Deciding on what watch to get (alien.top)

Hi Everyone

I am in the process of getting a new apple watch and have stumbled upon two options: a second hand AW Ultra 1 for $879 (AUD) or a new Series 9 for $809. Is it worth it to spend the extra money on the Ultra or buy the Series 9? p.s my first apple watch was a se1.

I think you can get better deals on the second hand U1

Is that price for the new S9 for a stainless or titanium case? U1 has been on discount (in the US anyway) basically since the U2 was released, so if the used U1 is priced similarly to an aluminum S9 new, in terms of value for cost, the used U1 seems the way to go. Otherwise if you’re looking at a new stainless steel S9, I would think you’d be able to find a new U1 for a better price than that used one. (Disclaimer - I did no money conversion, so that could be confusing me)

Unless you are 6'10" 260 lbs , the Ultra will look stupid. Series 9 41 or 45mm in SS are the nicest, classiest watches Apple makes right now.
