This is the perfect entry-level Apple Watch and a great buy for friends, family, older relatives, and children. It's $80 off its usual price, a fantastic new lowest-ever price. Remember, this is the smaller 40mm model that'll be less obtrusive on your wrist but smaller in display.

While the Apple Watch SE might not have the rugged durability of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or the premium feel of the Series 10, it does come with everything you'd expect from an Apple Watch.

It offers all-day battery life, sleep tracking, calorie counting and exercise tracking, heart rate monitoring and irregular heart rate rhythm alerts, Fall Detection, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS, water resistance, and more.

With no Apple Watch SE 3 in 2024, you can also rest assured that this will be the leading budget model on Apple's shelves for at least another year, getting plenty of software support for years to come. The Apple Watch SE also runs watchOS 11, Apple's latest and greatest wearable software, complete with some big new fitness and health boosts for 2024.
