Moreover, in fact, they functionally lost only in the size of the screen and the absence of new dials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A year later, Apple Watch Series 5 came out. But the budget again did not allow switching to them, and I did not dare to buy last year&#8217;s Series 4.\u00a0And by the way, I did the right thing, because in 2020 there really is plenty to choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsense\">\n<h2><span id=\"kakie_apple_watch_oficialno_prodayutsya\">Which Apple Watch is officially on sale<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today, the current line of smart watches from Apple is represented by the following models:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2020 flagship Apple Watch Series 6;<\/li>\n<li>budget novelty of 2020\u00a0Apple Watch SE\u00a0;<\/li>\n<li>2017 model Apple Watch Series 3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the Russian website Apple Series 6 are offered from 36,990 rubles, Apple Watch SE &#8211; from 24,990 rubles, Series 3 &#8211; from 17,990 rubles.\u00a0Thus, the difference in price between the flagship and budget models is RUB 12,000, and between the budget model and the 2017 model &#8211; RUB 7,000.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"kuda_propali_apple_watch_5\">Where did Apple Watch 5 go?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the same time,\u00a0last year&#8217;s Series 5\u00a0model\u00a0was discontinued, since now its analogue\u00a0is the SE model\u00a0(albeit without the most important flagship function &#8211; Always On Display).\u00a0And the Series 4 was discontinued last year so as not to compete with Series 5. But last year&#8217;s flagship watch can be easily found in reseller warehouses at reasonable prices.\u00a0Another question, is it worth buying them after the SE model is released?<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"xarakteristiki_apple_watch_se\">Apple Watch SE specifications<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you know, the internal components of the Apple Watch are not based on a printed circuit board, but on the so-called System-On-Package.\u00a0The budget novelty for 2020 is built on the S5 system with a dual-core 64-bit processor, exactly the same as used in the Apple Watch Series 5. This processor is only 20% slower than the S6 processor in the flagship Series 6 model, but twice as fast as the S3 processor Series 3 models.<\/p>\n<p>The display in the SE model is the same as the Series 6 &#8211;\u00a0<strong>OLED LTPO with Retina technology<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Brightness 1000 cd \/ m2.\u00a0But in the budget model, Always On Display is disabled, and for those who really need this function, this is perhaps the only serious drawback of the Apple Watch Series SE.\u00a0Such buyers will either buy last year&#8217;s model at retail, or have already added 12,000 rubles.\u00a0and take a new product &#8211; Series 6.<\/p>\n<p>The radio module in both the flagship and budget models is built on the W3 chip, but the Apple Watch Series 6 for the first time got the ability to work via WiFi in the 5 GHz range, the Watch SE, like all last year&#8217;s models, can connect to wireless access points exclusively at 2.4 GHz.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Watch SE comes in an aluminum case only and does not have two new exclusive colors.\u00a0But in fairness, it is worth noting that in the Russian Federation and the CIS countries only watches in an aluminum case, the so-called versions of GPS, are officially sold since in our countries the e-SIM technology in watches is not yet available. Flagship watches in a steel case and titanium (Edited version) are always LTE versions containing an e-SIM module. You can buy them only in those countries where the corresponding technology is implemented, both legally (allowed by the state) and technically.<\/p>\n<p><em>In all other respects, the Watch SE is\u00a0<strong>identical to the Watch Series 6 in<\/strong><\/em><em> terms of sensors, functions, and capabilities<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adsense\"><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"stoit_li_pokupat_apple_watch_se\">Should you buy an Apple Watch SE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For athletes and for some drivers, this can be convenient &#8211; do not twist your hand so that the screen lights up and shows the time or training parameters.\u00a0But for me, the autonomy of my gadget is much more important.\u00a0With the always-on screen, Series 5, taken off at 7 am from charging, under normal use, I barely survived until half-past one in the afternoon. And where, pray to tell, to charge the watch in the middle of the day? But without the always-on screen, the same clock can last almost two full days.\u00a0In the late evening of the second day, they will be put on charge, and the next morning I will again get two days of autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what a sin to hide.