Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) [GPS + Cellular 40mm] Smartwatch with Starlight Aluminum Case with Lake Green Sport Loop One Size. Fitness and Sleep Trackers, Crash Detection, Carbon Neutral

Love this watch. I know it is the lowest priced Apple Watch but it does (almost) everything I want a smart watch to do and integrates easily and fully with my iPhone. I would like for it to have Blood Ox and Temperature measurement, but the main things are there and work great. I needed the step counter to be easy and total so I didn't have to tote my phone with me everywhere to accurately count steps and estimate exercise. This watch does that beautifully and as far as I can tell, very accurately. It also does a great job of sleep monitoring and tracking, including measuring deep sleep each night. And with the downloadable WaterMinder app (yes it costs $29 for a year but it's worth it) I can track daily, weekly, monthly fluid intake that is customized to the containers I use and the beverage types I consume so it is a breeze to use and thus to track.This sports loop band is the BOMB. It is easy to adjust, comfortable to wear, ok to get wet, and dries fast. Just be careful to not over tighten it. Keep it a little looser than you think. Great band. Easy to change out for a dressier one when you need to, but the perfect every day casual or weekend band.The ONLY negative, as you will read in many reviews, is battery life. There are several online articles on how to conserve the battery that are great. And I bought a phone/watch charger for my desk so when I know I am going to be sitting for an extended period, I fast-charge my watch. As long as I do this each day, I can keep good battery life and I don't miss any steps or any sleep measurements.

Got this for my hubby for Christmas. (He’s a little behind the trend). He loves it 😂

Simple set up and operation is a real plus. Battery life is good for a full day with normal use. Recharging requires removing watch from your wrist. While this can’t be avoided, it remains a nuisance. I simply let it recharge overnight.

Only had it for a week before it started acting up. The watches smart screen start acting erratically and none of the fixes folks had online helped. Sent it back no way I’m dealing with repairs for an item only 1 week old. Seemed like a refurbished item to me even though I bought new. Would give zero stars if I could.

My watch came to me and after just a few weeks the batterie got weaker and weaker, I talked to the customer support and they didn't do anything!

The one I have for my kid (40 mm GPS+cellular) has very short battery life. It goes from 100% to 30% in 9 hrs. The watch was on low power mode, 50% brightness and wrist raised function disabled. Contacted Apple and they told me watch is perfectly fine :(
