The Apple Watch SE 2 is currently Apple’s most affordable model, but not the least accurate!
In the world of technology, the best is often associated with the most expensive, and there is a lot of truth in that, but in the case of Apple, at least, it is a good investment. According to the testimony of a lucky user of the firm with the bitten apple, the Apple Watch SE 2, currently Apple’s most economical model, was essential in saving his life, after he reported a heart anomaly.
According to a post by a Reddit user identified as V3N0M0US83, his Apple Watch SE 2 alerted him to an abnormally high heart rate, prompting him to seek immediate medical attention. V3N0M0US83’s quick action helped him discover a serious heart condition that, if not caught early, could have had fatal consequences.

In the post, the user explained that he ignored the first alert, saying he felt no discomfort, but received two more heart rate alerts while sitting at the kitchen table the next day.
The Apple Watch saved my life last weekend. I have an SE 2 and on Thursday my watch beeped saying my heart rate was over 120 bpm.”
Due to the second Apple Watch alert, the bride, a medical assistant in training, intervened. Listening to her heart with a stethoscope confirmed the device’s concerns: “her heart was racing.” This immediate medical validation led the user to seek emergency medical attention, where it was discovered that she needed life-saving treatment.
The diagnosis by the specialists who treated him at the hospital determined that he suffered from atrial flutter, an abnormal heart rhythm that causes the heart to beat too quickly.
Atrial flutter is less common than atrial fibrillation, but both can have symptoms such as feeling faint, tired, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness. If left untreated, they can lead to an increased risk of stroke.
Treatment for the condition consisted of receiving low-energy shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm. A subsequent ECG was positive and he was able to go home.
Of course, after this experience, the man’s recommendation coincides with what people in similar situations have already given.
“If anyone is hesitant about buying a watch, I highly recommend that they do so.”
Apple introduced the second-generation Apple Watch SE on September 15, 2020 alongside the Apple Watch Series 6, and began shipping on September 18.
V3N0M0US83’s experience is a timely reminder that even the most affordable wearables can offer essential health features that can make a difference in a critical moment. Apple Watch SE proves that life-saving technology doesn’t have to be a luxury.
