Q: Do you need an additional plan for the watch if you have an Apple iPhone and Verizon service? Also can someone at Target help you set up your watch once it’s purchased!

submitted by Shopperjes - 3 months ago
  • A: That this iPhone is unlocked ?

    submitted byAna - 1 month ago
  • A: What is the battery life when fully charged?

    submitted byAkila - 3 months ago
  • A: Yes, you have to add the device to your Verizon account for service (if you want to make calls directly from the watch.) A GPS only version is available if you do not need the cellular service.

    submitted byEdweird - 3 months ago
  • A: So from what I know is that the Watch shares a phone number with your iPhone and that sharing is 10 bucks a month. But that’s only if you want the watch to be a little more independent. If you just want the base gps model, you don’t need to pay for anything. As for the target question, it looks like you can reach out to the guest services and they’ll be able to help! I hope this was helpful! Have a nice day!

    submitted byAppleguy - 3 months ago
  • A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3. Yes, you will need to add a line of service for a cellular Apple Watch SE 3 to use its full features when away from your iPhone, which typically costs an additional $10 per month on Verizon. For help setting up please reach out to Target Guest Services at 1.800.440.0680 so see if the store can help setup. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: What is the difference between the SE and series 11 Apple Watch? Is it size? What size band size

submitted by Ann - 3 months ago
  • A: Will this watch pair with a IPhone 13?

    submitted byvivian - 29 days ago
  • A: The differences are health features that you will want to look at apple’s website for, battery life, screen size, and a find my precision finding feature. I have the series 11 and I will never look back. I absolutely love my series 11.

    submitted byAppleguy - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3. That is the perfect question to ask, as the difference between the Apple Watch SE and the main Series models is often about premium features and physical design. While they both share the new, fast S10 chip, the Series 11 is the flagship model that includes more advanced health sensors and a more refined construction. Band Compatibility Fortunately, Apple has maintained consistent band compatibility across these sizes: 40mm (SE 3) and 41mm/42mm (Series 11) watches all use the SMALLER band size. 44mm (SE 3) and 45mm/46mm (Series 11) watches all use the LARGER band size. This means a band you buy for a 44mm SE 3 will fit a 46mm Series 11, and vice-versa. Recommendation Choose the SE 3 if you want great performance, the Always-On Display, and most core features at a much lower price. Choose the Series 11 if you require the advanced health monitoring (ECG, Blood Oxygen, Hypertension), need the brightest screen for outdoor use, or prefer the thinner, more If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can this work without an iPhone

submitted by Terry - 6 months ago
  • A: If you get just the GPS watch without cellular, can you still text and make calls if you are near your phone?

    submitted byAkila - 3 months ago
  • A: You need a iphone to activate it. Once activated there’s a lot you can do without the iPhone, but you need to initially have an iPhone

    submitted byRich - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3 No, an Apple Watch SE (or any Apple Watch) cannot work without an iPhone because it requires an iPhone for initial setup, pairing, and management through the Watch app. After the initial setup, a GPS + Cellular Apple Watch can perform many functions without the iPhone nearby, such as making calls, sending texts, streaming music, and receiving notifications, but this requires a separate cellular plan for the watch. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: My son has a 16e cell phone. Will this watch work with that without paying an additional fee?

submitted by K - 3 months ago
  • A: Hi target guy, I’m not an expert on this stuff but I know this. There is an actual iPhone 16e released in 2025. This just shows that these “experts” are either ai or just really aren’t experts at all. I’m so sorry that you had to go through this. Yes this watch is compatible with the iPhone 16e and Idk what these target people are thinking but there are some people that actually care and want to help others and I feel that target needs to really understand these types of customers better. And to target I’m sorry to be like this but somebody has to step up and help these customers with answers that fit their needs. I’m just a normal person that wants to help people so I’m just trying to help people that actually don’t understand. Have a nice day!!!!!!!

    submitted byAppleguy - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3. This is a great question, and it involves two important factors: compatibility and cellular cost. In short: No, the iPhone SE (2016) is too old to be paired with the Apple Watch SE 3. You will need a much newer iPhone model. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: What is the difference between the Apple Watch SE and the regular watch?

