just got SE 2 and im happy with the decision. it was affordable and i didn’t even think about getting anything else. i mainly got it for fitness, it’s amazing.
I just wanna track calories burned accurately at the gym and steps. Nothing else so I think the se2 will do the job for me too wanted to get a Fitbit but seen Apple Watches are more accurate at hr and sleep tracking I also got an iPhone so..
I agree the SS should be cheaper when you look at the ultra and everything that is picking. Was looking at upgrading my s4 to a SS s8 but that price is really putting me off. Shame the SE doesn’t come in a SS
Just pre ordered the SE, it'll be my first Apple Watch and for the specs and price this is what will finally get me to buy my first one. I also got the nice Graphite Milanese Loop and Apple Care all under $400. Excited for it to get here. Your vids def helped me in my purchase! Thank you!
Same. As a first watch buyer I had previously been looking at the SE as the obvious choice for my first watch. Now with the upgrades, jumping into the new SE is an absolute no-brainer! The biggest challenge now, is deciding which strap to buy. 🤔
The new Apple Watch SE will actually perform better than the Series 8 since it's less demanding, but the performance is gonna be negligible in most cases. Regarding temperature feature, I'm sure Apple can add software updates in future so that it displays room temperature and also takes body temperature readings on request. There are two sensors, one for room and one for body - so it's technically possible that Apple can do a lot more things with this hardware.
You are about the only person that made mention of the fact that the S2 does NOT have a keyboard which may be a deal breaker for many people. As always, great vid.
I actually bought both the Apple watch 8 and The SE2. I bought the Watch 8 first and realized that the features I needed were on the SE2 for about $250 less because Verizon only offer the Cellular and GPS models, an additional $180 yearly plus tax. I never opened the Apple 8 and sending it back to Verizon, the SE2 I bought directly from Apple, had the watch in less than 24 hours; super fast delivery. I do not need the cellular watch because I alway carry my Iphone and two cellular devices on me at one time is a bit of over kill.
was thinking SE vs 8 for my first smart watch. Glad to hear the recommendation and the fact those health functions were not used often. then it is clear the SE
just to add here I am wearing my g shock everyday and I guess I will need be prepare for "charging my watch almost everyday" (as you mentioned in other previous video) 🙂
With regards to scratch proof glass I always install a 3rd party glass protector on my watch so I never have to worry about scratching or breaking the glass and like for $10 it’s a good investment.
I was originally going to get the S8 because I love to have as many features but after watching this and thinking about for a moment, it looks like Ill be going with the SE!
Hi dear Greg, I currently still have my Apple Watch Series 3; in constant use and in impeccable, pristine perfect condition as has always been well looked-after by myself. Should I perhaps consider an SE Watch, please ? ~ Thank you.
I am still using my Apple Watch Series 3 which was purchased in Jan 2018. Although it is running slow now, it is still doing good during my workout. The battery is still at 93% of peak performance. Personally, I will wait till next year for the Series 9, and I am looking forward to some big changes in the S9 model.
I went for the Series 8 because I have not upgraded since Series 3. Figured it’s time. I was tempted by the Ultra, but decided against it because it seems pretty bulky. YMMV.
Exactly what i want to do but I'm torn between the se and the series 8. Do i need all those health functions? Do i need better performance? What if the se dies sooner than expected? Those are what i have to consider still. What do you think i should do?
But what if you decide after let’s say 3 months that you miss always on display feature? You’re gonna sell it and lose money on such transaction? Come on
@@PiErDzoncy7 Hey mate. I’ve had my SE2 since Christmas and I gotta say, I don’t care about the always on display. I’m really happy with my SE2 as is. It does everything I need.
Getting my SE tomorrow. I really see no point in getting the 8 since all I want to do is track my activity. The smaller screen isn’t that big of a deal to me and isn’t worth the extra $200 upgrade just for that.
Im a samung galaxy watch user. Recently shifted to IOS and apple ecosystem. Im still striggling to chose bw SE2 and Series 8. I prefer which will give more OS support to stay relevant for yeras to come?
