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!

    I had the SE for 2 years, now I have upgraded to series 9. Wanted the AOD and the qwerty keyboard.

    Comparing the series 8 and 9, there’s not much difference except for on device siri and tap gesture, which I think are not major changes. If you’re planning to use the watch for long then go with the series 9 for extended updates. Changing apple watch every year is not recommended as per my experience.
