The Apple Watch SE 3 is at an all-time low of $199, making the sleeper hit of last year’s Apple Watches an even better value. While the Series 11 and Ultra 3 were iterative updates, the SE 3 was a wide-ranging glow-up that added an always-on display, gestures like double tap and wrist flick, a wrist-temperature sensor, 5G connectivity, fast charging, a speaker, and an upgraded processor that’ll support watchOS 27 when it arrives in the fall.
