If you received an Apple gift card over the holidays and are exploring the different models, we can help point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its $799 price tag, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is clearly aimed at a niche, high-end market and athletes. For most consumers, the purchasing decision likely lies between the Apple Watch SE 3 and the Apple Watch Series 11, starting at $249 and $399, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its lower price tag, the Apple Watch SE 3 comes with much of the same software as the Series 11. If you\u2019re looking for a straightforward smartwatch with essential features like step counting and sleep tracking, the SE 3 is an excellent and affordable choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Series 11 and Ultra 3 offer modest improvements over their predecessors, the SE 3 has received a significant upgrade from the SE 2. The smartwatch jumps from the S8 chip to the S10 and now features an always-on display, supports fast charging, offers better crack resistance, introduces new health features, includes a wrist-temperature sensor for advanced sleep tracking and retrospective ovulation insights, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"305\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3047856\" style=\"width:948px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png 3280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=150,67 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=300,135 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=768,345 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=680,305 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=1200,539 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=1280,574 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=430,193 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=720,323 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=900,404 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=800,359 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=1536,689 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=2048,919 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=668,300 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=1375,617 1375w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=708,318 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/apple-watch-se3-colors.png?resize=50,22 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it\u2019s not as flashy as the Series 11 and Ultra 3, it definitely stands out and packs great value, especially for first-time buyers and younger users. The gap between the standard and budget smart watches has never felt smaller.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, if you want access to more advanced health features, better battery life, and a larger display, the Series 11 would be the better option for your needs.\u00a0But, it\u2019s worth comparing both models because the SE 3 might be all you need. <\/p>\n<p
