Apple Watch Series 9 VS SE - DON'T BE FOOLED!

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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Going from SE1 to series 9, motivated by trade in value from apple store of $90.

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.

Series 7 will get another year on my wrist 💯

I wear a series 3 still. Still works great

[BrianMason]

SE is definitely the way to go hands down!

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 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.

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.

Pre ordered the 9, as this would be my very first smart watch.

[lisaspeed]

Prob go with SE bc it will be my first Apple Watch. Thanks for the info

[thitikornsrichomphoo]

I've never owned any smart watch. Which one should I buy? I also want to reduce my screen time by using Apple Watch.

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 was in a really bad car accident in a head on collision. Not my fault my Apple Watch dialed 911 and the paramedics were there fast. I’m always going to be a Apple user.

I am so torn, I LOVE the look of the series 9 and always on display and more storage. The price difference is insane though….

[Harvester]

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.
