ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
PROS:
$279 is way cheaper!
It is a mature watch now, most things work well
I like the subtle things like the delay in notifications, especially when you are using another device
Multiple watches sync well - same apps, etc.
I do not miss blood oxygen or ECG for the most part
For the most part, it just works. Connectivity works well, phone calls are seamless, etc.
I use phone calls a lot and nobody ever knows I am on my watch
Apple pay is simple and widely accepted - just type your PIN in when you place the watch on your wrist once, then Apple pay always works
CONS:
No offline Spotify is a real bummer :(
Stand hours is inaccurate
Siri lift and speak feature is nice when it works, but it takes some practice to get it right
Siri is useful and quick to respond when you have a good signal
Design does not look great for formal or semi formal events (very sporty no matter what)
I do miss blood oxygen reading with sleep tracking
Sleep tracking is effectively useless
I miss having an always on display
Battery is realistically not that long
CONCLUSION:
This is definitely the best apple watch for most people
WHAT GEAR DO I USE?
Heart rate sensor: mikeobrienmedi...
(Polar H10 is known to be one of the most accurate in the industry and therefore acts as a great standard to which I compare smartwatch heart rate sensors)

I've had the Apple Watch SE for 6 weeks and I love it...this is my first Apple Watch, and first smart watch in general. I don't really have any issues with it, honestly...the one thing is keeping it charged...since it's sleep tracking (and I actually really like being able to see what time it is in the middle of the night if I wake up; I take out my contacts at night and I'm pretty much blind, so I can't see the alarm clock from bed!), you don't charge it at night. I've been charging mine for maybe 30 minutes in the evening after work, when I'm just relaxing and having dinner, and then again for an hour in the morning, while I'm waking up and having breakfast, so then it's fully charged for my daily workout right after breakfast.

Always on isnt for everyone. But neither is lift to wake if you work with your hands or if you are asleep in bed it will turn on whenever you move so both are a battery drain

@dcrowder1 3 года назад

I went with the 6 specifically for the always on display. For me, it made a big difference when working out. I use timers during my sets and want to see time remaining. Often times without the always on display, the display would go to sleep mid set, which was really annoying. The cost difference is indeed hard to justify by this feature alone but 🤷🏾‍♂️

@adrianlw2750 3 года назад

Interested in your sleep monitoring experience. I did try an inexpensive fitness/sleep/heart rate tracker for a while but found the information to be unreliable and almost created a “stress” in itself, it became an annoyance. TBH it had novelty value only for me at that level of accuracy. Mostly, when wearing any watch, my clothing covers the watch, so AOD has limited value for me in those circumstances. As long as I can read the display outdoors in sunny conditions, during my activities of hiking and cycling, I am happy. For my money, and usage, the SE made more sense than the 6. In fact, I decided that more desirable attributes for me were to have the ease of use from the larger 44mm display, and cellular capability for better future proofing my needs. I still love my mechanical watches too, real timepieces, some of which go back over 50 years in my possession. Now they definitely have AOD, and as they are completely passive, give one a break from tech :-)

I will feel a vibration from my watch and see who its from. And use the voice to text to reply back. So if you guys don’t mind bringing your phone get the SE GPS ver. Its cheap and does its job.

I don’t exactly know who but someone from apple told the reason why the watch doesn’t show complex sleep patterns and trends. They said it would’ve easy to add it to the watch but you can’t really help your sleep patterns and there’s not much you can change about ‘how much REM sleep you had’ or ‘how many hours you were awake’ so instead they focus on your sleep time, which encourages you to get a healthy amount of sleep instead, which is something we actually can control🤷🏻‍♂️

For the stand ring,(blue) it tracks if your moving around, like soft movement (stretching or walking around the house) the exercise ring(green) tracks if your running walking, hiking or biking and it moves up, the move ring (red) uses the stand and exercise ring and counts the amount of calories that you burned. You change the goal of how many calories you burn a day. With watchOS 7 you can change the stand and exercise goals as well, in the fitness app on the watch. You can do that by opening the fitness app on the watch (the app with the three rings) and scroll all the way down, tap “change goals” and you can change the goal for the red ring, tap next to change the green, then blue

Just so you know: The Stand ring shows hours in which you've stood and moved for at least a minute. Complete your daily Stand goal by standing up and moving around for at least 1 minute during 12 different hours in the day. Even if you stand all day, you still need to move around. If you specify that you use a wheelchair, the Stand ring switches to the Roll ring. Roll shows hours in which you’ve pushed around for at least 1 minute.

@rz7818 3 года назад

I have the SE cellular and none of those are frustrations. Look, before anybody considers any Apple Watch ask yourself what is your main intended purposes for the watch. Then you can narrow it down to what you need and save on what you don’t need. For me, the SE watch cellular is what I need. I am forgetful with where I leave my phone and don’t have my phone on my body often especially when at the park with my son or running errands. This watch helped me respond to all messages and calls on the fly cause that’s all I need out of this watch. Nothing else. For that reason the SE watch with cellular works. Don’t need the other junk. So reflect on your life style and what you need out of a watch and begin narrowing down that list. Then you can see what is too much for you and you can save and have more then enough with your pick.

