Notifications ping pleasantly on your wrist as they arrive in tandem with your iPhone. You get the same version on the Apple Watch SE as all other compatible models, with many different excellent watch faces to display as much or as little information as you want. While Apple has not much changed the design of the Watch since the first version, we are now up to watchOS 9 for the software, and it is much improved. If you get the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi-only model then you must stay connected to your phone or Wi-Fi to receive alerts at all times – but you can still track exercise using GPS and listen to audio offline if you leave your phone at home. Once up and running, you can take calls, play music to headphones, and receive messages and alerts over a 4G connection when not connected to your phone.
In fact, all the hardware features are the same including Apple’s second-generation heart sensor, the W3 wireless chip for connectivity, and great new features such as international emergency calling and international roaming – though the latter two are only on the cellular version of the Watch.Ī cellular model is available for both sizes of Watch for an additional cost, but it will only work with certain service providers and you have to contact them to get it set up. Specs & performanceįor the price, it’s great that the SE 2022 has the same S8 chipset as the more expensive Apple Watch Series 8. I usually used the Watch on vibrate mode only, but if you keep sounds on you get a pleasant ‘ping’ sound when you get notifications, though you can’t customise the sound – it’s the same for every app. Though the Watch can store music and podcasts, you can’t play these through the speaker and must instead pair wireless headphones. The audio is surprisingly loud and crisp, good enough to take phone calls on in a quiet enough environment. There’s a small speaker grille on the left of the watch. It means if you glance down at the SE you can’t see the time, you must raise your arm to turn the screen on or tap the screen.
