The best Apple Watch in 2025

Apple ’s flagship Apple Watch Series 10 has robust fitness tracking and health monitoring, as well as helpful iPhone integrations.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 packs a few extra features and is geared towards serious athletes and outdoor adventurers.

The oldest model of the bunch is the budget Apple Watch SE from 2022 , which you can often find on sale for under $200 .

The Apple Watch SE still relies on the S8 SiP chip that was also used in the Series 8 and the original Ultra .

The screen isn’t quite as bright as the pricier models, but it's crisp and easy to read in bright sunlight.

The fitness tracking is accurate, the design is lightweight and comfortable and the processor is snappy.

A new plastic version is reportedly in the works, but for now, the SE is Apple 's budget option.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 sports the biggest battery and can last for a claimed 36 hours on a charge.

The SE and the Series 10 come in small/medium or medium/large and the Ultra 2 gives you the choice of small, medium or large.

All three models support the Activity and Workout apps for free.
