   What watch face is this? Looks cool. I just ordered an se 3 44mm and have the app on my phone and don’t see that or know what it’s called. Is it the one that comes on it?
2. 

   Does this watch support keyboard when typing? My SE 2 only allows swipe typing which sucks.
3. 

   I’m gonna buy the midnight one it looks fire

   have a crappy bug on my ultra 3 watch, on the waypoint face, its showing my old address as a waypoint from 8 years ago, !! i cannot delete it, even clearing locations, and checking maps, and removing old icloud backups, other people are reporting this issue on apple support site ! its weird.

   Whoever has an Apple Watch Ultra, does your watch seems like it’s draining battery pretty fast? I’ve noticed this when I updated to the iOS 26. I would leave it on the table before I go to sleep with about 79% to 80%, but then waking up to 4% to 5%. Can someone help me with this on how to fix this issue.

   Can you type on the se3? With keyboard
10. 

    my friend had to turn off the sensor cuz it started to burn her skin 🤦🏻
11. 

    Where can I find a larger band I have a large wrist and the standard ban is way to tight
12. 

    The SE 3 is the one I’m going for but help me decide guys the eternal question STARLIGHT OR MIDNIGHT ?
13. 

    Upgraded from se2 to se3 much better so fast

    I got the SE 3 in sliver 44mm last Friday, it works great especially with the new features like sleep score and always on display is nice as well , and IOS 26 on the watch Make it way cooler in my opinion. I was missing a lot of important notifications and that’s why I picked a watch at all , I’m so happy for now and I’m more aware of someone trying to reach out.

    As series 7 user this watch se 3 is more suitable and affordable to me, some features I don’t actively using it like oxygen sensor and ecg, can be sacrifice a 1mm display but the biggest sacrifice is the battery! It the same as series 7 according to apple website! Could be sticking with my watch series 7 until it’s broken, stopped supporting or if the battery can’t handle it anymore

    Is the back heart sensor made from sapphire glass or plastic ?
17. 

    Does it have a keyboard though?

    I still got the original SE… I thought about upgrading to even the S11 or the SE 3 but idk I wont really use any of the new features, I mostly use it for notifications and my walk workouts so I dont think its worth the money for me… Battery health is at 78%, but it lasts through the day, kind of, until 9,10 maybe? Will wait till it dies on me…. Display is a bit scratched up, but not much…

    Genuinely surprised you didn't mention the always on display, probably the biggest upgrade over the other SE's. I expect more from you Aaron, seriously. You almost did this because you had to, not because you wanted to. Do better buddy!

    Was thinking of upgrading SE1 to Series 11, but after watching this video and looking into the prices, with a difference of AU$280 figured I would save my money and update to the SE3. SE1 at times doesn't last the day after about 4-5 yrs but still does everything I want it to do. so overall SE3 is best for me, i can put the $280 towards new AirPod Pro 3 coming from APP1.
22. 

    Forgot to mention the big upgrade feature is AOD ON SE3
23. 

    It's really good apple watches but I'm glad I didn't choose to wait for the series 11 and bought a series 10 I still think it's a good upgrade from the apple watch series SE 1 I had before
24. 

    Main reason you forgot is AOD.
25. 

    Still using an SE1 which still works with my iOS26 updated iPhone 12 Pro Max. The SE1 stopped being supported last year but for what I use it for, it's more than functionsal, as is the 5 year old phone.
    If you're a tech YouTuber then you have to have the latest stuff.
    I'm just a pleb health professional who doesn't like to spend money without good reason.

    Too cheap , what about the real one (aka ultra 3) …
27. 

    I ordered mine yesterday! And its my first iwatch I hope it will be worth it!
28. 

    Great review ! I got my first smartwatch ever SE3 in 44mm on Saturday and I like it for the price point. I could not justify almost the double price tag on the series 11
29. 

    I have Apple Watch SE 2
30. 

    I have an old fitbit but rarely look at it. I want to get this watch but am unsure. Do you think an apple watch is worth it and like will i really use it that much?
31. 

    I'm definitely buying this watch in the near future.
32. 

    I bought a 3rd party stainless case/band. Saved a couple HUNDRED dollars

    I have an older Apple Watch that is not supposed to have the double tap of your fingers to do things, but I know it could if the OS would allow it. I could have my phone sitting on the desk and I could very lightly tap the desk and the display would come on so that tells me it has the capability.
34. 

    I went from series 7 to SE3 cellular. Wanted to not be tethered to my phone all the time. Cellular was $50 vs Series 11 at $100, SE3 great value.
35. 

    Leaning towards the series 11. Thanks for the informative video!
36. 

    I will not recommend the apple watch series 11.
    Better by the 10 from last year at au lower price or buy the watch SE 3.
    Am I the only one who calls apple watch series 11 series 10?

    I upgraded from SE2 to SE3 on Sunday! Love the new watch and my favorite is the Always On Display and the hand motions.
