Apple has announced the Apple Watch SE, a cheaper variant of its popular lineup of premium smartwatches. The new Watch SE, taking the ‘SE’ name that’s usually given to more affordable options of Apple’s majorly premium products, packs similar features present in normal Apple smartwatches, including the same accelerometer, gyroscope, and always-on altimeter as the also newly unveiled Apple Watch Series 6, as well as safety capabilities including fall detection, Emergency SOS, and international emergency calling. 

The Apple Watch SE features Retina display, with thin borders and curved corners that’s 30% larger than that of the Apple Watch Series 3. It comes with a dual-core processor that caters to fast performance, for comparison up to two times faster than the Apple Watch Series 3. Other of its features include standard ones like Bluetooth connectivity, Apple Siri, and the presence of a speaker and microphone.

The basic (GPS) version of the Apple Watch SE will retail for $279 while the step-up (GPS + Cellular) version will go for $329. Availability begins on Friday, the 18th of September.
