Intro
This is a quick rundown of I Replaced my iPhone with an Apple Watch SE from Shervin Shares. The highlights are below so you can try it on your next workout. Watch the full video for all the details.
Key points
- Even without cellular, the non-cellular Apple Watch SE handles Apple Pay, offline music, and GPS navigation (as long as you’ve pre-loaded your route).
- Runners get heart-rate zone tracking, auto-pause when you stop, and an easy-to-read display. Good for casual outdoor runs.
- Connecting a chest-strap HR monitor gives you the most accurate heart-rate readings.
- The Wristcam accessory lets you record your run or take video calls straight from your wrist, no phone required.
Workout example
- Warm-up: 2 minutes of easy jogging to let the watch calibrate.
- Run: 14-minute outdoor run in NYC (about 1.48 mi). Target a pace around 9:44 min/mi (adjust based on your fitness level).
- Features to try:
- Auto-pause: the watch stops the timer automatically when you hit a light or come to a halt.
- Heart-rate zones: keep zone 1 for relaxed effort, zone 2 for moderate intensity. Glance at the display to check where you are.
- Split button: double-tap to mark a split whenever you want.
- Cool-down: 2-minute walk, then hit “End Workout”.
