It will be nice if Apple updated the focus mode in Apple Watch to automatically switch to low power mode when a particular focus starts. This is available on the iPhone but not on the Apple Watch.
my favourite feature is the alarm, which sounds like such a small thing, but i find that it wakes me up way easier than my phone as it vibrates on my wrist
Great video-just picked up the SE1, and it’s awaiting shipment. The cellular model version saved me approximately $120 (Canadian) versus SE2, so it made sense. Also, with an iPhone XS, I’m not one to complain about having a slower chip 😅
@mjoshss As a student i’d choose the SE 1 just because it’s cheaper lol. I’d still have the basic functions needed for basic tasks. I love how the essentials are already on hand, such as the heart rate monitor. Though the chip on the S2 will be more worth it as the update support will last longer.
Thanks for the video. SE 1 has all of the essential features and i will probably get another one in 2 years. Just got a SE 1 for $149.99 at Wal Mart! Black friday deals!
Hi mate, great video, I appreciate how you get straight to the point without too much unnecessary fluff. Just bought the SE 2 and passed my SE 1 (which is still in great condition) onto a family member. The difference in responsiveness with the S8 chip is definitely noticeable.
Hi there, I’m about to buy an Apple Watch but not sure about this; • Apple Watch SE Nike (2020) GPS + Cellular model and it’s 5,700 TRY • Apple Watch SE (2022) GPS model and it’s 6,000 TRY It is good and important that the 2022 model lasts longer, but it is also very good and important that the 2020 model has the Cellular feature. I'm so undecided on what to do, any ideas?
I’m considering the SE 2 because of the crash and falling down detection and I’m getting to that age….. also for checking blood pressure and heartbeat because I’ve had an irregular heartbeat in the past.
We brought my grandpa a series 7 last Christmas he didn’t really care for it until match of this year, he fell at home alone and his watch saved him. Man hasn’t taken it off since. So I really support older people getting one
Thanks for this video. At the shop it was very difficult to see the difference between SE and SE2 models. Will now go back and make sure I get the SE2 watch.
I got to say that my fav feature of the Apple Watch is definitely my ability to control my iPhone and AirPods Pro’s by extension when I’m listening to music at work 🤭
Costco is still selling new se1’s. I bought one a few months ago and find it adequate. Very reliable on notifying me of txts and calls. Also multiple timers help when cooking
Just picked up an SE1 for 150 from Walmart after reading that it’s essentially the same watch. Absolute steal IMO, same price as a Fitbit charge 5 but syncs better with my other Apple products like AirPods/beats and phone, and is also an interface im already familiar with, having owned the original Apple Watch. Super excited for it to come in! Really just needed a watch for fitness tracking and so I wouldn’t have to take my phone on runs, and this fulfills both purposes. I don’t need all the extra features of the newer watches- I’m only going to have this watch on for workouts as I really love my actual analog watches for daily wear. I’ll probably just wear this at night and for my workout which I do as soon as I wake up early in the morning for sleep and workout tracking.
That’s the same exact reason I’m considering the SE1. When I’m at the gym, I’d either have to hold my phone or use an old school arm band for my phone. The one I have barely fits my phone and I’d definitely have to take my phone cover off to use it. Not to mention, I can’t wear it the normal way and control music. So I was considering an Apple watch so I can start closing these fitness rings! The slower processing was noticeable in this video- not sure how I feel about the lag vs cost savings. But I can at least go to Walmart and check the SE1 out.
i upgraded from apple watch 3 38mm to apple watch watch 44mm. What I like most is that it has a bigger screen and it has a faster processor. have had it for 1 year now and still have 99 in battery health
I just got my son and wife se1 for 150$ brand new Black Friday ! Good price my wife’s upgrade from series 3 she dosnt care about tech but needed a upgrade and my son just wants one
Main reason why got the SE2 was for the crash detection I had the regular SE model which didn’t know gave it to my daughter I really wanted the newer models but cost to much
The best thing for Apple watch was the notifications. I am a student so I have to mute my phone, which most of the time I would miss the calls and messages
I bought the SE1 because it was only $159 at Walmart with cellular as an option and 44mm screen. Great value option coming from the series 3 and the processor is twice as fast.
Own the Apple Watch SE first generation,probably will not switch to the newest SE.Waiting for Apple Watch Third Generation,hope they’ll make some changes on third generation.
@jaaakin I feel like apple really did make it fair with the downgrade in features, for the price point. It just seems like you get a great product for the price and the features you might miss out on are not worth the higher price.
I'm really tempted on going the S1 route, currently it's a 200 to 250 euro difference... For notifications and fitness should be enough. Thanks for your video!
After watching this I’ll be going with the SE 2 44mm until something drastically different comes out better then the 8 or Ultra comes out . I’m upgrading from a Series 3 42mm
I have iphone 14 pro max, air pod pro gen 2, and se1 apple watch 44mm for 170. felt that i just wanted something to track my fitness stuff and nothing to crazy. yes it has a better cpu in the se2 but what i need it for does not require a better cpu really.
