Build & Display
The second-generation Watch SE maintains a similar appearance to its predecessor, featuring a square chassis with the familiar side button and digital crown. The cases are made of 100% recycled aluminum and are available in 40mm and 44mm sizes. While the overall design remains unchanged, Apple has made improvements to the back casing, using a color-matched nylon composite material that contributes to slightly lighter build quality.
Compared to the previous model, the Watch SE 2022 is approximately 10% lighter, weighing 30.7 grams for the 40mm version and 32.9 grams for the 44mm version (36.4 grams for cellular models). Color options for the Watch SE 2022 include Midnight, Starlight, and Silver.
In terms of the display, there are no significant changes. It still features a Retina LTPO OLED screen with a maximum brightness of 1000 nits. However, it does not support always-on display functionality, which is available in Apple’s higher-end models. The screen is protected by Ion-X glass, ensuring resistance against scratches and breakages. While this entry-level smartwatch is dust-resistant, it is also capable of being submerged in water up to 50 meters, making it swim-proof.
Performance
It also received a significant improvement in its performance, now the smartwatch utilizes the Apple S8 processor, which is the same powerful chip found in the latest Watch Series 8 and the premium Apple Watch Ultra models. Apple claims that the performance of the 2022 SE will be 20% faster compared to the Apple Watch Series 7, which was powered by the S7 chip.
Well now out of the performance, Apple also improved the watch’s cellular version by supporting global data roaming. Meaning that users can access cellular data services while traveling internationally. Currently, this feature is compatible with 30 different telecom providers, including those in the US, UK, and China.
Then the watch is paired with watchOS 9, the operating system specifically designed for Apple Watches. Most importantly this OS is the introduction of “Low Power Mode,” which helps to conserve battery life. When enabled, this mode disables automated workout recognition and certain other features. While also including an AFib history feature, an enhanced Compass app, and improved sleep tracking with “Sleep Stages” functionality.
Crash detection
Most importantly it offers a feature that can detect auto accidents and provide a connection to emergency contacts or services. Apple has incorporated an improved 3-axis gyroscope, G-force accelerometer, microphone, barometer, and GPS, which work together to enable this functionality.
While the previous versions lack some advanced health features like blood oxygen and ECG tests, they still include a wide range of health and fitness tracking functions commonly found in high-end Apple smartwatches. Unlike the Watch Ultra and Series 8, which are more expensive options that offer skin temperature measurement, this watch allows you to monitor your heart rate and menstrual cycle and offers various workout modes.
Moreover, you will also receive a 3-month subscription to Apple Fitness+, which provides access to a variety of fitness-related content and workouts.
Battery & Other Features
The battery life of the device remains unchanged compared to previous models, providing approximately 18 hours of usage according to Apple. However, it’s worth noting that the Watch SE does not support quick charging, so it takes approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge.
