Thank you for the comparison of the three watch models! Until this video, I was not considering Series 7 thinking the Seris 8 was a significant upgrade, but after this video realized the 7 would deliver on what I need ;) - I'm not ovulating (am a male) and am not interested in dying anytime soon! 😊
I do ovulate and I find the cycle predictions with the Series 7 to be near perfect in accuracy. I bought the 8 because I am a sucker for shiny things but I think it's going back and I'll just keep my 7. My iPhone 14 Pro can handle crash detection.
You’ll turn off always on display within a week, because it does nothing but drain 2x battery. Basically, why you need display to be turned on when you’re not looking at it? Wake up feature does all that’s needed.
Not sure if anyone noticed, in US, aw8 is bluetooth 5.3, but in Canada or UK's apple website, the spec shows bluetooth 5.0 for aw8 standard version, 5.3 for ultra only. Not sure why there is different spec for different country.
I just got the 7 series coming from the Apple Watch 3. I was going to get the 8 model but was told it was minor difference. With that said I’m really impressed with the series 7 45MM.
I don’t really care for all the extra health features and AOD. So I grabbed the se2 and I’m fine with it. I got the newer chip and I’m able to wear it while dealing with sweat and rain so I’m good.
I agree but I only got it because I was previously on a S3 and the screen ripped off(long story) so I feel like since I’m doing such a jump it’s worth the buy
I was sold once you said the series 8 can last up to 5 years. I’m not that big on latest upgrades. Once I get it I don’t plan on upgrading again until 3 - 5 years, thanks.
Something to mention is that the se2 (in 44mm) is a lot lighetr than the 7/8 in 45, which is a nice thing for sports, but it also has a less resistant glass (at least in the specs)
I feel like the Series 7 came out so late around December 2021 when friends starting getting there orders. I decided to upgrade my series 3 to an SE 2020 edition at the time. Now I have a weird verdict on the apple watch in general. The series 6, & 7 share the same chipset but the series 6 models did not get a keyboard. The series 5 and SE 2020 share the same chipset and did not get keyboards either. Now I am super annoyed because the SE 2022 should get that feature of the keyboard since it lacks all the sensors and makes it less than the 8, or 7, & 6 models. I think if you want or purchase an SE 2022 model its pointless now, when you can get a series 7 around $300. When you leave out the sensors of ecg, oxygen and the keyboard typing and the screen is just as big on the bigger models for a keyboard it makes it less desirable. The 8 doesnt really bring enough improvements over the 7 just like the 7 vs the 6. So I was really excited to see what the watches would entail, but this isnt it. Im glad I watched this, because now I know stay away from the SE line. Go for a Series 7 since its cheaper with the features I want.
I'm watching this video in September 2024 and was planning on getting the SE 2 but saw I could get a refurbished Series 7 for about the same $200 price on Amazon ($250 for SE 2 on Apple website). Goes up about $75 for each other version until the newest Series 10 at $400. I ended up going to the Apple watch comparison page to better see the difference in stats: Series 7 has: slightly larger always-on display, ECG & Blood Oxygen apps, fast charging SE 2 has: not being refurbished, more colors as actively produced, crash detection, s8 vs s7 chip, ~18% lighter There are other minor differences but these are the main ones I saw. This is a hard choice. But in favor of getting a new and lighter item, and that I don't need ECG or always-on, I'll go for the SE 2. I lose the fast charging but I'll accept that for my first smartwatch. Saw I could save an extra $65 by buying a new 44mm one on eBay instead after all the taxes and stuff so doing that!! Looking forward to it.
Comparison that we all needed, thank you :) Suggestion, a one slider in the end summarising the comparison for 3 models on various features might be helpful and unique to your videos :) Good Luck..
Yea I upgraded to the Series 7 from the Series 4 and the upgrades were worth it imo. The extra screen real estate, always on display and better battery is what makes it really worth it
This is honestly a no brainer. Se 2 has most of everything series 8 has. Spending 2 hundred more dollars for a series which only delivers like blood oxygen sensors and other stuff I don't even need to use😂. And I'm a male so cycle tracking is useless and the material on the back of the se 2 considered as plastic isn't really a problem because it be ok my wrist the whole time. What matters is the material on top which shares the same glass material as the series 8 and the same aluminum as the series 8. The chip. The speed. Everything is the same. And always on isn't even and advantage, most customers turn it off in a week or so anyway because it’s a battery drainer. And the battery on the se 2 is perfect. It last for 2 days and charges from 0-100 in less than an hour for my usage expierence in the past week.
