All Apple Watch Models
The Apple Watch SE 3 models are similar to their predecessors, but have a faster and more capable processor, twice the internal storage, an "Always-On" Display, more durable Ion-X glass, and fast charge capability. Cellular models also have 5G capability. It is no longer available in silver, though (only the "Starlight" and "Midnight" color options).
This particular model, the Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS, 44 mm) does not have wireless cellular capability, but higher-end models in the series also are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone for some functionality. This "GPS" model is required to be connected to an iPhone 11 or later running iOS 26 or later.
All Apple Watch SE 3 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a touch capable display. This particular Apple Watch SE 3, the GPS model in the 44 mm size, features an "Always On" Retina 368x448 LTPO OLED screen with Ion-X glass packed in an aluminum case. Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall in modest use.
There are two aluminum housing options with two band sizes each available from Apple Authorized Resellers -- a nearly black "Midnight" with a small/medium or medium/large Midnight Sport Band (pictured, left) and a warm gray "Starlight" with a small/medium or medium/large Starlight Sport Band (pictured, right). A variety of other watch bands are available from Apple via customization, as well.
