您是否(Are)在购买Apple Watch SE 第一(Apple Watch SE 1st)代(Gen)和Apple Watch SE 第二(Apple Watch SE 2nd)代(Gen)之间犹豫不决？由于两者之间存在一些差异，如果您对所有可用的功能和选项感到不知所措，这是可以理解的。在本文中，我们将从上到下探索这两款手表，详细介绍它们的独特之处，并帮助确定哪款手表更适合您的需求。
2代值得升级吗？哪些发生了变化，哪些保持不变？对于某些用户来说，知道Apple Watch SE 2配备了最新的芯片组就足够了，该芯片组与昂贵但受欢迎的Apple Watch Series 8和Apple Watch Ultra相同。尽管第二代(Gen 2)带来了一些新功能，但您必须问问自己它们是否有用。
因此，无论您是在寻找能够在锻炼过程中监测心率(monitoring your heart rate)的产品，还是只需要一些出色的手机管理功能，我们都会帮助您确定哪种Apple Watch 型号( Apple Watch model)适合您。

下表列出了Apple Watch SE 1和Apple Watch Se 2的所有关键规格，以便于比较。
苹果(Apple)声称 S8 芯片带来的20% 性能提升对于Apple Watch(Apple Watches)来说微不足道。不过，这仍然是一个优势。更新意味着当最新版本的WatchOS(WatchOS)发布时，它更具面向未来的能力。您可以更新软件，而不必担心降低 Apple 智能手表的速度。
电池(Battery)寿命保持不变。苹果声称(Apple)SE 1和SE 2以及更昂贵的Apple Watch Series 8 的续航(Apple Watch Series 8)时间为 18 小时。实际上，电池寿命取决于您使用手表的方式。如果您依赖GPS 和其他跟踪功能，(GPS and other tracing features)则预计它的使用寿命会缩短。关闭GPS和Wi-Fi设置，您的Apple Watch SE 2甚至可以在不充电的情况下使用两天。
不过，第一代 SE 并不支持快速充电。遗憾的是第二代也不支持它，特别是在技术规范允许的情况下。但最新的 WatchOS 9 应该可以让Apple Watch SE 2更有效地使用电池，尤其是在低功耗模式下。
健身与健康功能
Apple Watch SE 2仍然依靠旧的光学传感器进行心率监测。尽管如此，它仍然足以检测心率过高、过低或不规则等异常情况。当检测到这些异常时，您还会收到通知。然而，两代 SE 都缺少S8 和Apple Watch Ultra中提供的(Apple Watch Ultra)血氧传感器(blood oxygen sensor)。但您应该知道，所有智能手表都没有可靠的心脏监测传感器，如果收到此类通知，您不应该惊慌。
至于睡眠跟踪功能，Apple Watch SE 第一(Apple Watch SE 1st)代(Gen)是第一款实现该功能的智能手表。用户非常喜欢它，因此它包含在SE 第二(SE 2nd)代(Gen.)中。您还可以在锻炼应用程序中使用各种运动追踪器。这包括游泳或休闲潜水等水上运动。这就是Apple Watch SE和SE 2防水深度达 50 米的原因。此外，您还可以使用Apple SE 2的数字表冠(Digital Crown)在您最喜爱的锻炼活动之间进行切换。
Apple Watch SE 2(Apple Watch SE 2)拥有一些其前身所没有的独特功能。即碰撞检测、Apple Pay for NFC和家庭设置(Family Setup)。这些新功能使Apple Watch SE 第二(Apple Watch SE 2nd)代成为新的焦点，尤其是当您担心家人的安全时。
碰撞检测功能由新型高 g 加速度计芯片控制。苹果(Apple)通常会为其顶级设备保留此类功能，但这一功能却出现在Apple Watch SE 2上。此功能使用运动传感器和先进的算法来检测严重的车祸。当发生此类车祸时，如果您在 10 秒内没有响应，
Apple Watch SE 2会检查您并拨打紧急电话。(Apple Watch SE 2)
软件和更新
Apple Watch SE 2(Apple Watch SE 2)预装了最新的 WatchOS 9。该软件也适用于较旧的型号，包括Apple Watch SE Gen 1，但由于硬件过时，它们运行起来不太顺畅。
如果您已经自豪地拥有第一代 Apple Watch SE(Apple Watch SE 1st)，那么可能没有足够的理由升级到第二代。但如果您认为您会受益于新功能和稍快的性能，请继续升级。请记住(Remember)，SE 2与其前身具有相同的电池寿命、使用寿命和耐用性。它还缺乏Apple Watch Ultra(Apple Watch Ultra)和Apple Watch Series 8中提供的一些新功能，例如快速充电、高级跟踪功能和附加传感器，因此您可能想升级到这些型号。
Apple Watch SE 1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen: What’s Different and Which Should You Buy?
Are you torn bеtween рurchаsing аn Apple Watch SE 1ѕt Gen and the Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen? With several differences between thе two, it’s understandable if you feel overwhelmed by all of the features and options available. In this article, we’ll explore both watсhes from top tо bottom, providing a detailed breаkdown of what setѕ them apart and helping determine which watch will better suit your needs.
Is the 2nd generation worth the upgrade? What changed, and what stayed the same? For some users, it’s enough to know that Apple Watch SE 2 is equipped with the latest chipset, the same one that powers the pricey but popular Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra. And although Gen 2 brings some new features, you’ll have to ask yourself if they are useful.
So whether you’re looking for something capable of monitoring your heart rate during a workout session or just need a few spectacular phone management capabilities, we’ll help you decide which Apple Watch model is right for you.

