Key Points:
- Even without cellular, the non-cellular Apple Watch SE covers 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—great for casual outdoor runs.

Workout Example:

- Run: 14-minute outdoor run in NYC (about 1.48 mi). Target a pace around 9:44 min/mi (feel free to 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.
