Apple Watch SE - Modern Design at An Affordable Price

In September 2020, Apple announced Apple watch SE that packs design, value and function in a small wrist band. This watch has the largest and most advanced retina display that lets users see details clearly, along with the usual exciting features like gyroscope, accelerometer, altimeter, etc.

Apple has added the latest motion sensors and microphone that work together to offer robust health and safety features like fall detection, international emergency calling, Noise app and Emergency SOS. Apple Watch SE 2020 is power-packed with watch OS7 that brings to you powerful new features like Family Setup that lets kids and older members who do not own an iPhone to sync with an existing phone and enjoy the perks of the Apple watch.

Made of 100 per cent recycled aluminium and compatible with all the Apple Watch bands including Solo Loop and Braided, this watch is definitely a delight to own.

What Are the Specs and Features of The Apple Watch SE 2020?

Apple Watch SE 2020 is sure to win your heart with its design and specs. This watch has thin borders and curved corners, making it 30 per cent larger than the Series 3 and its interface allows for larger icons and fonts. The brand has also put in efforts to create new watch faces for the display so that you can easily view text messages, notifications, health metrics and more.

The Apple Watch SE design and performance both complement each other. The device’s S5 system in Package (SiP) and dual-core processor helps it deliver up to two times faster performance as compared to the Apple Watch Series 3. Its digital crown with haptic feedback generates incremental clicks as it is rotated to give you an unbelievable mechanical feel. Further, it features the latest microphone and speakers which are both optimized for better sound quality for processes like Siri, phone calls and walkie-talkie.

Apple Watch SE Features

The Apple Watch SE has an always-on altimeter that offers real-time information on elevation. It helps with even the smallest of elevation changes and displays it on the new and dedicated watch face. The built-in compass has been optimized for better direction and compass headings and provides detailed inputs like incline, elevation, latitude and longitude, etc.

Apple Watch SE Health and Safety

Apple Watch SE offers improved health and safety features. With this watch, you can instantly call for help with the simple push-button for SOS and emergency services worldwide, regardless of where the device was purchased.

Its fall detection feature uses an algorithm along with the gyroscope and accelerometer to detect falls. It goes as far as analysing wrist trajectory and impact acceleration to send alerts which can be dismissed or used to initiate a call to emergency services. Moreover, if the watch does not detect motion for approximately 60 seconds after the fall, it initiates an emergency call by itself. Brilliant right?

There are innovative features like the latest microphones that can measure ambient sound level in the user’s environment and send notifications about decibel levels through the Noise app.

What Is the Difference Between the Apple Watch SE and Apple watch Series 6?

Apple Watch SE comes at a lower price tag compared to Apple Watch Series 6. This price difference comes from the difference in their processors and other key features. Apple Series 6 is powered by the latest 64-bit S6 dual-core processor while the Apple Watch SE has the old S5 dual-core processor.

The biggest difference in both these watches is possibly the presence of a blood oxygen monitoring support and an ECG monitor, which are present in the Series 6 and missing in the SE. Another notable difference is that the Apple Watch Series 6 supports dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz and 5GHz, whereas the Apple Watch SE supports just 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n.

They are otherwise similar in design, size, other features like accelerometer, always-on-altimeter and second-generation optical heart rate sensor. They both have a 32 GB storage capacity; support Apple Pay and Gym kit as well as Bluetooth v 5.0.
