Wanna get one for Christmas.
no. it too will get a raise in price - probably in september when new watches are launched.

no matter the device, if it is able to get updated to OS27, it will be increased, as will iPads and iPhones. the timing of the increase just wasn't done at the same time as this month's increases.
in this latest round of increases there was some indication that the amount of price increase was at least in part NOT due to the amount of RAM in each device, but rather included the factor of what margin apple had likely been achieving on that product before the price increase: lower margin products, with less RAM, also got hefty price increases.
now, whether or not the SE3 itself will be able to be updated to 2028's OS28 is also a thing to think about, however.

Siri AI and AI in general is becoming a part of the operating system of all future devices and OS.
that's a paradigm shift that changes everything. old rules about RAM no longer apply.

now, if you want an SE3. then buy early. get yourself one for an early christmas now.
