I thought about upgrading to Ultra 2 but finding it hard to justify. I still get a day use out of the battery.

Rocking the Series 3 over here 😂

I’m still rocking the SE and I am happy with it. It would have to be a very, very very special deal offered to me for me to upgrade at this point.

Are we not supposed to?

Still rocking my SE but battery at 75% . Just need to replace the battery and should be good for another 3 years .

I bought an SE 1 refurbished at the beginning of last year for $200. No reason to get anything more, really. If I were getting one for the first time I would go with a 9, though. The better Siri and keyboard would be nice.

Yeah. Still using the SE1 here and it’s just fine. Showing its age obviously, but it’s hard to justify upgrading when it still does everything I need just fine. Gonna rock it till it’s obsolete unless I find a spectacular deal on the Ultra.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yup picked it up at Walmart in July for $150. Tough to go wrong.

Series 3, feel like I’ve had it for 4 or 5 years now.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Me. Does what I need & I’m not paying >$700 for an Ultra.

i’m still rocking the 3rd gen

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Still rocking with the 1st ge SE. I've thought about upgrading to series 9 for better battery but don't want to spend more money just for an upgraded battery. My SE can do everything the series 9 can so far I've seen just less better sensors and not as good battery.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Me. 1st gen SE and ima use it till it dies then I'll get another SE

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’m getting the ultra 2 tomorrow

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The SE is essentially the AW4 body with upgraded SIP and sensors for each iteration forward: SE1 has the S5 SIP and the SE2 has the S8 SIP. If budget is the primary consideration however, I’d say the AW6 is the “sweet spot” in terms of feature set and price for the refurb market in places like backmarket.com.

The “clutch” feature that is missing on the SE models is the Always On Display, since being able to glance at the time from your wrist without needing to raise to wake is a primary function for a wristwatch IMHO and something that annoyed me when it was missing from my older AW2.

I don’t think it’s a “cost saving” measure on Apple’s part, since an LTPO screen is included, but rather a withheld feature to make consumers look to the next model up for the upgrade path.

If it is a hardware restriction however, IMO it’s something they should include in the SE3. The AOD can be manually turned off if the feature annoys you or you can go into low power mode if you are trying to optimize battery so there’s no reason to not include that feature.

Who's still rocking Gen 0?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Working with the first ultra now

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I got my SE back in January of 2021 and have been using it daily ever since! Love it to bits, and I love it even more with snoopy!! (Though what I really want is a muppets watchface)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I have the se2

My wife's SE died this summer

She bailed in favor of a Garmin

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

None of the SE models are actually that old yet since the first generation only released 3 years ago, they’re all great devices! Never owned one as I had a Series 4 from two years before the SE and it lasted me 5 years before replacing it due to battery but it’s quite a similar watch.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

First gen SE with 87% battery health

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

SE here as well. I have zero desire to get a replacement for it right now.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Series 5 over here 😂

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I got mine with my phone when I just barely switched from android

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

SE2 44mm. Upgraded from a series 2 a couple of months ago. Love it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Best of all for sure

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just recently got the SE2 on a good deal, very happy. I had a Garmin Vivo but the SE having SoS and crash detection is what drove me to replace Garmin. The Garmin had a long life though but that was because it wasn’t a fancy screen and was more geared toward fitness.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I did until just last month. Had a crack and got a S9. Honestly, the whole “double tap” feature is such a gimmick. Significantly better battery life was the only difference i’ve noticed so far.

I am still rocking the 3
