Dear Apple,
As you know, your Apple Watch CE is not new. The second generation came in September 2022 with the series 8 and Ultra’s first repetition. You have given both the iPhone, all the iPad models, the air pods, the MacBox and the flagship and the Premium Smart Watch since then – but not the budget smart watch. Last month, my editors told me how to see how the Watch SE stands in 2025 and I am happy to be bound by it. I like to take my hand on the novel tech, analyze, evaluate it and experience a device (then give it back when I work, so I don’t need to collect more things). But this review cooled me. In 2025, Apple Watch SE feels greatly and decreases decisively.
This is a quite safe condition that we will soon see a new SE model. Of course. There are rumors. In addition, the launch of the iPhone 16 E shows that you are still interested in making a more affordable version of your devices. There is a difference of about $ 150 between SE and Base Apple Watch Series 10. The latter is less than 9 399 at the full price and $ 329 on sale. The SE cost is $ 249 and it is less for $ 149. Although I do not expect the budget watch that the flagship has everything, there are some features that feel non -negotiations in 2025, as well as some reasonable compromise that most budget buyers will probably be willing to accept. As a daily smart watch wearer and as a user gadget reviewer, I am giving you my full free advice on what I want to see you in the next Apple Watch SE.
Give us a big (not better) display
I usually wear an Apple Watch Series 9, but before, I developed a handmine Apple Watch Series 4 with a scratch screen. In addition to this conflict, the 40 mm Apple Watch C screen I have reviewed, besides 2018, seems to be similar to it. In fact, the two have the same size display area, which is tight and tight than the generous real estate at 42 mm series 10, with more Apple Watch getting a 2 mm size collision, so the more direct comparison is 40mm size, so it will be more directly compared. Thank you for the thin bezles. Considering the increasing amount of information handling our watches, I want a large panel to see it.
The brightness and overall explanation of the OLED retina display of the SE is perfect. Advanced LTPO 3 technology watches are not required. And 1000 nats of SE are also sufficient. Even in the bright sunlight, the screen is viable. True, it cannot go to the same part of the shine as new watches can be and, when it is disturbing in a dark room, the screen is completely closed using sleep attention at bedtime.
When I upgraded Series 9, the feature I was looking forward to was always an on -display (AOD). The reason for this is that from my series 4 I need to raise my wrist before shed light in the end. It was annoying to check the time. But when I reviewed the Galaxy Watch 7, I turned off the AOD for most of the test and did not remember it a little. It turns out, if I go to my wrist to the flicker and faster, the AOD is not so important. So if losing this feature can reduce the price, it will be an acceptable trade. Currently, the time testing on the SE is a bit slightly, but with my old watch my experience is not significantly better. Which can be solved through a more modern processor.

Let’s keep the fastened (not the fastest)
I realize that when I say that Apple Watch’s processing power feels slow, I am insulting my 14 -year -old myself, whose pipe dream was a Cassie Calculator watch. But still, compared to my experience with existing models, the S is left behind. Opening apps, controlling music playback, starting exercise and talking with Siri is much slower than that. The budget watch does not need to pack the Zenith of the Apple System in Package (SIP), but stepping into the S.9 chip of 2023 will feel satisfactory.
A processor’s conflict can also enable the double tap, which debuted with series 9. But this is not important – I can take or leave the indicator attraction. It does not feel so accurate or associated with OS, as it says, Samsung version on the Galaxy Watch. Although I have to recognize with my series 9, it feels a bit magical when I can double to start a recommended running workout – especially when I’m tightening with a crazy dog belt.
The S9 chip also enables an on -board processing on Siri requests, which means they do not need to take the internet of the connected phone. If I am on a motorcycle ride and want to log it like this, I can just ask Siri, even if I have left my phone at home. – When I want Siri to set up a two -minute timer to erection green tea, it takes a long time to process with the SE.
