Reasons to buy

A full-fat Apple Watch at a reasonable price

In our Apple Watch SE 2 review we marveled at the fact that the latest SE is a fully-featured Apple Watch that doesn't break the bank. Sure, it's still a premium smartwatch and comparatively expensive to some budget offerings from other brands, but for an Apple product it's very, very reasonable. For the price, you're getting a great design that's been tweaked and refined from the previous generation, all the usual fitness, sleep, and lifestyle apps you could need, and the same S8 processor inside as the flagship Apple Watch 8.

Reasons to avoid

Missing a few premium features from the Apple Watch 8

If you're someone who will only settle for the latest and greatest, then the Apple Watch SE lacks a few of the cutting-edge features of the flagship Apple Watch 8. Physically, the 8 has a slightly larger display that benefits from an always-on option. It's also equipped with an ECG, pulse oxygen sensor, and temperature sensor that enable a few advanced health-tracking modes. In our eyes, the always-on display is the biggest upgrade here, although it's worth noting that the SE's raise-to-wake display is really snappy and not a deal-breaker by any means.

By the way, if you're interested in the Apple Watch 8, then you can get the same trade-in deal (and a discount upfront) at Currys today.

If you'd prefer to go for the more premium option, you'll also find the excellent Apple Watch 8 available with the same great deals at Currys today. With this particular promotion, you'll get a £30 upfront discount plus the option to trade in with a minimum rebate of £50 (applies to any working smartwatch). While we'd definitely say the SE is the better value buy right now, a superb always-on display, advanced health tracking modes, and smaller bezels are meaningful upgrades if you've got a bit of cash to spend.