On the UK website and Europe , it states Bluetooth 5.0 for the 8 and SE. Only the Ultra was marked as having 5.3. That was bugging me that everyone was saying they all had it. The US and Asia Pacific does say 5.3 though. So something is not right here.
I’m on the series 6 still always skip a generation and I’m probably skipping this generation as well and gonna see what series 9 brings. This feels more like a series 7S doesn’t feel like too much of an upgrade over the 7.
I‘ve just ordered the SE 2. It will be my first Apple Watch. What I was looking for is an affordable smartwatch that integrates well with other Apple devices, has some useful features for health/safety monitoring and looks good. I work currently in a warehouse so I‘m kind of worried about durability, hopefully it will be fine. I might get Apple Care+ for it.
@@videesn1417 So far so good. I don't use it very actively (meaning not like a fitness watch), more like a regular watch + checking my notifications and occasionally my heart rate. But for what I use the watch, it works excellently. A full battery easily lasts a day, I usually put it on the charger after like every one and a half day. The motion sensor reacts to my raising/lowering my hand instantly so the lack of the AOD is not an issue in my opinion. Also, I wear the watch everyday during my work in the warehouse and so far there's no scratch on the display, let alone a crack, so I'm quite satisfied. I think it was a pretty good buy and I can't really think of any feature that I miss. Perhaps the ECG and the Blood Oxygen measurement because I'm kind of a hypochondriac, but if you're not, and you don't have some chronic heart disease, then you should be fine I guess (I'm not a doctor though) 😅
@@AJ-zo4pr Hmm.. sometimes when I want to reply to a message directly on the watch I wish I had a full keyboard, which is a feature supported on higher-end models but not on the SE. Also, bigger, higher-end models have somewhat better battery I believe, which is a nice thing to have. Other than these, I haven‘t wished for anything so far.
Hey @max, I’m sorry to indicate u that bluetooth version doesn’t affect audio quality transmission, it’s more about efficiency and probably latency features
Discounted series 7 cellular for my preteen. Would have gotten the SE because of the crash detection but I made the purchase in Sep when school started 😞 he mostly uses the music app, text, phone and Apple Pay for his allowance. Wish Google maps worked without an iPhone
WWill the Car Crash Detection on the watch work in the Winter in north eastern states and other cold states where people wear winter coats with thick sleeves. The microphone won't be capable of hearing the car glass breaking. I'm not sure that the Barometric pressure sensor would detect changes in cabin pressure due to the thickness of the coat sleeve. The upgraded gyroscope and accelerometer should work, but will the algorithm dial 911 without the other inputs. What do you think? Thanks
THIS is the exact video I was waiting for, I switched to iPhone again from Samsung + Samsung Watch, now I have a iPhone 14 pro and I am looking to get one of these 3 models, this video will hopefully make me find what watch to get. 😄
Have seen your videos for a long time, and I finally subscribed! Your content is getting better and better ! Thanks for this comparison. It was really helpful
Thanks for this video. It’s interesting that when you were comparing the SE2 and AW8 you kept saying the 8 was a little more money. Am I doing my math correctly, because to me it seems like you can get two SE2s for the price of the Apple Watch 8? Currently, I have an Apple Watch Series 1, so I’m finally upgrading and I’m going with an SE2. I’m assuming that is a pretty good upgrade, especially considering I spent $230 on sale for the Series 1 at the time. Thanks for the content, Max.
Question about the SE display not always being “on”. If I get a notification does the SE display it or do I have to lift wrist or tap to check for notifications?
The last watch I had was the series 3, I don’t care about the 7 vs 8 because the price speaks for itself. I want a video that convinced me to get an Apple Watch in general
Had that series 8 preordered but got cancelled and had to reorder but found that blue 44 mm series 7 on sale for over 60 bucks less so I’m a little disappointed i did that get to open that midnight series 8 yesterday but got the blue 7 coming in the morning so should be just as good and theres even better deals out there now the starlight was another 40 dollars cheaper actually its 105 dollars less than the 8 right now but i still went blue matches my iphone 12…. But then i found the midnight even cheaper and was a little upset but 🤷🏼 good deal still
Apple Watches are great trackers but the main trouble is and which is frustrating Apples privacy policy limits what data you can share with other apps e.g calories burnt. Apple do not trust the user to choose what they share and with whom. Consequently I have an Apple Watch on one wrist and a Fitbit on the other!
