Apple Watch SE 3
Apple (video, MacRumors, Hacker News):
Apple Watch SE 3 delivers a more advanced set of health features than the previous generation — including sleep score, retrospective ovulation estimates, sleep apnea notifications, and wrist temperature sensing for richer Vitals app data — plus a robust set of fitness features to provide daily motivation. The S10 chip powers an Always-On display, the double tap and wrist flick gestures, on-device Siri, and fast charging. Apple Watch SE 3 also offers 5G cellular capabilities and a cover glass that is more durable than ever.

Even with the addition of the Always-On display, Apple Watch SE 3 offers all-day, 18-hour battery life, and also features fast charging for the first time. Apple Watch SE 3 now charges up to 2x faster than the previous generation; charging for 15 minutes can add up to eight hours of battery for daily use, and it can charge to about 80 percent in 45 minutes.
This is probably the only hardware from today’s announcements that I’ll buy. My first-generation Apple Watch SE is just feeling really slow, and now that its OS is several versions behind my iPhone’s the complications have become unreliable.

Update (2025-10-01): Juli Clover:
Compared to the more expensive Apple Watch Series 11, the SE line lacks ECGs, blood oxygen sensing, and hypertension notifications. It is also limited to 40mm and 44mm screen sizes, and doesn’t have the newer, thinner display that Apple introduced with the Series 10.

Yup, this seemed the only compelling purchase. I can live without the rest for now.
