On the other hand, Apple Watch SE is the best choice if you want to have great features at a reasonable price since it has a faster processor compared to Series 3. Aside from its S5 chip, it also offers a brighter screen, fall detection, louder speaker, and longer battery life. But, it still falls short compared to Apple Watch Series 6 since it doesn't have extra health features and an always-on capability.

To put this into a simple idea, if you have the budget and want the best features and design, the best one to choose is the latest model, which is the Apple Watch Series 6.
