Revisiting the Apple Watch SE in 2025 left me with a long list of update requests
- The author revisited the Apple Watch SE in 2025 and found it lacking in updates compared to other Apple devices released since its second generation in 2022.
- Despite rumors of a new model, the review highlighted the need for enhancements in display size, processing power, and charging speed.
- The author suggested a larger display area for handling increased information, without the need for high-end technologies like LTPO 3.
- An upgrade to a faster processor, like the S9 chip, was recommended to improve responsiveness in app loading and Siri interactions.
- Additionally, a speedier charging time was deemed necessary, as the current over two-hour duration for a full charge was considered too lengthy.
- The article acknowledged the trade-offs associated with using less expensive materials like aluminum alloy and Ion-X glass for the Apple Watch SE.
- While fitness tracking functionality was praised, the absence of some sensors like an electrical heart rate sensor and temperature sensor was noted.
- Features like ECG readings, blood oxygen monitoring, depth gauge, and UWB chip were deemed non-essential for a budget smartwatch.
- Comparisons were drawn with rival smartwatches like Samsung Galaxy Watch FE, Fitbit Versa 4, and Garmin Forerunner 165, emphasizing the need for Apple to enhance the value proposition of the Apple Watch SE.
- The article concluded by advising Apple to focus on essential everyday features for a reasonably priced smartwatch and leave premium features for flagship models.
