I’ve decide to compare a Apple Watch series 11 46mm to SE 40mm and after comparing I saw the series 11 is laggy and the SE 3 isn’t laggy at because I bought the series 11 3-4 days ago and I am comparing to SE 3 one of my relatives watch and after I saw this I tried unpair and repair it worked for a little bit but still and I have a choice to exchange for 42mm or get the SE 3 40mm or Return the watch or get it fixed because I spend around 1719 aed to dollars is 468.07 bucks so any solution because it’s an urgent.

I tried on this Apple Watch in the store a few days ago and liked the size of it. Does anyone know if it’s an SE 3 or Series 11?

I've been using my SE (2022) for almost two years and a half & am now considering upgrading to Series 11 or SE 3.

The Apple Watch SE 3 claims to be "Up to 18 hours", "Up to 32 hours in Low Power Mode" and "Fast-charge capable 0–80% in about 45 minutes ; 15 minutes for up to 8 hours)". But this isn't ideal as my SE is "Up to 18 hours" and "Low Power Mode" according to Apple's comparison website.

The Apple Watch Series 11 claims to be "up to 24 hours", "up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode" and "Fast-charge capable 0–80% in about 30 minutes ; 15 minutes for up to 8 hours)". Which seems more interesting on paper however it seems people are doubting the actual difference in battery life.

I mainly use my watch to record workouts and track sleep nevertheless continuously run into the issue of having low battery. Thus, features like Precision Finding for iPhone vs. Find iPhone, Snorkel, Depth gauge to 6m, Water temperature sensor, Hypertension notifications, ECG app, Blood Oxygen app, Up to 2000 vs. 1000 nits, Wide-angle OLED vs. OLED, LTPO3 vs. LTPO, 42 vs. 40m aluminum case are not that important!

Any advice is appreciated :)

**TLDR** Upgrading from SE (2022) mainly for better battery (workouts + sleep tracking). Don’t care about extra health/display features. On paper Series 11 looks better than SE 3, but is the real-world battery life actually noticeably better, or not worth it?
