"The device still packs many upgrades and, despite its affordable price, comes with many of the upgrades that the other watches in the lineup include. In many ways, the SE 3 takes the specs of last year's Series 10 and implements them in this affordable smartwatch -- an 18-hour battery life, Sleep Apnea Detection, and its latest chip, the S10."
"I've even included one Apple Watch model from 2024 that, thanks to some retroactive updates through WatchOS 26, is a worthy contender for purchase this year. Here's the breakdown. Also: I compared every Apple Watch in 2025 - here's why I recommend this model the most The screen is the smallest out of the lineup, and communicating through text can be annoying with only a letter-drawing feature or speak-to-text available."
Three new Apple Watches offer distinct trade-offs across price, features, and battery life. The SE 3 serves as an entry-level model with the S10 chip, 18-hour battery, Sleep Apnea Detection, and sleep scores, but lacks hypertension detection, blood-oxygen monitoring, ECG, and the Series 11's 24-hour battery. The SE 3 has the smallest, 1,000-nit display and basic text input options. A 2024 Apple Watch received retroactive WatchOS 26 updates that make it a viable purchase. The Series 11 functions as the flagship with the lineup's second-longest battery, while the Ultra 3 delivers the longest battery life.
