The Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) in its Starlight Aluminium Case paired with the Starlight Sport Band is a testament to Apple's commitment to blending functionality with style. The watch's aesthetic is both sleek and modern, with the Starlight color giving it a unique and sophisticated touch that can easily transition from a workout session to a night out.Performance-wise, the 2nd generation SE doesn't disappoint. It offers a smooth user experience, with apps launching quickly and the touch response being as intuitive as one would expect from an Apple product. The GPS feature is accurate and reliable, making it a great companion for outdoor activities and workouts. The fitness tracking capabilities are commendable, offering a wide range of metrics that cater to both casual users and fitness enthusiasts.The display is bright and clear, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight. The raise-to-wake feature is quite responsive, and the haptic feedback provides a tactile experience that feels premium. The integration with the iPhone is seamless, and the ability to receive notifications, answer calls, and even respond to messages directly from the watch is incredibly convenient.However, the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) is not without its shortcomings. While it offers a plethora of features, it lacks the always-on display, which is a feature present in some of the higher-end models. This means you'll need to raise your wrist or tap the screen to see the time or check notifications. Additionally, while the battery life is decent, lasting a full day on moderate use, it might require nightly charging for those who use it extensively throughout the day.The Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) is a solid mid-range offering from Apple. It encapsulates most of the essential features that users have come to love about the Apple Watch series, all while being presented in a stylish Starlight Aluminium Case. While it might not have all the bells and whistles of its pricier counterparts, it offers great value for its price point and is a worthy consideration for those looking to enter the Apple Watch ecosystem or upgrade from an older model.

Great buy, very clear not laggy, sits nice on the wrist, easy to setup and connect to your iPhone but the battery life isn’t ideal it gets really annoying having to plug in every night but overall good purchase

Bought in August 2022, still wearing and using it March 2025. It's got a couple of scratches on it now, but the battery life is still great. Just what you expect from Apple, works well with the apple eco-system, talks to my phone/laptop and great product overall!

GREAT PURCHASE, GREAT VALUE

Great little smart watch. Bought it 2 years ago and it is still working great. The battery could be a little better but lasts at least 1 day.

I am comfortable with Apple watches having owned a series 3 and now series 8.I purchased this for my wife as her smart watch has just broken and as she doesn’t like the larger sized watch screen the 40mm SE is just right for her.Easy to set up aided by her phone and shares many of the latest features the more expensive versions has.Pretty good value for a premium brand.This model doesn’t share the always on screen and the battery life doesn’t seem that great.My five year old series 3 still lasts more than a day, this one requires a recharge every day.My wife isn’t keen on the strap design ( ignore my photo I am aware the strap is incorrectly fitted ).A number of new watch faces bring the watch up to date and there is a vast app catalogue to chose from.Lots of fitness and sleep options.Measure your heart rate.Setting up a card to Pay using Apple Pay is a synch.Nice colour option too.

Previously owened an Apple Watch for 2 years and downgraded to a Fitbit due to wanting a product I wouldn't have to charge every day.BIG MISTAKE!!!This is the best smartwatch in my opinion. The ONLY downside is every day charging.But features such as weather, shazam on your wrist, better exercise and sleep functions, music on your wrist and lots of other useful features make up for the low battery life.Apple Health connects up better to tonnes more apps than Fitbit does.A lovely, useful watch.

This was a gift given to someone. The recipient says that the watch is 'lovely'...except...there's no strap keeper on the watch band! Having a small wrist means that there is a length of strap always sticking out! This is a slightly cut down version of the the mighty Apple Watch, but it's none the worse for that, although the battery life could be better.
