It will be nice if Apple updated the focus mode in Apple Watch to automatically switch to low power mode when a particular focus starts. This is available on the iPhone but not on the Apple Watch.
Hi mate, great video, I appreciate how you get straight to the point without too much unnecessary fluff. Just bought the SE 2 and passed my SE 1 (which is still in great condition) onto a family member. The difference in responsiveness with the S8 chip is definitely noticeable.
Hi there, I’m about to buy an Apple Watch but not sure about this; • Apple Watch SE Nike (2020) GPS + Cellular model and it’s 5,700 TRY • Apple Watch SE (2022) GPS model and it’s 6,000 TRY It is good and important that the 2022 model lasts longer, but it is also very good and important that the 2020 model has the Cellular feature. I'm so undecided on what to do, any ideas?
Thanks for the video. SE 1 has all of the essential features and i will probably get another one in 2 years. Just got a SE 1 for $149.99 at Wal Mart! Black friday deals!
Great video-just picked up the SE1, and it’s awaiting shipment. The cellular model version saved me approximately $120 (Canadian) versus SE2, so it made sense. Also, with an iPhone XS, I’m not one to complain about having a slower chip 😅
I got to say that my fav feature of the Apple Watch is definitely my ability to control my iPhone and AirPods Pro’s by extension when I’m listening to music at work 🤭
@mjoshss As a student i’d choose the SE 1 just because it’s cheaper lol. I’d still have the basic functions needed for basic tasks. I love how the essentials are already on hand, such as the heart rate monitor. Though the chip on the S2 will be more worth it as the update support will last longer.
I’m considering the SE 2 because of the crash and falling down detection and I’m getting to that age….. also for checking blood pressure and heartbeat because I’ve had an irregular heartbeat in the past.
We brought my grandpa a series 7 last Christmas he didn’t really care for it until match of this year, he fell at home alone and his watch saved him. Man hasn’t taken it off since. So I really support older people getting one
Just picked up an SE1 for 150 from Walmart after reading that it’s essentially the same watch. Absolute steal IMO, same price as a Fitbit charge 5 but syncs better with my other Apple products like AirPods/beats and phone, and is also an interface im already familiar with, having owned the original Apple Watch. Super excited for it to come in! Really just needed a watch for fitness tracking and so I wouldn’t have to take my phone on runs, and this fulfills both purposes. I don’t need all the extra features of the newer watches- I’m only going to have this watch on for workouts as I really love my actual analog watches for daily wear. I’ll probably just wear this at night and for my workout which I do as soon as I wake up early in the morning for sleep and workout tracking.
That’s the same exact reason I’m considering the SE1. When I’m at the gym, I’d either have to hold my phone or use an old school arm band for my phone. The one I have barely fits my phone and I’d definitely have to take my phone cover off to use it. Not to mention, I can’t wear it the normal way and control music. So I was considering an Apple watch so I can start closing these fitness rings! The slower processing was noticeable in this video- not sure how I feel about the lag vs cost savings. But I can at least go to Walmart and check the SE1 out.
Thanks for this video. At the shop it was very difficult to see the difference between SE and SE2 models. Will now go back and make sure I get the SE2 watch.
my favourite feature is the alarm, which sounds like such a small thing, but i find that it wakes me up way easier than my phone as it vibrates on my wrist
Costco is still selling new se1’s. I bought one a few months ago and find it adequate. Very reliable on notifying me of txts and calls. Also multiple timers help when cooking
I just got my son and wife se1 for 150$ brand new Black Friday ! Good price my wife’s upgrade from series 3 she dosnt care about tech but needed a upgrade and my son just wants one
i upgraded from apple watch 3 38mm to apple watch watch 44mm. What I like most is that it has a bigger screen and it has a faster processor. have had it for 1 year now and still have 99 in battery health
Main reason why got the SE2 was for the crash detection I had the regular SE model which didn’t know gave it to my daughter I really wanted the newer models but cost to much
Just received my SE2 today gave my SE to my daughter not seeing always on display on the 2 does it have 1? The newest models cost too much so this was the 2nd best for me
Own the Apple Watch SE first generation,probably will not switch to the newest SE.Waiting for Apple Watch Third Generation,hope they’ll make some changes on third generation.
Hi Dion! I don’t know which one to choose. I found the SE 1st gen for $139 on walmart vs $219 for SE 2nd gen on amazon. Which one is the best investment, i don’t want a lot, i am a basic user, just to see the time, sleep, heart rate, reply to messages and that’s it. Could you help me?
Hi Nathan, good question. From “investment” perspective the SE2 is best, but if you are a first timer, wanting to give it a shot I would go for the SE 1.
The best thing for Apple watch was the notifications. I am a student so I have to mute my phone, which most of the time I would miss the calls and messages
After watching this I’ll be going with the SE 2 44mm until something drastically different comes out better then the 8 or Ultra comes out . I’m upgrading from a Series 3 42mm
I have iphone 14 pro max, air pod pro gen 2, and se1 apple watch 44mm for 170. felt that i just wanted something to track my fitness stuff and nothing to crazy. yes it has a better cpu in the se2 but what i need it for does not require a better cpu really.
@jaaakin I feel like apple really did make it fair with the downgrade in features, for the price point. It just seems like you get a great product for the price and the features you might miss out on are not worth the higher price.
I'm really tempted on going the S1 route, currently it's a 200 to 250 euro difference... For notifications and fitness should be enough. Thanks for your video!
my se1 screen has significant damage to the display (huge cracks) to the point where parts of the screen are not responsive to my touch. The cost to repair it would result in them just giving me a refurbished SE1. I'm wondering if I may as well just get an SE2 at this point, especially since the SE3 is not coming in 2024, or if I'm better off stepping up to an S9 or S10
Just picked up the SE 1 model 40mm case for $75 on the used market. In very good shape, was rose gold color, but I just put a black bumper case on because I didn't like the color. Being a guy, would of preferred the grey or silver, but with the bumper case, no one will ever know.
I bought the SE1 because it was only $159 at Walmart with cellular as an option and 44mm screen. Great value option coming from the series 3 and the processor is twice as fast.
I’ve had three se 1 since August of “22 and I’m picking up my forth to morrow. I don’t know why they keep failing. I’m very discouraged and disappointed in Apple 😒
Hi, that is very strange indeed. One of the reasons of its success is its reliability. Swimming is not a good idea I noticed, but that mistake only happens once. So three in half a year is very disappointing
@@DionMedia I guess I need to contact apple and find out why the other ones failed. But I’m going to spend a goodly amount on a waterproof case for this one.
Hello there,can someone give me advise,never had a apple watch and i want to buy one but iam curious which one to get: Se 1,Se 2 or series 7 i want go kinda on a low budget not go that crazy
I am afraid my accent gave me away. Ja, ik ben Nederlander. De video is, denk ik, vrij duidelijk. Doe het niet, tenzij het heel goedkoop wordt aangeboden
Back in 2021 I had the Se watch that was terrible it never hold a full charge during the day! Sent it back but then I got the series 3 2022 and it’s really really nice, charged great features… now the se2 I’m not sure if this would be my next upgrade no pun intended here But only “TIME” lol will tell🙃😃
Im thinkig of getting an apple watch for fitness but i dont know what to get because now in my country i can get a series 7 45mm the nike one for 360, but im also looking at the SE 2 that i can get for 330 wich one should i get?
I tend to cover my watch with my jersey or jacket sleeve, so when I have to check my watch I naturally touch it to turn it on so the always on display is just be an unnecessary battery drain, unless you always have dirty or occupied hands😅
Hi! I just looking for a video of the difference between the Apple watch se and se 2, thank you for the great video and information!💛 I choose to buy the 2nd generation))
I picked the Series 5 cause it won't be available anymore and it had the same chipset as the Series SE 2020 than the latest series SE 2022..and it might be the luckiest person who got the oldest and still support Apple Watch after my Series 6 I got in 2021 and the Series 5 will be to my eldest brother who wanted an Apple Watch for his first time ever after getting his iPhone 11 Pro Max.
I just got the SE1 (GPS + Cellular) at Walmart for $120 dollars. Really couldn't justify spending twice as much for the SE2. That being said, I was only looking for an upgrade to my Fit-bit Charge 5, so it's still an upgrade either way 😂
Fellow Apple Watch users, what is a feature you'd like to see added to the Apple Watch? 🤔
I think apple should add blood pressure tool to apple watches. I’m not sure if they have it yet, but it would be a nice feature
Blood sugar, sleep apnea detection w Sp02 (not just o2 data),
Hey Dion. This guy over me tries to scam people on a lot of ur vids. Just a headsup
It will be nice if Apple updated the focus mode in Apple Watch to automatically switch to low power mode when a particular focus starts. This is available on the iPhone but not on the Apple Watch.
Aaaand the comment is gone haha
I just upgraded from the series 1 from 2016 2017 to the SE 1 (from back market) love it so far
Love how clear you explain the differences of the watches. Would love to have the SE soon.

