Decision on S9 or SE (alien.top)

Hi everyone. Just transferred over to iPhone after being on android for around 10 years. I am looking for my first smart watch and not sure on whether to get the SE or S9. Not entirely sure on the additional health features that the S9 would do. Pros for the S9 is I guess Double Tap and faster processor. Pro for the SE is it’s just cheaper.

Need opinions and thoughts on it. Can the S9 have the Double Tap and Gestures function on at the same time? I tried the gestures on the SE and it doesn’t seem to be responsive?

The SE and Aluminum S9 scratches I’ve seen, make the S9 with the better stainless steel case and glass front worth the extra money imo.

If you can afford the latest and greatest and spending doesn’t matter, the 9 is an amazing choice. But if I was dipping into smart watches and I were cost conscious, the SE 2 GPS is amazing too. And you can get an SE 2 pretty cheap right now, even in the 44 mm size.

Honestly, I can live with the SE not having the ECG, but the large bezels on the SE are killing me.

I would get the Apple Watch Series 9 if I could afford it

You cannot write text messages with the SE I have heard.

It was a tough decision for me, but I just switched over last week to the S9 from the Garmin Vo fit active three the only thing that’s killing me right now is the battery drain
