Hello I am interest in getting the series 3 LTE but I have the iphone SE. Will the iWatch work with the iphone SE? And is the phone pairing is primary to push app? Am I able to download app directly from the watch?

The Apple Watch Series 3 requires an iPhone 6 or later running iOS 11. Which means it will work with an iPhone SE as long as its updated to iOS 11.

That's the same thing we all read which sort of begs the question. iPhone SE is later than the iPhone 6 ? I looked at the chips and it seems to be the same chip as the 6. I asked @applesupport and they came back with " compatible with the 5s as long as updated to iOS 11" They are fixated on iOS 11 over there in twitterville ignoring the cellular part of my question. My point is I am ordering the SE because of the Watch series 3 which I also ordered. I was perfectly happy with my 5s until the new watch.
