[0]
as you probably already know apple just
[2]
had their annual september event
[4]
where they released their new apple
[5]
watch series 6 and they did something
[8]
this year that they usually don't do
[10]
they released a budget apple watch se
[13]
model
[14]
alongside the premium series 6. and to
[16]
make choosing a new watch even more
[18]
difficult
[19]
they're continuing to sell the series 3
[22]
model
[22]
which is now on sale on amazon for only
[26]
169
[27]
making it 110 less expensive than the
[30]
apple watch se
[32]
and 230 less expensive than the series
[36]
six
[36]
the point that i'm making is that it's
[38]
probably never been more tough
[39]
for new apple watch buyers to choose the
[42]
right model
[43]
for your needs and your budget or
[46]
potentially for your child
[48]
thanks to the new family setup feature
[50]
which i'll get into in just a minute so
[52]
what i'm gonna do in this video is
[54]
explain
[54]
every single difference between those
[56]
three apple watch models
[58]
and then i'm gonna recommend one for
[60]
each different use case
[62]
doing my best to make sure that you
[63]
don't make any purchasing mistakes
[65]
so before we jump in be sure to check
[67]
out our premium
[68]
apple product hoodie down below to keep
[71]
you nice and warm and cozy
[73]
as these final days of summer are slowly
[76]
fading away
[76]
oh and by the way thank you guys for
[78]
getting our video from yesterday on
[80]
youtube's trending page
[82]
definitely check out that video if you
[84]
already have an apple watch
[85]
and you're thinking of upgrading to the
[87]
series 6. now getting back to the
[89]
difference between the three apple watch
[91]
models
[91]
the biggest visible change is the
[93]
available finishes
[95]
the series 3 just gets silver or space
[98]
great aluminum
[99]
while the se adds gold aluminum but the
[102]
series 6 goes
[103]
all out adding two brand new aluminum
[106]
finishes
[107]
blue and product red on top of that you
[110]
can choose
[110]
unique stainless steel or titanium
[113]
finishes
[114]
but those models are priced much higher
[116]
than the others
[117]
the se and series 6 also come with a
[120]
case that's 11 percent
[121]
thinner than the one on the series 3. so
[124]
it helps them feel a little bit more
[126]
premium but by far
[127]
the most important feature that i think
[129]
holds the most value
[131]
is the fact that the series 3 uses the
[133]
smaller legacy display
[135]
that is squared off while the other two
[138]
have larger displays
[139]
with rounded corners which feel much
[141]
more modern and make it easier to read
[144]
what's on the display another
[145]
interesting point is that while the
[147]
series 3 supports some of the new watch
[149]
faces
[150]
it's limited to a smaller version like
[153]
the fire
[153]
watch face and there are a lot of new
[155]
watch faces that are
[156]
only available on the series 4 or newer
[160]
apple watch models
[161]
another difference is found on the back
[163]
with the ceramic and sapphire crystal
[165]
back on the series 6
[166]
and se instead of a composite back for
[169]
the series 3
[171]
and as you can see the new back looks
[173]
much more modern
[174]
that's also because the new watches come
[176]
with the 2nd gen optical heart sensor
[179]
a better accelerometer that can measure
[181]
up to 32 g
[183]
which allows it to enable the fall
[185]
detection feature
[187]
which can automatically notify a
[188]
designated contact
[190]
or the authorities if it detects a fall
[193]
and no further movement
[194]
the new sc and series 6 also get a
[197]
built-in compass
[198]
and always on altimeter a speaker that's
[201]
50
[202]
louder haptic feedback built into the
[204]
digital crown
[206]
32 gigabytes of storage instead of only
[208]
8 gigabytes on the series 3
[210]
and a better microphone which enables
[213]
the noise monitoring feature
[214]
in terms of spec differences they both
[217]
get ltpo displays
[219]
which are more efficient they both get
[221]
apple's updated w3 wireless chip
[223]
which is also more efficient they both
[226]
get bluetooth 5
[227]
and perhaps the biggest deal is the fact
[229]
that the series 3
[231]
cannot be configured with lce cellular
[233]
service
[234]
so it has to be in range of your iphone
[237]
or using wi-fi
[238]
this means that the series 3 doesn't get
[240]
international emergency calling
[242]
but it does support emergency sos only
[245]
if your iphone is nearby
[247]
the series 6 and sc can do this by
[250]
themselves
[251]
if you buy an lce model and because of
[254]
that you can use
[255]
family setup which means that you can
[257]
set up an apple watch
[258]
without requiring an iphone which is
[261]
perfect for kids
[262]
in terms of performance the series 3
[264]
comes with the s3
[265]
chip the se gets the s5 chip and the
[268]
series 6
[269]
gets the s6 chip we personally found the
[272]
s3 chip to be a little bit too slow
[274]
with the s5 being perfectly smooth so
[277]
we're not sure if the brand new s6 chip
[279]
in the series 6
[280]
is gonna make that big of a difference
[282]
in the real world surprisingly
[284]
all three of these models have the same
[286]
50 meters of water resistance