The difference in the display with the screen going right to the edge in the 8 is the deciding factor for me. Just looks so much cleaner and better than the SE
I’m looking to buy an Apple Watch for the first time, I currently own a iPhone 12, is the crash detection on the series 8 a solid reason to buy or should I get a series 7
I don’t have a Apple Watch as yet but plan on owning one, however I would really like to get some feedbacks wit experience users on this watch with how many years will my $400 watch last for? How long until the battery degrades wit daily uses? And wats it like having to take off you watch everyday or two to charge it back up?
I was really confused between SE and watch 7 last year and I’m so glad I went with SE.I have been using my SE for the last one year along with my iPhone 13 and I must say it’s great. I don’t like the always on display so Series 7 didn’t have much to offer over SE. Got the 41mm gold one with milanese loop and it looks lovely.
You don’t need to keep the always on display enabled. I was debating between the SE and 7 as well. Tested the SE for about 2 months and traded it in for the 7. Haven’t looked back since
I honestly just wanted the watch to connect my airpods when I go for a run and not carry my phone. I don't see myself using it very often so I will be choosing the SE as my first watch.
This was an amazing review! You explained the differences so clearly. Thank you!! I will be getting my first Apple watch today. I think the SE would be a great choice right now, especially since the chip is exactly the same as the 8. I don’t need all the features the 8 provides lol. Will keep you posted on my thoughts once I get it! 😊
1st time having a Apple Watch . Trying to decide between the SE 2 (would only be paying $15 a month ) or the Series 8 ( about $35) both cellular the only reason I'm not 100% for SE is no keyboard 😩 . I don't care for all the extra health . I'll be using it for the basics lol. What would you recommend?
I don't get it. I have the iwatch series 6 and have yet to notice any slowness or speed issues yet. So a 20 percent improvement of speed wouldn't matter to me. The battery life is more important to me.
I just want a watch (doesn’t necessarily have to be an Apple Watch) for exercise (heart rate, gym, biking, etc. so that I can use it with Strava). I don’t care about notifications or anything else Apple-related. If the SE2 is the best choice for me, I can dig it but if not suggestions for something else?
This video is so helpful! I've been weighing the differences between Apple Watch Series 8 and the new SE. You stated the differences so clearly and effectively. Thank you!
Heey!! I am going to the gym so for me the accuracy of calories are really important. You said that the 8 series has better sensors or something like that. To be honest that’s the only thing that s keeping me from buying the SE version and I would like to know if there s any difference between that as specifically posibile 😊😊😊 (by that I mean if you could give me an example if that s the case). ( english is not my mother language and I hope that everything I said is right *sorry for possible mistakes*) ❤️
Upgrade from a Apple Watch 3 to the new SE. Absolutely love it. Fortunate to not need all the other fancy health benefits the 8 offers and all I really wanted was a newer watch to track workouts/fitness rings. Perfect 👍
That's all I want, too. Never owned one before, but SE seems like the perfect choice since all I want to do is close my rings! I don't need any fancy bells and whistles, just the great motivation the Fitness app brings me. 😊
I've pre-ordered a Series 8 last Thursday. Never had a smartwatch, so I am curious if it'll impact my life, health and fitness. The bigger screen and the native keyboard gave it the edge over the SE.
A bigger screen isn't necessarily better when it comes to smartwatches. It depends on how big your wrist is. The largest size Apple Watch will look bulky and stupid on a person with a small wrist. And even some people with bigger wrists prefer the smaller screen because it weighs like 2x less than the bigger option. Best thing to do is just try it on in the store to determine your preference.
Just brought my first Apple Watch. Chose the SE 2nd Generation. Also, have a Fitbit Sense 2 smartwatch. I wear them both. Health wise, whatever one won’t do, the other will. Love them both.
Don’t know why but the slimmer bezel makes me want the S8 much more tan SE, I get it the save on money but preferred the slender look even if it’s the same dimensions on paper.
