Although the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra are dominating the news, Apple also announced a new Apple Watch SE alongside those two devices.
That’s fantastic news for those looking for a less expensive Apple Watch that still has the essential components that consistently win Apple the award for the best smartwatch.
But can the cheaper Series 8 be adequately replaced by the Apple Watch SE? There are similarities between the SE and Series 8, but what sets them apart? We specifically created this guide to address this issue.
You can pick whether Apple Watch is preferable by comparing the new Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 8’s key features.
The Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 8 appear remarkably similar, which is the first thing you’ll notice when comparing them. But there is a justification for that.
The SE often recycles the look of an Apple Watch from a few years ago, and since the release of the Series 4 in 2018, Apple hasn’t made significant design changes to the Watch.
Is Apple Watch 8 or Se better?
Apple Watch SE is our selection. The winner is… Nothing here should be a surprise. The superior smartwatch is the Apple Watch Series 8. It has a bigger, always-on display and greater health-tracking features.