The only major difference when it comes to specs is in the chipset. Apple Watch SE 1st Generation has an old S5 system, first released in the Apple Watch Series 5. The Second generation SE boasts the newest S8 SiP, a dual-core chipset with a 7nm manufacturing process.
Apple claims this new chip is 20% faster, but is that even that impressive? After all, it’s been three years since SE 1st gen was released. That’s because S8, S7, and S6 chips have the same CPU, and the 20% speed difference is not nearly as noticeable as in the iPhone 14 compared to iPhone 11.
The only other difference is the change from Bluetooth 5.0 to Bluetooth 5.3.
Design
Apple is known for not experimenting with its devices’ designs too much. There’s practically no visual difference between Apple Watch SE and SE 2. Both versions allow you to choose between two display sizes: 40mm and 44mm. And they both come with rounded corners on their slim bezels.
The material for the casing is the same aluminum that makes Apple watches sturdy and robust. However, the back of the watch is different. While SE 1 uses ceramic, SE 2 switched to a nylon composite and sapphire crystal back. The SE 2 gets the advantage here. Although the materials feel the same, the matching back color of the Apple Watch SE 2 makes it more stylish.
Regarding looks, the only real difference between the two models is in their available colors. The SE 1 version comes in silver, gold, and space gray, while SE 2 is available in silver, starlight, and midnight colors.
Performance
The 20% faster performance Apple claims the S8 chip brings is negligible for Apple Watches. However, it’s still an advantage. Being newer means it’s more future-proof when the latest versions of WatchOS arrive. You can update the software without worrying about slowing down your Apple smartwatch.
Battery life remains the same. Apple claims it’s 18 hours for SE 1 and SE 2 and the more expensive Apple Watch Series 8. In reality, the battery life will depend on how you use your watch. You can expect it to last less if you rely on GPS and other tracing features. Turn off GPS and Wi-Fi settings, and your Apple Watch SE 2 might even last two days without charging.
Nevertheless, the first SE generation didn’t support fast charging. It’s a shame the second generation doesn’t support it also, especially since the technical specifications allow it. But the newest WatchOS 9 should allow Apple Watch SE 2 to use its battery more efficiently, especially with the low-power mode.
Fitness and Health Features
Apple Watch SE 2 still relies on the old optical sensor for heart rate monitoring. Still, it’s good enough in detecting abnormalities such as high, low, or irregular heartbeat. You’ll also get a notification when these abnormalities are detected. However, both SE generations lack the blood oxygen sensor available in the S8 and Apple Watch Ultra. But you should know that none of the smartwatches has a reliable heart monitoring sensor, and you shouldn’t panic if you receive such a notification.
As for the sleep tracking feature, the Apple Watch SE 1st Gen was the first smartwatch to implement it. The users loved it so much that it was included with the SE 2nd Gen. You’ll also have various sports trackers with the workout app. This includes water sports such as swimming or casual diving. That’s why both Apple Watch SE and SE 2 are water resistant up to 50 meters deep. Also, you can use the Digital Crown of Apple SE 2 to swap between your favorite workout activities.
That’s not all. With WatchOS 9 came the new Medications app that helps you track your daily intake of meds, supplements, and vitamins. But it will also send reminders to take your meds on time. This app has all the data synced to the iPhone’s Apple Health app.
Although the two Apple Watch SE versions have the same sensors, such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, always-on altimeter, and compass, SE 2 has a gyroscope and accelerometer updated to newer versions. However, the Always-on display feature is not available on either of these Apple Watch models.
Other Special Features
The Apple Watch SE 2 has some unique features unavailable to its predecessor. Namely the crash detection, Apple Pay for NFC, and Family Setup. These new features put Apple Watch SE 2nd generation into a new spotlight, especially if you’re concerned about your family’s safety.
The Family Setup feature lets you manage the devices of your family members. You’ll always know the exact location of your children or a family member who requires supervision. You can also monitor their messages and calls even if they are not using an iPhone.
The crash detection feature is controlled by the new high-g accelerometer chip. Apple typically reserves such features for their top-tier devices, but this one landed on Apple Watch SE 2. This feature uses motion sensors and advanced algorithms to detect severe car crashes. When one such car crash happens, expect your Apple Watch SE 2 to check in on you and dial emergency if you don’t respond within 10 seconds.
Software and Updates
The Apple Watch SE 2 has the latest WatchOS 9 preinstalled. This software is available for older models too, including Apple Watch SE Gen 1, but they won’t run it quite as smoothly due to the outdated hardware.
The WatchOS has new watch faces, Focus Mode, and a redesigned compass app. If you are outdoorsy, you’ll especially love the new compass design, as it now allows you to set waypoints and backtrack your hiking/cycling routes. It’s especially great for trails when you don’t have network access.
Price and Availability
The starting price of the Apple Watch SE 2 is $249 for the 40mm GPS model and $279 for the 44mm model. But if you add cellular connectivity, the price will go up. The SE 2 will cost you $299 and $329. The LTE models of the SE 1 are priced at $329 and $359.
Should You Upgrade?
If you’re already a proud owner of an Apple Watch SE 1st generation, there might not be enough reason to upgrade to the 2nd generation. But if you think you’ll benefit from the new features and slightly faster performance, go ahead with the upgrade. Remember that the SE 2 has the same battery life, longevity, and durability as its predecessor. It also lacks some of the newer features available in the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Series 8, such as fast charging, advanced tracking features, and additional sensors, so you might want to upgrade to those models instead.
If you don’t have a smartwatch at all or if you’re switching to the Apple Watch from some other brand, the SE 2 is a smart and budget-friendly choice.
