Hey all!
I've been in the market for an Apple Watch.
So I've had cheap analogue watches that I've used in the past. It finally died so I thought I'd get an Apple Watch. I work on a studio set so having the ability to read notifications on a watch is handy
I've been eyeing two models as I REALLY want Silver (Otherwise I would've gone Series 7)
SE 2022 44mm - $369 AUD (New)
Series 8 45mm - $529 AUD (Apple Certified Refurb)
Series 7 45mm - $449 AUD (Apple Certified Refurb) - Only Blue/Green/Starlight Available :(
I'm in two minds about it. One, I like my watch to tell me time without needing to flick the wrist all the time. Two, I don't know how much I would actually enjoy the watch as all I want it to do is tell time + show me notifications when I'm at work/in a meeting.
It's "only" $160 AUD difference, but I don't know whether I would need the AOD or not… Other features are not important to me.
Is it best to buy the SE 2022 first and see how much I actually enjoy the watch and maybe put the extra $160 towards an upgrade for the next model when there are more substantial upgrades or just go all out and get a 8. Not going to bother with the 9 as for me it's a waste of money with no benefits.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
SE is the way to go if it's your first foray and you're not interested in the health features and precision finding.
Wrist flick to see time/notifications becomes second nature pretty quick. Not an issue.
Save the money to treat yourself to something else.
