Or it would be nice to step outside to play with my kids in the middle of the day and not feel the desire to open my phone and scroll through Reddit for no reason. It would be nice to go on a walk and leave my phone. I work remotely and my schedule is very flexible, so I usually take my phone with me so I'm reachable by in-office coworkers, even if I'm stepping outside to walk through the park next door, or going across the street for groceries.īut while I don't run or currently do many activities where it's not possible to carry my phone, I like the idea of making that a part of my life. I'm the kind of person who has my phone on me 95% of the time.

Now I'm looking at getting my first AW-S5 GPS + Cellular. Wanted her to be able to reach me or me to reach her.

Last year I bought my wife the S4 GPS + Cellular because she sometimes leaves her phone far off in a stroller when she's out with our kids, or at the pool with them. We'll need to test the Watch ourselves to know if it's worth an upgrade from previous models.I've been debating this, too. With the SE occasionally going on sale for $250, we recommend it if you're curious about smartwatch features like heart and sleep tracking but don't need advanced features like ECG, and don't mind having a slightly smaller screen.Īpple Watch Series 7 will replace the Series 6 as the premium Apple Watch, but the new features won't necessarily warrant an upgrade for all but the most dedicated of Apple Watch users. As the more affordable model, the SE also doesn't offer the more expensive stainless steel and titanium case options that Apple offers for the Series 6 and Series 7. In comparison to the Series 7, the SE doesn't have an always-on display option, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, or Apple's ultra wideband radio chip. Apple says the Series 7 will offer more than 50% the screen area of the Series 3.Īpple Watch SE was released alongside the Series 6 last fall and still has some of the best WatchOS features.
