I ordered the SE 2 (44mm, Midnight) the day after it released and got it 2 days ago. I charged it up to full and tested out the longevity of the battery over the past 2 days. With moderate usage (notifications, workouts, screwing around with settings, map assist while driving and also music controls) I was able to manage going well over 36 hours of battery and still had about 20% remaining...all this WITHOUT low power mode! This is my first Apple Watch and I’m very very pleased with its quality and features. Stick with the SE 2 if your regular use case scenario is like mine, you literally don't need the series 8 just for the extra features which I as a doctor would get checked out at a hospital and not on an apple watch 😅 . You won’t be disappointed. Buy the SE 2 blindly😃🤙🤙👌it's the best well-rounded watch apple has made so far.
Thanks for explaining! By the way I’ve few doubts, if you can clear please? 1. Does it has low power mode to get extra juice out from battery? 2. Does it support fast charging with provided magnetic charger type-c? 3. Does it have the qwerty keyboard to type texts? 4. I’ve heard that It’s ion-x display is more prone to scratches and using protective film over display cause to air bubbles due to curved screen and little unresponsive touch as well?
as a person who wants to upgrade from my series 5 (since it’s been acting up recently) and have always had the ‘always on display’ off since day 1, im thinking about getting the se2. I also use it for my runs, notifications, maps, and time. so, do you think this is a good purchase? i’m hesitant, but really need a new watch since i use it everyday :/ pls respond, im super indecisive, and a college student. so, any purchase is a big purchase for me ^ - ^
@@fairyboy444 hey I was on the fence too. But I'm glad I bought it. I never recommend tech that I personally haven't used or benefited from. So go for the SE 2, you'll be pleasantly surprised 😊 hope this helps.
Update: I bought one the day of when I first commented, and it’s amazing it’s really great for tracking your steps and overall health, the battery is pretty good and lasts about 2 days it’s overall really reliable since I’m a pretty active person 100% should buy since it’s so cheap.
I just got my se yesterday, and one of the first things i did was order a new band🤣 I think its trash, I ordered a leather standard watch style band. Hopefully i like the new one
I have the 1st gen SE since January. Best features are workouts, and the new sleep tracking. I was curious for the SE 2, but was a bit disappointed. I hoped for a bit more improvements vs the first SE. The chip will be better, but you barely will notice it’s faster, cause the SE 1 is already real fast and smooth. Gonna wait for the next Watch SE.
You're 100% correct. I had the series 3 and it crapped out after I took it in the pool. I was going to get the SE1 a few weeks ago when Amazon had it on sale for $229. Glad I waited. For $20 more, it's better to have the latest watch that will receive updates for longer. HOWEVER, if you can find the SE1 for $175 or lower (Black Friday), that's a much better buy because 95% of the people who USE apple watches do the basics on them (fitness tracking, music, message reading) and you don't need the latest watch to do that stuff.
i have the series 3 which is a bit outdated now although i absolutely love being able to see my messages and notifications as i can see what they are without taking out my phone at work or school
I did bought Apple Watch SE back in April 2022. I just loved it in space grey that I got it at Target. I do have a lot of bands towards it. I still have series 1 and 2. I got the SE for this one app towards my car from my iPhone.
As someone who is very active, I really like the fitness tracker. Especially for work outs such as swimming where it's able to track many things for me
Hi Rudo, it is very difficult to see the difference. From Apple I got this: You have a choice of two display options-40mm or 44mm-both of which have slim bezels and rounded corners. The back is slightly different-the new model has a nylon composite and sapphire crystal back while the older version uses ceramic-but it will feel the same. Not very helpful I am afraid
I just purchased this watch and was stoked about having a keyboard to text and then it disappeared! Now I only have the scribble option which baffles me. Any idea about this feature? Did I just get a fluke watch and this series doesn’t even have a keyboard feature? Apple hasn’t even been able to help me with this.
I bought my iPhone 13 because of this channel, great review as always Dion schuddeboom. I’m thinking of buying my first Apple Watch this SE 2nd seems like a good idea.
my favorite apple watch feature for sure is now going to be being able to charge my airpods pro 2 with the apple watch charger! 😂 but i love everything about my apple watch including the way it tracks my heart rate when i exercise! :)
I got a Series 3 two years ago… right before the first SE was announced! Needless to say I was a bit miffed having missed out on that, more fully featured, model. Definitely planning on picking up this very colour of the SE2, so your video has been really helpful. The standout feature to me is a toss up between audiobooks without my phone and the new pricing, £350 for GPS/Cellular is superb value compared to the nearly £600/800 new spec’d out Series 8 👍
Hello Great video. I really enjoyed it. I bought the se 1 generation one month ago. It is my first Apple Watch. To be honest it was great choice. I’m really happy to use it. Personally if you have the 1 gen of se it is not necessary to upgrade. For normal using, only what is necessary, I don’t feel to upgrade it in next 2 maybe 3 years. That’s opinion person with very short experience with Apple Watch SE but very happy of using it so far. For oldest watch it makes sense for sure.
