AppleApple Watch SE (2nd Gen) [GPS 40mm] Smartwatch with Starlight Aluminum Case with Starlight Sport Band S/M. Fitness and Sleep Trackers, Crash Detection, Heart Rate Monitor, Retina Display

Got the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) 40mm GPS as a gift for my girlfriend, and it’s been a fantastic choice. The design is sleek and lightweight, perfect for everyday wear without feeling bulky. The screen is bright and responsive, making notifications and fitness tracking easy to check on the go.As expected from Apple, the build quality and user experience are top-notch — everything just works smoothly and intuitively. The integration with iPhone and the Apple ecosystem is seamless, which really sets it apart from other smartwatches.Battery life comfortably lasts through a full day of use with room to spare, and the fitness features are solid for casual workouts and health monitoring.A couple of minor points: the always-on display is missing on this model, so the screen turns off when not actively used, which can slow quick glances. Also, it doesn’t support fast charging, so it takes longer to recharge compared to some newer models.Overall, it’s a great balance of style, functionality, and Apple’s dependable quality — a smart gift choice for anyone looking for a reliable smartwatch without the premium price of the Ultra or Series 9

This review is from the perspective of a blind user and a musician.I was already in the Apple ecosystem, but I've been struggling with Android watches for a long time now. Ironically the best I've ever owned was an Alexa-enabled cheap-o, but when I saw the SE 2nd gen on sale for only $170 I finally took the plunge. I'm really happy I did, with one small caveat.First of all, the bad: again, I am a blind user. The accessibility on these watches is amazing, for the most part. Where I stumbled was with the passcode to unlock the watch. I didn't think to set it up so that it unlocks with my phone, and ended up locked out of my watch for a full 45 minutes before I gave up, went into the Watch app on my phone, and reset the watch completely.So, my advice to my fellow blind users is this: turn on voiceover while setting up your watch. Even if you don't need it later, you can turn it back off again, but during setup it will save you an hour of headaches.Watch face options: there are a plethora of great options, but the one I chose is called Numarals Duo for its huge font. But, I later found out that the watch does this neat trick. You can press and hold the watch face with two fingers and Siri will speak out the time, or you can even set up a haptic feedback system where the watch will silently tap your wrist to tell you what time it is. Game. Changing.Since I don't use my watch to answer messages (because I'd rather use my phone and dictate them that way), I've found I actually get almost 36 hours of battery by simply turning off raise to wake, and having Siri listening (You can just press the digital crown button and get her that way anyway).Lastly, apps! Oh my gosh this is the BIG REASON to own an Apple watch. I'm a musician, and I've been eyeing haptic feedback metronomes lately. They cost an exhorbitant amount of money, well more than an Apple Watch for JUST THE metronome. Or, you can buy an Apple Watch and get the iOS app, like Haptik, or its free alternative (the name escapes me, but it's not hard to find).The watch charges so fast that I don't think twice about using it as my metronome for a couple of hours, then toss it on the charger while I work on something else.

My sister needed a gift for one of her bestie birthday. We look and found this great deal and perfect gift for her. She love it and was so happy to show off her new watch. She said that is light and can’t even feel that is in her hand. The compared with other watches are very strong and the charging is easy to plug in to the outlet and in few hours is all ready to used. Durations of the watch varies in the used. Also is very functional and easy to use the application on it.

I had an iWatch 3 for a long time and I honestly didn't think a new iWatch could be that much better. I was mistaken, in a positive way. My iWatch SE (second generation) does all the normal stuff better, like keeping a charge and charging quickly. But it's also more responsive, as in I can give it Siri commands rather than look for or use my iPhone. I got used to the differences in monitoring activity quickly, appreciating the clarity of information provided with a simple touch and glance. It looks great, too. I love it.

I love this Apple Watch! It’s my first and it has everything I wanted! I don’t personally have a need for the more expensive models. I am able to train for my half marathon using this and that was important to me. My Garmin wasn’t meant for daily wear so I am much happier with the Apple Watch. Only thing I might have done different is get the larger face size but even that I’m not sure on. My daughter asked for the same one for her birthday a few months after I got mine.

The Apple Watch has seriously upgraded how I manage my day—fitness tracking, notifications, even quick replies without pulling out my phone. It’s sleek, responsive, and the display is super clear even in bright sunlight.Battery life is decent but could be better, especially with heavy use or sleep tracking turned on. And while the health features are impressive, some feel more like “nice-to-haves” than essentials.Still, for staying connected and motivated throughout the day, it’s a great companion. Just not quite perfect, hence the 4 stars. Would definitely recommend, especially if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

It took me so long to finally splurge on an Apple Watch, and I am glad I did! Buying on here served the same quality as buying straight from Apple, but it saved me a good chunk of money. Charging is quick and easy overnight (even though it only takes less than an hour). The watch has worked well so far, was the color I expected, and has been so handy! Treat yo' self.

Looks and works great! A nice upgrade from my old Apple Watch. Not a big fan of the band it came with, so I’m glad the bands I used for my 38mm watch fit this as well. Stays charged all day, and I like the fall and crash detection.
