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 would go for an S8 on sale if you’re really interested in what an S10 may offer. Even if you find the S10 not as groundbreaking as unsubstantiated speculation and rumors, you will still get years of use from the S8. And if the S10 is some major leap, you can sell and buy that. Or use the S8 for an extra few years as the “major leap” will still be there.
