Just took this advice and copped a renewed Series 8 + cellular for $270 from Amazon. Got pretty lucky with the battery health. I was hoping for 85% or higher and to my surprise it was at 100%. I'm assuming someone just returned it because they didn't use it. After spending a good afternoon updating everything, excited to go on a 10k run with it later this evening.

I ended up going with the Series 8. I was able to order an aluminum 45mm Series 8 for 40% less than the equivalent Series 9 would be. While the 9 has a few interesting features I’m not seeing the value in paying a lot more since the health tracking sensors are the same. Also, there are rumors that Apple is trying to add glucose and or blood pressure monitoring to the Watch. Hopefully we’ll see one of those sensors on Series 10. I’m planning on trading in when we get a “real” upgrade to the health tracking so I’d rather go cheaper on this generation of health sensors.

@Adeyum64 Ай бұрын

Exactly this... some people really need to rethink their choices. Not that I'm against a Series 7/8/9... whatever. But it mostly profits those who really have health problems. Always-on is just some luxury thing, that also drains your battery faster. The watch turns on when you flick your wrist anyway, and that's the only time you'll look at your watch. Before spending so much on Series with smaller screen and GPS only, it would make more sense to spend the extra cash for a SE2 with bigger screen and cellular. If you need cellular, that is.

The comparison between 9 and SE 2 is partially misleading, as blood oxygen, double tap or period tracking are not at all unique to the 9. Apple watch 8 has all of this, so it seems it was mentioned specifically to elevate the 9 over the SE 2. No reason to buy the new Apple watch if you want to use any of those features.

If you prefer cellular, go with SE 2 or Ultra 2. SE2 is much more affordable than S9 with cellular function (+$50 for cellular function compared to +$100, already mentioned in the video). And the S series with cellular, the battery drains fast. SE does not have an always-on display, and I found SE has a better battery life compared to S. With a few hundreds more than S9+Cullular, Ultra has the ultimate battery, and the cellular is built-in and is sufficient for one day with heavy workouts and cellular usage. S9 is definitely not.
