Apple Set to Revamp Watch SE with Plastic Casing

New design aims to reduce costs and compete with Samsung's budget-friendly Galaxy Watch FE.

Apple is testing a plastic casing for the next-generation Watch SE, replacing the current aluminum shell.
The move could lower the price of the Watch SE, which currently starts at $249, closer to Samsung's $199 Galaxy Watch FE.
The new material choice is part of Apple's strategy to make the Watch SE more affordable without altering its design or features.
There is no confirmed release date for the updated Watch SE.
The plastic casing could impact perceptions of the Watch SE's durability compared to its aluminum predecessor.