I’m torn between the S7 (on an Amazon deal) and the SE 2. I’m not mad into fitness but I’m liking the fact the screen goes to the edges and the always on display. Then again does that matter as the SE 2 will be slightly cheaper and have most things I want. I’m a diabetic so will set up a complication that shows my blood sugar on the face so not sure it AOD would be better for this or not matter. Help!!!
Believe me, you don’t need always on display. Also, S7 screen is noticeably unresponsive because of this thick curved glass. At the end of the day, all that matters is screen size, battery life and amount of sensors.
If I have an iPhone 14 Pro with BT 5.3 and Beats Studio Buds with BT 5.2, would it make a noticeable difference in sound quality, battery life, and/or performance if I were to upgrade from the S7 to S8?
the only thing I care about is the volume, none of the other features interest me, why doesn’t anyone compare the volume of the speakers that’s the most important aspect of the watch for me, I currently have the series 4 and the volume sucks that I do know and I’m wondering is there an upgrade to get the volume like twice the series 4 or not?? if not, then can someone recommend a smart watch that has double the volume of the series 4, I may be done with apple watches if I can get the volume I want elsewhere, etc.
Gosh the pricing here in Australia is simply daylight robbery compared to the States! Thought you might find it interesting to hear what these models cost down under..The SE 2 starts at A$399 (A$479 w/cellular). The Series 8 starts at A$629 (A$789w/cellular). We don’t have the Series 7 anymore, just those two plus the Hermes (numerous cases and straps) and finally the Ultra which starts at A$1299 and automatically comes w/cellular. I’m tempted by an Apple Watch for medical reasons but I also need a new iPad and a new laptop first so I’m having to prioritise. I’m about to go watch some of your posts on the latest releases as I need help deciding what’s best to replace my iPad Air2....yes I really do still have an Air2!!! Wait til you read the next paragraph... If you have any advice on getting photos off an iPhone and onto an external storage device without using a computer can you please point me in the right direction? I’m looking for clarification that my plan to connect my ancient iPhone6+ (I kid you not) to a Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD via a powered USB Hub will work. I can’t get my mobile to sync with my iMac for some reason and I have 12k worth of extremely sentimental family photos and videos on my phone that I can’t afford to lose. Hope you can give me a yay or a nay if you think this will work and I’ll send you a coffee🤷🏻♀️👌 Amanda🤞👋 (Sorry for massive message🤓)
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
hi iwatch users i just put on my cousins iwatch series 8 and then turned on ecg button at first it showed me afib the o freaked out after few ours i checked it again i said theres no afib detected then after few hours i checked it again but it not came so its a malfunctioning?
The way you opend the clasp ,ouch. The thing is used to conserve the leather, if you pull the leather before opening it you put strain on it. even more than without a clasp.
@@alycks6056 Sadly it does not. The battery life is horrific so I leave it on airplane mode so it lasts all day. It’s just a watch now but I still rock it.
I got the S7 earlier this week because I got the stainless steel graphite one with the matching milanese loop for the same price the aluminium S8 would have been.
Apple support in my country can’t find out whether the release buttons on here are steel. Nothing about the Ultra and its screws either. Do you know? If not, I would massively appreciate if you can get a reply out of Apple support where you’re located. I’m allergic to nickel. So steel is a no-go. Thanks a ton.

So right, for I am about to decide between watch 7 or SE 2.
Right now in Walmart I found the Series 7 45 mm at $329, not bad
As series 7 owner I say go with SE if it is substantially cheaper.
@@sergeyd2199 44mm SE is $299 while the 45mm S7 is $329, and Series 7 has fast charging and the other sensors so I think that one is more worth it

@@demetriusmartin3828 that’s fair! Same with me but with the 7 last year. Great watch either way.
@@nicdubonnet Isn't that sensor worth it though. A lot of people get these watches for health features
@@jcap8391 oh sure if you are going to use it then yeah it worth it. But if not then it’s the same watch.

Apple do not trust the user to choose what they share and with whom. Consequently I have an Apple Watch on one wrist and a Fitbit on the other!
8:58 Camera Guy coming in the frame..🤣
I’m torn between the S7 (on an Amazon deal) and the SE 2. I’m not mad into fitness but I’m liking the fact the screen goes to the edges and the always on display. Then again does that matter as the SE 2 will be slightly cheaper and have most things I want. I’m a diabetic so will set up a complication that shows my blood sugar on the face so not sure it AOD would be better for this or not matter. Help!!!
