Intro: This is a quick summary of I Replaced my iPhone with an Apple Watch SE from Shervin Shares. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

  • The non‑cellular Apple Watch SE can still handle Apple Pay, music offline, and GPS navigation after you’ve pre‑loaded a map.
  • For runners, the SE offers heart‑rate zone tracking, auto‑pause at stops, and a glance‑able screen—perfect for quick outdoor runs.
  • Pair the watch with a chest‑strap HR monitor for the most accurate heart‑rate data.
  • Use the Wristcam accessory to capture run footage or video calls without a phone.

Workout Example:

  • Warm‑up: 2‑minute easy jog to get the watch ready.
  • Run: 14‑minute outdoor run in NYC (≈1.48 mi). Aim for an average pace of about 9:44 min/mi (or adjust to your own pace).
  • Features to use:
    • Auto‑pause – the watch automatically stops timing at red lights or when you stop.
    • Heart‑rate zones – stay in Zone 1 for easy effort, Zone 2 for moderate effort; watch your zone on the screen.
    • Split button – double‑tap the screen to log a split at any point.
  • Cool‑down: 2‑minute walk, then tap End Workout.

Closing Note: Give the Apple Watch SE a spin on your next run—customise the distance and pace in the Pacing app to fit your goals, and enjoy the freedom of a phone‑free workout. Have fun, and don’t forget to watch the full Shervin Shares video for more tips!
