I thought about upgrading to Ultra 2 but finding it hard to justify. I still get a day use out of the battery.

The SE is essentially the AW4 body with upgraded SIP and sensors for each iteration forward: SE1 has the S5 SIP and the SE2 has the S8 SIP. If budget is the primary consideration however, I’d say the AW6 is the “sweet spot” in terms of feature set and price for the refurb market in places like backmarket.com.
The “clutch” feature that is missing on the SE models is the Always On Display, since being able to glance at the time from your wrist without needing to raise to wake is a primary function for a wristwatch IMHO and something that annoyed me when it was missing from my older AW2.
I don’t think it’s a “cost saving” measure on Apple’s part, since an LTPO screen is included, but rather a withheld feature to make consumers look to the next model up for the upgrade path.
If it is a hardware restriction however, IMO it’s something they should include in the SE3. The AOD can be manually turned off if the feature annoys you or you can go into low power mode if you are trying to optimize battery so there’s no reason to not include that feature.
Love my SE2. For dates or wedding type things I use a mechanical watch. SE2 is the perfect beater.

I am! Deciding what the next is gonna be stil
My mental state still rocking the special education or whatever it stands for
it stands for seriously economical 😂
I still have the first generation of SE
I have it too. Everything really fine except thay my screen very scratched, so annoying. Dunno what to do, not really want buy new brand one.
I have the 4
Same! Great watch!
S6 here!
Same
Same, it’s a great watch!
Ditto. Battery not great after latest SW updates, but only 18 months old and works fine.
Despite really wanting the curved edges, I absolutely love my SE
What do you mean curved edge. I thought all Apple Watches had curved edges.
I think thinner bezels was the want there but i have a 45mm and i mean you only notice it if you use a light color watch face (i don’t and even then when using always on it’s true black on almost every face) and most people turn off always on anyways so my recommendation is a SE2
Is your watch connected to the head unit?
Here 🙋♂️
Hell yeah works great!
SE2
Same!!
same here
What band are you using here?
Still on Series 3
My wife still wears the series 3 I bought her 6 years ago. Money well spent if you ask me.
I like my SE2 - with my settings I can get 2 days battery life
Hey what settings are you using? I only get about 1.5 days with my series 9
I got mine for free when I leased my car. I’ll take a freebie!
