Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation (GPS) 40mm Aluminum Case with Starlight Sport Band - M/L - Starlight - (2024)

This is my second time purchasing the Apple Watch SE. The first one lasted me almost 3 years of daily use before I broke it and I loved it so much I just bought it again! I like that this model is affordable, yet still contains all of the features I need in an Apple Watch. I use it to track my daily workouts, steps, task reminders, cooking timers, you name it. I don't really miss the features it doesn't have, like the blood oxygen monitor. Overall, I'd recommend this watch to any budget conscious person as a great value over the more expensive models. The only drawback is durability- you almost certainly need protection. I took a broken screen protector off of my old watch before I had a replacement protector and the watch was shattered the very same day-hence the new watch.

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.
