It has the same S10 chip as the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3, and an always-on display that Apple says is four times more scratch resistant than the previous model. It supports Apple\u2019s SOS and fall-detection features, plus an entirely new feature called Sleep Score, which analyzes the amount of time you spend in each sleep stage and gives you a score based on the overall quality of sleep. The Apple Watch SE 3 also supports sleep apnea detection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Apple says the SE 3\u2019s charging speed is twice as fast as the previous Apple Watch SE, offering eight hours of battery life off a 15 minute charge. The cellular version of the Apple Watch SE 3 supports 5G for the first time. When you\u2019re not connected to the internet, you can use on-device Siri to handle local requests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Apple Watch SE 3 is available in two case sizes: 42mm and 44mm. The 42mm GPS model costs $249, and is available for preorder at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-Smartwatch-Starlight-Aluminium-Always\/dp\/B0FQFLKNSK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/product\/apple-watch-se-3-gps-40mm-midnight-aluminum-case-with-midnight-sport-band-m-l-midnight-2025\/JJGCQGVKH2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Buy<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Apple-Watch-SE-Midnight-GPS-S-M-40mm\/17814320196?classType=VARIANT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a>.

It lasts up to 48 hours per charge, and has the same new 5G modem as the rest of Apple\u2019s upcoming smartwatches.