\u00a0For almost a year of the existence of this extremely useful function, engineers from Cupertino have not improved it for all dials. Problems with displaying the countdown with a stopwatch on an inactive screen have not disappeared;\u00a0apart from some workouts, other information that you really need is not displayed until you turn your wrist and the screen wakes up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adsense\"><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"minusy_apple_watch_se\">Cons of Apple Watch SE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now one more trick &#8211; ECG.\u00a0I spoke with several cardiologists.\u00a0A watch as a functional diagnostic tool\u00a0makes them smile.\u00a0What to say about a watch, when even certified electronic blood pressure monitors give a significant error in measuring blood pressure compared to measurements taken by a real person &#8211; a doctor or nurse using a conventional tonometer with an arrow and a phonendoscope.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe in a couple of years, wearable electronics will give accurate results, but for now, the\u00a0function of taking an ECG in Apple Watch\u00a0is not certified by the Ministry of Health either in Russia or in many other countries, and therefore it is disabled in our region.<\/p>\n<p>We, of course, do not live in the most favorable epoch from the point of view of ecology, but still the number of people with respiratory disorders is not so great that measuring the level of oxygen in the blood is an integral part of a smartwatch.\u00a0At the same time, the Watch SE heart rate is measured no worse than the flagship model.\u00a0Their optical heart rate sensor is exactly the same and better than the Series 3.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the Watch SE does not support WiFi at 5 GHz may be a shame for someone, but we didn\u2019t notice that Series 5 and all previous models worked exclusively at 2.4 GHz.<\/p>\n<p>Now about e-SIP.\u00a0Someone will be right when they say, but the processor of the flagship S6 model is 20% faster.\u00a0But this growth of 20% is practically not noticeable.\u00a0We still cannot put a large number of some resource-intensive applications on the watch to really feel it.\u00a0And to pay extra for new technologies that cannot find their full-fledged use, as much as 12,000 rubles.\u00a0Well, sorry, I think it&#8217;s not reasonable.\u00a0An interesting U1 chip is installed in Watch Series 6, but in Russia and the CIS countries it will not work, at least in the coming years, so there is no point in overpaying for its presence either.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adsense\"><\/div>\n<p>Another separate topic &#8211; two new exclusive colors of Watch Series 6. Those who care about it will pay 12,000 rubles.\u00a0I am quite satisfied with the &#8220;classic&#8221; palette, to which we have become accustomed for four years.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"chto_vybrat_8212_apple_watch_se_ili_apple_watch_series_3\">Which to choose &#8211; Apple Watch SE or Apple Watch Series 3<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>A twofold increase in processor speed is still significant.\u00a0In addition, an enlarged screen, new wonderful and useful watch faces;\u00a0always on altimeter, compass, no matter how skeptical someone is to him;\u00a0improved accelerometer with fall detection.\u00a0All of this is in the Apple Watch SE, but not in the Apple Watch 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_439223\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><span>And 32 GB of storage is also available instead of 8 for applications, your favorite music and podcasts.\u00a0For this it is really worth paying 7000 rubles.\u00a0From aesthetics, it is worth adding vibration feedback when rotating the digital crown and a side button neatly recessed into the case, which protruded in Series 3 and earlier models.\u00a0The Watch SE&#8217;s microphone and speaker are better, and they can measure noise levels.\u00a0And the back cover with sensors is made of glass, while the Series 3 is made of plastic.\u00a0In general, my choice is obvious.\u00a0I am already putting off and looking forward to the quick sweetness of the long-awaited acquisition.\u00a0What smartwatch will you buy?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First generation\u00a0Apple Watchwent on sale back in 2015.\u00a0Much has changed since then.\u00a0The expensive representatives of the Gold Edition line have gone into oblivion, in 2016 the first generation was replaced by Series 1 and in parallel Series 2 with its own GPS came out, in 2017 with the release of Series 3 our beloved company [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5991],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8864"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
