[@suzannetaylor6285]

Last year, I upgraded from a series 4 to a series eight. I’m very impressed and don’t see me needing another new watch for hopefully another four years!

[@kimgallros9803]

damn, i'm also going from a S4, but not sure if i should go for Se, 8 or 9 just yet, what feature of the new watch impressed you the most if i may ask? and how is the battery on S8 vs S4??

[@DestinF87]

I was wondering if it would be much different from my series 3 that I’ve had about 4&1/2 years.

[@AmazinngCM]

Summary_ Design and Colors: Series 9 introduced a new pink color. SE2 uses a plastic back, making it lighter and cheaper. Sensors and Display: Series 9 and 8 have more advanced sensors than SE2. Series 9 display is twice as bright as Series 8 and dims more efficiently in low light. Chip Performance: Series 9 has the new S9 chip, significantly faster than the S8 chip in Series 8 and SE2. Battery Life: Series 9 has improved battery life, lasting longer than SE2, especially with cellular use. New Features: Series 9 introduces a double-tap feature for easy control and an ultra-wideband chip for better connectivity. Recommendation: For a budget option, get a refurbished Series 8 over SE2. For longevity and performance, invest in Series 9. The Series 9 is recommended for its superior chip, better battery life, and new features, making it a worthy upgrade despite the higher cost.

[@Gzilla313]

I had a galaxy watch 2 active and just got the Apple Watch 9. The Apple Watch does a lot more, but I really prefer the display of the galaxy watch.

[@Frostmenn]

Galaxy display are so beautiful i wish apple did something like that

[@stormtrooper9404]

So basically… keep your SE2 or even older models, unless you want more gimmicks you will never use!

[@Adeyum64]

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.

[@sheppy2817]

😂

[@atomicfrost8624]

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.

[@Doppo69]

I did the same had a series 4 but battery life tanked past month since os10, bought series 8 45mm new for 30% off original price 👌🏽 keep it as long as possible good 3 years by then Apple may have innovated something finally

[@mertgokce6385]

which band you're using for the series 8 ? It looks good

[@ZE3kr]

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.

[@giseler7936]

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.
