You can currently purchase an Apple Watch starting at just $149

If you are an iPhone owner on a budget and are currently looking for a good fitness tracker, the latest is Apple Watch SE is a great option. This is especially true today, as Apple’s cheapest smartwatch is available at Amazon and Walmart in the 40mm GPS-enabled configuration starting at just $149 ($100 off), an all-time low.

Apple’s entry-level wearable offers all the essential features most people expect from a fitness tracker, allowing you to monitor your sleep quality, heart rate, and other basic exercise metrics. Apple has also included a few extras, including fall detection and emergency calling, as well as support for Apple Pay, Family Setup, and even safety features like accident detection. It has the same processor as the Apple Watch Series 8 and also the original Watch Ultra. So it might not be as fast as Apple’s latest wearables, but it’s an improvement over previous models like the Series 6. It’s even compatible with watchOS 11. That means you’ll get the new Vitals app, new watch faces and – what most importantly – being able to use it. Rest days.

However, there are some caveats to consider. First, rumors suggest that a plastic Apple Watch SE could be in the works. Second, you’ll miss out on the Apple Watch Series 10’s advanced health and fitness features, such as: B. Temperature, ECG and depth and water temperature sensors. You also don’t get the S10 Series 10’s larger, always-on display or SiP chip, which enables Apple’s newer double-tap gesture and Siri processing on the device. But if you just need a good tracker for the basics, the current model is worth a look.
