Why the Apple Watch SE 3 is a Game-Changer

Let's be honest, the affordable smartwatch market has been a bit of a mess. Google’s Pixel Watch 4, with its deep Fitbit integration, has been a strong contender, offering excellent health tracking and a slick design. We can say the same for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, with its integration to Samsung Health. Both have given users a fantastic alternative to Apple's ecosystem, especially with its robust sleep and stress tracking features that, frankly, were ahead of what the old Watch SE offered.
But this new Apple Watch SE 3 changes the game. By adding features like wrist temperature sensing and more detailed sleep analysis, Apple isn't just catching up; it's putting serious pressure on the competition. The SE 3 is no longer just the "cheap" Apple Watch; it's a full-featured health and connectivity tool that just so happens to be affordable. For anyone with an iPhone, the value proposition here is almost impossible to ignore and makes choosing a non-Apple watch much more difficult.
The Apple Watch SE 3 can be pre-ordered today at $249 for the 40mm model and $279 for the 44mm model. It will be available on September 19th.
The lack of an always-on display on the previous SE models was a dealbreaker for me. It always felt like a core part of the smartwatch experience was missing. With that single feature now included, the Apple Watch SE 3 has transformed from a good option into the default recommendation for most iPhone users.
