If you are thinking of buying an Apple Watch, you may have seen that there are 3 models, however, leaving the Ultra aside, we will focus on The SE and the seriessince the price difference between them is important, and the characteristics are not so different.
It is true that we can see many functions in one that will not be in the other, however, most are not tools for daily use, and in some cases, we will not even use them, so paying for them, in certain cases, is to throw money.
Apple Watch is vs series
The first thing we are going to see is the difference between the two, or rather, what characteristics the series models have compared to the SE, that they do not possess, to explain, later, if they are worth it, or not, although at first glance there are many. We will take into account the latest models, both the second generation and series 10 of 2024.
- Always-on (always on) screen: It allows you to see the time and notifications without the need to touch the clock.
- Maximum shine of 2000 nits: Improves visibility outdoors, especially under sunlight.
- Chip S9: It is faster and more efficient, improving the fluidity and duration of the battery in some situations (although we will take it with tweezers).
- Blood oxygen sensor: monitor respiratory health and sports performance.
- ECG (electrocardiogram): It allows to detect possible heart problems such as atrial fibrillation.
- Gesture control (double touch): It allows to interact with the clock without touching the screen, only with a gesture of the hand.
- Fast charging: Reduce the time needed to reach 80% battery.
- Temperature detection: used especially for the monitoring of the menstrual cycle and possible beginnings of diseases.
- Second generation ultra wideband (UWB): Most accurate location of near Apple devices.
- Available stainless steel materialin addition to the aluminum version, offering a more premium option in design and durability.
As we can see, there are quite a few differences between the two, however, how many times are you going to use the electrocardiogram, or blood oxygenation, body temperature, etc? The truth is that I have a series 8, and except to measure my heart rate in a training, to know my state and the burned calories, the rest of their sensors never use them, or at least I do not pay attention to them.
In the same way, the battery notice the same, and the load, despite being something faster, I do not see it necessary, so it will depend on each case, and if you are a person who will not have the screen always active, load the clock at night, or do not even do sports, The model can be idealsince we talk about prices that are around half a series, so the thing changes, and much, in this aspect.
Now that you know the differences, it is your thing to choose one or the other, because it depends a lot on your needs, however, until more health meters such as blood pressure or blood sugar, the truth is that I think it is more suitable for the majority, and that we only acquire the series for consumerisms, and not need. Leave us a comment with your opinion and which would you really choose.
