Apple today announced that the highly anticipated Apple Watch SE 3 is now available for pre-order in Malaysia, bringing a host of upgrades at an attractive price. Featuring advanced health tracking, a durable Always-On display, fast charging, and 5G supportโall powered by the new S10 chipโthe SE 3 aims to provide users more value while staying connected, fit, and safe.
The S10 chip enables an Always-On display while maintaining the SE lineโs ergonomics. The front glass, made of strengthened Ion-X, offers improved crack resistance. Despite the display upgrade, the SE 3 still offers 18 hours of battery life, with fast charging delivering up to 8 hours of power in just 15 minutes. For the first time in the SE series, the device supports 5G cellular, enhancing data performance while preserving battery efficiency. Users can now make calls, stream music, and access apps even when away from their iPhone.
The Apple Watch SE 3 delivers new health insights, including sleep score, wrist temperature sensing, retrospective ovulation estimates, and sleep apnea notifications. These add to existing health tools such as heart health alerts, Cycle Tracking, Vitals app, and safety features like Fall Detection, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS, and Check In. With watchOS 26, fitness gets a boost through Workout Buddy, powered by Apple Intelligence for real-time voice guidance tailored to individual workout profiles. The Workout app is revamped for greater customization, and Apple Music now intelligently suggests playlists to match exercise routines.
The S10 chip also powers one-handed controls like double-tap and wrist flick gestures. Enhanced Siri operates on-device for faster, more private responses, including accessing personal health data. Voice Isolation improves call clarity in noisy environments, and users can play music directly through the watchโs speaker. SE 3 supports Apple Watch for Your Kids, which allows parents to manage their childโs watch even without an iPhone. Kids get messaging, location tracking, Emergency SOS, and Apple Accounts for independence with peace of mind for parents.
watchOS 26 brings a refreshed Liquid Glass UI, new watch faces, Smart Stack hints, a Notes app, and Live Translation in Messages powered by Apple Intelligence. The device is available in 40mm and 44mm sizes in midnight and starlight aluminum cases, made with 40% recycled materials, including 100% recycled cobalt in the battery and 100% recycled aluminum in the case.
The Apple Watch SE 3 retails from RM1049 in Malaysia with no availability dates mentioned by Apple.
