The Apple Watch SE hits a middle ground of modern Apple Watch specs at a lower price than the Series 6 or upcoming Series 7.

Older specs

The Apple Watch Series 3’s age also includes its overall specifications, and it’s not just a storage space difference as mentioned in the last section. The Series 3 includes an S3 SiP with a dual-core processor, a version of the optical heart sensor available in 2017 and on the 38mm version a 563 square millimeter display area. While newer updates do add compatibility with services like Apple Fitness Plus, a software update does not change that many of these specs are showing their age. The Apple Watch SE by comparison has a newer chip with a 64-bit dual-core processor, a second-generation version of the optical heart sensor and on the 40mm version includes a 759 sq mm display area that’s far roomier than the Apple Watch Series 3’s display.
