In addition to its fitness and sleep trackers, the also comes with Crash Detection and Emergency SOS. (Perfect for preteens and teens who have watchful parents). The watch’s Retina display is also crisp and vibrant, making it easy to check notifications and apps at a glance. Swim with it—it has a water resistance of up to 50 meters too.

Why people stand by the Apple Watch over other competitors

Reviewers rave about the watch’s versatility, especially those who love customizing their experience with different bands and watch faces. It’s not just a gadget; guys. It’s a style statement and health companion rolled into one.

While the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch for iPhone users (sorry, not sorry!), it’s worth noting that newer Apple Watch models boast more advanced features like blood oxygen monitoring and an always-on display.

So why shouldn’t you just upgrade to the later generations, like the Series 9? Simply put, the SE model is just a good value right now. With watchOS 11, you’ll get access to all the latest software updates anyway. This is a more up-to-date option at a more budget-friendly price.

This Prime Big Deal Days event is still a great opportunity to snag this powerful smartwatch at a discount—for you or maybe for your kids who’ve been begging for one—even though the official event is over. Whether you’re new to Apple Watches or upgrading from an earlier model, the SE (2nd Gen) has the basics to keep you active, connected, and safe without breaking the bank.

Fitness enthusiasts who travel a lot often find ways to continue fine-tuning their fitness while they’re away.

Either way, calisthenics is an excellent choice because you can use little to no equipment and your own body weight as resistance to develop your strength and sculpt those muscles.
