Unlike the iPhone SE, the watch SE is not a hampered product. It just lacks some functionality many don’t need. Always on is something I turn off anyway, and not everyone needs the health functions. We have a cellular watch SE for our son so he has a safety net because he is disabled. Just need to able to locate him, set alarms, call in/out in an emergency.
Yep. This is a great watch for kids or a home who needs a communication device but isn’t ready for or able to manage a smartphone. We use the Apple Watch SE2 for our daughter and it’s a wonderful solution. We use parental controls to lock down who she can communicate with and when but this way she can always get in touch with us in a pinch.
 
I’ll be buying my daughter the SE3 next year, unless I can get a S9 for a great price. She don’t need all the bells and whistles.
