To all SE Users i am Kind of new to the Apple Watch And i wanted to buy one for Christmas. Now I am sceptical of the battery life and how long it needs to charge I was and it’s missing features in comparison to the newer watches, now I was thinking about buying an Apple Watch Series 8 because it is in kind of the same price category and has more features but I am not able to find one that guarantees that it is waterproof because most refurbished websites don’t offer a guaranteed waterproof watch. No, I am wondering if some of you guys could just share me your information of how you like your Apple Watch SE and how it impacted your life and maybe know where to get a series 8 :D thanks!
I bought the 44m SE2 refurbished from Apple, couldn’t be happier. The bezels aren’t that bigger compared to the other series, and battery life lasts me easily 48 hours without Low Power Mode
does the bigger one have more battery life?
It has a bigger battery but it mostly evens out due to the larger screen.
I have one, it’s great. Kinda wish I got the 44m over 40mm version. Apart from that, it does everything I want it to, and was £140 cheaper than s8 at the time.
I’m one of those who keeps banking on the SE — I’ve had the first generation, upgraded to the second generation (the 2022 one).
I had an S6 for 3 years, and recently upgraded to an SE2. I’m happy, I don’t miss anything and couldn’t justify the difference in cost to get an S9.
Got my 2 months ago. 2nd hand. I use it mostly for workouts including crossfit, lifting weights, ball hockey and swimming. It’s great! Gotta keep charging it every day though.
I love mine. I get two days a charge easy
Really is it that good? i thought it was only lasting like one day or even half a day…
Charge is really good. I took it off the charger this morning (roughly 9 hours ago) and it is still at 86%. I don’t have many notifications though.
Totally agree here, mine was fully charged when I went to bed last night and it’s on 63% now. So that’s about 18 hours just for it to get that low. It really is that good
Yup, 2 days out of my SE2 easily - and I get a lot of notifications.
I can easily get 2 days out of my SE2, I suspect it’d go 3 if I wasn’t doing much those 3 days.
I have an SE I got years ago. I personally haven’t had a single issue with battery life, even when the update was tanking a lot of peoples’ battery. I probably just got lucky with that. I really like mine, it does everything I need it to do. I actually found out I have a heart condition due to the heart rate monitoring, although you certainly shouldn’t rely on a watch for that purpose.
A Series 8 would probably be a great deal if you can find one on a sites like Amazon. An always-on display matters more than you might think.
i thought so as well i would realy realy like one but it is so hard to find one…
I bought my SE 2nd gen a few weeks ago and I love it! It has everything I need. I charge it once a day. I have no complaints about battery life.
I’m on my second SE. When my first died this year I just bought a replacement. Battery is fine and it was so much cheaper. Much better bang for the buck.
Have the se2, still haven’t charged it since 7 am and I have 50 % battery left. Don’t need AOD or temp sensor
I love my SE as an upgrade from my series 3. It does everything I want the Apple Watch to do, and the battery lasts all day for me. I charge it when I sleep and I never take it off otherwise (even to shower because it’s waterproof).
I’m pretty sure the series 9 is out already so I’m not sure if Apple will keep selling the series 8
ik but thats the point buying a generation 8 is now cheaper because there is the series 9 now. but mostly you can only buy one refurbished or if you are lucky find a brand new one but that is hard
Yeah you’re only gonna find refurbished really. There should be a lot at least because people are probably trading in their series 8
Costco.com has series 9 $60 off at $329. Think that is your best bet
The SE 2gen is the best deal on Apple Watch ever. Bought it to my wife, and honestly I don’t see any real benefit on my Watch 9 over the SE
Yea, it is a lot cheaper. But I’m also torn. If I’m spending “ a lot “ then I would prefer to they the better one, with more battery, better screen, and most importantly to me, smaller bezzles
The screen is better on the 9, no doubt about it. It has the ECG, the always on screen and all that stuff, but other than 3 or 4 special features and the better screen, they look the same.
The battery life is exactly the same btw :). I love my 9, no doubt about it, but for less 200 euros (in my country) the SE is a steal
true true
Been using an SE 1 since late 2020 and have no complaints! The battery still lasts me a full day and everything.
