This year, I have decided to go with the Apple Watch SE 3. The morning I put on the Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm), I thought I was just going to test its workout features. I didn’t expect it to slip so seamlessly into the rhythm of my day.
It’s so light you can almost forget it’s there. When the display lights up, it feels like a quiet reminder—“this moment belongs to you.”
A Workout Partner That Knows Your Pace
Switching between Workout modes is smooth and intuitive—running, elliptical, swimming… it covers almost every activity I can think of.
At the gym, I set it to Elliptical, and it tracks my heart rate, duration, and calories with precision. Every detail updates in real time on my wrist.
I also tried the Swim mode. The moment I dipped my hand into the water and saw the screen shining beneath, I realised water resistance isn’t just a number—it’s a sense of freedom. When water splashes, the screen automatically locks; a gentle turn of the crown unlocks it afterwards.
Recognises swim strokes, counts laps, and even keeps up with heart rate changes—all effortlessly.
Let It Take the Shot for You
One of my favourite features is the ability to remotely control the iPhone camera. Just lift your wrist, preview the frame, and tap to capture.
For someone who often shoots content alone, it’s a game-changer. No more tripods, no more countdowns—just a subtle wrist movement and the moment is frozen.
Always-On: Time at a Glance
The Always-On display is one of my favourites. No need to raise your wrist or tap the screen—time and status are always quietly visible.
The brightness is perfectly calibrated, soft enough for dim rooms yet clear enough to read instantly. In many ways, it feels like a metronome for daily life, keeping me effortlessly in sync with time.
From Night to Morning, It Keeps Watching Over You
At night, I wear it to bed. The Sleep tracking feature starts automatically once I fall asleep, recording deep, light, and awake phases through the night.
When I wake up, the data is already there—waiting on my wrist. That feeling of being quietly understood is oddly comforting. It knows when I drifted off, when I turned over, when I truly rested.
For someone who often works late into the night, seeing the message “You slept for 8 hours and 42 minutes” sometimes feels more honest than a simple “Good morning.”
Fast Charging, Smartly Designed
The Apple Watch SE 3 charges fast enough to keep up with me. A 15-minute charge gives around 8 hours of everyday use. An 8-minute charge is enough for a full night of sleep tracking. Even a few minutes of charging before heading out is plenty to last the day.
More Than Tracking, It’s a Quiet Companion
After a few days, I started to look forward to its gentle reminders: “Great step count today.” “Time to stand up.” “Take a deep breath.”
It’s not just about data—it’s about being gently nudged to move, breathe, and live. I once thought a smartwatch was simply an extension of a phone. But the Apple Watch SE 3 feels more like an extension of life itself.
It doesn’t interrupt, but it’s always there—quietly, naturally—keeping pace with every beat of your day.
Apple Watch SE 3 retails from SGD 329 at the Apple Store now.
Apple Watch SE 3：一块表，刚好跟上生活的节奏
戴上 Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm) 的那天早上，我原本只打算测试一下它的运动功能，却没想到，它很快就成了我一天的节奏。
它轻得几乎察觉不到存在，表盘亮起的那一瞬间，像是在提醒我——“现在是属于你自己的时间。”
运动时，它像个默契的搭档
运动模式 的切换很顺畅：跑步、椭圆机、游泳……几乎覆盖了我能想到的所有运动场景。在健身房时，我可以切换模式到“椭圆机”，手表会精准记录心率、时间、卡路里——所有数据都实时显示在腕上。
我还试了试 游泳模式。当我把手伸进水里看着表盘的那一刻，才意识到“防水”不只是数字，而是一种能让人无忧使用的自由感。
水花溅起时，手表会自动锁定屏幕，结束后轻轻一转表冠即可解锁。它能准确识别泳姿、记录圈数，甚至连心率变化都清晰追踪。
拍照，也能交给它
我很喜欢的一个功能是远程控制手机摄像头。举起手腕，就能预览画面、轻触拍摄。
对于常常一个人拍内容的我来说，这功能简直救命——再也不需要三脚架或倒计时，手腕一动，画面就定格。
Always-On：抬手，就能对上时间
常亮模式（Always-On） 是我最喜欢的设计之一。不需要抬手、不需要触碰，时间和状态就安静地浮在那儿。
亮度经过精确调校，在昏暗的健身房或卧室里都不会刺眼，却始终能一眼看清。很多时候，它更像是生活的节奏器，让我自然地跟上时间的步伐。
从入睡到清晨，它都在记录
晚上，我戴着手表躺在床上。睡眠检测 功能会在我入睡后自动启动，记录整晚的深睡、浅睡与醒来次数。
第二天早上醒来，数据就已经在手腕上。那种“被了解”的感觉有点奇妙——它比我更清楚我几点入睡、什么时候辗转、何时真正休息好。
对我这样常常工作到深夜的人来说，看到手表提醒我“昨晚睡了 8 小时 42 分钟”，有时候比一句“早安”更真实。
快速充电，足够聪明
Apple Watch SE 3 的快充速度也让人安心。充电 15 分钟，就能支持约 8 小时的日常使用；8 分钟的充电，足以支撑一整晚的睡眠追踪。即使在早晨出门前，只接上几分钟电，也能轻松撑过一天。
它不只是记录，更是一种陪伴
几天下来，我开始习惯看它的提醒：“今天的步数不错”、“该站一会儿了”、“现在是放松呼吸的时间”。
它不只是数据汇报，更像是温柔的提醒——去动、去呼吸、去生活。
我原本以为智能手表只是功能的延伸，但 Apple Watch SE 3 更像是一种生活的整合。它不会打断你，却始终在你身边，以一种恰到好处的方式，跟上你的每一个节奏。
Apple Watch SE 3 目前在 Apple Store 的零售价为 329 新加坡元起。
