You are trying to get strangers to justify your purchases (buyer’s remorse?). It doesn’t matter for us, if it works for you then great 👍

Apple Watch can do the same thing as the SE, there are different solutions to problems.

No. I’m just bringing up something I did to the community of iPhone users. Didn’t know there was anything wrong with that 😂 just decided to do it in a dumb tone since I know its a dumb idea.

Also, I had a watch and sold it cause besides tracking my fitness goals, I was just leaving it at home during the day.

It literally does what you want it to do here, work as an iPod. Even has 16-32GB of storage to keep music offline.

Have an 8 which is the same sort of size as that SE, and to be honest it’s still too big to keep in your pocket especially if you’re running. I end up holding mine in my hand if I’m using Strava.

The first gen SE that came before that though was a gem.

I’d rather just have an Apple Watch do those jobs and leave the phone behind or get a smaller phone that is both big enough when it needs to be and small enough that it isn’t “like a tablet” in my pocket. The 6.1” 14 Pro is the right size for me as I can use it one handed. I don’t have time to manage having 2 phones, trying to remember what information is on what phone. It seems foolish as once again an Apple Watch can do all of that.

I do get the benefits of having an apple watch (my fiancee loves hers), but for me this was more about leaving the big one behind when I’m in the gym. With apple ID, my messages and calls are recorded on either device anyways 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are some Garmin watches that hold music and stream to your Bluetooth headphones. And Garmins are dedicated fitness watches, so it could serve you well in that department.

I really like my Apple Watch for this. The app I use to guide my workouts also work on my watch so I can put it to the side and do my (gym) workouts and control my music. I think I can also download Spotify playlists to my watch and leave my phone at home (millennials and gen zs gasp)
