The Apple Watch SE (1st gen) may be aging tech but add on one of the best Apple Watch bands, and it’ll still look fantastic. It’s stylish and functional. It offers all the essentials you need. For instance, it tracks all your workouts so you can see how trends develop via the fitness app on your iPhone. It’ll monitor your pace, heart rate, and even how many flights of stairs you climb a day. It works for exercises as varied as Tai Chi, dancing, Pilates, running, and swimming. If your heart suddenly displays an irregular heart rhythm or drops unusually high or low, you’ll also receive a notification of the news. It’s a great companion to your phone too, saving you the need to look at it so often as notifications come straight to your wrist.
