My Apple Watch SE

For years I refused to wear a watch because TIME AIN’T THE BOSS OF ME.

Then — in 2017 — I saw James make phone calls and answer business texts while drinking wine, soaking in a rooftop hot tub — on his Apple Watch.

I was sold.

I’m now addicted.

I’ve had several over the years. Currently the less expensive Apple Watch SE (3rd Gen, 2025).

My Apple Watch Most Valuable Features 2026

  • Quickly check the time
  • Camera Remote
  • Find my phone
  • Compass
  • Navigation (AllTrails, etc.)

I like the Modular watch face with Camera Remote, Compass, Weather as complications.

There are many other features I use occasionally, but not often.

I control audio with EarPods, not the watch.

Cost was CAD $329 from Apple Canada. That’s with the GPS only, 40mm Midnight Aluminium Case with Midnight Sport Band. Second generation.

From the Apple Store on Amazon.ca it was CAD $280.

The local BestBuy store was $280, as well, where I picked mine up. In stock.
