Apple

My series 5 was still doing great as of yesterday when my husband gave me a series 9 for Christmas so I gave the 5 to my son ( as it was the big one , not the " woman's" now I have the small one which fits my wrist so much better. ) SO series 5 was still going very strong for me. Daily wearer.

I bought a series 6 last year adjust for the ecg but being rather young it never changes. I don’t think it’s critical but an old Apple Watch starts to lose its battery. If I had to do it again, I’d probably go with a new SE series.

I got the SE 2 for “free” via Verizon with a $5/month LTE plan built into it. It’s fine and I see absolutely no reason to get a nicer model as I get all the health and fitness tracking I need and then some.

I’d go with an SE model.

Series 6 is perfect imo. Most of the feature are also available on newer model, you still have the same processor performance as the Series 8

Target and Costco have great deals on the 8. Target also had a sale on the 9 I believe

I would be thrilled to get a series 6 with the stainless steel.

You can get a series 7 or 8 with the aluminum body for less of course. You’d get texting from the watch as well. Not really important to me though. The stronger screen is more important.
