    I personally love it, small, slick, minimal, color is nice. Charging it once a day but it could last you 2 days tho if you use it just for time.

    I have no regrets in buying this! It fits comfortably and it works great, typical apple like. Personally I wanted something small, and this model was right for me, and even though the battery isn't like the other models, I can still get a full day and half with this. Highly recommend!

    My Experience with the Apple Watch SE 3

    I’ve been using the Apple Watch SE 3 for a while now, and I’m honestly really impressed with it. The performance is smooth and fast, apps open quickly, and notifications come in instantly, which makes it super convenient for everyday use. It’s also very comfortable to wear all day, even when sleeping or working out. I mainly use it to track my workouts, steps, and daily activity, and it does exactly what I need. The fitness tracking is accurate, the heart rate monitoring works well, and I like how it motivates me to stay active with the activity rings. The battery easily lasts me a full day, sometimes even more, which is perfect for my routine. Overall, the Apple Watch SE 3 feels like a great balance between price and features. It gives you the Apple Watch experience without paying extra for things you might not really need. I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish smartwatch.

    Scored an Open Box Gem!

    Bought this online as "open box". It arrived very quickly and I would have never known it was "open box". As I opened the still-sealed box, everything appeared brand new! I replaced my first-gen watch with this one. I'm not a big fan of the somewhat bulky sport band, but I already had others to replace it. The battery lasts for nearly 24 hours, and the screen is crystal clear! The 40mm face is a good size for my female wrist. Works quickly and seamlessly with my iPhone 15, making it fun and easy to look at & choose different watch faces and to customize my apps and text size. I have purchased open-box items from Best Buy before, and would never hesitate to purchase a "like new" product.

    I bought this watch as a gift for my wife, and she absolutely loves it. From the design to the comfort and features, it exceeded our expectations. She wears it every day and constantly talks about how easy it is to use and how great it looks with anything she wears. On top of that, my experience with Best Buy was excellent from start to finish. The purchase process was smooth, delivery was fast, and everything arrived exactly as expected. I’m completely satisfied with this purchase and with Best Buy overall. I would 100% recommend both the watch and buying from Best Buy.

    I’ve been using the Apple Watch SE 3 for a couple of weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The watch feels lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, and the Starlight color looks even better in person. Performance is fast and smooth — apps open quickly, notifications sync instantly, and the battery easily lasts me through the whole day. Fitness tracking is accurate, especially for steps and heart rate, and the display is bright enough to see clearly outdoors. For the price, this model delivers everything I need without any unnecessary features. Overall, a great value and an excellent everyday smartwatch.

    I absolutely love my Apple Watch SE3 and wear it every day. It does an amazing job tracking workouts like Pilates, barre, and walking, and the sleep tracking gives really useful insights. I love using it to count steps and calories, which keeps me motivated and consistent. It’s also small, lightweight, and very cute, so it never feels bulky and looks great with any outfit. Highly recommend!

    The quality of the watch is exceptional, much better than I expected. It's very beautiful, lightweight, and has a modern design. It's very comfortable to wear for long periods,The only drawback is that it only works with Apple iPhones I want to emphasize that one of the employees also helped me and was very friendly.

    The watch was purchased as a gift for my teenage daughter. So far she loves the style and fit of the watch. She had already done more with her watch then I ever could have been capable of doing. We have also noticed a reduction on holding the phone 2” away from her face. Now when she gets a alert she can decide to reply Reply O Ignore without taking out her phone.

    Honestly love this watch. It does everything I need—tracks my workouts, shows my texts, and keeps me on schedule without constantly checking my phone. Super easy to set up and really comfortable to wear all day. Such a good option if you want an Apple Watch without spending a ton. Totally worth it.

    This is a great watch. I previously had the Series 4, 44mm and was nervous about switching to a smaller screen. I don’t miss the bigger screen at all because the text expands to enable ease of reading. It’s less clunky on my small wrist and doesn’t get scratched as easily as the bigger one did. I’m surprised at how seamless the switch has been.

    Needed to replace an older gen Apple Watch and didn't need all the additional features the current gen watch had. We were very happy to find the SE had all the features we had with the older model plus a much nicer, always-on screen and greater responsiveness. It was also nice that the high-end band we had purchased for the old watch was a direct-fit for this one too.

    All Apple Watches pretty much have the exact same functionality as the other models but this one I think it says finally has 5G. So that’s good. I don’t know how it really works though because it’s WiFi only. The 5G probably can’t actually process at 5G speeds via Bluetooth though. Idk.

    The watch overall is feature packed and great for small wrists at a truly affordable price point. Got it for Black Friday for under 200. My sister seems to really like the watch and how lightweight and versatile it is! Only thing is that battery isn’t like amazingly the best compared to bigger Apple Watches or bigger wear os watches.

    Great watch. I used to miss calls and notifications. Links to my iPhone seamlessly. The screen is a little small so I gave it to my daughter and purchased a larger one.
