If you want to own an Apple Watch while you’re on a tight budget, or if you want to try it out first before investing in the latest models of the smartwatch, check out Walmart’s offer for the first-generation Apple Watch SE. The 40mm version of the wearable device is available for just $199 after an $80 discount to its sticker price of $279, in one of the most popular Apple Watch deals from the retailer with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours. Finalize the purchase now to make sure that you avail the price cut, and to get the Apple Watch SE by December 14 — well before the rush of the holiday season.
Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE
The first-generation Apple Watch SE was rolled out in September 2020, but after more than two years, it’s still a worthwhile purchase, even with the recent release of the second-generation Apple Watch SE. Between the Apple Watch SE 2 and Apple Watch SE, going for the older and cheaper model is acceptable because there’s no change in cases sizes and display resolution, battery life and charging time are similar, they have the same sensors such as a heart rate monitor and an accelerometer, and they’re both capable of running Apple’s WatchOS 9.
The health and fitness features of the first-generation Apple Watch SE includes sleep monitoring, workout tracking, and irregular heart rhythm detection. That’s not the only draw of the wearable device though. It’s very easy to pair with your iPhone, its response to commands is almost instant, and the Digital Crown — the rotating button at the side that you use to navigate — is a joy to use. You’ll receive notifications from your apps without having to take out your smartphone, and it works with Apple Pay for even more convenience.