I love that you can play yo music with out having yo phone ❤
Why not buying a gps+cellular SE 1 instead of a gps only SE 2 ?
I really like the variety of the wallpaper inthe apple watch
my favourite feature is the alarm, which sounds like such a small thing, but i find that it wakes me up way easier than my phone as it vibrates on my wrist
The 1st Gen SE is on sale at Walmart for $149.
Costco is still selling new se1’s. I bought one a few months ago and find it adequate. Very reliable on notifying me of txts and calls. Also multiple timers help when cooking
Thanks for the comparison. I’m currently debating between the two… upgrading from the 3.
I just got my son and wife se1 for 150$ brand new Black Friday ! Good price my wife’s upgrade from series 3 she dosnt care about tech but needed a upgrade and my son just wants one
So for health wise the 7 or 8 series are better?
Winner Dm
hello. Is it worth an Apple watch like series 5 just for notifications and clock? thanks
Dion, what about the plastic back on the SE2? Should we worry about durability, like scratches?
Great video and comparison! I just upgraded my super old Series 4 for a “like new” SE1. Paid $150.
Hi Wade, thank you!
Should have waited. Brand new se 1 on sale for 149 at Walmart
I just bought the SE 1 at Walmart for $150. Like it a lot, and it looks like they still have plenty more to sell.
I bought my first ever Apple Watch SE 1 generation! Hope that I will enjoy it 😊
i upgraded from apple watch 3 38mm to apple watch watch 44mm. What I like most is that it has a bigger screen and it has a faster processor. have had it for 1 year now and still have 99 in battery health
Hey! I am very grateful for winning the giveaway❤️
@@simonkarlsson4654 it’s fake
Form your video I got clarity that I should buy se 2 thank you....
Hi Sharath, glad I could help
@@DionMedia Thank you sir for selecting me....
I just bought almost new Series 7 for the same price as SE2, which has a lot less features. So I dont think its worth the price.
I really like the crash detection and the emergency SOS via satellite feature.
Main reason why got the SE2 was for the crash detection I had the regular SE model which didn’t know gave it to my daughter I really wanted the newer models but cost to much
I enjoy you informative videos, I went from a series 5 , 40mm to SE 2 , 44mm , I love the large screen, which was the main reason for upgrading. 🍏
Hi Vicky, thanks for the feedback!
Just got my first Apple Watch this past weekend, I decided to go with the SE 2 it fits my need’s perfectly
Hi Tom, enjoy!
Thank you, the first Apple Watch not sponsored by apple and hence not about the ultra. A review for 90% of users.
Thanks! But I did a Ultra review as well :)
Whats the difference between 2022/21 and 2023??
What happens when the updates end for the SE1? Does Apple send a self destruct signal to it?
Please do not give them any ideas:). When the updates end, you slowly lose some of the functionalities.
They already did 😭😭
Just ordered the SE2 today after watching this video.
Hi Scott, enjoy it!
Using se from march 2022 it is amazing have every good feature just miss always on display
SE2 will NOT work on my iPhone 7 so if I can find 1st gen somewhere I might buy it
I have been waiting for the “diabetic” monitor readings, even if it is only an indication rather than than a precise reading.
i like the apple pay feature on the watch
Just received my SE2 today gave my SE to my daughter not seeing always on display on the 2 does it have 1? The newest models cost too much so this was the 2nd best for me
Enjoy!
my favourite feature of the apple watch is the crash detection
Own the Apple Watch SE first generation,probably will not switch to the newest SE.Waiting for Apple Watch Third Generation,hope they’ll make some changes on third generation.
I am thinking which one I should choose as my first Apple Watch.
Hi Dion! I don’t know which one to choose. I found the SE 1st gen for $139 on walmart vs $219 for SE 2nd gen on amazon. Which one is the best investment, i don’t want a lot, i am a basic user, just to see the time, sleep, heart rate, reply to messages and that’s it. Could you help me?
Hi Nathan, good question. From “investment” perspective the SE2 is best, but if you are a first timer, wanting to give it a shot I would go for the SE 1.
Se1 will not get updates anymore. Probably the larger reason to not buy it
Hmm can u change the account and iphone with apple watch and still keep the data
I assume you are referring to the iCloud account. This is not possible as the Iphone is paired to one specific ICloud account
@@DionMedia hmm i see would health data be removed from the iphone when the watch is unpaired or something
The best thing for Apple watch was the notifications. I am a student so I have to mute my phone, which most of the time I would miss the calls and messages

