 - Bug in :func:`to_datetime` and :func:`to_timedelta` when trying to convert numeric data with a :class:`ArrowDtype` (:issue:`52425`)
 - Bug in :meth:`Series.describe` not returning :class:`ArrowDtype` with ``pyarrow.float64`` type with numeric data (:issue:`52427`)
 - Fixed segfault in :meth:`Series.to_numpy` with ``null[pyarrow]`` dtype (:issue:`52443`)
+- Bug in :func:`pandas.testing.assert_series_equal` where ``check_dtype=False`` would still raise for datetime or timedelta types with different resolutions (:issue:`52449`)