submitted by Sharon - 6 months ago
  • A: SE Has. Lower battery life shorter screen brightness fewer heart sensors But if those are t things you need who cares

    submitted bySuperty - 6 months ago
  • A: Smaller. Has some less features that may or may not be missed by you. Check the Apple Watch page on apples site and see the comparison tab to see what each has and doesn’t have.

    submitted byCJ - 6 months ago

Q: Are the bands changeable?

submitted by Debra - 6 months ago
  • A: Yes the bands are changeable

    submitted bysara - 6 months ago
  • A: Yes, the bands are changeable. Bands that are designed for all of Apple's smaller watch sizes (38-42mm) will work with a 40mm Apple Watch SE 3, and any bands that are designed for Apple's bigger watches (43-46mm) will work for the 44mm Apple Watch SE 3. However, any of the bands intended for the Apple Watch Ultra will not work with any version of the Apple Watch SE 3 in any size.

submitted by Becca - 10 days ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3 GPS 40mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - S/M Without a cellular plan or a connected cellular device streaming would require an active wireless connection to the watch itself.

Q: Can I stream music from watch without the cellular plan?

submitted by Becca - 10 days ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3. The short answer is yes, but with conditions. Whether you can stream "live" or only play "downloaded" music depends on your internet connection at that moment. Since the Apple Watch SE 3 (released in late 2025) comes in both GPS and GPS+Cellular models, here is how it works without a cellular plan: 1. If your iPhone is nearby If your iPhone is with you (in your pocket or gym bag), your watch uses the phone’s data connection via Bluetooth. You can stream any music from Apple Music, Spotify, or Pandora exactly as if you had a cellular plan. 2. If you are on Wi-Fi The Apple Watch SE 3 can connect to known Wi-Fi networks (like at your home or gym) independently. If your watch is on Wi-Fi, you can stream music live even if your iPhone is miles away at home. 3. If you have no Phone and no Wi-Fi (The "Offline" Way) If you go for a run without your phone and you don't have a cellular plan, you cannot stream live. However, you can still listen to music by downloading it to the watch beforehand: Apple Music: You can sync playlists and albums directly to the watch's 64GB storage. Spotify: Requires a Spotify Premium subscription to download playlists for offline use. Storage: The SE 3 has plenty of space, so you can store thousands of songs for offline listening. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Does this apple watch answer calls and messages?

submitted by Gps - 17 days ago
  • A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Apple Watch SE 3. Yes, the Apple Watch SE 3 fully supports answering calls and sending messages directly from your wrist. When paired with an iPhone, you can take calls using the built-in speaker/microphone, reply to texts via dictation or keyboard, and receive notifications. The Cellular model allows this without your phone nearby. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Apple updated its requirements for the 2025/2026 hardware cycle. To use an Apple Watch SE 3, you must have an iPhone 11 or later.

Great deal on the SE 3

If it’s just a watch you are looking for without all the bells and whistles, then I think you should consider the SE 3. I’ve upgraded from a series three which still works great it no longer can receive updates that’s the only reason I decided to upgrade. I compared all three choices and seriously for the price the SE wins for all my needs in a watch. Check sleep apnea, your steps, all your energy score and then some. What a bargain.

Instead of a phone

We purchased this watch for my 11.5 yr old to have in place of a phone. It's great ... when it works. We pay for the cellular plan but the connection is always lost.

If guest services is going to check items for returns to make sure all parts are there. They should do it for EVERYONE. Whoever returned this watch, didn’t return the charger & now I have a watch with no charger & they won’t answer the phone or give me a charger!

Great update

I updated my Apple watch SE. It was very easy to switch over and not lose my streaks! Only issue is I should have purchased the S/M band instead of the M/L.

The “workout” feature was the only reason I upgraded. To my luck the new Apple Watch have a issue with tattoos on your wrist. It will keep pain the workouts. NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!

Thoughts

Love the larger face of the watch and it was easy to complete the transfer from the old watch. Absolutely HATE the band it didn't fit my large wrist - and I chose the large option. Had to order a band from Amazon.
