Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation (GPS) 44mm Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - M/L - Midnight - (2024)

My Google ecosystem has broken down (according to Gemini, which can make mistakes so double check it) due to the change from Assistant to Gemini, which isnt finished yet. My home pod was confusing, and became a paperweight since chnaging our network. Gemini said they current "dont shake hands" anymore. I didn't realize there were so many snags (frog in pot) until I began using this watch again, with no snags except with the new phone defaulting to my old ipod mini, which probably has an option somewhere to change but for now it's just unplugged. I did like the round watch very much, but this is smaller and so that makes it better to me. The Apple is more responsive and more accurate than my previous watch. I can turn alarms off from the watch instead of having to go to the phone. The only way to do that on my other watch was to program the alarm into the watch itself, not the phone. It had gotten frustrating keeping track of which alarms were which, and stopping what I was doing to go find my phone was annoying. I was most impressed by the silliest thing. I used to complain that the other system never said "you're welcome" to any automatic "thank you." I chuckled when I forgot myself and said "thank you" to Siri. Siri responds with : you're welcome, or my pleasure, etc. Yes, silly, but contributes to the impression overall.

I'm a huge tech nerd and love Apple's products despite their proprietary use. After plenty of research, this seemed best for my girlfriend because she doesn't do anything crazy or require what the series 10 or ultra does. She regularly tracks her health stats on her iphone and has to take work calls and respond to texts while driving. I wanted to get her something more accessible, safe, and accurate. She's loved it so much ever since putting it on and loves the sleep tracking, cycle tracking, remote alarm and camera control, text messaging, and being able to play a sound to find her phone. The battery lasts about 2 days and has a low power mode. It's made her life much easier and I highly recommend it to those wanting one for regular daily use. Great for price.

I'd been wanting an Apple Watch forever, and when this one went on sale I finally decided to treat myself. I know this is an older model, but it's still incredible what such a tiny device can do. I'm already using it to track my daily walk and do the meditation exercises. Be aware that if you have chunky wrists like I do, the S/M band will not fit. But the loops are easy to find and more comfortable anyway. And I wish the battery life were better.

Has all the basic health and other functionalities that i needed like pinging your phone etc and much cheaper than its regular counterparts by apple. I need to charge my apple watch 9 everyday too although its percentage left by the end of day might be more than the SE but nonetheless i need to charge it. So i dont really think the battery plays a much significant role

I expected the step counter to be on one of the face options. I've had it a little over 2 weeks and found the step counter after spending way more time searching than I had anticipated. I thought when it gave me the option of changing my goals that it might let me choose to show my step count in place of another ring, but it didn't. I might recommend this to anyone who isn't going to use the step counter that often. The silicone band is soft and smooth. I was able to wear this in a pool without worry. The battery doesn't last as long as I'd like, but it does last about a day, with notifications and reminders on. The screen's image is gorgeous. It amazes me how far technology has come in 25 years.