If you’ve never had an Apple Watch , concerned that they are a bit pricey and you have a small wrist which one would you get ? I have an iPhone 11 🤷🏽♀️( should I upgrade my phone first?) should I buy the watch from my cellphone provider (AT&T) or somewhere else? Cellular or just gps? Help! 😊
I’ve had the se for a few days now and I love it. I got the watch to track calories more accurately when I work out and through the day, some of the other features are pretty cool such as the heart rate monitor and tracking sleep. If you’re just looking for something simple the se is great
did you get the se 2 or se? I'm currently on the market for a new apple watch and i've been binging on review videos lol So just asking around for some recs :)
I have the last gen SE for my daughter, my fiancé has the Series 5 SS, and I have the Series 7 Titanium. I pre-ordered the ultra. I'm looking forward to the brighter display, longer battery life, louder speaker for calls (when I don't have my phone on me), new navigation features, design and raised edges over the sapphire crystal. I was hoping the temperature sensor would be used to track possible signs of sickness, but obviously that's not the case.
Don’t worry I’m pretty confident that will be something that becomes a reality in a later software update. Yes Apple said as of now it’s only being utilized for womens health tracking periods and ovulation. But I’m surprised all these UA-cam reviewers keep saying that’s all it will be used for and probably isn’t important for anyone else. Especially someone who specializes in reviewing Apple products. We have seen this countless times where these features turn up in future updates. That’s not to put you down Greg. I love your videos, keep up the great content! 👍🏻 and good luck with your Apple Watch ultra. Pretty jealous. Maybe in the future I’ll be able to drop the cash for one. Cheers 🍻
I am prone to heat stroke, and I thought the temperature tracking would alert me before I get too hot and faint or for me to keep an eye on my own rising temperature. But to tell me about my nonexistent eggs, it's pointless. Although I would be interested in the always-on screen. But an extra $150 for that is steep.
great video....after watching this i am leaning to the series 8..i am a first time Apple watch buyer.. 58 years old and not that tech savy ( thank god for utube lol )...thx again for your video....cheers from Canada
I had the Apple Watch SE for around 7 months. I just upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 8. There is two features I can’t use (Blood Oxygen App) and ECG App. Apple says “People under 18 and 22 don’t need to use these apps.” Well, where did it say that when I bought it? I think that pert is stupid. Otherwise, I’m happy with my Series 8 upgrade.
I’m so excited, I ordered the cellular SE 2 on Saturday! My first Apple Watch because at this price point it’s finally accesible. I’m still happy with my iPhone 11.
@@AJ-zo4pr No regrets here, the SE2 has been a great companion. I would have no use for the extra features the AW8 has. I walk every morning with my dog, so there’s the use of step tracking and such. I use it continuously throughout the day at work with music/podcasts/texts/checking emails while my phone stays in my backpack. At the end of my 8 to 10 hour work shift, the watch has around 30%-40% battery left which I think is great. The AW8 wouldn’t bring anything to the table for me.
@@AJ-zo4pr Sure did! When I go on my daily walks, I leave my phone at home. I plan on squeezing out 2 more years from my iPhone 11 which I got in 2019. The phone still performs great and the battery life isn’t too annoying. Having the watch is really helping stretch the life of the phone.
SE is what I’d like to get. Am only using it for travel to avoid using my iPhone in public especially now a days and most especially in Asia, iPhone is high risk in public. Thanks for this video. Helped me to decide which is more practical 😊
I have a series 3, but I believe upgrading to the SE2 is a better choice for me. Cost less, and there are features on the series 8 I don’t need. If I want a constant display on my watch, I will wear one of my “real” watches.
Excellent and to the point video. I think i’ll go for SE as my first apple watch. As i dont need the fancy stuff, will use it fir fitness only and wear my regular watch for office and formal occasions. Thanks
I am planning to buy an apple watch but still unable to decide on what model. I have irregular heart beat (pulse missing very rarely). What I am scared of is that whether these watches will unnecessarily alarm me for seeking urgent medical attention while I am driving. Keeping this in my mind, I think SE will be ideal for me.
