I recently acquired the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) with the Starlight Aluminum Case and Starlight Sport Band, and I must say it has been a game-changer for me. As a graduate student pursuing a master's in computer science at the University of Florida and a research assistant at the Learn Dialogue Lab, I needed a smartwatch that could seamlessly integrate into my active lifestyle, help me stay on top of my health, and even assist in my research tasks. The Apple Watch SE has exceeded my expectations in all these aspects.One of the standout features for me is the fitness and sleep tracking capabilities. With my busy schedule, it's crucial to keep tabs on my physical activity and sleep patterns. The Apple Watch SE does an excellent job of tracking my steps, calories burned, and even encourages me to move when I've been sitting for too long. The sleep tracking feature has been a revelation, providing insights into the quality of my sleep and helping me make adjustments for better rest.Being a tech enthusiast and someone deeply involved in the IT sector, I appreciate the crash detection and heart rate monitoring functions. Safety is paramount, and the watch's ability to detect a potential fall and initiate an emergency call is a reassuring feature, especially when I'm out traveling or in the middle of a research project. The heart rate monitor keeps me informed about my cardiovascular health during workouts and daily activities.As someone who loves teaching and mentoring, the Apple Watch SE also helps me manage my busy schedule. The calendar notifications and reminders keep me on track for meetings with my mentees and colleagues at the lab, which is essential for our collaborative projects, such as "Collaborative sports," "Amby: Language model for middle schoolers," and "Integrate AI."Moreover, the watch seamlessly integrates with my iPhone, allowing me to respond to messages, emails, and calls without taking out my phone, which is incredibly convenient during our frequent lab meetings and while I'm on the go.In conclusion, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) has become an indispensable part of my daily life. Its fitness and health-tracking features, coupled with its integration into my professional and academic activities, make it a must-have for anyone in the IT sector aiming to be a leader in future IT solutions. Whether I'm teaching React JS or exploring new states in the USA, this smartwatch has proven to be a reliable companion. Highly recommended!

It came dead, but it's a wonderful watch! The display is big enough for me, and I'm excited to use it. There are no scratches, and it's basically like new! The battery health was at 100% as well. It's a beautiful color and came with a light gray sports band! I absolutely recommend it!

Watch was perfect. Maybe one of the best Apple Watches I have owned. Looks so good and the features are endless. I can see my home camera from this! It is also so comfortable and durable. Charges fast and function with my phone SO WELL. This is your sign to buy this watch.

I am loving this watch, I’m so glad I went with this one and saved the money I would have spent get the EKG included in the series 8 or 9. My cardiologist said it’s not reliable anyways, so I’m glad I asked her first.Pros- It is very fast and hasn’t missed a call or notification yet.There are tons of features included as well that I love!Also, for those people missing the group challenges that Fitbit got rid of, Apple Watches have group challenges 🙌🏼 my whole family was missing those and once I told them the Apple Watches have groups and other fun things like the walkie talkie feature lol, they all ordered one too!!Negative- I will say that the battery life on these do not compare to the Fitbit watches. My Sense battery lasted 3 days! This watch barely lasts 24 hours 😭And it’s even harder to track my sleep since I end up having to plug it in so it’s ready to go when I wake up.TLDR- love it so much my whole family ordered them too lol. The battery is disappointing compared to Fitbit. But still worth it!! 4.5 ⭐️

Love this watch and its many functions. Don’t regret it! The battery lasts very long and the charges very fast. They screen is very durable but does occasionally get a little scratched. Super compatable with any other apple device.

Nice watch however I’m still trying to figure some things out. I had a Fitbit versa 2 prior to this Apple Watch.Seems like my text messages are not received by my phone. Maybe I need a new iPhone I’m still using my old 11. And the battery life does dwindle quick. Otherwise it’s a super cute watch and has many options. I did talk on it and was able to answer my phone on the watch and the sound was awesome. 😎

I have had this watch for a year now and it has been amazing! It was very easy to set up and I’ve used this everyday since. I use this to track my workouts and it comes in handy when multitasking. It’s a good size, the battery life is great, and I love the simple look of it. I’m unsure of how durable the screen itself is because I keep a screen protector on mine.

This band is just like the Apple but at a MUCH lower price. It's flexible, washable and very comfortable.
