- Apple now has a new Apple Watch Series 9 with a faster S9 chip, new double tap feature, a brighter display, and some new software tricks. However with the Apple Watch SE still in the lineup at $249 is it still worth it or should you avoid it at all costs?

Hi, i have a series 4, should I upgrade ?
@@ramblr5900unless your watch is starting to show signs of wear then no, i also have a series 4 and its perfectly functional
I used the hand gestures from accessibility for my series 6 and over the two years since feature was released it was a huge battery drain and basically wrecked my battery which is at 78%. I’m happy to see it being used as mainstream for some features as the new chip and battery efficiencies would’ve offset the initial burn I was experiencing. I’ve ordered the ultra2 so looking forward to it all.
I just updated from a gen 1 to a Series 9. I was able to snag it with cellular for $499 for the 45mm and am pretty pleased so far.
Prob go with SE bc it will be my first Apple Watch. Thanks for the info
I want to upgrade from a series 4. Both options are great and both at very different price points.
Actually in the watch se you can get the assistive touch thing too by just updating it so get the se it’s cheap and has like 85% to 90% of the same features
I had an older SE and just upgraded to the series 8. I am happy with it, I don’t need the 9 due to the price difference. I am loving the always on display and 1mm larger is actually noticeable to me. I don’t mind 1000 nits. Seems fine to me.
I had the series se first gen as well with lte and gps then traded up to series 8 with lte as well I love the updates on it no much different then the series 9
This will be my 1st apple watch ever and 1st smart watch in over 7 years. So I think I'll go for Series 9.
My Daughter got me the SE for gift. First time user but usually into tech. It was not what I expected but after first week was addicted. Was really impressed how apps like stocks etc make it so you dont need phone in hand all time. It was way more functional than expected.
Thanks for sharing. I’m staying with my Watch Series 7. Blessings on your day!
SE is definitely the way to go hands down!
Going from SE1 to series 9, motivated by trade in value from apple store of $90.
I just moved from a 40mm 7 series to 44mm SE. No change in performance, just as snappy. I wanted bigger face without paying silly price. I don’t miss always on display (never used it save battery) so far I’m really impressed with the SE. For day to day use it’s just as good as the 7 which I rocked for two years and three months. Was looking a bit worn and tired.
I have the SE and this is my first so I will wait but I really enjoyed your vidéo thank you ❤
I’ve pre ordered the S9 because my Samsung gear S3 is starting to give up the ghost saying that it is 6 years old, looks like I’ll receive it in about a week 😊
Tnx, exactly the information i was looking for.
This review helped me make take the right decision. Thanks mate
I was looking for some video like this. Well differentiated. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for your review, very interesting!
I have an Apple Watch series 4 and I was thinking if it’s worth the buy to change it for an SE, especially for the battery, mine is literally dying ☠️
Would you upgrade if you have the original se
Thanks for the video. I have se 2 series and was undecided whether to upgrade to 9. I think I’ll wait a bit as my se works so fine for my needs! ❤
I got the series 9 45mm only because I wanted pink, so my husband got my series 7 and I gave away my series 3 and SE . Definitely don’t see a difference between the 7 & 9
Had series 3,couldn’t survive my rugged life moved to huawei 3pro the strap and screen not strong enough now back to Ultra and loving it.
Great insights. Subscribed!
amazing video! this helps a lot
Are the heart rate sensors and sleep, blood oxygen etc. Better than the SE?
SE is the perfect value/quality watch AW. Two days battery life with two hours of GPS training outside. Always on display isn't a big thing, neither the size of the display or ECG. I think fast charging is the shttest thing that apple cut from SE watch.
I love my se2 its more than enough for me I dont need any extra features what I will never use it. I never had any issue to see the watch in direct sunlight, and its fast enough.
What size do you have? My wrist is 165mm and I do like smaller watches what you suggest?
very well explained. not just like other channels just reading off ads or apple spec sheets. thank you.
