I don’t see the point of a gps only Apple watch. You’re still tied down to your phone. It’s so much easier to have a cellular phone and just leave it on the counter as you take off for a run or a bike ride. Yes it costs more but the convenience is worth it to me.

Apple should do something crazy and add the blood oxygen sensor to this model.

Wow funny thing yesterday Walmart had it on sale at the same price and available to all the different colors 😂

Likely not happening

The whole grab of the SE is a cheaper model that omits some features, and adding the blood oxygen sensor would pretty much defeat the purpose of the SE in the first place

I don't use my (first generation, GPS-only SE) Watch as a phone replacement. It's only a fitness device for me. (I know that gives away the fact that I'm not a serious athlete since its measurements can be off/inaccurate.) I very much enjoy closing all my rings each day, and even trying to get the badge challenges each month. My physical fitness is very good for a man my age, and I attribute at least some of that to the Watch's motivation. I'll even pop into the Mindfulness app for a few minutes when I remember it.

I could easily leave my phone at home for a walk or jog if I could figure out how to get Podcasts and Audible to sync better. Why can't I choose what specific episodes/titles to send to my watch in the Watch app? So I just take my phone, and it doesn't really bother me.

I still have a cracked screen SE (first gen) and see no problems with leaving my phone at home. I use it mainly for Apple Pay anyway. But if your more tied to having a phone around 24/7, the cellular is a no-brainer.

I enjoy being disconnected on my runs. I leave the phone at home or in the car and just take my watch. Most of the places I trail run don't have cell service anyway, from any provider. I take my inReach if it's a long 6+ mile run.

No distractions.

Im so glad they have the SE models around... I still have a series 4 but I really only use the most basic of features and so my next Apple Watch is going to be whatever SE is about at the time...

Agreed. During the Holidays, I bought the 44mm SE at BB for $200 open box. It was pristine...no issues. I use it for the basic functions: notifications, calls, short text replies, stopwatch/timer, and activity tracking. As a result, I don't need to carry my phone around the house, which is nice.

My wife and oldest kid both have the se model and they love them. Great value option for sure

They don't even include the always-on display - and that's now 5-year-old tech.

I must agree with everyone on this. I don't see the point in cellular watch. First I don't want to pay extra for the same phone plan, if I could replace my phone - fine, but I don't need additional cost. Second, the cellular watch does not last so long as gps, and for me that is most important. For the last six years that I had gps watch, I never missed cellular. It was a good daily driver, until it exploded Now I can't just to bring myself buying another one. I got tired or constantly charging all of my thins i.e. phones, tablets, computers. Now either I get something from gramin or sunnto (tho bulky.. ) or apple watch ultra.

btw, 190 buks for new SE I think is a fair deal.

Fair enough. It's been convenient as heck for me for an extra $15/month for 4 cellular lines. But I also generally buy a year old watch from swappa so the savings there almost pays for my cellular usage. As far as charging, I have a dual usb c plug in my night stand. Charge my tablet on a usb c cord over night, my phone on the same usb c cord while I'm working out or running and my watch while I'm in the shower each time before work, after workout. But I get that that system may not work for everyone.
