Earlier this year, I typed up an open letter to Apple, giving the company my unsolicited (but completely free of charge!) suggestions on what it could do to improve its entry-level smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE. Now that the iPhone event has concluded I wanted to see if anyone over in Cupertino took my advice.<\/p>\n

I asked for a bigger screen, a faster processor and faster charging. I said flashier materials weren’t necessary, nor was an always-on display. I also didn’t think the watch needed to have every last health sensor. But on-board Siri would be nice. The Apple Watch SE 3 has some of what I asked for, but not everything. Still, at the same $250, this is looking like a pretty tempting budget smartwatch.<\/p>\n

The screen is still small but the processor is top of the line<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I compared the display on the SE Gen 2 to my old Apple Watch Series 4 and they were about the same size. It’s usable, but after wearing the Series 10, or even the Series 9 for a while, the screen feels dinky. Down to the pixel, the size on the SE 3 is the exact same on the Apple Watch SE gen 2, with a 759 square millimeter display area. Sigh.<\/p>\n