If the SE had the temperature detection for cycle tracking I would be sold! But that and the bevel size are the only things keeping me interested in the series 8. 🤪 but I don’t think either of those things make it worth the extra $150
How long does the battery last? Compare to a Fitbit? I know some people don’t like Apple Watches because you have to charge everyday compare to fitbit.
Just upgraded from my series 3 38mm to a series 8 45mm. Only reason why, the series 8 was 409.99 for Prime Day on amazon. Price from Apple 569.99 (CANADA pricing)
Dude your awesome I’m still debating on what watch I’m new to the whole Apple watch I only want one of them because I need help reminding my self of my appointments on my calendar but also texting and calling so I’m stil fighting my self
Preordered the new se, cuz I really need that heart rate sensor for running, and as a college student and for my experience I don’t necessarily need that always on display (when I need to know the time walking, I’ll have to raise my arm anyway, and when I’m sitting I have the laptop for time)
Great video. I'm still using an AW series 3 and it's impossibly slow. I've never been a big fan of the AW, and only use it at the gym, so I don't feel like spending a lot of money on a disposable accessory would be very wise in my case. The fact that the SE has the latest chip makes it very enticing, especially at that price point. Looking forward to seeing one in person when it eventually gets released here in South Korea.
I ordered the Series 8 in stainless steel. A bit annoying that it's the same price as the Apple Watch Ultra, but at the same time the Ultra was really no option for me (it's just way too big and bulky).
Always on display is a deal breaker for me. Still on an S3 (it refuses to die), and the lack of an AOD is annoying. For that reason, when I do replace it, it'll be the series 8 (or 9 or whatever is current at the time), but not the SE.
Still rocking my series 4, really want to upgrade and waited for the series 8, but clearly the 7 will be a more financially sound option given the limited/non existent benefits of the 8…. The ultra, not needed and clearly the second iteration of the ultra in a years time will make this one redundant anyhow….. so Black Friday, I will be shopping for a well priced series 7….. but do I get a green one or a blue one?! 🤔🤔
@@theapplebizz1057 Oh wow, that’s good. I’m still on my series 4, but am looking to upgrade myself and will hand my watch down to family (my mum is still using my original 1st Gen. Watch!). Blood oxygen and temperature sensing isn’t needed, but the heart rhythm tracking is (due to health reasons). I’d be happy to get a stainless steel gold series 7 for £550.

I bought both and returned the 8 series because the $150 extra was not worth the 1 or 2 extra features. As always, great vid.
Whatever you do think twice before you buy the stainless steel series 8 because it seems to be a total rip off compared to the Ultra.
I mention that in the video. Same price no exclusive features… but it does look nice 😅
@@GregsGadgets they really should’ve dropped the price on the stainless steel this year because of the ultra being the same price now.
I’d take the stainless steel model any day rather than the ugly Ultra.Sticking with my stainless steel series 7 anyway.
The Ultra is so ugly! I’ve had the titanium edition, and the dullness of the titanium made it so hard to match with bands!
I agree the SS should be cheaper when you look at the ultra and everything that is picking. Was looking at upgrading my s4 to a SS s8 but that price is really putting me off. Shame the SE doesn’t come in a SS
My series 7 is still pretty good…I’ll wait a few more years to move to another model. But the ultra is amazing, no doubt

I have the last gen SE for my daughter, my fiancé has the Series 5 SS, and I have the Series 7 Titanium. I pre-ordered the ultra. I'm looking forward to the brighter display, longer battery life, louder speaker for calls (when I don't have my phone on me), new navigation features, design and raised edges over the sapphire crystal. I was hoping the temperature sensor would be used to track possible signs of sickness, but obviously that's not the case.
