I'm actually wearing an Apple Watch SE 2 right now, and I really rate its functionality. Sure, it's more basic than the upgraded Series 9, but it has more than enough features for most users (as long as you're not mountaineering), and it has a whopping 32% off at Amazon right now, bringing it down to $169 – a record low by $10. See more on what it offers below.

Overview: I think the Apple Watch SE 2 is a great choice for those who want to experiment with using a smartwatch without splashing out on a flagship model. The design looks and feels premium, battery life is good, and there's a solid array of health features, if not quite as many as with the more fully feature <a href="https://www.creativebloq.com/buying-guides/apple-watch-generations">Apple Watch generations.

In every other way, it feels like the full experience of owning an Apple Watch."
