Apple Watch SE has all the essentials

Like the iPhone SE, Apple designed the Watch SE for those who want to dabble in smartwatches at an affordable starting price. Although you're missing a bit compared to the more expensive timepieces, the Apple Watch SE has a generous suite of health, fitness, and connectivity features packed into a sleek frame.

It's powered by Apple's S8 dual-core chip, which offers 20% better performance than the first generation. The chip enables Apple's core health and fitness tracking functions, from monitoring heart rate to measuring sleep. You're also getting newer features like fall and crash detection, plus emergency SOS.

The Watch SE is compelling against the pricier Apple Watch Series 8 (also on sale for Prime Day). It looks nearly the same and equips you with the key features of the flagship models, including an optical heart-rate monitor and 50-meter water resistance.

The SE is ideal for those seeking basic health-tracking functionality without the high-end price tag. The Series 8 gives you even more depth and accuracy with its additional ECG, body temperature, and blood oxygen sensors, but not everyone needs these.
