Apple Watch SE 3

Our verdict: Apple - On sale now. The Watch SE 3 is the Apple Watch for a buyer who wants the essentials at the lowest price: an Always-On LTPO OLED display, the S10 chip, wrist temperature sensing, sleep apnoea notifications and a Sleep Score, with 18 hours of battery or 32 hours in Low Power Mode, in 40mm or 44mm aluminium cases. The trade-off is the screen and the battery: Ion-X glass and 1,000 nits are a step below the Series 11, and 18 hours is the shortest battery in this batch of Apple watches. At $239.99 at Amazon.com, checked 2026-11-04, it suits a first-time Apple Watch buyer or a buyer who wants the core health features for less; a buyer who wants a brighter display and longer battery should look at the Watch Series 11.
