Review: Apple Watch SE

Price: £269 (inc VAT) from fave.co/3d3eQRn

The Apple Watch SE isn’t quite the iPhone SE of Apple’s wearable line. While it does have a starting price tag that’s about 30 per cent lower than the flagship Series 6 watch, the Apple Watch SE doesn’t have the latest processor or an outdated design, nor is it the cheapest Apple Watch you can buy. That puts it kind of in no man’s land for now, an unenviable position for a product expected to move the needle.

But you’ll be happy with the Apple Watch SE if it is your first smartwatch. It has all of the features you want in a modern smartwatch – a big screen, next-gen sensors, swappable bands, good battery life – at a price that probably won’t break your budget. Aside from the new exclusive red and blue colours you can only get with Apple’s flagship watch, the Apple Watch SE looks identical to the Apple Watch Series 6 and can be outfitted with any of the new Solo bands.
