It’s just okay

JoiW . 7 days ago

It’s a brand new Apple Watch 11 with a battery that lasts a day. The functions are good. I like the exercise features. I will give it more time. I just miss the days when your battery would last 2-3 days before you needed to charge it.

Problem with numbershare activation

Mark . 8 days ago

S11 Watch is fine but I was not able to make numbershare work. Multiple hours on the phone with Verizon CS. A rep even incorrectly told me that it only works when phone is nearby like via Bluetooth. Eventually went to the Verizon store and they had to do a return and reprovision before numbershare works. Frustrating experience with Verizon CS overall.

Great Watch..

Great Watch.. Everything You Need and More

Horrible

Cassie . 9 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I brought the watch online just to have to double pay and buy it again because it took three days for the store to receive it . When they got it then they sent me notification and emails saying it was ready then 2 hours later saying it was canceled due to non pickup . I have to spend extra money to get the same watch that was initially shipped there for me. Crazy work

FAQs

Apple Watch SE 3 FAQs

John . Oct 22, 2025

Can the Apple Watch Ultra 3 check your blood pressure?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support8 hours

No, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 does not directly check blood pressure like a cuff. Instead, it uses an optical sensor to analyze patterns of blood vessel response and provides notifications for potential chronic high blood pressure (hypertension) after 30 days of monitoring, once FDA clearance is received. This feature is for hypertension notification, not for on-demand, real-time blood pressure readings, and it recommends users follow up with a third-party cuff for confirmation -Anthony

Judy . Oct 19, 2025

Can I download an app to track blood oxygen readings on this watch?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support3 days

No, the Apple Watch SE is not able to measure blood oxygen levels because it lacks the necessary hardware sensor. The Blood Oxygen app is compatible only with Apple Watch Series 6 or later and all Apple Watch Ultra models. SE models lack the sensor: The Apple Watch SE does not have the hardware required to perform blood oxygen readings, and this functionality cannot be added through an app. Compatible models: The feature is supported by Apple Watch Series 6 and newer, and all models of the Apple Watch Ultra. App availability: The "Blood Oxygen" app itself is available on the App Store, but it will not function on your Apple Watch SE. For general wellness: The Apple Watch's blood oxygen feature is intended for general fitness and wellness purposes, not for medical use. ~Jorge

It seems to be water proof, but for how long and depth?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support14 days

Water Resistance Features Water Lock: When you start a water-based workout, like swimming, your Apple Watch automatically locks the screen to prevent accidental taps. Ejecting Water: After finishing an activity, press and hold the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear any water from the speaker. Depth Gauge: The Series 11 includes a depth gauge and Depth app for tracking snorkeling down to 6 meters. IP6X Rating: The watch is also fully protected against dust. ~Jorge
