Apple has launched the Apple Watch SE 3, its updated budget smartwatch. The release comes three years after the SE 2. The new model adds speed, health tools, and better connectivity.
Performance and Design Updates
The SE 3 keeps the same look but uses Apple’s faster S10 chip. Apps open quicker, and interactions feel smoother. It also supports Double Tap and Wrist Flick, letting users control the watch without touching the screen.
Expanded Health Features
Apple expanded health tracking in the SE 3. Wrist temperature sensing now supports cycle tracking updates. Sleep apnea detection and a Sleep Score give users detailed sleep insights. These features make the SE much closer to premium Apple Watch models.
Connectivity and Charging Improvements
The SE 3 introduces 5G, giving faster data speeds for apps and calls. Charging also improved. The watch powers up twice as fast, making short top-ups easier.
Price and Availability
Apple offers the SE 3 in Starlight and Midnight. Preorders opened after the September keynote, and pricing starts at $249. This keeps it one of the most affordable entry points into Apple’s wearable lineup.
The Apple Watch SE 3 blends speed, health tracking, and strong connectivity. It is designed for first-time buyers, families, and anyone seeking Apple’s features at a lower cost.
