The Apple Watch SE is one of the best smartwatches because it's a hybrid of the Apple Watch Series 5 and Series 4. It offers international emergency calling, fall detection, and noise monitoring. 

In our Apple Watch SE review, we found Apple's new smartwatch to be a well-rounded device. It has a plethora of customizable watch faces, NFC for mobile payments, and supports Apple's new Family Setup, which lets you set up and manage an Apple Watch for your child or parent.

Meanwhile,  in our Apple Watch 6 review we've found the watch to be a perfect choice for both fitness newbies and pros alike. The smartwatch retains the bright Always-On Retina display and sleek aesthetic of Series 5 while adding features that fitness enthusiasts are bound to love, including ECG and blood oxygen monitors to track your health more closely.
