The Apple Watch SE debuted in September 2020 alongside the Apple Watch Series 6. This September will mark two years since its launch, when the Apple Watch SE 2022 is expected, some news of which has already been leaked. This watch has its audience because it offers great features at an entry-level price. Let’s see what the rumors are all about.
Apple Watch SE 2022: always-on display and other improvements
The Apple Watch SE 2020 put the balance between features and price on the table. This watch is based on the design of the Series 4, released two years earlier and it is marketed in sizes of 40 and 44 millimeters. The big difference is that this watch does without the electrocardiogram, the pulse oximeter and the permanent screen. Functions that allow it to be sold at the starting price of 299 dollars.

Now Apple is considering transforming this device, according to the latest leaks. Apparently the 2022 Apple Watch SE is going to have “significant improvements over the 2020 model”. Specific, we will see the screen always onimproved audio and a new sensor that will allow you to take ECGs.
The Apple Watch SE 2022 will take a big leap from its predecessor, although it will retain the same design
If these changes happen, this new generation of Apple Watch SE would be a great incentive to renew an old model and also attract new users to the product. Screen always on as well as ECG, have become good claims for the Apple Watch. And with these changes, as well as its contained price, we would be facing a successful candidate.
The rumors almost completely rule out the inclusion of other sensors, such as oxygen (that would differentiate it even less from the higher models, even though it is said that the Apple Watch Series 8 will bring a body temperature sensor). Although the bad news is that Apple plans to raise the price of this Apple Watch by $20 up to $299. In Europe this could mean around 20 or 30 dollars more on the final price.
