Design & Display
The new S10 chip allows for an Always-On display, so you can glance at the time or notifications without having to raise your wrist.
The display's glass is also 4x more resistant to cracks than the previous model, making it the toughest glass available in a smartwatch.
A redesigned watch face gallery with two new watch faces: Flow, which uses Liquid Glass numerals that beautifully refract swirls of color that also respond to the movement of a user’s wrist, and Exactograph, a modern reinterpretation of a traditional regulator clock that separates the hours, minutes, and seconds for precise timekeeping. In addition, over 20 watch faces are updated so users can see a ticking seconds hand without raising their wrist.
Performance
Also thanks to the new S10 chip, there's a faster on-device Siri, now with the ability to access and log health data. For requests that do not require information from the internet, such as starting a workout or setting a timer, results are delivered more quickly and with more reliable responses.


New Health & Fitness Features
For the first time on an SE model, you get a new Wrist Temperature sensor, which can provide insights into your overall well-being. This data also enables Retrospective Ovulation Estimates, which can help with family planning.
Additionally, the watch can now provide Sleep Apnea notifications if it detects signs of a breathing issue after 30 days of consistent tracking. A new Sleep Score feature also helps you understand the quality of your sleep, giving you insights into what you can do to improve it.
Workout Buddy, the new AI-powered personal trainer, provides personalised, spoken motivation throughout your workout based on your performance data, such as heart rate, pace, and distance.
