Apple Watch - Series 6 or SE?

Anyone more clued up than me please?

Going to treat myself to a new Apple Watch.

Had my current one a few years and love it. But it's outdated now. No longer gets updates etc.

On paper it seems they're the same apart from the 6 doing blood oxygen readings and ECGs.

Not something I'll need and I'd rather save the additional £110.

Or am I missing something else?

I don't want cellular.

I assume you have looked at this Apple link with compares the two, there really is very little difference www.apple.com/uk/watch/compare/

Yes. That's what I'm leaning to the SE.

Seems very little to make the 6 worth me spending the extra.

Just wanted to ask in case I was missing something. Smile

How weird - I was just looking at these this morning! I’m leaning toward the SE as it’s a more reasonable price and it does everything I’d need.

I recently upgraded mine to the SE, my previous one had run out of storage space. It does everything I need it to, I also decided not to get the 6 as I didn’t need the additional features on it.

I've just treated myself similarly.

I had a series one 7 years ago nearly so went for it and got the 6 - wanting a difference from the older one.

It's fab so far. 😀

For what it's worth - I really like the option for always on

You can turn it off if you prefer and it used less battery.

I got a 6 because I wanted the always on option for when I am running. Otherwise, I would have gone for the SE.
I’m very happy with the 6 but the battery does reduce quite noticeably compared to my old one.

I looked into this too. As far as I can tell, the 6 has two apps which I have no need for
