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
I'm in the market for a new Apple Watch, and I'm torn between the Apple Watch Series 7 and the Apple Watch SE 2022. I am deciding between these two particular watches.
Apple Watch Series 7: 97% capacity battery, 2 year’s old, 45mm, 300USD Pros: Always on display (even though lot of my friends disabled this feature because of battery), more sensors (will I really use it?), fast charging, keyboard (you can download to SE), the seller will give me more bands and protection for the watch, larger screen Cons: Higher price, they are two years old so the battery may go down quickly
Apple Watch SE 2022: 100% capacity battery, almost new, 44mm, 250USD Pros: Longer IOS support, lower price, 100% battery Cons: No keyboard, always on display, sensors, fast charging. Smaller display
Both watches are black. I want them for everyday use, running and going to the gym everyday. The prices are the best for my country.
Thank you for any help!
Hi! I’m looking to buy my first Apple Watch, I’m a competitive swimmer and it seems helpful for tracking and pacing. I don’t really want to spend a whole lot on a watch if I don’t have too, so i’ve been looking at the SE, SE 2 and series 7. I’m definitely opened to refurbished and looking to spend around 200 dollars or maybe less. Thanks!
I’m so stuck!! 2 weeks ago my Fitbit versa took a shit and I can’t live without a watch. The Apple watches you can take phone calls on. But $200 more than the fit bit. So now it’s between the 7 and se. give me your thoughts!!
Hi all
I've decided to take the plunge and get an Apple Watch. I've always worn automatic watches but for a number of reasons I feel like the time is right to make the switch into a more modern option.
My question in, what are people's thoughts on the SE (2nd gen) vs the series 8? I'm in the UK so the price difference is around £160.
I'm a man so the menstrual cycle tech isn't much good to me and I'm not particularly bothered about the dust resistance or the ECG tech.
I'll wear the watch every day for work (I spend a lot of time with clients so I think it'll be easier than checking my iPhone for notifications etc) and I run a lot so I'm hoping it will be useful in terms of the sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring and during actual 3+ hour runs etc.
I suppose the question is: is the extra cost worth it for the always-on screen? Are there any other benefits I've missed? Will the SE be sufficient for what I need?
I'm happy to pay the extra if it's worth it but I was hoping to get some good insight from everyone here.
Thanks!
