Apple Watch SE 3 vs SE 2: The Budget Apple Watch Just Got a Massive Upgrade
Apple Watch SE 3 adds tougher Ion-X glass, an Always-On Retina display, and the S10 chip used in the Series 11, enabling on-device Siri and double-tap gestures. Wrist temperature sensors and 5G cellular support debut on SE 3, while battery life remains 18 hours. SE 3 drops the Silver finish and requires an iPhone 11 or newer. Both models are water resistant to 50m and run watchOS 26.
