    Ordered this watch because I was tired of tearing up my Apple Watch every 2 years. It works fine for what I want it to do. Not as nice as the Apple Watch. Wished you could find a place to buy replacement bands and chargers for it. Like that it stays charged for about 3-4 days. Over all it does the job. What do you expect for 35.00.

    Love the features on the watch and the bigger screen. For the price you get all the basics but none of the flares of the non-se versions

    The Apple Watch SE is a first-time buyer's smartwatchThe second-gen Apple Watch SE is $30 cheaper at $249, but it's best for first-time buyers, kids, or people on a budget who want a future-proof smartwatch. If you're looking to upgrade, the Series 8 is a better option for most people.
