Apple Watch SE (2024)

The Apple Watch SE delivers 80% of the Series 10 experience at 60% of the price. You get the same S9 chip, crash detection, fall detection, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and full watchOS 11 — just without the always-on display, ECG, and blood oxygen sensors. For most people, those omissions don't matter day-to-day. The SE is the perfect Apple Watch for first-time buyers, kids (with Family Setup), and anyone who wants iPhone integration without the premium price. At $249, it's the smartwatch sweet spot.
