Apple Watch SE 3 review: the bargain smartwatch for iPhone

[NomadCrafterPulse]

I'm thinking about getting one of these Apple Watch SE 3s... I've been eyeing them for a while now . The always-on display is a major selling point for me - I hate it when my phone or watch screen goes to sleep and I have to check the time . But, at the same time, I'm not sure if 40% recycled materials is enough... shouldn't tech companies be doing more to reduce waste? And what's with the battery life - 1.5 days just doesn't seem long enough for a daily watch

I mean have you seen the specs on this new Watch SE 3? It's like they took all the good stuff from the Series 11 and put it in a more affordable package! The always-on display is a game changer - I can see why people would want that feature without breaking the bank

But what's up with the lack of certain health metrics, tho? It's like they left some features on the cutting room floor . Still, for casual users or those on a budget, I think it's a solid choice .

Design-wise, I'm not sure about the older look - I mean, I've seen better-designed watches from 2018 . But hey, it still feels premium and solid in the hand

And can we talk about sustainability for a sec? Over 40% recycled materials is NO CHILL . And trade-in options are always a win-win .

Battery life isn't bad either - 1.5 days on a single charge is decent . Not perfect, but for casual users, it's fine

All in all, I think the SE 3 is an amazing value proposition . Who wouldn't want a solid smartwatch at an affordable price?
