![Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen, 2023) [GPS 40mm] Smartwatch with Starlight Aluminium Case with Starlight Sport Band S/M. Fitness & Sleep Tracker, Crash Detection, Heart Rate Monitor](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R+kfxZlgL._AC_SX342_SY445_.jpg)
When I had my first smart watch it was a Sony / android one and there were not many apps and it didn’t do much but the Apple Watch is a game changer. I can have my password safe on my watch, send and reply to text messages and even Facebook messages, I can see the moon phases, monitor my health, take voice recordings : notes and instantly it will beam them to my phone, I can play games, get reminders to drink water, reminders to stand up, you can have a virtual pet, I have my reward cards so I can scan them at the checkout from my watch. Map my workouts, track them, play music, I can control my web browser with iCabMobile, remote control tunein radio. Tell the weather with the barometer app, I can identity music playing using Shazam, keep track of my medicine, have notes and todo lists and it’ll all sync with my phone when I’m done and best of all my password safe and my watch is password protected. I don’t remember my passwords for my online accounts so to be able to display them on my watch after entering the passcode is brilliant and saves time and effort, with Apple or YouTube music it’s easy to listen to music even on the go and the sound is loud enough and the audio quality is amazing. It will monitor heart rate, sleep and the watch face selection is amazing, you can even get snoopy and there are apps with many face plates to choose from. Having Siri is helpful and it has crash and fall detection and at the press of a button you can send your location to your contacts in case you need to let them know where you are. It has hand writing recognition for reply to messages. It’s a real game changer and I love it. I got a necklace attachment so I can wear it around my neck when I’m out so it won’t get lost. I ordered the 220mm sports band which is good enough for what I need. It also can detect when your washing your hands and set a 20 second timer so you know your washed your hands long enough if that matters to you, I don’t use that feature.
It was so easy to set up, I brought it close to my phone and it linked to my phone and setup with ease and the data is very accurate. I would have liked the extra health features like spo2 and ecg but I couldn’t justify the cost for features that I will barely use. The screen is very clear and it’s very comfortable and if you hold your wrist up to look at the time, the screen comes on and shows the time, when you move it away it turns the display back off (it’s not got always on)
It has timers, reminders, countdown timers and you can add WhatsApp to it if that’s your thing. I got a screen protector for mine so it doesn’t get scratched during workouts and if it gets knocked it should keep the screen safe.
It’s easy to charge also with the included charger. I’ve not found any negatives so far other than the fact I can’t communicate with Google home through it (Google didn’t make a watch app for it)
The walkie talkie feature is handy if you have a friend or family member with an Apple Watch. It’s very snappy at loading apps. I love it 🥰

I found this Apple watch SE very good for my needs.
I was thinking to buy Series 9 because got Temperature sensor and more powerful cip but price difference was about £140 more so does not justify for myself because I use this one just for time, sleep monitor and pedometer.
I recommend this model for people doesn't want to spend a lot of money for a watch.
Before I got Apple watch series 1 and now SE ...I can see improvement in performance and martials quality.
It runs watchOS 10.4
Battery life one full day with watch face full colours and full brightness but be aware charger cable was updated to USB-C so your old Usb block will not be compatible. Maybe a usb to usbC adapter will work? I didn't try because I use a Wireless charging station for all my apple devices.
Yes you can bath and shower without any problems. Please chean speaker after you use your watch in water.
- press button under crown and scroll up until you see a water drop, select water drop from display and after hold crown button pressed for 3 sec. That's the proper way to eject water from speaker.
