In a bold move sure to redefine the boundaries of impulsive electronics purchasing, Amazon and Apple have slashed the price of the Apple Watch SE 3 to a record-low $199 for Prime Day—prompting millions of Americans to finally track their wrist temperatures for reasons they can’t explain.
The “sleeper hit” of last year’s Apple Watches, the SE 3 boasts an always-on display, a wrist-temperature sensor, 5G connectivity, and powerful new features including ‘double tap’ and ‘wrist flick’—the latter of which scientific experts confirm is “completely indistinguishable from a regular wrist flick.”
“I have no idea what my wrist’s temperature should be, but now I’ll know every second until I lose the charger,” said Brittany Klein, a raw juice influencer who previously monitored her hydration with a classic Swatch. “And if I ever need to fast-charge my emotions, the SE 3’s got me covered!”
Apple spokesperson Chad Withers clarified, “We recommend this watch for anyone with a wrist. And if you want to detect atrial fibrillation or just hate slightly thicker bezels, our Series 11 is only $279—so you can fear missing out sustainably.”
Sources report that users have already set up daily reminders to ignore their biometric notifications. “I got it so I’d walk more,” said Devon McAllister, who averaged 40 steps yesterday. “But now I get to ignore my own body at record speed. Worth every penny.”
Experts predict next year’s $189 SE 4 will add a ‘self-reminder to breathe’ and feature bezels thin enough to slice prosciutto.