Don’t worry I’m pretty confident that will be something that becomes a reality in a later software update. Yes Apple said as of now it’s only being utilized for womens health tracking periods and ovulation. But I’m surprised all these UA-cam reviewers keep saying that’s all it will be used for and probably isn’t important for anyone else. Especially someone who specializes in reviewing Apple products. We have seen this countless times where these features turn up in future updates. That’s not to put you down Greg. I love your videos, keep up the great content! 👍🏻 and good luck with your Apple Watch ultra. Pretty jealous. Maybe in the future I’ll be able to drop the cash for one. Cheers 🍻
I am prone to heat stroke, and I thought the temperature tracking would alert me before I get too hot and faint or for me to keep an eye on my own rising temperature. But to tell me about my nonexistent eggs, it's pointless. Although I would be interested in the always-on screen. But an extra $150 for that is steep.
great video....after watching this i am leaning to the series 8..i am a first time Apple watch buyer.. 58 years old and not that tech savy ( thank god for utube lol )...thx again for your video....cheers from Canada
It's my first apple watch still only two days to arrive to me I'm insisting to have it that Apple watch s8 any tips guy?!
Any tips Greg?!
I had the Apple Watch SE for around 7 months. I just upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 8. There is two features I can’t use (Blood Oxygen App) and ECG App. Apple says “People under 18 and 22 don’t need to use these apps.” Well, where did it say that when I bought it? I think that pert is stupid. Otherwise, I’m happy with my Series 8 upgrade.
Just got my Apple Watch SE over the weekend! Glad I made the right choice!
Enjoy it
I’m so excited, I ordered the cellular SE 2 on Saturday! My first Apple Watch because at this price point it’s finally accesible. I’m still happy with my iPhone 11.
Do you regret not buying the 8
@@AJ-zo4pr No regrets here, the SE2 has been a great companion. I would have no use for the extra features the AW8 has.
I walk every morning with my dog, so there’s the use of step tracking and such. I use it continuously throughout the day at work with music/podcasts/texts/checking emails while my phone stays in my backpack. At the end of my 8 to 10 hour work shift, the watch has around 30%-40% battery left which I think is great.
The AW8 wouldn’t bring anything to the table for me.
@@davecerv great bro I’m also thinking to buy se 2022
@@davecerv you bought cellular?
@@AJ-zo4pr Sure did! When I go on my daily walks, I leave my phone at home. I plan on squeezing out 2 more years from my iPhone 11 which I got in 2019. The phone still performs great and the battery life isn’t too annoying. Having the watch is really helping stretch the life of the phone.
SE is what I’d like to get. Am only using it for travel to avoid using my iPhone in public especially now a days and most especially in Asia, iPhone is high risk in public. Thanks for this video. Helped me to decide which is more practical 😊
Taking my ultra back and getting the series 8 due to the weight. Yep, I’m picky. The 45mm screen does seem nice on the 8 vs the 44mm on the SE.
I got a series 3 Apple Watch, is it worth upgrading to one of these two, if so which one?
I have a series 3, but I believe upgrading to the SE2 is a better choice for me. Cost less, and there are features on the series 8 I don’t need. If I want a constant display on my watch, I will wear one of my “real” watches.
I’m getting a SE, but I’m upgrading from a series 2 🤣
Honestly you’re gonna love it.
Due to reading a pulse, can it pick up fine on your right wrist, as I wear my watch on the right?
Question, where did you get the wristband for your se watch??
Excellent and to the point video. I think i’ll go for SE as my first apple watch. As i dont need the fancy stuff, will use it fir fitness only and wear my regular watch for office and formal occasions. Thanks
I have the series 7 should I upgrade?
I like your videos. I have the Series 7 and am not upgrading. I will hold off until next yr
I am planning to buy an apple watch but still unable to decide on what model. I have irregular heart beat (pulse missing very rarely).
What I am scared of is that whether these watches will unnecessarily alarm me for seeking urgent medical attention while I am driving.
Keeping this in my mind, I think SE will be ideal for me.
Se2 should of had a aod and the colours suck this time, the dot layout is awful imo.
Will the new SE have the qwerty keyboard available?
If the SE had the temperature detection for cycle tracking I would be sold! But that and the bevel size are the only things keeping me interested in the series 8. 🤪 but I don’t think either of those things make it worth the extra $150
so does the SE modell have a keyboard now or not? didnt relly get that
I watched your video while not signed in and came back here just to give you a Thumbs Up! Thanks for the review.
