This year, three new models of the Apple Watch have been introduced: the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3, and Apple Watch Ultra 3. The Apple Watch Ultra 3, priced at $799, is targeted towards athletes and a premium market. In contrast, the Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 are more accessible, with starting prices of $249 and $399, respectively.
The Apple Watch SE 3 has undergone significant enhancements compared to its predecessor, the SE 2. It features the updated S10 chip, an always-on display, and improved durability. Notably, it includes new health tracking capabilities, such as a wrist-temperature sensor that aids in sleep analysis and reproductive health insights. These advancements make it a compelling option for those seeking essential smartwatch functionalities.
While the Series 11 and Ultra 3 provide modest upgrades, the SE 3 stands out as an affordable choice for first-time buyers and younger users. Both the SE 3 and Series 11 share similar health monitoring features, including notifications for heart rate irregularities and low cardio fitness, making the SE 3 a strong contender for users who may not need the additional features offered by the more expensive models.
