The second-generation Apple Watch SE is here and it's redesigned
If the new Apple Watch Series 8 and newly introduced Apple Watch Ultra are just a bit too much for you to spend on a watch, Apple's got you covered.
At Wednesday's Apple event, the Cupertino-based company unveiled the second generation of its most affordable smartwatch line, Apple Watch SE. The latest SE model is not only more powerful than ever before, but it has a refreshed design, too.
The second-generation Apple Watch SE borrows from the colors Apple launched for its latest Macbook Air M2 line and comes in silver, midnight, and starlight. The Apple Watch SE is made of 100 percent recycled aluminum and has a new back design made of nylon composite materials. According to Apple, the second-generation Apple Watch SE reduces its carbon footprint by 80 percent.