SE2 or Series 7? Right now the Series 7 is on sale $100 more for cellular
How long does the battery last? Compare to a Fitbit? I know some people don’t like Apple Watches because you have to charge everyday compare to fitbit.
Just upgraded from my series 3 38mm to a series 8 45mm. Only reason why, the series 8 was 409.99 for Prime Day on amazon. Price from Apple 569.99 (CANADA pricing)
What Apple watch was that the SE or the S8 on your wrist ?? And what size ?? Thanks in advance for such an informative and helpful video. 👏🏽
Dude your awesome I’m still debating on what watch I’m new to the whole Apple watch I only want one of them because I need help reminding my self of my appointments on my calendar but also texting and calling so I’m stil fighting my self
Is it normal when you raised your wrist is dimmed for a couple seconds?
one question: Can the sensors on the new Apple watch 8 able to read for people with dark tattoos?
Preordered the new se, cuz I really need that heart rate sensor for running, and as a college student and for my experience I don’t necessarily need that always on display (when I need to know the time walking, I’ll have to raise my arm anyway, and when I’m sitting I have the laptop for time)
I’m waiting til the base watch has like 2-3 day battery life atleast. I’ve already got to many things to charge daily
Great video. I'm still using an AW series 3 and it's impossibly slow. I've never been a big fan of the AW, and only use it at the gym, so I don't feel like spending a lot of money on a disposable accessory would be very wise in my case. The fact that the SE has the latest chip makes it very enticing, especially at that price point. Looking forward to seeing one in person when it eventually gets released here in South Korea.
Latest chip? Series 6 got the same chip as se and 8 just different name
If you only use it at the gym why not go with a garmin/polar?
what size apple watch are u wearing in the video?
Guys, What is about size of models, 41 or 45? What size more preferable for lady? Your opinions and experience.
Amazing video. Very informative.
I have actually considered all these aspects and got series 7 just two days back, as my first Apple Watch.
How would I differentiate between last se and new se?
Nylon is incredibly strong. “Plastic” has cheap and nasty connotations but nylon is an amazing material.
I just got my apple watch series 8 this past Monday and im happy. I got the product 8 41mm version.
Is the Apple Watch SE worth it?
The keyboard is just such a hard feature to overlook, I’ve had the se 1st gen for a year and the addition of a keyboard would be amazing
Just download an app for a keyboard lol
I ordered the Series 8 in stainless steel. A bit annoying that it's the same price as the Apple Watch Ultra, but at the same time the Ultra was really no option for me (it's just way too big and bulky).
Never use apple watch, should i buy s7 or s8?
Always on display is a deal breaker for me. Still on an S3 (it refuses to die), and the lack of an AOD is annoying. For that reason, when I do replace it, it'll be the series 8 (or 9 or whatever is current at the time), but not the SE.
Still rocking my series 4, really want to upgrade and waited for the series 8, but clearly the 7 will be a more financially sound option given the limited/non existent benefits of the 8…. The ultra, not needed and clearly the second iteration of the ultra in a years time will make this one redundant anyhow….. so Black Friday, I will be shopping for a well priced series 7….. but do I get a green one or a blue one?! 🤔🤔
Does Black Friday affect Apple Watch prices?? Because if it does then Im considering buying Series 7.
Had the same thought pattern as you.. I just picked up a brand new series 7 Stainless Steel in gold for £550
@@theapplebizz1057 Oh wow, that’s good. I’m still on my series 4, but am looking to upgrade myself and will hand my watch down to family (my mum is still using my original 1st Gen. Watch!). Blood oxygen and temperature sensing isn’t needed, but the heart rhythm tracking is (due to health reasons). I’d be happy to get a stainless steel gold series 7 for £550.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. I’m a little disappointed they discontinued the blue for the series 8.
You’ve got the right idea
Does the apple watch SE 2 not have the keyboard?
