    The SE 2024 retains the clean, minimalist design Apple Watches are known for, with an aluminum case and a vibrant Retina display. Although it lacks the Always-On Display seen in higher-end models, the screen is crisp, bright, and easy to read, even in sunlight.

    Bought the gps and cellular for my 9yo daughter. I set it up with my phone as a family watch. She uses it for timers in class, with screen time and downtime settings I can lockdown during school hours so she can’t use random things. Great for calling/texting her for oickups, and tracking if I need. She loves messing around with the faces and has a nice stretchy band we got cheap from BB. This is the best alternative to getting the functionality needed without having to get kids a phone and all the social media baggage that comes with those. I was able to enable it with att for cell coverage really easily from the att app on my phone. Not bad to stay connected/call her for $10/mo.

    I wasn't sure I wanted an Apple watch because I always used Fitbit. I was amazed at all the different features this watch provided and the services it provided. I will always have an Apple watch.

    The Apple Watch SE is a first-time buyer's smartwatchWhen I reviewed the original Apple Watch SE in 2020, I was certain it was the best option for most people. In fact, my SE review was titled, “ Just get the Apple Watch SE .” Back then, the always-on display was relatively new, the bigger screen
