So, if you’re only going out for a quick run, an errand, or a walk where you’d rather leave your phone at home to enjoy the weather, that freedom is genuinely useful. The Apple Watch SE 3 is one smartwatch we loved testing. We gave it a 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award, finding that it’s comfortable to wear, has an unobtrusive design, and has excellent battery life. It handles the daily health and fitness metrics just fine, delivering a sleep score that helps you understand your rest, sending heart rate alerts for highs, lows, and irregular rhythms, and tracking your workouts. The safety features are extremely useful as well, with fall and crash detection automatically connecting you with emergency services and notifying your contacts. With 18 hours of battery, you get to use this watch from morning to night, while a quick 15-minute top-up adds about 8 hours of use, which is enough to cover a night of sleep tracking.

But that’s only if you want to use it—it works just fine when tethered to your iPhone. At $249, the Apple Watch SE 3 with GPS and Cellular connectivity is an easy recommendation for any iPhone owner who wants a capable everyday watch.01:01 pmUK demands Apple makes a child-protecting nudity detector that already exists
