   The performance is awesome. Cellular data works seamlessly. Band is very hard to put on. Scratch resistance is okay. 40 mm is good for kids. Battery life is okay for a Cellular watch.

   I have kids that I do not feel are at the age to get a cell phone yet. They’re actually pretty responsible. However, they’re not there yet and this was our second solution to bridging the gap in needing to communicate with us.First, this was relatively easy to set up. But, you need an updated iPhone for this. Check with Apple as you do need to have an iPhone but they’ll let you know exactly which models you can use. For reference I tried my old old iPhone 6s and it wouldn’t work. Its considered ancient by now. I had to purchased a used iPhone 11 for this purpose. You CAN use someone else’s phone in your family but here is the catch: although you will likely use the phone to set the watch up, you will need to reference that phone and the watch app within it to make some changes to the watch. I almost had grandma who was with us set it up but she then left to another state and it would have been a pain to call her and ask her to modify settings a few hours away from us.Once set up, it’s easy for the kids to use. Mine use it to notify me of anything they need when they go back and forth between each parent’s home. If there is anything urgent they can send a message. Otherwise, because it lacks the massive array of distractions a general phone has, they don’t meddle with it too much. For example, I’ve never had to say ” so and so please put your watch away and pay attention to…”. Yea… Hasn’t happened yet. They have played around with their emoji face and keep track of their steps and challenge us with it. Otherwise, it serves as a way to call and message when needed.We could have cared less for what color because ultimately we bought screen protectors to cover the screen and they come in different colors. The same goes for the watch strap.For our needs:- we needed it for the messaging and call function.- the added plus is the “Find My” section. We have tried using the apple air tag and that was awful in updating in real time (or as close to it as needed). The find my feature on the watch is way more accurate and faster to update. We don’t need to track out kids’ steps every waking moment. But we use this after school to know when they’ve left school, are on the bus and when we should leave to pick them up. You can set up alerts for locations so we have an alert set when our kids leave the school. This pops up on my phone and says ” So and So has left 1234 School Drive” and how long ago that was. It also allows you to set alerts for when they arrive also. This helps us BIG time. The air tag wouldn’t update for long periods of time.Charging: it charges quickly in less than an hour (probably less than 30 min) and it lasts all day. But, be careful to close our apps that are in use and can drain the battery . The first day of school and first day using this the watch died half way through. My kid had left the alarm, activity feature, text, and a few other items opened. Now they know to close them out after using it.

   I am not crazy about ianything, but I got an iphone to try out. Works ok, but I like the watch much better. Has lots of features that I may or may not need but are fun to use. It’s good to have a watch on my wrist again.

   We all know how expensive Apple is compared to other options. However, this product is very well made at a fair cost.Pros:1. Design: It is very cute and comfortable2. Ability to make calls autonomously. This is the best feature of all. A before and after.3. Monitoring in exercise. The app is excellent4. In general all the articulation with the iPhoneCons:1. The battery life, which although lasts a day of intense use, could be betterRecommended product.

   I think that SE model has the best bank for your buck compared to other apple watches.

   I bought this for my wife, she’s always wanted one but never dropped the hammer on buying one. I finally had the ability to buy it for her birthday and couldn’t be happier. She absolutely loves the color of the band. The applications are great, everything she could want. Tracking her sleep, her heart rate, being able to receive and send out texts. The battery life could be a little bit better but overall, a great product.

   Works great, sync’d with iPHONE and MacBook quickly and easily.Added the cellular service and so thankful I did, less screen time and doom scrolling. Just music, phone, and messages. I’m on my feet and walk around a lot at work, feels great being sans phone. My pockets like it too ♥️

   I screwed up a year ago and bought a gen4 TickTalk watch for my 10 year old; after countless problems, hassles, head-scratching, and finally (thankfully) breakage… I purchased two of these Apple SE watches–for both 10 and 8 year olds–and am so glad I did. I had problems setting the first one up, but Apple was *right* on it (called me within 20 seconds of my posting issue on chat) and it’s costing me less than $12/month with my existing AT&T account per watch (educator discount; otherwise maybe $16-17 month, not sure), plus $35 activation fee. As for the watch: it’s an Apple Watch. ’nuff said.

   I usually don’t wear a watch. But I wanted usefulness of my friends’ fit watches, plus the easy connection with my iPhone. I was surprised at the size options, and chose one perfect for me. The magnetic charger is included, super easy, and the battery lasts all day. Performance? This baby is astonishing. The number of apps on it is staggering. And I’m old enough to feel like I’m in a Dick Tracy comic strip every time I answer a call. What a great watch.

    Used once when he fell- worked great He is mentally really good so able to remember how to use Voice activated mostly He does not use for anything else except timeTakes a good hour to charge battery , so have a negotiated time to put on charger when is the least amount of danger for him to fall ( morning breakfast at table is when we do) Purchased a new magnetic watch and to make it easier for him to take off and on Same rubber material that the original comes with Works great – this is his second watch in 10 years
