TLDR Review: Apple Watch SE (GPS, 40mm)
Pros
- •Battery life exceeds expectations and lasts throughout the day
- •Functions reliably with excellent quality construction and materials
- •Attractive gold and pink sand color design
- •Includes charging cable and replacement watch band in the box
- •Minimal setup required after initial software update
Cons
- •Takes considerable time to pair with phones during initial setup
- •Battery life barely lasts a full day for some users (inconsistent performance)
- •Customer service was unresponsive to complaints and offered inadequate refund
Bottom Line
The Apple Watch SE is a solid, well-constructed smartwatch that delivers on Apple's fitness and health tracking features with a beautiful design. Most users report reliable performance and all-day battery life, though setup can be time-consuming and there are occasional reports of inconsistent battery performance depending on usage. Before purchasing, be aware that the renewed condition means you're buying a second-hand device—check ShopSavvy's return policies carefully, as customer service responsiveness appears to vary. If battery anxiety is a concern, you might want to compare with newer Apple Watch models that have enhanced battery optimization, but for the price point of a renewed device, this SE remains a compelling option for anyone invested in the Apple ecosystem.
