Apple Watch SE (2022) review: The best smartwatch $250 can buy
Though the SE’s underside is made from a nylon composite and sapphire crystal instead of the ceramic on its predecessor and the Series 8, I didn’t even realize there was a difference until I scrutinized the spec sheet.water resistant at up to 50 meters. It also uses an older heart rate monitor than the other two, but comes with the same S8 system-in-a-package processor, as well as an onboard high-g accelerometer that makes crash detection possible.
Besides the lack of a skin temperature sensor, the main difference between this year’s Watch SE and its more premium siblings, is that it doesn’t have an Always On Display . This just means you’ll have to lift your wrist to see things like the time, how long you’ve been working out or a notification that just came through. It does take a second for the Watch SE to wake up and show me what I’m looking for, but it never felt too laggy.
Despite packing an older heart rate monitor than the Series 8 and Watch Ultra, the SE didn’t take significantly longer to deliver a reading. Frankly, for the most part, I couldn’t tell that there was any difference between the SE and the Series 7 I had been wearing for a year. Missing features like the ECG and blood oxygen apps weren’t things I used much anyway.One area where the SE lagged pricier Apple Watches is battery life.
