A few weeks after the Apple Watch Series 6 was presented, the rumor of an “economic” version that accompanied it jumped. All pointed to a watch with a different design and much lower performance, but once the characteristics of the Apple Watch SE are known, all changes and it is today one of the most recommended smartwatches. Here are several reasons why we think it is an excellent purchase.
Reasons to buy the Apple Watch SE now
It was presented on September 15, at the same event as the aforementioned Series 6 and accompanying the new iPad 2020 and iPad Air 4. This device is logically inferior in performance to its generation companion, but it has very outstanding points that could make that if you are undecided you will end up deciding.
An up-to-date design
Aesthetically this Watch has nothing to envy to the Series 6. From visual effects it is identical, also having 40 or 42 mm sizes available and with a very good quality screen that takes full advantage of the front with the reduced frames. In addition to being able to use all kinds of compatible straps, whether or not they are official Apple.
A processor of the future
The S5 chip that incorporates this clock not only makes applications open very smoothly, but also moves the entire system efficiently. This is also a guarantee of at least 4 more years of updates, making the watch continue to function in full capacity with all the future news that watchOS brings.
Interesting health features
It is true that it does not have functions such as the ECG or blood oxygen measurement that the Apple Watch Seres 6 does, but it does have a heart rate meter and a fall detector among its most outstanding functions in this area. In this way you can keep abreast of the health of your heart and avoid possible scares in cases of emergencies.
Get in shape thanks to him
Although in the health section we have already seen some shortcomings compared to other watches, in the case of sports functions we do not find anything different. You can practice any sport and monitor all physical activity thanks to this Apple Watch SE, obtaining very accurate values that make your workouts always recorded.
The series 3 is no rival in price
Yes, the Apple Watch Series 3 continues on sale at Apple and does so at a lower price than the ‘SE’. However, the 80 euros less it costs we do not believe that they are a considerable difference not to bet on the SE. With everything seen above, the Apple Watch SE is a watch for many years, while the Series 3 can barely with watchOS 7 and there are countless failures reported in recent months in this generation.
What is discussed in this article is not the only thing that this smartwatch has, but it is the highlight from our point of view. With all this we do not want to detract from the great work done in the Apple Watch Series 6, but we honestly believe that this ‘SE’ is a watch more than suitable for a majority of the public who want a smartwatch from the Californian brand. If you can do without functions such as the always-on screen or the absence of health sensors discussed above, you can save good money and yet have a very powerful watch that will last for many years.
