Why buy the Apple Watch SE 2 (2022) if you’re an iPhone user
The Apple Watch SE 2 is a great option for those who want a cheaper alternative to the Watch Series 9. While it drops a few features over the standard model to bring its cost down, it does keep the major tracking capabilities. For instance, it supports continuous heart rate monitoring with irregular notifications and low cardio notifications. Plus, you get extended sleep tracking with insights into sleep stages debuted in watchOS 10.
Like the pricier Apple Watch models, the Watch SE 2 features workout recognition for many exercises and comes with auto-pause/resume function. The watch itself is waterproof, so you can bring it to water-based activities like swimming.

In terms of safety, it has fall detection and crash detection integrated with emergency SOS. With a cellular connectivity, this lets you leave your iPhone at home and without worrying of missing important calls, messages, or notifications.
Despite the smaller size, the Watch SE 2’s battery life is rated to last for 18 hours between charges, which is similar to the Watch Series 9. With a power saver mode, you can extend this to another day or two, more than doubling its usual running time.
