Today I am going to talk about my long-term experience using the Apple Watch SE 2. Coming in at $249 / £259, the SE 2 is Apple’s entry level Apple Watch and if you’re interested in upgrading your Apple Watch or buying your first Apple Watch, this video will cover everything you need to know about the SE 2. My spec: GPS only, 41mm, SE 2, in Midnight price $249 / £259. GPS vs cellular. 40mm size on my 155mm wrist. Chose Midnight colour, works in both formal and casual settings. Paired with the sports band, great first band, comfortable and durable. In terms of design, SE 1 vs SE 2 are mostly the same. Now comes in Midnight vs Space Grey. SE 2 has held up well, no scratches or fading, remains waterproof (rainproof). Let’s look at display. Square with rounded corners. Crack resistant but does scratch. Normal daily use already scratches, recommend screen protector. Aside from that, the display is sharp and OLED with excellent auto brightness. But no always-on (only Series 8). Overall excellent display. Performance. New S8 chip. Same as series 8. Noticeably faster than SE1 and brings longevity. S8 chip in SE 2 5-6 years of software support. S5 chip in SE 1 only 2-3 years of software support. In terms of battery life, like SE 1 and Series 8 , SE 2 lasts all day. 25% end of day. How you setup your watch is key. I have an extensive Apple Watch guide, that shows how I setup my Watch to get the most out of features and battery life. But to give you an idea: notifications, background app refresh and Siri. Also adds low power mode. SE 2 no fast charging like Series 8. Still charges fast enough. I charge in the morning 25% to 80% (45 min). My favourite Apple Watch features. Notifications on the wrist. Apple cross-device integration, SE 2 takes this further. Unlock my Mac. Adjust volume of my headphones. Ping my iPhone. Siri is great too. In London, use Apple Pay everyday. Maps too (turn by turn directions). New safety feature, Crash detection. Activity rings, 3 rings, gamifies activity. Who is the Apple Watch SE 2 for? Perfect first Apple Watch. Offers core Apple Watch features at a compelling price, that will last for years to come. After 4 moths of use, I can say the Apple Watch SE 2 is fantastic watch that I highly recommend!

    I got the SE2 several months ago. My first Apple Watch. Didn't realize what I was missing. The activity rings and exercise tracking is what I definitely use the most. Been a game changer for me, especially now that I'm well over the hill approaching 43 years old.

    I went from an SE to SE2, and it’s definitely an upgrade. Best is battery life but I also love how the screen area is bigger and the shape is more smooth. Unless you need an EKG or AOD, it’s the perfect watch at a really nice price. I got the Succulent band but do also have darker bands to swap out. Thank you for your thoughts as always!

    We know you are a bit of style guru, Dion. Midnight is very neutral. As I used to sell high end Watches, I went for the Aluminum SE 2 with the Milanese bracelet as a first time user. Feels like a watch as opposed to wrist tech. As for the issue of the always on display? I grew up in the 70's where digital watches were the hot item...you had to turn your wrist AND press a button to see the time. Battery life has been good at 48 hours between charges.

    First time user of the Apple Watch and I'm loving it. Paying became a breeze and is my favourite function. Unlocking my intel iMac and MacBook and even my 1Password manager is a close second. Furthermore, shopping cards scanning (3rd party app), sleep and of course sport tracking is great too. Last but not least notifications and simply checking the time / weather etc. All in all, a happy user! Oh and by the way, my Apple Watch lasts a day and a night and in the morning i still have between 50% and 60% battery left. Throwing it on the charger in the morning for an hour is more than enough to last another day. So battery life is good too!

    Moved from Android to Apple mostly because I wanted an Apple watch as they are known to be much more accurate than android equivalents. No regrets so far. Loving the apple ecosystem and 3 days into owning the SE 2, and couldn't be happier! Using mine mostly for fitness. Not sure what the 8 could offer that would ever sway me away from the SE range. It does everything I want and for a decent price! Great video

    @@dankmeme8040 I haven't tried the watch 8 unfortunately so can't really give you the best advice. From my understanding, the 8 does have some additional monitoring features such as ECG and Temperature, however, the reviews I read mostly suggested that those are things you may only use once in a while, and the SE2 still has the core monitors that are most useful for everyday use. For running, the SE2 has been very accurate for me. I am happy with my SE2 so far, and I think the value for money is fantastic! If budget is no issue for you though, then maybe go with the series 8 for the slightly larger screen/extras. You will be happy with either IMO!

I noticed a few cracks on the screen. Yikes!! I did used it a little bit. I kind of cut my finger a tiny bit on one of the cracks. I got it in a smaller size so that I still can used my watch bands towards it. I even have series 1 and 2 that I bought refurbished. They are just backup. I can’t get those updated as current Apple Watches.

It’s my first Apple Watch, and I’ll hopefully be keeping it for a few years.

SE2 also has a stopwatch.

    Ok, first I wanted to say that your videos are amazing and I love how you don’t go to fast as new Apple Watch user like myself are trying to grasp all of this. I’m going to ask a few questions as I’m going through this video. 1) I noticed when you talked about listening to music with your earphones your watch showed the same display as mine does when I’m watching KZread on my phone. I wondered why my watch was doing this and thought that’s got to be running my battery down. Is there a way to stop my watch from trying to pick up my KZread watching while on my phone? 2) the Apple Pay. Aren’t you concerned that if you get to close to some with your watch it could pay for something that you didn’t intend on? I fear the same thing with these credit/debit cards with this tap feature. I’m worried that if I get to close to things it could detect my card or watch and somehow pay for something I didn’t want. Could this actually happen? I’m concerned about that.

    I’d recommend going with the cellular version if you’ve got extra cash to spare. I always go to the gym without my phone, just with Apple watch and Airpods. This frees my of hassle of finding a place to keep my phone as i move from one workout to another. Its freeing to be not carrying around a brick in my pocket or in my hand at the gym. In addition, even while I’m at work, i leave my phone at desk and go to meetings with only laptop and watch. My screen time as reduced significantly, more than half reduction in fact. So glad i went with the cellular version.
