Hello Everyone,

My wife and I have an SE that we had bought for my daughter to use as a standalone way to call us as she doesn't have a cell phone (and we don't want her to have one). However, when we originally bought a couple of years ago, we found that the cell service was spotty at times and even though the cell service itself was fine, her watch reception on phone calls would drop in and out.

We are thinking about buying one of the SE 2's for our other daughter for the same purpose and was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on how the cell signal goes on the SE 2?
 
I don't believe the SE 2 updated its cellular modem from the SE 1, but the SE 3 announced yesterday includes an upgrade to 5G (in supported countries). Maybe wait a bit after release for people to analyze how it performs, but I expect it to be better.

Thanks for the info! We may do that.
