Apple Watch SE may feature ‘unapologetically plastic’ chassis to lower costs

Apple Watch SE delivers the core Apple Watch experience at a more affordable price point, offering everything from Activity tracking to Emergency SOS.

Apple’s next-gen Apple Watch SE may feature and “unapologetically plastic” chassis meant to lower the retail price and reach even more users, especially in third world countries.

Charles Martin for AppleInsider:

This future Apple Watch SE might switch to an all-plastic housing to cut costs, reports Bloomberg. The device retails for $249, some $50 higher than Samsung’s similar low-cost smartwatch.

The current SE model adopted a redesigned back case that changed to a color-matched “nylon composite” plastic material in 2022. If true, this report would see the entire chassis of the Apple Watch SE changed — making the device less environmentally friendly.
