Introduction
Are you thinking of buying an Apple Watch but don't know which model to choose? With multiple generations available — SE Series, Series 6, and Series 7 — it's easy to get confused. In this guide, we compare the real differences to help you find the right model for your needs and budget.
Apple Watch SE: The Most Accessible
The Apple Watch SE is the ideal choice for those new to the world of Apple smartwatches. It offers essential functions: heart rate monitoring, GPS, notifications, and fall detection, without the premium features of higher series.
- Pros: lower price, lightweight, great for sports and daily use
- Cons: no always-on display, no SpO2 sensor, less premium materials
- Ideal for: those who want a functional Apple Watch without overspending
Apple Watch Series 6: The Quality Leap
The Series 6 introduced the SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen monitoring and the second-generation always-on display, much brighter than Series 5. It is still an excellent smartwatch today, available at competitive prices refurbished.
- Pros: SpO2 sensor, bright always-on display, fast S6 chip
- Cons: battery life similar to previous series (around 18 hours)
- Ideal for: those who want comprehensive health monitoring at a reasonable price
Apple Watch Series 7: Bigger Display and Fast Charging
The Series 7 brought the most visible change in recent years: a display 20% larger than Series 6, with thinner bezels. It also adds fast charging (0 to 80% in 45 minutes) and increased dust resistance.
- Pros: larger and more readable display, fast charging, IP6X dust resistance
- Cons: battery life unchanged compared to Series 6
- Ideal for: those who use the watch extensively for reading notifications and want fast charging
