Thenew Apple Watch ultra has dual frequency GPS which is much more accurate. With my series 5, it always tracked my runs in squiggly lines since I live somewhere hilly with some tree cover. I would usually do an extra .25 to .5 miles to account for this if I had a specific run distance in mind for a training plan.
Assomeone who was on the fence about smart watches for years, it was a pleasant experience with the Apple Watch SE thus far. I hardly go anywhere without it! I was comparing it with I think the 6, but I settled for SE because. I don’t need an always on display. Don’t need the blood monitoring thingy.
Ikind of understand the difference, but maybe you have experience with it. I want to use my GPS apple watch for the gym, LA fitness. They offer free
Thecellular functionality is sort of useless with the Apple Watch unless you are out on a run and don't want to deal with the phone. With the AW Series 4, I did but the LTE version but never activated it. I also had the AW Series 3
Shortanswer: SE, N/A, Yes. More in-depth/longer response: I too was also thinking of getting an Apple Watch around a month ago as a brand new user. I didn’t know what it was going to be like, so I decided on the SE Nike version with Cellular. I chose the SE instead of the series 7 for a couple main reasons.
Testingconducted by Apple in August 2023 using preproduction Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular) paired with an iPhone; all devices tested with prerelease software, Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charging USB-C Cable (Model A2515) and Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter (Model A2305). Charge time varies with region, settings and environmental
Iswitch back and forth between Android and Apple. I always return back to Apple for the same reason, which is the Apple Watch. I have owned the LTE version and non-LTE versions of the Apple Watch and Android watch. I have never been without my phone. I tried the LTE option on the watches on several occasions but, found it not to be useful.
Ifyou don't absolutely need the cellular connectivity go for the non cellular version. Battery life better on non cell I think. Cellular is nice to have in a pinch. I will not buy a wifi only watch again. I was running one morning and I had to call 911 for someone.

Youcan stream music over cellular, but even that uses the battery quite fast, resulting in perhaps 4-5 hours of battery life instead of all day. I have used my watch for hikes in which the cellular and GPS were tracking my hike, but again, battery life was much shorter than just letting the watch connect to my iPhone by bluetooth.
AudioPlayback. If you are playing audio from your apple watch, there is a slight difference between the two versions. Both GPS only and cellular versions provide around 11 hours of audio playback when using internal apple watch storage. But, with Cellular, you get an option of playing up to 8 hours of audio playback by streaming
Series4 Cellular and Series 5 GPS are almost the same price. Series 5 has always on display, compass but rest of the hardware seems to be the same. Always On display is not a major pull for me because I am not looking forward to displaying my health stats in public. Cellular will let me leave my phone at home instead of being tethered to it.

Inmy experience specially with apple products, if you want some great battery life, you have to give away 1 big battery killer feature. Like for watches, the AOD or GPS. My iPad? Gave up cellular connection. iPhone? I go for the smaller screen (mini versions and the se) And that’s how my devices last a day with constant usage (mostly).