I was split over which one to buy, series 9 or se. Saw few other videos but not satisified. I like the way you start off with tons of confidence. Hope your video will be useful to make my purchasing decision. (Wrote at 1st min of your video)
I just lost my Apple Watch Series 3. I’m excited to get the Series 9 since it’s been a while since I’ve had a new one. I never thought I’d depend on my Apple Watch as much as do. But I love it & can not be without one. I’m a mom & professor so the convenience of a smart watch is important for my life style. Thanks for this review. It made me feel better about my choice to go for the 9 over the other newer version.
I rolled with the series 9. You know the old saying, better to have and not use then need and not have. Referring to the upgrades.
Great video! For me, personally, I am looking specifically for some of the health apps including blood oxygen an ECG, so it looks like the series 9 is the way to go. I did have a series 3 in the past so I’m sure the 9 will feel like quite an upgrade
Thanks very much really enjoyed your informative and impartial opinions and review
for normal ppl who doesnt have cardiac problems it dont be worth it
@@shooppiChan Agree. I've had various devices with similar functions and outside of being a neat novelty to look at when I first get them, I basically never touch those features again.
@@shooppiChan So, we take it you are a “normal” person?
Look man I’ve had the series 2 well before the 7, I’ve had an Apple Watch that doesn’t have an AOD, it makes a big difference. I’m not sure why you’re recommending the SE when the 7 will be similarly priced but include more features. I don’t recommend this video necessarily, just do your own research on apple watch specs and figure out which one is best for you.
So at the start of the year i made the move from Samsung to apple (phone - 14 Pro Max) and have been running with my galaxy watch in the clunky way that that happens. I have the option of a 1.5mo SE 40mm gps/cellular watch for $200 (AU$) from a friend. I dont think I need lots of fluff of the series 9, so I'm guessing this would be the way to go for me?
After watching a couple of your videos, if you already have an SE probably worth sticking with it for another year. If you are just buying one now then go with a 9 or ultra if you don't mind pay the extra over the SE price.
Thx very helpful 😊
Rocking my first gen Watch SE till it's unusable lol. Watch os 10 is a nice update to keep it afloat for more time
Mine just died with the update. Its battery was getting shittier before but after the update now it doesn’t even last half the day. 80% capacity and it’s showing. I have to upgrade. I was going to wait another year but oh well.
My wife still uses her apple watch 3.. She is absolutely happy with it and I was hoping Apple will finally redesign the apple 9 so that I can upgrade her series 3,but unfortunately.. I think we will need to wait for the 10.. Let's see
Will the display stay on if I have timer running on the Apple Watch SE 2023 model?
Pre ordered the 9, as this would be my very first smart watch.
With you ! ❤
Me too.
Same lol.
Same!
You’re gonna love it.
Mister Greg this did not help me :( I'm still undecided
I'm waiting on something to push me over the line one or the other and I'm not finding it.
Do you have any extra juicy intel on these products? Does one take longer to charge than the other?
Great review, Greg, *Thank you!* ❤
why is there no metal bracelet for the ultra 2? and the series 9 costs 1149 Euro with metal strap
I purchased an Apple Watch series 9 (GPS) 45mm. It was on sale at Best Buy, less $60.00 off. I upgraded from an Apple Watch series 5. I love the battery life, short charging time, plus the blood oxygen sensor feature. Great watch.
Great video, very helpful. Thank you.
I had a S6 Apple Watch and 'upgraded' to the SE Apple Watch last week. I mostly used my watch as a fitness tracker and it made more sense to save money.
Hey quick question
Is the fitness tracker good on the se? I just wanna track my calories burned really
@@daveaunparks8498it’s better than other options, and just as good as on the normal apple watches.
@@daveaunparks8498it’s one of the most accurate ones out there. Did you manage to get one? I’m deciding on one and confused between 40mm and 44mm I’ve got 164mm wrist
I am looking to replace a Garmin watch. (Venu SQ)
It is struggling with things like connection after 2 years of use and I have a iPhone.
My wrist is thin, so the Ultra are too big for me.
I want at least all the features my Garmin watch has. I want to flip my arm to see the time, so not always on.
Would it be possible to wear a SE 2023 for 24 hours in a row without going empty? What would be the benefits of cellular or no cellular?
And looking at longer term durability, would a 9 last much longer than a SE 2023 or would it just be the same?
