Apple has officially released the Apple Watch SE 3, the third generation of its budget-friendly smartwatch line. Designed to deliver the core Apple Watch experience at a lower price, the SE 3 packs all the essentials into a sleek, lightweight design.
For Kenyans who want a smartwatch that’s reliable, stylish, and easy on the wallet, the SE 3 is Apple’s best budget smartwatch yet.
A Familiar Yet Refreshed Design
The SE 3 keeps the classic Apple Watch look with a lightweight aluminum case and Retina display. It comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes, so whether you prefer a smaller or larger watch, there’s a fit for you.
It’s comfortable, durable, and available in multiple finishes with Apple’s wide selection of straps, perfect for everyday wear, workouts, or formal occasions.
Core Features That Matter Most
While the SE 3 doesn’t include every advanced sensor from the Series 11 or Ultra 3, it nails the essentials that most people care about:
- Fitness Tracking – Monitor steps, workouts, calories, and activity rings.
- Heart Rate Monitoring – Alerts for unusually high or low heart rates.
- Crash Detection & Emergency SOS – Safety features that give peace of mind.
- Sleep Tracking – See how well you rest and make adjustments to your lifestyle.
- Swimproof Design – Water resistant and ready for the pool or shower.
For everyday use, this is more than enough.
Performance & Battery
The SE 3 runs on Apple’s latest chip architecture, so it’s faster and smoother than the SE 2. Apps load quickly, animations are fluid, and you’ll enjoy all the new watchOS 11 features.
Battery life holds steady at around 18 hours, giving you a full day of use before needing a recharge.
