display, it delivers core Apple Watch functionality at a more affordable price. Highly recommended for casual users!

I really like the watch. The 40 mm is perfect for a small wrist. The sport loop is easy to use and can be adjusted based on your wrist size. I got it to track my steps and sleeping. I wish the sleeping app gave you more diagnostics other than the amount of time you sleep in each phase. I want to know what it means and how it is impacting me.
This was also an open box purchase and it seems brand new. The box was a bit dinged up but the actual watch was fine.

I bought this as a replacement for my first gen Apple Watch when it's battery expanded and the screen separated from the watch. Only took 10 years!! I settled for the 40mm since the 38mm is no longer produced, and it's a great piece. Does everything I need it to do - but some of the face design choices are now gone, so I can't reproduce the one I had on the old watch. Oh well. I recommend the SE to all who do not need or want all the 'additional' bells and whistles the more expensive models offer.

I like it and have a lot to learn about it easy to match to phone I don`t like the fact that since I paired it I don`t always get a notification of text messages

I got the watch for tracking exercise without having to keep my iPhone with me all the time--and I am more than pleased with how easy it is to manage. A bonus is the fall detection ability (haven't needed it, thank goodness, but glad it's there!). It is also nice to have notifications regarding texts, so that I am not tethered to the phone. My only negative is the 24 hour or less battery life--took a star off because of that.

The Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (GPS) with the 40mm Ink Sport Loop is amazing! It’s lightweight, comfortable, and looks sleek on my wrist. I love tracking workouts, steps, and heart rate, and the GPS is spot-on for runs. Notifications and calls sync perfectly with my iPhone, making life easier. Battery lasts all day, and the design is stylish enough for any occasion. It’s the perfect mix of fitness, convenience, and style — definitely worth every penny!

The **Apple Watch SE 2** is the best budget-friendly option in the lineup, giving you the fast performance (same chip as the Series 8/9), all the essential features like **notifications**, **fitness tracking**, **Apple Pay**, and critical safety features like **Crash Detection**. It sacrifices advanced health sensors (ECG, etc.) and the **Always-On Display** to be the ideal, speedy, and simple smartwatch for new users and anyone who doesn't need all the extra bells and whistles.

Love my watch! I use it primarily for golfing. Works great. It was a little confusing setting it up but I figured it out. Still wish I could add one more app to it.

Bought this watch for my mother. She's 79 years old and has been using Apple products since the 80's. She wanted something that would alert her of messages when she didn't have her phone and to help her find her phone too! It also is great for me to know where she is and alert me if she has a fall. It's so easy to use she set it up on her iPhone herself!
