What do you get with an Apple watch series 7 vs the new Apple watch SE 2022
Don’t forget fast charge. That alone is enough to push you towards the 7. It’s very nice to wake up in the morning after tracking sleep (and still having 35-40% battery left on GPS version) throw it in the charger, take a shower and have some coffee, and have a fully charged watch waiting for in in maybe 45 minutes. Add in AOD and I think it’s worth it. And the sensors are nice to have.

Does the Apple Watch use data?
Only the GPS + Cellular Apple Watch models with a separate data plan use data from your carrier if you don't have your iPhone nearby. Otherwise, Apple Watches are simply extensions of your iPhone that don't use additional cellular data.
Is the Apple Watch waterproof?
No Apple Watch is "waterproof," but models have varying degrees of water resistance, which means they can sustain splashes and submersion down to a certain depth. The second-gen SE, Series 9, and Series 10 can go down as far as 50 meters, or around 164 feet. The Ultra 2 supports depths of 100 meters (328 feet) and 40 meters (131 feet) for recreational dives.
Are the Apple Watch Series 9 and 8 outdated?
No, not at all. Although Apple no longer sells the Series 8 and Series 9 (you may still find them refurbished on the Apple Store or new via third-party retailers), that doesn't mean they're no longer supported. In fact, Apple has a stellar reputation for supporting its products for years past their debut.
The Series 8 and 9 are compatible with the latest operating system, watchOS 11, so many of the software features debuted on the latest models will also be available on the Series 8 once it upgrades to watchOS 11 (support for watchOS 11 goes back to the Series 6). A notable exception is Apple's new sleep apnea detection feature, which is only available on the Series 9 and later devices.

So currently I am between an Apple watch SE 2022 for 300€ or Apple watch series 7 for 400 €.
This would be my first smartwatch and my main interest is heart rate tracking, resting heart rate, exercise tracking and sleep tracking. Am I missing much with 2nd vs 3rd generation optical heart rate sensor ? Spo2 is also cool but I don’t see myself having any use for it. And well the ECG is really cool but I don’t feel I will use it beyond a couple of times.
Also I will probably rotate with other watches for social things, if that helps for the decision.
Don’t forget fast charge. That alone is enough to push you towards the 7. It’s very nice to wake up in the morning after tracking sleep (and still having 35-40% battery left on GPS version) throw it in the charger, take a shower and have some coffee, and have a fully charged watch waiting for in in maybe 45 minutes. Add in AOD and I think it’s worth it. And the sensors are nice to have.
other than the ECG and spo2 sensors, the only real difference is that the Series 7 has an always-on display, which some people find to be an essential feature of a watch.
one nice thing that the new SE (and the Series 8 and Ultra) has over older watches, though, is the ability for the Watch to always use its internal GPS sensor. some people, like me, get highly annoyed if we're carrying our phones while running or hiking because apple always insisted on utilizing the phone's (worse) gps sensor and its battery when available. still weird that they don't just simply let the use decide which one they want to use, but it is progress
Is the watch SE (2022 version debut yesterday not the one last year) better than 7 in terms of spec, feature, build, software and prices?
Is the only difference the always on display, ECG and blood oxygen sensor?
Apple Watch 8 is out of my budget.

It’s a tough decision and I am facing the same thing. The series 7 AOD is important to some but from my findings it’s not a necessity. The ECG and spO2 is another used very little if at all. The two key features for me is the keyboard and very slightly bigger screen.
If you can find a 7 close to the SE price go for it. If not and you want the cheapest option, the SE is a great device. Newest chip and crash detection are a plus.