Now I have watch se 1 gen version gps but I want to change it to cellular version (I started running and I want to leave my iphone home). What should I choose SE 1st gen vs SE 2022. Do you think that SE 1st gen will have software updates in next 2 years?
I have one qq- why is that the band size is 41mm when the watch is 40mm ........I was thinking they have sent wrong order to me but I could see that it was same with the shown in this video...hope u will clarify my doubt
Thanks Dion to make this video and I always watch your videos because you make every video very simple way and you are very unique as well ! .. I’ve some inquiries If it’s 249 dollars then why 259 Pounds even I want to know why apple uk increased the price like Iphone Se 2022 from 419 to 449 and also other devices isn’t it unfair ? Secondly, with the new 2022 watch SE can I measure my oxygen level in my blood and also any other features like heart rate ecg? Let me know ..
Coming back to Apple ecosystem after almost a decade with android. I’m still debating whether to stick with my galaxy watch 4 just for fitness tracking or get series 7/8. It’s shame Apple doesn’t offer round option. ECG and health tracking would be key features I look for in any watch.
Dear Dion, Watching your videos makes one believe that Black 🖤 is the basic necessity of a gadget and all other colours that the company makes are not worth it! 😃👏
I got The series 7 (41mm) for just $350!! :) Apple Watches are very expensive in my country. (India) Series 8 starts - $580 (Approx) SE 2nd Gen starts - $380 (Approx)
Using apple watch series 7(cellular version). My favourite feature is now you can mirror your apple watch with iphone.Its an accessibility feature with the latest iOS and watchOs update.
I love your reviews btw I have a question does anyone could help me i’m looking for an apple watch but I don’t know which will be the best for me I thought about the se 2 but couple of days ago I saw series 7 about 40$ more expensive than the se2 is it worth it?
Well to be honest I would say go for the se2, mainly because of price difference and also you're getting a better processor and support for a longer time
for $40 bucks more that beautiful screen, always on display--you have the choice, egg and blood oxygen, you might not want these things nor do I, but for $40 if you can afford it the series 7 is beautiful
I need to wait a while for my own iPhone but thanks for giving me a chance I love ur vids. Have a nice day. And keep up the good work. P.S i don’t give out too many complements so just know u inspire me a lot since I’m also an apple fan.
@Sabbirocks IMO, Crash detection is one of the smartest features a smart watch can evar have. Your videos are super engaging. I eagerly wait for your next video everytime. ❤
I might pick up an se to fill the gap lol then i can have a midnight as well at a great price point and have the extra features like crash detection. Then i will have all the case types lol series 3,7, and se2 (4-6 case type) muah haha lol… sorry got a little bit crazy 😅
Do you have an Apple Watch, if so what is your favourite feature? ⌚
I want one 😢
I have the Apple Watch SE (1st generation) got it for $200 brand new! I love it my favorite feature is the walkie talkie.
My favorite feature is the new heart rate zones, it is helpful during a workout to have a general gaugue for exertion. I have a series 7.
Activity!!!
Still rocking the first SE. It just does everything I need, and it looks gorgeous in space gray and a midnight sport band
Bought it two weeks ago. It's a beautiful thing that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
Hi Andrew, that is really true. Somehow mankind made it to this decade :), but life has improved thanks to this watches!
Yeah same I bought it like yesterday and I love it

I love how customizable the watch faces are- so many choices!
That little thing Saved over a million people thanks apple Ur the best❤
Thank you!
I like how using the map through the apple watch makes it easier to get around.
I bought Apple Watch SE 2 yesterday as my first apple watch aver. I love it
My favorite feature is turn by turn directions in maps

Thanks guys! I feel better now after ordering SE 1st gen in sale yesterday
I just bought the fucking first SE like 2 months ago 😭😭😭 What really is the difference between them
I am little confused between SE and SE 2, please help me, i only want a smartwatch for calling
What i like about the Apple watch SE is the longevity and how good it is for its price.
