The[Apple Watch SE 3](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQFW7M9H?tag=theverge02-20)is at an all\-time low of $199, making the sleeper hit of last year’s Apple Watches an even better value\. While the Series 11 and Ultra 3 were iterative updates, the SE 3 was a wide\-ranging glow\-up that added an always\-on display, gestures like double tap and wrist flick, a wrist\-temperature sensor, 5G connectivity, fast charging, a speaker, and an upgraded processor that’ll support watchOS 27 when it arrives in the fall\.

This is the Apple Watch that I recommend for most people, unless you really want a watch with thinner bezels and EKG and atrial fibrillation detection\. The 40mm size is also great if you have a smaller wrist\. When I was testing the watch, I really didn’t feel any FOMO\. But if advanced health features are a sticking point, the[Apple Watch Series 11](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQF9ZX7P?tag=theverge02-20)is also $50 off for an all\-time low price of $279\. Just a note for bargain hunters: keep in mind that we’re expecting to see a Series 12 in a few months, while we won’t likely see an update to the SE line for at least another year\. ## Verge Shopping Sign up to get the best deals on products we’ve found and tested sent to your inbox\. **Follow topics and authors**from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates\. - Victoria Song ## Verge Shopping Sign up to get the best deals on products we’ve found and tested sent to your inbox\.
