Apple Watch SE (1st generation) (GPS + Cellular, 40mm) Smart watch - Space Grey Aluminium Case with Tornado/Grey Sport Loop. Fitness & Activity Tracker, Heart Rate Monitor, Water Resistant

The media could not be loaded.  Pros:1. Works seamlessly with all the features of iOS15 like the focus mode and syncs just about right (with occasional disparities).2. Carrying the phone is not necessary while out for a jog and tracks everything almost perfectly.3. In addition to that, running some quick errands at a Tesco wont require carrying your phone either, apple pay works on the GPS variant without using internet (uses NFC)4. The haptic feedback is amazing and customisable, so missing notifications is highly unlikely.5. Heart rate monitor is excellent. I don’t find the absence of SpO2 worrying as it’s kind of gimmicky and you wouldn’t want to rely on a watch for serious health issues.6. Last but not the least, battery lasts for almost two days for me. Watch SE is a no-brainer for £219.Cons:1. Lack of third party apps! Spotify works as a remote perfectly but you cannot save songs offline on your watch and leave for a jog without your phone. No WhatsApp as well, you can reply only when someone messages you first.2. Basic things like timer do not sync with the iPhone. If you set a timer on your watch, you can’t cancel it from your iPhone.3. Display size looks small with lighter shaded watch faces for the black/space grey variant.4. The camera remote feature is alright, but is laggy and the watch viewfinder crops a lot of the original image!Caution: Only recommended for people with iPhones and not Android phones!

Quality item, loads of features.Very impressed.

The Watch is rlly decent for its discount price ( I got it for 177£) the battery doesn’t last long but if u charge it at night when u sleep and use it at day time it is indeed a perfect watch .

Ok so I bought this after months of deliberations and actually didn’t open it for about 4 weeks after delivery as was still toying with whether to keep it/Use it or not.I have to say it is really another phone but in a watch to put it bluntly. Does everything you would expect, Walk Tracking, message receiving, shows messages as it would on your phone. I bought this in the sale at £230 which I think is about right… currently I think it’s about £300 which I’ll be honest is too much for what it is. You can obviously make calls and messages, and although doesn’t have WhatsApp App as such, it will alert you to messages received (As it does with other apps that is not available on the iwatch) and let you type responses which is good.One thing to note: If you are on a contract sim then you can easily add this to the watch via your phone and make and receive calls on your watch when you are out and about and you leave your phone at home.If you are on PAY AS YOU GO then you CANNOT unless the phone is nearby ie in your home if you are or in your pocket so just be wary. I don’t think that’s anything to do with Apple but phone networks in general.Been using for about 3 weeks now and very happy and happy with what I’ve got for the price I paid.

+ Absolutely love this watch and couldn’t imagine life without it. So handy for everything when you don’t have your phone at hand. Do yourself a favour and just buy it!- Wish battery lasted longer

Have been using this for a few months now and I really like it. Once the trends kick in after a few months of use, you get really useful infomation about heart rate, exercise trends etc. It looks good and the strap is much better than previous Fitbits that I had. Screens are easy to read and customise. My only complaint is that you have to charge it every day. It won't get through 48 hours without a charge.

I paid £215 for the 40mm cellular model with the Sport Loop strap instead of the Sport Band (the rubber thingy), that is £104 less than the SE Gen 2 (w. cellular), £315 less then Series 8 (w. cellular), however both the SE Gen 2 and Series 8 can often be found for slightly less on Amazon.With that being said, the SE Gen 1 for £215 is a GREAT value, but the prices changes very frequently, currently it's at £270 which is not such a great deal. The 44mm cellular w. Sport Loop is currently at £265, two days ago it was £309.Things to keep in mind. This watch was initially released 3 years ago, so it might only receive software support for another 3-4 years, it doesn't have some of the features that the non-SE models have (always-on display, ECG, blood oxygen sensor, crash detector and more) so it's not the smartest smart watch around, but pretty good.One thing I just I dislike about all the Apple Watches, I find the sleep tracking be almost unusable without the AutoSleep App which you have to pay for. Nothing crazy honestly and the AutoSleep is well worth it.So if you're looking for a smart watch, SE Gen 1 Cellular w. Sport Loop is great, if you get it for the right price.Good Price for the SE Gen 1.- 40mm Cellular w. Sport Loop: £220 or less- 44mm Cellular w. Sport Loop: £260 or less

This is the first Apple Watch I’ve owned. For the price in comparison to the new models I think this is a great product. I use it a lot to track my fitness goals etc and that works really well (the stand feature is a little annoying, but that can be turned off).Really simple to set up and seems very durable! I get about 2.5 days of battery life in a full charge. This is with quite active use, so tracking my workouts, using it to switch music etc.I bought a cover for mine as I didn’t want it to get scratched, but I know people who have never covered theirs without issue.This version has a dark screen, and to display the time you either have to flick/raise your wrist or tap the screen. There’s no option to keep the time constantly on. So bear that in mind if that feature is important to you.