Just picked up the SE 1 model 40mm case for $75 on the used market. In very good shape, was rose gold color, but I just put a black bumper case on because I didn't like the color. Being a guy, would of preferred the grey or silver, but with the bumper case, no one will ever know.
my se1 screen has significant damage to the display (huge cracks) to the point where parts of the screen are not responsive to my touch. The cost to repair it would result in them just giving me a refurbished SE1. I'm wondering if I may as well just get an SE2 at this point, especially since the SE3 is not coming in 2024, or if I'm better off stepping up to an S9 or S10
Just received my SE2 today gave my SE to my daughter not seeing always on display on the 2 does it have 1? The newest models cost too much so this was the 2nd best for me
For anyone trying to find the physical difference between the two..... the back of the old model (2020) says aluminum and ceramic case. The new one does not. The new one also doesnt have the glossy back. Took a while to find a side by side showing the backs.
Great video - clear, informative & balanced - exactly the assessment I was looking for to get a speedy lowdown on SE vs S2. Thanks for that. What still bothers me in general though (mostly directed toward Apple) is that we talk about the SE 2 being the better "long-term investment" because it will last for 5-6 yrs whereas the SE1 maybe only 2-3yrs. These lifetimes have nothing to do with a "sustainable" product. This is why I would not invest 1000€ in an Ultra - but was happy to buy a Swiss Maurice Lacroix 20 years ago for much more money. That watch is still running like clockwork (sorry for the pun!). My Series 2 is in perfect condition - except for the battery - but is now ending up as non-recyclable waste because support finished last year. The concepts need to become more sustainable & circular - but I know this is financially less attractive for Apple. Thanks anyway for the great video 👍
Hi Dion! I don’t know which one to choose. I found the SE 1st gen for $139 on walmart vs $219 for SE 2nd gen on amazon. Which one is the best investment, i don’t want a lot, i am a basic user, just to see the time, sleep, heart rate, reply to messages and that’s it. Could you help me?
Hi Nathan, good question. From “investment” perspective the SE2 is best, but if you are a first timer, wanting to give it a shot I would go for the SE 1.
Back in 2021 I had the Se watch that was terrible it never hold a full charge during the day! Sent it back but then I got the series 3 2022 and it’s really really nice, charged great features… now the se2 I’m not sure if this would be my next upgrade no pun intended here But only “TIME” lol will tell🙃😃
I picked the Series 5 cause it won't be available anymore and it had the same chipset as the Series SE 2020 than the latest series SE 2022..and it might be the luckiest person who got the oldest and still support Apple Watch after my Series 6 I got in 2021 and the Series 5 will be to my eldest brother who wanted an Apple Watch for his first time ever after getting his iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Hi! I just looking for a video of the difference between the Apple watch se and se 2, thank you for the great video and information!💛 I choose to buy the 2nd generation))
@jaamesofthrones As someone who bought an apple watch for the first time, I think SE2 is a better watch to start off. Considering that SE1 would last for some number of years in terms of update unlike SE2 which has the same new chip of the latest watch like 7, 8, and ultra which would probably last long. Like you’ve mentioned, longevity! ☺️. By the way, your channel is the reason why I bought the new SE2. Thanks for the content and keep it up!
Fellow Apple Watch users, what is a feature you'd like to see added to the Apple Watch? 🤔
I think apple should add blood pressure tool to apple watches. I’m not sure if they have it yet, but it would be a nice feature
Blood sugar, sleep apnea detection w Sp02 (not just o2 data),
Hey Dion. This guy over me tries to scam people on a lot of ur vids. Just a headsup
It will be nice if Apple updated the focus mode in Apple Watch to automatically switch to low power mode when a particular focus starts. This is available on the iPhone but not on the Apple Watch.
Aaaand the comment is gone haha
I just upgraded from the series 1 from 2016 2017 to the SE 1 (from back market) love it so far
Love how clear you explain the differences of the watches. Would love to have the SE soon.

Same. I bought the 44mm for $179. Thanks Walmart lol. I love the huge size upgrade from my 3
I got 40mm for 220$ at Walmart I might’ve got scammed 😂
@@ForTheWin00 good for you I will keep that as an option too Walmart when it’s time to upgrade

i'm using apple watch se 1, affordable yet powerful. my favourite features are heart rate reader, fitness tracker and assistive touch.
Thanks for this video. At the shop it was very difficult to see the difference between SE and SE2 models. Will now go back and make sure I get the SE2 watch.