I've never owned any smart watch. Which one should I buy? I also want to reduce my screen time by using Apple Watch.
Upgrading from first gen SE to series 9
I was very confused as to why you mentioned the series 5 at first, but now It makes sense at the end of the video. I thought you just meant series 9, I think in the future adding, "when comparing it to previous models like the series 5 that already have these features" would be more clear. Vs just randomly mentioning the series 5 mid video when talking about ECG between the SE and 9.
Thanks to this video I’m a lot more happy upgrading from my Fitbit versa 2 I got January 2019 (perfect timing, right 😅) and no longer serves my lifestyle quite right to the SE!!
I'm in the same boat. Are you enjoying the se? Any regrets not getting the 9? I'm in 2 minds what to get
So the s9 is not available in black ?
Great video thanks!
I really think i want the SE but not having the always on display bothers me. as someone who runs and does crossfit, and plans to use it daily do you think it's a big hustle? Is the turn your hand to view on SE works well and don't interrupt in daily use?
Will the midnight attract fingerprints like on the M2 MacBookAir?
Do you think iphone 14 pro max can get find my iPhone option in an update later as apple watch series 9 won’t find the precious location for Iphone models other than 15
Thanks for the great apple vids appreciate it
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you very much! This was what I needed to know as never owning an apple watch before. I'll get the SE :)
You did it go did you make the right decision? I’m on the same spot as you
when will watch os 10 be available ????
Series 7 will get another year on my wrist 💯
Ultra it is
I have the first SE watch and it works fine for me. The only think I really use my watch for is for alarms and checking messages. Occasionally I turn the sleep feature on.I like to watch videos on the newer watches because I'm sure at some point I'll see one that really interests me. Guess I am just waiting for the right one. Just want to reiterate that the SE is a great watch!
I wear a series 3 still. Still works great
should i get one and is it worth it and which series should i get?!
i currently have a farmin vivoactive 3 still from, what was it, 2018? Really trying to chose which watch to get right now
Not sure how long your hair has been like that Greg but it really does suit you!
does the new se has keyboard in cellular version?
I'm thinking of going for the 9. IS that the only one which allows the ECG?
Thanks for this!
Still happy with my series 7.
What size S9 you have you your thumbnail?
I still use the series 1 lol, I may upgrade this year
I own a series 3 , oh yeah and it still works great. Do you recommend upgrading to 8 or 9(the price 🤔). I’m >45 years so looking for something that will run for the next 6 years. I’m mostly interested in the health tracking features and I use it to track fitness as well
I think I’d go for the 9 in that case. It gets the new chip and new features. And usually Apple supports devices at least 5 or so years so you’d be set for quite some time
Series 9 it has more health features such as ECG. The SE does not do that.
Ordered the ultra 2 :)
Ive had the se/my first apple watch since mid 2022 my Maximum battery capacity is 89% and I’m watching this video because i might upgrade soon
I have the series 9 cellular on order
I will like ultra 1 if price get down 😊
Can’t wait for the in depth review
I first ordered a SE in starlight. My first. Loved it so much I ordered a 9 with a Hermes’ band…❤
I’m thinking to upgrade to the 9 only because I want thinner black border
I had apple watch 8, I gave it to someone else who liked it and plan on buying SE.
I was not using any of the extra features that SE does not have.
Really, I thought always on display would be the one thing I would use but would turn it off to have battery last longer.
For sleep and activity tracking I dont like apple watch very much anyway and rely more on whoop or fitbit.
So watching weather, spotify, podcast, pick the phone, watch time, check sound volumes , talk on the phone, and some other stuff were the main.
Can you use like youtube on it or smn like that?
I have a ultra I use my wife got it for me cause she works for the phone and cable company so she gets 70 percent off Apple and Samsung phones and cellular watches. My girl uses her watch to work out mostly and to track. I pre ordered her for her birthday next month the midnight 41mm Nike midnight sky series 9. She will be coming from a series 3 so I figured it would be nice upgrade. Especially since the series 3 isn’t getting the new watchOS update. I think the Apple Watches are great. Me being a ex d1 athlete who’s stuck working in the world that still plays and works out and likes to track everything i think it’s awesome. Personally I think the best watch for outdoors and tracking is the new garmin. But the accessibility and integration with Apple just makes it a no brainer over anything even better!
