At its "Awe Dropping" event last month, Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 lineup, AirPods Pro 3, and a couple of smartwatches. On top of it, we also got the Watch SE 3, which is Apple's most affordable smartwatch right now. It's now officially available in Nepal as well, so without any delay, let's dive into the features, specs, availability, and official price in Nepal of the Apple Watch SE 3.
Apple Watch SE 3 Overview:
Design and display
Starting with the design, the Watch SE 3 looks mostly similar to the last-gen Watch SE 2. It still comes in a square chassis with the digital crown and a side button on the right side of the frame.
The Watch SE 3 is available in 40 and 44mm sizes, made of 100% recycled aluminium, while also being water resistant up to 50 meters. But Apple is still skipping dust-resistant properties from its most affordable smartwatch. And unlike the Watch SE 2, which was also available in a "Silver" finish, the Watch SE 3 only comes in "Midnight" and "Starlight" finishes.
That being said, Apple's new affordable smartwatch does bring a few upgrades in terms of the display. It still maxes out at 1,000 nits of brightness as before, but the Watch SE 3 now supports Always-on display. More importantly, Apple says its Ion-X glass is also 4x more crack-resistant than the Watch SE 2.
Performance
Likewise, we absolutely love that the Watch SE 3 is powered by the same S10 chip as the more expensive Apple Watches, too. Including the latest Watch Ultra 3 and the Watch Series 11.
The storage has been bumped from 32GB to 64GB as well, and the Watch SE 3 now supports 5G connectivity, double-tap gesture, and wrist flick gesture to dismiss notifications. It comes with Apple’s latest watchOS 26 software, which will also be available for the older Watch SE 2.

Battery
If you were expecting longer battery life with the Watch SE 3, you might be disappointed. Since it's rated to last up to 18 hours. Just like its predecessor.
But there are a few notable improvements, like a new Low Power Mode that can extend its life up to 32 hours, and fast charging ability to take the watch from 0 – 80% in 45 minutes. Whereas plugging it in for 15 minutes gives you 8 hours' worth of battery life too.
Health tracking and other features
In terms of health and fitness tracking, the Apple Watch SE 3 looks quite impressive. Even though Apple is keeping things like hypertension notifications, ECG, and blood oxygen (SpO2) measurement exclusive to its more expensive watches.
So the Watch SE 3 can now detect signs of sleep apnea and provide a "Sleep Score" based on your sleeping habits. While the addition of a temperature sensor means it also gets retrospective ovulation estimates. Likewise, it supports fall detection and crash detection like the Watch SE 2.
Other than this, this smartwatch can also help you stay motivated in your workouts with the new "Workout Buddy" feature. And for the first time in Apple's "SE" lineup of smartwatches, the Watch SE 3's speaker can do media playback too. In case you wanna listen to music or podcasts directly from the watch.
The official price of the Apple Watch SE 3 in Nepal is NPR 50,000 and NPR 56,000 for the 40mm and 44mm variants, respectively. And if you buy Watch SE 3 in Nepal from Apple-authorized stores, you will also get a 1-year international warranty.