Also lost my phone and used the watch to find it many times. I use the timer every day for work and I can respond to my wife’s incoming messages through my watch. I don’t need to pull my phone out and get into trouble with the boss. The watch makes it easy to stay in communication in a professional way. It’s super convenient. But again people shouldn’t get the latest watch. Get what you need. You save money.

After the first week it was sent back for replacement. Got my new watch. What i dont like is that i cant eliminate the (preloaded )apps i dont need.

I would have really liked it if there was an option to receive notifications even when I'm on my phone. Like when I'm watching a movie and stuff like that. Because I have those annoying pop down notifications off at all times. I get why it's good for some people not to receive notifications while they are on their phones but for me I'd just love to have the option to have it.

You said you were explaining the differences between the SE and the 6 although you never said anything about the Emergency Fall Protection which the 6 does and the SE doesn’t have! 🤔

@mzmel1 2 года назад

The SE has fall detection

The fact that you can't download Spotify music to your  watch and listen offline when going for a run makes having the watch pretty much pointless. Please tell me if I should be mad at Apple or Spotify...

I think more people will get the SE over the series 6. There doesn't seem to be too much of a difference between the two.

Important tip for the Standing stat. You may be at a standing desk but doesn't mean anything to the watch if your watch arm is not "hanging" beside you. It has no concept of elevation. It only knows if your arm is hanging down. We used to pull over and step outside to get the standing stat ( i know, stupid) until I figured out all you need to do is hang your arm perpendicular to the ground. It records it all this way...every...single...time.

If you go to the watch app you can install Spotify and control it from your watch now. I guess the new Apple update fixed the issue

Your phone still has to be nearby though which is frustrating if say your going on a run and have no pockets :)

Apparently the stand goal is based on if you stood for 1 minute in every hour you set, which is apparently a healthy thing to do. This is why you get the "Just one more minute!" notification. If this is the case, Apple definitely did not make it very clear and understandable.

@MikeOBrienMedia 4 года назад

You make a good point. They could make things clearer. I still think they should make the blue ring a step count or somethingYou

I’m new to the Apple Watch ecosystem. Just bought the SE. While driving out I pressed the Hiking tab by mistake. The entire car journey was recorded as a Hike! Could the watch not detect a car drive from a walk/hike? Rather surprising😳😳

Spotify? Not an interest for me? I have the series 6, and love it. I go out for rides, runs, walks very early in the morning, and love the peace and quite that I don't get during the day. I agree, sleep tracking is not all that great. Apple could have done better. It's simply lame! They should take a look at Fitbit's sleep tracking. By the way, I see that you are wearing the 40mm watch. I also wear the 40mm. It looks more natural on the wrist. The 44mm looks like a Dick Tracy watch, or something out of Star Trek . . . "beam me up Scotty." Everything on the Apple Watch works great. No glitches. Very good review, Mike. Much mahalo!!

However, you'll still need the cellular version of the Watch right? If you want to go on a run without your phone and just your watch and airpods?

@texasvet7241 3 года назад

Not having to use a passcode is huge benefit for me. I have wrist tattoos and by being able to bypass a passcode makes the watch useable. I can’t use Apple Pay but that’s not a big deal for me.

@TheBamaChad-W4CHD Год назад

The biggest complainti hear about the SE is the processor being lower end than 8 and Ultra. I have to wonder what could someone possibly be doing to notice? I haven't seen anything that could possibly stress the cpu of my watch yet. I do everything from messaging to music and going through pictures and such. Nothing even comes close to needing a better processor lol

@ChristyFreakinRoss 3 года назад

The stand time isn’t accurate on any of the watches. But it’s not a huge inaccuracy. We’ve noticed that as well. I have a series one, sister has series 5, friend has series 6, and I have the SE.

@kumarmanish9046 2 года назад

So are you saying Watch 6 or 7 gives better sleep cycle metrics but SE does not? If yes, that seems weird. Is it due to a hardware difference?

@Geemeel1 3 года назад

GREAT review , SO helpfull, I've just bought the SE, as of your review

@eggdude5460 3 года назад

6:30 ok i just need to clarify, your technically correct. Using the default sleep tracking app by apple you don't get that detailed of a measurement, but this is not the fault of the SE and is easily remedied. Long sotry short the default app is very lacking and in its 1st generation, so if you want detailed sleep tracking just get one of the many third party apps, that work great even on the series 3.

@baldcat1810 2 года назад

So...if sleep monitoring is the only issue....buy a cheap fitness band...Mi Band 6 or Huawei Band 6 that is pretty good at monitoring sleep....as well as the iWatch SE and still works out cheaper than the iWatch 6 or iWatch 7

@jeff2tc99 Год назад

I have been using the SE for 6 months in 2022. I don’t do exercise apart from normal activity. Consequently all the defining differences to watches 6, 7, 8, ultra is fitness related and no interest to me. I use it for workflows and productivity. Ios16 has been a dismal failure after ios15 by cancelling workflow features.
