The cheapest Apple Watch that does everything most people use a watch for.
4.5 out of 5
The gap between the SE and the Series watches is a brighter always-on screen and body sensors most owners check twice and never again. Everything that actually gets used daily — notifications, workouts, Apple Pay, fall detection, the alarm that does not wake a partner — is identical, at two hundred dollars less. For an iPhone owner who has never worn one, this is the right first Apple Watch. It is useless on Android. The 40mm case suits a slimmer wrist; order 44mm if his wrist is over about seven inches.