For the sake of the stomach, make it faster charge
My father’s name is Pete. And if he had the Apple Watch SE (instead of his series 7), I know he wants it to be recharged at the right time. Overall, the battery performance on the SE is amazingly good. I can go through a whole day that includes running, fitness+ exercise, timer setting, testing the weather with madness, logging meds and a couple of dogs. When I wake up, the time comes to put a clock on the charger. This is the same experience of my Apple Watch Series 9. But when I shower and get ready for the day, instead of re -filling the battery, SE takes about two hours to reach about ten percent to one hundred. Waiting is too long.
Keep your titanium and sapphire crystal
Budget models are always handed over to less expensive content and that’s fine. Aluminum alloy Apple uses its non -premium watches in its non -premium watches. The ion-X glass on the front is not as strong as a sapphire glass, but it is less expensive. I’m not trying to talk for all the budget -aware folk, but I and I know that every other Fergal person has to change all the expensive tech in screen proteins, matters and other security measures, whose moments leave his box. So if a slightly less strong content can, Apple, in every way, can question the dollar by questioning.
We have seen rumors that your next SE can be placed in the matter of plastic with bright colors on the watch band, possibly in an attempt to appeal to children. I will need to see what kind of plastic you feel that it is strong enough to stand in front of children’s chaos, but if it can continue for a few years without keeping the price low, I am open to the idea.
OK if my watch is not a doctor’s office
Fitness tracking is high in my list of non -negotiation features. And its accuracy requires a sensor sweetness. All of them are in the SE and the data collected with my tracking exercises and runs was equal to the one that will collect my new watch.
The SE lacks the electricity rate sensor so it cannot read ECG. There is also no temperature sensor, which the series uses to help predict 10 elliptical and menstrual cycles. If and when your company never works on a patent dispute about its blood oxygen sensor, I imagine that a new watchCC of Apple Watch will not even get that ability.
Okay I have used ECG readings exactly once – to test it to another smart watch review. About eight years before the birth of my seven -year -old baby, I was passionate about my elliptical cycle for six months. Although it is clear that our watches can set so many figures, I think it is more important to cover the basics: tell me when I am really stopping the run and when my heart rate will come to 170 on HIIT exercise. We can get any more expertise, rarely used health diagnosis elsewhere.
The SE does not have a depth gauge or water temperature sensor. That’s fine too. I don’t think anyone in the market would have a lot of object to wear for a budget that they were not designed to do scuba diving with them.
There is an ultra -wide band (UWB) chip in the new flagship Apple Watches to find more precise iPhone in the wrong place and support additional interaction with the nearest home pod. I use my watch to find my phone three times daily. UWB enables a more precise way to find devices, and this interface pings on my series 9 on my phone every time, which offers a small game of hot and cold, and indicates an arrow in the direction of my lost handset. But I ignore most of the directions and just listen to the phone’s colorful Da-D-D-D-dad. Which says, I did not lose the UWB deficiency in the minimum SE.

Wrap
When the Apple Watch SE surfaced in 2022, Angget’s Cherlin Lo asked him to buy the best Smart Watch $ 250. This was certainly the case at that time. But two and a half years later, it is appropriate to expect more from your budget timepiece. I miss college after decades or so when $ 250 represented more than my monthly dining allotment. For many, even the purchase of an “cheap” apple is still an important purchase.
People can get a lot of people, if they get out of your walls environmental systems. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch is only $ 200 per. Not only is it the same sensors like wearing a company’s flagship, it can also perform an ECG. $ 200 L, we can also get a foot butt Warsa instead. True, it does not pack more and more features like Pixel Watch 3, but the basic things are well covered, activity tracking, providing notifications and going for six days on charge. It will even be pairing with an iPhone. And then the Garman Farroner is 165. Now this is our editors’ favorite walking clock and can cost $ 250. Making quality $ 250 smart watch is not out of the scope of the possibility.
Apple, you can save more than your premium content, super specialized sensors and your flagship and premium models, such as UWB connection, such as good toy toy. In this way, people who are willing to pay a higher price will still feel that they are getting their money. Just focus on the features that make up everyday users, and forget these unnecessary payments. You still have scope to build a reasonable price that doesn’t feel like second -level accessories.
