Design
The Apple Watch SE 40mm (2020) combines the familiar design of the Apple Watch Series 4 with a lightweight aluminum casing. The watch is compact and sleek, with rounded corners and a glass front. Thanks to the interchangeable straps, the smartwatch can easily be adapted to personal style.
Screen
The 1.57-inch Retina OLED screen offers vivid colors and high brightness up to 1000 nits, making it easily visible in bright sunlight. The display is not always-on, but activates automatically upon wrist lift or touch.
Performance
With the Apple S5 chipset, the Watch SE delivers smooth performance for daily tasks, notifications and fitness tracking. Apps load quickly and the interface is responsive. The watch is powerful enough for health and sports functions, but doesn't have the extra sensors of the more expensive Series 6.
Battery
The battery lasts up to 18 hours of normal use, which equates to a full day of activity, notifications and sports tracking. Charging is done via the magnetic charging cable and takes approximately 1.5 hours to 80% and 2.5 hours to full charge.
Software and Connectivity
The Apple Watch SE runs on watchOS and supports a wide range of apps and features, including notifications, music controls and fitness tracking. The watch offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, as well as GPS for precise location tracking. Some models also support Cellular for calling and messaging without an iPhone.
