Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2

While there are rumors around for the Apple Watch SE 3, it’s clear the Apple Watch SE 2 will remain the definitive budget-friendly Apple Watch for a while. The Apple Watch SE 2 has all the essentials that iPhone owners could need from a smartwatch. From your wrist, you can send texts, take a call, listen to music or podcasts, as well as use Siri. It even has emergency features like the ability call for help via Emergency SOS and automatic fall and crash detection. It also detects if you have an irregular heart rhythm or an unusually high or low heart rate.

The Apple Activity Rings system further helps motivate you by giving you goals each day and providing challenges throughout the month.

You can also customize your Apple Watch with different watch straps and the best Apple Watch faces. That means the Apple Watch SE 2 always feels truly yours and you can easily tweak it to fit any occasion.
