APPLE WATCH SE REVIEW- Should You Buy ??

 INTRO



Apple Watch SE was launched in September along side with the apple watch series 6 and it sits perfectly in the middle of the lineup in between the 2017 Model series 3 and latest series 6.

'SE' Stands for the term special edition in apple ecosystem and what we had seen with the Iphone SE model was that it had the latest chip that was A13 at that time but a fairly old design as that of iphone 8 and was considerably cheaper than the flagship models.But it is the other way round with the apple watch SE as it has the latest design as that of apple watch series 6 but an older chip that is S5 as found in previous years apple watch series 5.

Design and Display

It has a curved display and comes in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm version and only comes in the aluminum case. The display is an OLED panel with peak brightness up to 1000nits and thanks to it the contents of the screen are easily visible in outdoors even in direct sunlight.

On the back of the watch is the second generation optical heart sensor which measures the heartrate pretty accurately.

Features

Some of it's significant features are:

  1. Built in GPS
  2. Accelerometer with up to 32 g forces(which enables fall detection)
  3.  Built in compass
  4. Always on Altimeter
  5. Gyroscope
  6. Ambient light Sensor
  7. Storage of 32gb
  8. Bluetooth 5.0(also to connect with wireless headphones)
  9. Built in noise application
  10. Automatic hand washing Detection
  11. Sleep tracking
  12. Integrated SIRI
  13. Built in breathing application(to keep a check on mental health)
  14. Water resistance up to 50 meters.
  15. 18 hours of battery life(12-14 hours with mixed usage)

Fitness features

The apple watch SE has a lot of fitness features and various exercising modes such as running, walking, cycling, yoga, swimming to name a few.

You can set your own goals and track your fitness via the activity app both on the apple watch and the iphone. Activity app shows the amount of time you spend in walking, standing and exercising.

The fitness tracking is fairly accurate and the watch will motivate you to push for more by giving you timely notifications and remind you about your activity status.   




Software and the chip

Apple watch SE has the S5 chip which is a 64 bit dual core processor, also it has the Apple wireless W3 chip. The S5 chip might be an year old chip but still is very capable in  terms of efficiency and processing.

The interface is very responsive and the apps open and load very quickly. There are numerous apps available on the app store and you can download them directly from your watch as per your need.

Various customization options are also available in terms of watch faces and one can optimize according to their needs as well as share it with their friend and family.



Conclusion

It is a fantastic watch which integrates very well with the iphone and the rest of the apple ecosystem.

It might lack in some features such as ECG, Blood oxygen level monitoring and always on display but in my opinion majority of the people won't be needing these features anyway unless they have a heart condition and lack of these features mean less pricing and I believe the pricing of INR 29,900/-  is very competitive and justifiable one due to the amazing features this watch has to offer and I would recommend this Watch SE to majority of people looking for a smart watch in budget.
