I am looking to get an Apple Watch and I can’t decide whether or not to get the series 8 (or lower) vs the 9. The older series are much cheaper but the series 9 with the finger tap looks super cool, and I like that it’s much brighter. I was wondering what this sub would think.

I know I’ll use it a lot regardless of which version I get. The series 9 features are just tempting to me.

    I never had a smartwatch before. Got myself an ultra2. Just for size and design. My wife has the series 9 in 45mm. Also first smartwatch.

    I was a bit hesitant but after a while I started loving it. It’s almost essential now.

    It’s not that much brighter after time you won’t notice a thing. I think as a first one and if you want to save money buy series 7 used. They are sooooo cheap now and still plenty of life in them and exactly the same functionality except double touch and temperature sensor that’s it. Don’t go lower as it’s not the best for battery life,was memory, problems with updates and slow charging. I’m using series 7 fine refuse to upgrade as there is no difference for me to spend money on the same thing it just doesn’t make a sense. The whole watch even looks the same …. I was so hyped for event and now do disappointed

    The se is 109 dollars. I’d start there and if you like it, upgrade in a few years.

    I have the S4 which is now dying and no option to service the battery where I live so I’m upgrading to the S9 soon. Besides the speed, the only new thing I’m looking forward to is the larger screen. I will mostly keep AOD off. So I guess it doesn’t matter if I go for the S8 but I aim to keep my watch for at least 5 years hence getting the latest.