@11ljay…SE1 > I love the Matt finish on the back SE2> Thiner bezels and new chip. It’s a pity they don’t come with “Always On”

Fall detection is why I bought it and my 1st Apple Watch.
Walmart is selling brand new se1 44m for 180

I brought the Apple Watch SE in 2020 and it stopped upgrading I’m mad right now but it’s still works soo im not gonna buy another Apple Watch
Difference between both
My favorite feature about the Apple Watch is basically it being the first watch I’m gonna ever own . 🙂
Great content, very informative. I am going to get SE (1st gen) soon
Thanks! And enjoy the SE (why not the second generation?)

the second-generation SE has the newest S8 SiP, the same processor that's in the Apple Watch Series 8 and Ultra.

HI Sasha, my pleasure, glad the video was useful
when will the apple watch se 2020 stop updates?
According to Apple in 2027. It does not mean that after that date the Watch will stop working, but gradually it will lose some functionalities
Just bought the original se 40mm for $150 at Walmart brand new not refurbished.
Do se 1 still get up dates
Most likely Apple will continue updates a few more years
Nice video! Still thinking which one to buy 😊
Good luck with the thinking process:)
I am getting the SE2

i think you compared a refurbished to new
Hi, no I did not
I just got the SE1 (GPS + Cellular) at Walmart for $120 dollars. Really couldn't justify spending twice as much for the SE2. That being said, I was only looking for an upgrade to my Fit-bit Charge 5, so it's still an upgrade either way 😂
yes it is!
My Walmart has them on sale for $109 plus an employee discount 😮💨 yeaaa it’s gettin bought regardless
Mine must be SE1, cause it came as a gift. But I still love it. But no worries, SE2 will be gifted when SE3 is announced.
Send a text on which no. ?
