Apple Watch SE 3 review: the bargain smartwatch for iPhone
"The new Watch SE 3 costs from 219 (269/$249/A$399), making it one of the cheapest brand-new fully fledged smartwatches available for the iPhone and undercutting the 369 Series 11 and the top-of-the-line 749 Apple Watch Ultra 3. The Watch SE line is updated only every few years and has been good value but was missing some crucial things that make Apple's other watches great."
"The SE 3 has the older Apple Watch design from 2020's Series 6 with smaller screens, larger bezels and a choice of 40mm or 44mm case sizes compared with the current Series watches. The screen is also not quite as bright as the more expensive watches, but that is noticeable only in bright direct sunlight. It is still sharp and good looking."
"The SE 3 has the same S10 chip as the Series 11 and Ultra 3, and is just as responsive. It also has the same excellent touch-free gestures, including double tap and wrist flick, which allow you to dismiss notifications, timers and alarms easily. The watch also supports all the rest of the general Apple Watch features in watchOS 26, including Apple Pay contactless payments, rich notifications, music control, third-party apps and a range of watch faces."
The Watch SE 3 starts at 219 (269/$249/A$399), making it one of the cheapest full-featured smartwatches for iPhone and undercutting Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. The SE 3 adds an always-on display for glanceable time and notifications without wrist movement. The design follows the 2020 Series 6 look with smaller screens, larger bezels and 40mm or 44mm case options, and the screen is slightly dimmer in direct sunlight. The watch uses the S10 chip and supports touch-free gestures, Apple Pay, rich notifications, music control, third-party apps and multiple watch faces under watchOS 26.
