<p>Announced at the Apple event today, the tech giant will be releasing a new model of the Apple Watch that&#8217;s targeted at consumers looking for a boost over the Series 3, but not as expensive as the new Series 6. </p>



<p>Priced at $279 retail, we predict sales in the $250 range over the next 12 months on the <a href="https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-se/" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Watch SE</a>.  However, if you are interested in picking up one at launch, both the Apple Watch SE and the Series 6 will be available for preorder today and in Apple Stores on September 18. </p>

<p>Regarding features, the Apple Watch SE uses the S5 system in chip, 2 times faster than Series 3. It includes the accelerometer, heart rate meter, compass, gyroscope, motion sensors, and fall detection. There&#8217;s also a cellular model, if you want that upgrade. </p>



<p>Beyond the Apple Watch SE, Apple also <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-6/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced the new Series 6 smartwatch</a> starting at $399. Apple has improved the display, making it 2.5 times brighter in the daylight. It can also show elevation in real time and has a blood oxygen monitor. Apple is debuting a new band for the watch called the Solo Loop, a stretchable silicone band without a clasp. </p>

<p>Both of the new Apple Watches now come with 3 months of <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.apple.com/apple-fitness-plus/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Fitness+</a>, a fitness subscription service that costs $10-a-month or $80-per-year. On the topic of subscriptions, Apple is launching the <a href="https://www.apple.com/apple-one/" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple One subscription service</a>. </p>



<p>For $15-per-month, individual users can get access to Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and iCloud. Family accounts cost $20-per-month for the same services (account sharing up to 5 people). There&#8217;s also a Premier tier at $30 per month that includes access to Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+. Apple is also announcing a 30-day free trial of Apple One later in the year, ideal if you want to test before you buy. </p>
