For its starting price of $249, the Apple Watch SE 2 offers pretty much everything most people would want from a smartwatch...
The Apple Watch SE 2 comes with the newly-released watchOS 9.0 software. If you're new to watchOS in general – let's quickly summarize what it entails. When you lift your wrist, tap the screen or press one of the watch's buttons, your watch will wake up, revealing your current watchface.
Perhaps the most important feature that it has would be heart rate tracking, which includes high and low heart rate notifications, plus irregular rhythm notifications, which, as someone who has arrhythmia, I personally appreciate. So yeah, the Apple Watch SE 2 has the basic health and fitness features covered, but as you might expect, it's also missing features that the more expensive Apple Watches have, so let's go over those.
In my experience, the Apple Watch SE 2 easily lasts through a whole single day of sparse usage, with even some battery left for the next day. It's lasting me longer than my Series 7, and again – likely because it doesn't have always-on display. Despite this being the budget Apple Watch, it didn't get some older, slower processor, which is commendable.
