Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) [GPS 44mm] Smartwatch with Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band M/L. Fitness and Sleep Trackers, Crash Detection, Heart Rate Monitor, Retina Display

I had an Apple Watch Ultra 2 that I wore all day every day. I decided that I wanted to go back to a normal watch as my daily driver in order to disconnect a little bit from tech and to be able to wear a variety of conventional watches. I sold the Ultra 2, but I still needed a fitness tracker for running, weightlifting, and Peloton so I set out to try a few alternatives. I first tried a Garmin watch, and while it was decent, I didn't really love their app interface. I tried a highly reviewed Coros watch and had a similar experience. Then it occurred to me that I could just get a "lower end" Apple Watch with it's familiar interface and reliability. Since I only wear it during workouts, battery life isn't an issue. It's small and lightweight, which is nice for working out. I still connect everything to the Strava app because I like the was it tracks and sorts a variety of different workouts. All in all, this was perfect for me - cheaper than Garmin or Coros, a familiar interface, and typical Apple quality.

Apple products have a great reputation, and of course, its excellent. This model has improved battery life, and. more functions. I love the connectivity to other. devices.Only improvement needed would be to have a more user friendly strap. This type of wrist strap is harder for older people to put on . But online there are elastic bands for cheap.

The Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is comfortable and user-friendly. Its sleek, lightweight design makes it easy to wear all day without discomfort. The interface is intuitive, and navigating apps and features is a breeze. Since I’ve had it, I honestly can’t imagine going without it. It keeps me connected, tracks my fitness, and helps me stay organized easily. If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish, and practical smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE is a great choice!

The Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is an excellent choice for those looking for a quality smartwatch without the high price tag. The 44mm size is perfect for a comfortable fit, and the GPS feature works flawlessly. It tracks workouts, notifications, and health metrics efficiently. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a feature-packed Apple Watch at a more affordable price!

Battery life’s good ,watch good quality, I like it

Some people say the battery life on this isn’t good but from my experience from using it, it’s lasted me all day and then some. It charges pretty fast with a 20w brick. Perfect for keeping track on calories, sleep, and general notifications if you can’t check your phone. It’s been very nice to have a reminder on my wrist to tell me to stand up and move after sitting in a chair for too long.

I received this watch for Christmas and really like it. It does everything and need plus more. It is easy to set up. I haven’t learned nearly all of the functions yet but am learning daily. I like that you can set up your watch face, see texts, answer your phone (if it is close by), etc.

Overall, it's doing what it's supposed to. Bought this as a gift for my teenage son. He wanted a fitness tracking watch to count his steps throughout the day and knew that I liked my Apple Watches. It functions perfectly for him. There's debate all over the internet about the Apple watch quality vs other brands. I've had the other brands and will never go back. The battery life sucks in Apple watches. Why can't they last longer than one day? But, if you don't mind charging your watch every day, it's not bad. As a fitness tracker, I love the auto tracking options, as well as the built in and manual functions. So far, it has been scratch resistant. My first gen Apple watch was a little more susceptible to scratches that my 7 and this one. The biggest gripe is that Apple no longer includes the charging block.
