Hi guys, hope you’re all enjoying your Friday

Boring I know but don’t know many people with one.

Looking at buying an Apple Watch, the SE probably. Are they worth it? Comfy to wear? Worthwhile having?

Thanks all x

I've had a smart watch for a while and find it very useful for monitoring my workouts and sports activity.

It isn't an Apple though, they're extremely overpriced in my opinion, just like everything else from the company.

Looked at the SE but bought a Series 8 at the time as the trade off of features vs price was too much IMO.

I have an Ultra 2 now and it’s an absolute tank of a smart watch that does take a beating.

I’ve had an SE for two or three years. It’s quite useful, especially having Wallet on my wrist. And various other apps as complications.

Battery life never been good and now it’s getting older it’s worse. £90 for new battery.

Very comfortable, forget it’s there.

Would you say it’s worth getting the cellular one (can use without phone nearby) or not really?

Cost of contract and heavier battery use. I wouldn’t bother. However my phone is usually nearby

I have an Apple Watch and it comes in very handy. I use a lot of the health monitoring features and the watch also works as my car key. I use the watch to pay for most things too as it is way more convenient. Typically the people that say that an Apple Watch isn’t worth it are the ones that haven’t made full use of all the features and apps. It is also great as a remote camera release so when you are out cruising you can get your phone in a good spot to catch the action and use your watch to snap the pics/video.

"Samsung better and less expensive "

If you already have an iPhone then going for the Apple Watch makes more sense.

I did look at an apple watch, but didn't get one. The problem was I have quite chunky wrists and the straps with the watch just were not long enough.

I do have a smartwatch, got it off e-bay (new) it has a strap that fits me and works very well and cost a fraction of the price of an apple watch (the one I got was about £30), and uses the da fit app (which can feed into the apple health app on an iPhone if you want it too.

I found that as it was tethered to my phone, it was just an expensive notification device, as someone said maybe you've got to use the apps diligently. I just went back to using my phone as I'd be carrying it anyway.