I think I am going to go with the SE cellular as my first watch. Looking forward to going on runs with Spotify & my AirPods, while leaving the iPhone at home. What size do you recommend?
Love your videos, Greg!
It depends on your usage and the size of your hand wrist
Saving up for the 9, 41mm! Does it matter which size sport band goes with the 41?@@pwk5380
44 for battery. I bought the small one, 40% are gone in 50 minutes of running with cellular, no music. 7 and forward have fast charge, which is nice for the days you come home with a bit lower battery health.
Going from the 7 to the Ultra 2
I still have series 3. And I still think I will stick with them for probably next year or two. Those new watches are amazing but there is still no "big reason" for me to upgrade.
If they would gave me at least a two-three day battery?! I would upgrade immediately.
how long you have ?
@@smartlearning6390 Do you mean like for how long I have them? Since they came out in 2017.. so 6 years.
@@smartlearning6390 Do you mean like for how long I have them? Since they came out in 2017.. so 6 years.
@@smartlearning6390I have same series I’ve had since 2019….
Could get a normal series watch over an SE if I have the money mainly for display design.
I only have the Apple Watch Series 5 and look into upgrade. Be off to the Apple Store to pick up a new series 9.
thank you sir
I don’t like the new charge sound or lack there of… I mean, its there, it’s just way less prominent
Still rocking my series 6 and I don’t see the need to upgrade until the battery life tanks..
I’ve been rocking the Apple Watch Series 6 for a while now. If I were to upgrade, which watch should I get?
9
I’m upgrading to the new s9
I have the s5 and after 4 years the battery is drained and the heart rate sensor is soooo slow. Also it always stops picking up my activity during workouts. The won’t even work when I’m swimming anymore. So excited for it to come on Friday, I’m gonna go to the pool to test it!
Also, I’m a pink lover so that’s a huge bonus
I wanna buy my first Apple Watch what do u recommend SE or the series 9?
Greetings
People here are making good analogies. As for myself, I would probably choose the AWS 9 GPS, because I don't have a cellular plan for my phone either (around here people pay 20 USD per month for unlimited access, but it's a lifestyle choice to balance between offline content i.e., books and audiobooks, and then using public/private wifi for active data streams). I can download Audible audiobooks on device and listen via Bluetooth without internet connection, and use several of the trackers online/offline. If I needed to stay in touch at a moment's notice, I could always take my phone with me. I figured seeing as I won't need the cellular option in the coming months, I can always upgrade in the future if it becomes necessary.
I use series 7. I have been waiting for longer battery for years now. At least 24 hours or more. I would love to try Ultra but it seems too big for my small wrist. Do you think next year we may get longer battery life in regular Apple Watch ??
I don't understand why Apple watches have such short battery lives. Other brands go for weeks, some for months.. Battery tech has made such progress in the past couple of years, surely this should show in the watches now?
I own a Apple Watch 6 at this time. I do not plan on moving to a new Apple Watch until new health tracking features are part of a new model.
The model I would be moving to is the Ultra with the sapphire crystal watch face. I have owned a high end precision watch in the past with sapphire crystal watch face that cost as much as the Ultra. The only thing it did was tell time.
Does anyone know the difference between the dictation on the SE and the 9? I think for my job that would be my main concern. TIA
I’m enjoying my Apple Watch SE first generation
Went from a series 6 to a series 9 and the screen display is better and brighter it’s faster it don’t take siri 2 minutes to do a task alot of screen on display perfect for typing and the gesture pinch is helpful when working out and playing music very good at skipping songs
May I ask if you turn down on Watch 9 the screen brightness to 50%, will that match the Watch 8 brightness but double its battery power?
No
I have ordered the Apple Watch Series 9 without cellular! Cellular is of no use to me as ,y iPhone 14 Pro goes everywhere with me, literally everywhere!
I have an Apple se watch but I wish I hadn’t bought it as I don’t have a clue how it works apart from telling the time