What is expected price of S7 on amazon deal ? I am also looking in to but could not get any revealed price of watch 7
Hands down S7 (if you feel comfortable with the price)
Believe me, you don’t need always on display. Also, S7 screen is noticeably unresponsive because of this thick curved glass. At the end of the day, all that matters is screen size, battery life and amount of sensors.
I just got s7 and dude the screen is insane. It makes the using experience so good e dry time I look at it
@@andrescastillo07 My choice is clear, I want always on display and ECG so watch 7 is final. SE2 is good if you are okay without AOD.
Awesome review
If I have an iPhone 14 Pro with BT 5.3 and Beats Studio Buds with BT 5.2, would it make a noticeable difference in sound quality, battery life, and/or performance if I were to upgrade from the S7 to S8?
I have a series 2. I think it's finally time to upgrade.
the only thing I care about is the volume, none of the other features interest me, why doesn’t anyone compare the volume of the speakers that’s the most important aspect of the watch for me, I currently have the series 4 and the volume sucks that I do know and I’m wondering is there an upgrade to get the volume like twice the series 4 or not?? if not, then can someone recommend a smart watch that has double the volume of the series 4, I may be done with apple watches if I can get the volume I want elsewhere, etc.
Very good review. I was so confused + price factor.
But now i think i will go with Apple Ultra😅
Gosh the pricing here in Australia is simply daylight robbery compared to the States! Thought you might find it interesting to hear what these models cost down under..The SE 2 starts at A$399 (A$479 w/cellular). The Series 8 starts at A$629 (A$789w/cellular). We don’t have the Series 7 anymore, just those two plus the Hermes (numerous cases and straps) and finally the Ultra which starts at A$1299 and automatically comes w/cellular.
I’m tempted by an Apple Watch for medical reasons but I also need a new iPad and a new laptop first so I’m having to prioritise. I’m about to go watch some of your posts on the latest releases as I need help deciding what’s best to replace my iPad Air2....yes I really do still have an Air2!!! Wait til you read the next paragraph...
If you have any advice on getting photos off an iPhone and onto an external storage device without using a computer can you please point me in the right direction? I’m looking for clarification that my plan to connect my ancient iPhone6+ (I kid you not) to a Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD via a powered USB Hub will work. I can’t get my mobile to sync with my iMac for some reason and I have 12k worth of extremely sentimental family photos and videos on my phone that I can’t afford to lose. Hope you can give me a yay or a nay if you think this will work and I’ll send you a coffee🤷🏻♀️👌 Amanda🤞👋 (Sorry for massive message🤓)
You can still get the 7 through retailers such as JB HFI, the good guys, harvey etc
JB Hifi is selling Series 7. Check their website
I am upgrading to the se, i used to have then i will have the series 7
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Hmmm, the Series 8 just feels like a Series 7S ngl, they should just bring back the S branding lol
im getting a good deal on series 7 almost $100 expensive than se2
which one should i go for??? 7 or se2? pls lemme know asap
5.0 for AW8 (source : specification Apple website)
hi iwatch users i just put on my cousins iwatch series 8 and then turned on ecg button at first it showed me afib the o freaked out after few ours i checked it again i said theres no afib detected then after few hours i checked it again but it not came so its a malfunctioning?
will SE 2 fast charge using the puck from S7/8?
Eventually apple will add more features to take advantage of that temperature sensor. It will pay off in the end.
Yes, similar to how they added features to the compass this year.
You just gotta wait for a long time :)
The way you opend the clasp ,ouch.
The thing is used to conserve the leather, if you pull the leather before opening it you put strain on it. even more than without a clasp.
Very disappointed they didn’t release the rumored design
I'm still rocking my series 1 - stainless steel.
that’s crazy, I don’t think the series 1 get any software support anymore ?
@@alycks6056 Sadly it does not. The battery life is horrific so I leave it on airplane mode so it lasts all day. It’s just a watch now but I still rock it.
The 8 looks amazing.
Will the SE work with my old iPhone X?
Yes Im getting the 8!
Is the AW7 borderless as like as the 8 ? And AOD ?
Yes
Why didn't you shoot 7 vs 8 on the hand? Or on the table?
I got the S7 earlier this week because I got the stainless steel graphite one with the matching milanese loop for the same price the aluminium S8 would have been.
Apple support in my country can’t find out whether the release buttons on here are steel. Nothing about the Ultra and its screws either. Do you know? If not, I would massively appreciate if you can get a reply out of Apple support where you’re located.
I’m allergic to nickel. So steel is a no-go.
Thanks a ton.
Thanks for the video!
