Want to buy an Apple Watch for the first time but having a hard time deciding. Having heard the rumors about the Series X, I’m wondering whether it’d be a good idea to settle with an SE 2 or a Series 8 for a lower price for the time being and get the Series X when it comes out, or just buy the Series 9 and have that be my watch for however long it lasts.

I like the upgrades of the Series 9, but is spending the extra $300 (converted) for it really worth?

Thanks for your opinions in advance!

    For years I thought “I will wait for next year, maybe there is something really crazy coming” but this year with the Series 9 I finally pulled the trigger and honestly I should have done it years ago. It motivates me so much to be more active, I put more attention towards my sleep quality, I discovered Fitness Plus for me, etc. Even if the Series X is going to be some ground breaking re-invention of the Apple Watch, it will be the first generation of whatever that would be and you can get a more refined version of it a couple of years down the line.

    If you think you will benefit from an Apple Watch, I would pull the trigger now. If it is an SE, Series 8 or Series 9 depends on what you want to spend and what features you want, but I wouldn’t make it dependent on whatever the Series X might be.