[289]
they can all notify you of any heart
[291]
rate discrepancies
[292]
and they all have the same 18 hours of
[295]
rated battery life
[296]
as far as the bands they all support the
[298]
same ones even the brand new solo loop
[302]
but since the case on the series 3 is
[304]
slightly smaller
[305]
you should probably order a slightly
[307]
larger band to account for the
[309]
difference
[310]
now before we finally get into our apple
[312]
watch buyer's guide
[313]
there are a couple of features that are
[315]
exclusive to the series 6
[317]
that i want to mention it of course gets
[319]
the always on display
[321]
which stays dimly lit instead of simply
[324]
shutting off when it's in standby mode
[326]
and it's now two and a half times
[328]
brighter than on the series 5
[330]
when in always on mode it also gets the
[333]
exclusive ecg test feature
[335]
and the brand new blood oxygen
[337]
measurement feature
[338]
which can be a huge deal for people with
[341]
health issues
[342]
on top of that it's the very first apple
[344]
watch to support the 5 gigahertz band
[346]
wi-fi connection
[348]
and it's the first to get apple's new
[350]
ultra wideband chip
[352]
which could enable some really cool
[353]
features down the road so there you guys
[355]
go
[356]
there are all the differences between
[357]
those apple watch models
[359]
and with that let's get into the buyer's
[361]
guide if you're someone who really cares
[363]
about the fashion aspect of owning an
[365]
apple watch
[366]
and you don't really have a limited
[367]
budget then the series 6 is probably the
[370]
best choice for you
[371]
because it comes in the largest variety
[373]
of finishes so you can for example
[376]
get a gold stainless steel case and a
[378]
matching chain link
[380]
band which looks very premium on top of
[383]
that the series 6 supports the always-on
[385]
display
[386]
making it look more like a real watch
[388]
when you're not using it
[389]
and of course it comes with the best
[391]
specs and all the new unique features
[393]
like ecg
[394]
blood oxygen monitoring and the u1 chip
[397]
but i'd say that if those features don't
[399]
really matter much to you
[400]
and you're looking for the best bang for
[402]
your buck then the apple watch se
[404]
is probably the best choice because it
[406]
packs the same design
[408]
and almost all of the same features as
[410]
the series 6.
[411]
the most important one is the larger
[413]
display with rounded corners
[415]
which makes the biggest difference for
[417]
day-to-day use
[418]
the s5 chip isn't as fast but in our
[421]
experience
[422]
it performs very well and doesn't limit
[424]
you
[425]
in any way like the series 3's s3 chip
[428]
does
[428]
it also gets the same 2nd gen sensors 32
[432]
gigs of storage
[433]
and improvements like the better speaker
[436]
and microphone
[437]
now if you simply just want a basic
[439]
apple watch
[440]
for the absolute best price especially
[443]
if you just want it to track your heart
[445]
rate
[446]
and other metrics for fitness and
[448]
workouts
[449]
you really can't beat the 169 dollar
[452]
sale on amazon
[453]
which we have links to down in the
[455]
description below you can still use all
[457]
the same bands
[458]
but you're limited to the silver and
[460]
space gray aluminum finishes
[463]
you don't get the full selection of
[464]
watch faces but you probably don't mind
[467]
if you're going with that model you
[469]
don't get the best specs
[470]
like for example bluetooth 4.2 the older
[473]
w2 chip and
[475]
just 8 gigs of storage but that probably
[477]
doesn't matter that much to you
[479]
if you just need a simple apple watch
[481]
for a great price
[482]
however there is one major mistake you
[485]
need to avoid
[486]
if you're considering the apple watch
[488]
series 3. if you're thinking of getting
[490]
it as a gift for an elderly person
[493]
or if you're buying it for your child to
[495]
take advantage of the new family setup
[497]
feature
[498]
the series 3 is not going to cut it
[501]
because it doesn't support
[502]
lte cellular service so they'll have to
[505]
have an iphone
[506]
to set it up this new feature is
[508]
absolutely great
[509]
if your child is not quite old enough to
[512]
have their own cell phone
[513]
but you still want to keep track of
[514]
their location and be able to call them
[517]
at any time knowing that they can pick
[519]
up your phone call
[520]
right from their wrist and for that the
[522]
new cellular model of the apple watch sc
[525]
is the absolute best bang for your buck
[527]
starting at 329
[530]
since service providers charge
[532]
significantly less per month
[534]
to connect a smart watch compared to a
[536]
dedicated smartphone line
[538]
and your kids will also get the added
[539]
benefit of all the fitness features
[542]
which can help encourage them to
[543]
exercise but if your child or an
[546]
elderly person has certain health issues
[549]
it may be a good idea to get the series
[550]
6 model
[551]
to take advantage of the blood oxygen
[553]
monitoring and
[554]
ecg testing features but that does bring
[557]
the price up to 500
[559]
instead of 329 for the apple watch sc
[563]
