Each part is rated on one scale for every smartwatch and band, from reviewers' accuracy tests and measured battery life where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Workout heart-rate averages close to a chest strap
  • GPS distance almost identical to a Garmin over 10.5 miles
  • Same fast S10 chip as the pricier models
  • Simple, reliable sleep score
  • Good value
  • Always-on screen finally on the SE
  • As quick as the flagship models

Cons

  • Second-by-second heart rate jumpy in intervals and cold weather
  • Single-band GPS tracks less smooth
  • Battery only lasts about a day, so sleep tracking needs a daily charge
  • Old design with thick bezels
  • No ECG or blood-oxygen
  • Dated look
  • No ECG or hypertension alerts
  • Best first smartwatch for iPhone owners; on a 90-minute run its average heart rate stayed close to a Garmin HRM 600 chest strap and GPS distance was within 50 m of a Garmin.

  • TechRadarSep 2025

    The Apple Watch most people should buy if they can skip the newest look and advanced health tools; worn alongside a Series 11 and Ultra 3 it gave similar heart-rate and sleep numbers (no chest strap test).