I really like the variety of the wallpaper inthe apple watch
I grabbed the apple watch se 1! I just think it is the best deal for me right now
Winner Dm ☝️
Thanks for the comparison. I’m currently debating between the two… upgrading from the 3.
watching this as im waiting for my apple watch SE watch in gold 44mm during this epic black friday deals at walmart for only $179
I got to say that my fav feature of the Apple Watch is definitely my ability to control my iPhone and AirPods Pro’s by extension when I’m listening to music at work 🤭
Just picked up an se 2 from eBay for $190. I got it over the series 5 due to updates. This video confirms my findings. Thanks a bunch.
Good price. Enjoy!
Why not buying a gps+cellular SE 1 instead of a gps only SE 2 ?
Great video and comparison! I just upgraded my super old Series 4 for a “like new” SE1. Paid $150.
Hi Wade, thank you!
Should have waited. Brand new se 1 on sale for 149 at Walmart
I love that you can play yo music with out having yo phone ❤

@@simonkarlsson4654 it’s fake
Dion, what about the plastic back on the SE2? Should we worry about durability, like scratches?
I just got my son and wife se1 for 150$ brand new Black Friday ! Good price my wife’s upgrade from series 3 she dosnt care about tech but needed a upgrade and my son just wants one
The 1st Gen SE is on sale at Walmart for $149.
I bought my first ever Apple Watch SE 1 generation! Hope that I will enjoy it 😊
I really like the crash detection and the emergency SOS via satellite feature.
Main reason why got the SE2 was for the crash detection I had the regular SE model which didn’t know gave it to my daughter I really wanted the newer models but cost to much
I enjoy you informative videos, I went from a series 5 , 40mm to SE 2 , 44mm , I love the large screen, which was the main reason for upgrading. 🍏
Hi Vicky, thanks for the feedback!
hello. Is it worth an Apple watch like series 5 just for notifications and clock? thanks
Just ordered the SE2 today after watching this video.
Hi Scott, enjoy it!
The best thing for Apple watch was the notifications. I am a student so I have to mute my phone, which most of the time I would miss the calls and messages
Winner Dm
Just got my first Apple Watch this past weekend, I decided to go with the SE 2 it fits my need’s perfectly
Hi Tom, enjoy!
Thank you, the first Apple Watch not sponsored by apple and hence not about the ultra. A review for 90% of users.
Thanks! But I did a Ultra review as well :)
I have been waiting for the “diabetic” monitor readings, even if it is only an indication rather than than a precise reading.
Se1 will not get updates anymore. Probably the larger reason to not buy it
Form your video I got clarity that I should buy se 2 thank you....
Hi Sharath, glad I could help
@@DionMedia Thank you sir for selecting me....
I bought the SE1 because it was only $159 at Walmart with cellular as an option and 44mm screen. Great value option coming from the series 3 and the processor is twice as fast.
Great price. Enjoy!
I just bought almost new Series 7 for the same price as SE2, which has a lot less features. So I dont think its worth the price.
I just bought the SE 1 at Walmart for $150. Like it a lot, and it looks like they still have plenty more to sell.
my favourite feature of the apple watch is the crash detection
i like the apple pay feature on the watch
SE2 will NOT work on my iPhone 7 so if I can find 1st gen somewhere I might buy it
Using se from march 2022 it is amazing have every good feature just miss always on display
170$ is equal to 14k₹ approx and in india apple SE is 26k₹ 🥲 and SE 2 is of 32k₹ 🥲🥲
Fav feature would be UI
So for health wise the 7 or 8 series are better?
Winner Dm
The best feature of iPhone 14 it is expensive and 14 will remain always dream for middle class people
I brought the Apple Watch SE in 2020 and it stopped upgrading I’m mad right now but it’s still works soo im not gonna buy another Apple Watch
Own the Apple Watch SE first generation,probably will not switch to the newest SE.Waiting for Apple Watch Third Generation,hope they’ll make some changes on third generation.
Fall detection is why I bought it and my 1st Apple Watch.
Whats the difference between 2022/21 and 2023??
@11ljay…SE1 > I love the Matt finish on the back SE2> Thiner bezels and new chip. It’s a pity they don’t come with “Always On”

Not always pulse 24/7 tracking only one for a minute 😤
I am thinking which one I should choose as my first Apple Watch.
good water resistance..the problem is when the screen comes off out of nowhere like my SE 1. now apple wants me to buy a new watch
I will stick with my S5, the first with always-on ❤
What happens when the updates end for the SE1? Does Apple send a self destruct signal to it?
Please do not give them any ideas:). When the updates end, you slowly lose some of the functionalities.
They already did 😭😭
Difference between both
My favorite feature about the Apple Watch is basically it being the first watch I’m gonna ever own . 🙂
Great content, very informative. I am going to get SE (1st gen) soon
Thanks! And enjoy the SE (why not the second generation?)
I'm really tempted on going the S1 route, currently it's a 200 to 250 euro difference... For notifications and fitness should be enough. Thanks for your video!
