In 2022, at the regular fall presentation, Apple introduced an updated range of smartwatches. In addition to the new series, the budget one - SE. The second generation SE received a new processor and a modified back cover.
Simplified, But Not Simple Version
SE 2 received a new powerful and efficient processor S8, which is installed on the so-called "golden mean" watches - Watch 8 and Ultra. The watches have all the necessary functions that allow you to successfully engage in sports and perform everyday tasks:
Wi-Fi;
Bluetooth version 5.3;
single-frequency GPS;
fall detection and emergency call function;
heart rate monitor;
accelerometer, gyroscope;
NFC;
Family Setup or an application that allows you to track a child's location;
Automatic workout detection;
sport application Fitness+;
memory size 32 GB.
The watch runs on OS 9.2., which has received wider capabilities and more sports applications and add-ons. The device is equipped with a heart rate monitor. There is a body temperature sensor, allowing even to track the cycle, which is important for most women.
Display and Body
The device has received an OLED panel and a lon-X protective glass. Screen brightness - 1000 nits.
The watches are available in 2 sizes: 40 and 44 mm. The smaller version has a screen resolution of 324 x 394 pixels, and the larger one has 368 x 448.
Users who prefer functional, lightweight, and practically invisible gadgets prefer these sizes. The case is made of aviation aluminum, and the back cover is made of a nylon composite material resistant to mechanical damage.
Other Features
The battery capacity is 296 mAh, which is sufficient for 18 hours of active use. If some applications are not used, the watch will not require charging for up to 2 days.
Among the drawbacks, the absence of fast charging can be noted. Also, the bezels of the watch display are quite wide, which may not appeal to some users.
If the budget is limited, then you can opt for the SE 2 model. The device will also be suitable for those who have very old smartwatches with limited functionality, but the user is not ready to splurge on a more expensive version. The SE 2 watch will be a successful purchase for a child or elderly people. They are easy to use, have a moderate price, and allow tracking basic health indicators.