I have upgraded from my no longer supported AW 3 yesterday but CELLULAR version and hope to get as well 5 years
Can't wait for your review of the SE 2022. I'm eyeing on the SE as it will be my first apple watch. Really torn by the series 7 and the SE 2022.
I like all of the features that have. But mostly changeable straps. And thanks to you revealed everything to us 😊😊
Love your video.
This is my first time watching.
I love this SE watch in the dark color and it looks very sleek. Thank you.
Just purchased Apple Watch se2 midnight 40mm can’t wait for it to arrive . So excited! And nice video bro ❤
Thanks Xu! And enjoy
i have the series 3 which is a bit outdated now although i absolutely love being able to see my messages and notifications as i can see what they are without taking out my phone at work or school
Agree, that is excellent feature
My favorite feature would be the notification mirroring

Takings calls or messages on my watch is my favorite and most used feature on my Apple Watch
Love it! Was waiting for your review to show up before I decided to buy one. Thanks!
My favorite feature has to be the fact is the 20% faster performance and the lower price
Just ordered it can’t wait to use it
Enjoy!
Hello Dion,
Would you recommend apple watch SE2 over series 7 which costs around 330 usd ?
As someone who is very active, I really like the fitness tracker. Especially for work outs such as swimming where it's able to track many things for me
How to differentiate SE 2 (2022) with the older SE version ? Does the box shown it? Just afraid the seller tricked me 😅
Hi Rudo, it is very difficult to see the difference. From Apple I got this: You have a choice of two display options-40mm or 44mm-both of which have slim bezels and rounded corners.

@@DionMedia ahh so sad yah
Great review
I love your reviews specifically the Apple devices. My favorite color midnight as well 😄
I love how they colour matched the back of the watch to the aluminum...it looks so good😍
So is it black or blue?
Darkish blue, almost black
My favorite is apple watch SE
I just purchased this watch and was stoked about having a keyboard to text and then it disappeared! Now I only have the scribble option which baffles me. Any idea about this feature? Did I just get a fluke watch and this series doesn’t even have a keyboard feature? Apple hasn’t even been able to help me with this.
Just bought my 1st Apple Watch ever which is the SE2. I can’t leave me wrist. I haven’t even need to pick up my phone as much because of it!
Hi Shean, sounds like a convert :)
The price of course, however this watch looks sleek. I will buy my first Apple watch this month.
Love the darker color.
It looks more blue .or grey ?
Blue-blackish
I bought my iPhone 13 because of this channel, great review as always Dion schuddeboom. I’m thinking of buying my first Apple Watch this SE 2nd seems like a good idea.
can you text via keyboard with SE 2?
Just bought my first apple watch. Went for the series 8, and i am very excited:) the feature i look most forward to is the sleeptracking.
Where did you get your purple braided loop for your own watch??
Quality & Precise Video Making 👏
Best of luck for your future!
I just bought this for my son for Xmas, is the 40 a good size for an average size guy?
It should unless he has very thick wrists. Happy Holidays Veronica!
@@DionMedia thank you and Merry Christmas! And it fit fine.
Good to hear
I have se 2 I wanna say it’s nice and came from series 6
The only thing is the band always get a sport loop no more hole marks in your skin
Plan to get my 1st apple watch & SE 2022 44mm will be my target. still waiting for apple store to sell as not available in southeast asia.
Will come; enjoy!
Doesn't the SE2 come in 3 colours, Silver, Starlight and Midnight?
Keep up the good work!
Kinda crazy how the second gen SE has the same chip as the more than 3x more expensive Ultra
it's not like an iphone you need a powerful chip, it needs more sensors which SE2 don't
Hi dion I wanted a review on this SE2022 thx brother keep it up !! ✌🏻
More in-depth review coming up
@@DionMedia waitin! ✌🏻
do you place a casing on it?is this colour prone to scratches compared to other colours?
Hi, the aluminium is quite resistant against scratches, but not completely. So if this is a concern, go for the lighter starlight color
always on display @100.80.2
my favorite apple watch feature for sure is now going to be being able to charge my airpods pro 2 with the apple watch charger! 😂 but i love everything about my apple watch including the way it tracks my heart rate when i exercise! :)
whats the size
Loved the video. How did you get both size bands? I thought it comes with just one. 🤔
I just got my Apple Watch se2 in starlight 40mm with starlight sports band , why I only got 1 band inside but you got 2 size of band?
Me trying to read your channel name like dion schchchchcaaaaaboom🌚
Not bad at all, keep on practicing-:)
I bought the one and I can say it works really good.
Thank you for this review, it has been very helpful in making my decision as a 1st time Apple Watch user.
