NeutralFine if you need it. A solid budget watch, but a chip generation behind Series 12.

Should you buy it now?
Only if you need one now. The Apple Watch SE 3 is fine, but not the best value.
Apple Watch SE 3 is the cheapest Apple Watch at $249. It covers the basics well, but it's a chip generation behind Series 12 and misses some newer health features.
Best for: First-time smartwatch buyers and kids on a Family Setup plan.
