Apple Watch SE 3 is Suddenly Unavailable

by

Nearly all configurations of the Apple Watch SE 3 are suddenly "unavailable" on Apple's online store in the U.S. and other countries we checked, for reasons unknown.

Apple Watch SE 3 1
Apple is holding an event this Wednesday to announce new iPhones and Apple Watches, but an Apple Watch SE 4 was not expected tomorrow, as new generations of the Apple Watch SE have never been released in back-to-back years. The original Apple Watch SE debuted in September 2020, the Apple Watch SE 2 arrived in September 2022, and the Apple Watch SE 3 was announced in September 2025.

Is this a sign that an Apple Watch SE 4 will be announced tomorrow after all, or is this simply a temporary issue that will be resolved soon? We shall see.

Thanks, Logan!

It's just straps being out of stock/about to be replaced. Configure it with the Pride or Black Unity Sport Loop bands that nobody buys and they're suddenly available again.

All carryover products including iPhone 17/17e are out of stock at Apple Stores. SE3 isn’t getting refreshed tomorrow but the price probably is. Pretty sure Apple is preparing for a price increase on new inventory.

Whatever you do, do not buy the SE 3 if it comes back.
It will drop support at the same time as the Series 9, 10 and 11.

And you saw how Apple treated the Series 6, 7, and 8.

Just kidding...they shouldn't even offer an SE version anyway.
Gotta get the next gen of buyers (kids) hooked early on the ecosystem. It’s the same reason the low-cost iPad exists.
