here's a good comparison chart for those deciding between se 2 and series 8
main diff
always-on vs not
slightly larger display area (352x430 pixels 904 sq mm vs 324x394 pixels 759 sq) for 40mm vs 41mm
third gen optical heart vs 2nd gen
blood oxygen sensor
electric heart sensor
temperature sensing
u1 chip
cpu chip seems same (S8 Sip)
I think the Series 8 is worth the extra few dollars for the always on display if you can get it for the price it was on sale for recently at Target ($225 for 41nm).

Pulled the trigger, thanks OP. I haven't had an AW since the very first one. I found it pretty useless back then and sold it, so let's hope I have a better experience now!
How much of a difference between Watch SE vs Watch 8?
Same CPU
"Both the Apple Watch SE and the Apple Watch Series 8 feature the S8 chip, Crash Detection, water resistance, an optical heart sensor, up to 18 hours of battery life, and more, but there are significant differences between the two devices." https://www.macrumors.com/guide/a...abilities.
Unless you want the high end medical capabilities (ECG), then you're probably better off saving $s on the SE
Does this support cellular (LTE)? I.e., can I make phone calls/receiving text without an iPhone? If it doesn't, what I should get to have that support?

I have an Apple Watch S3 and whenever I upgrade it will only be to one with an always-on display.

In for 2.
Now i have to return others to Best buy
edit - I guess the 41mm band works for this...
