I have the og original apple watch. Ive been looking at upgrading for a while and almost got the SE last year. I'm wondering if I can get the discounted series 7 45mm, would that be a better watch and just as future proof as the new SE2? Both watches would be the larger 44-45mm and both be cellular. Opinions please. Thank you

So AOD is that big of a game changer? keep in mind I am coming for the original watch so I have never experienced AOD. I am just wondering if the series 7 is still a better watch than the new SE2. I know AOD is a factor (Huge factor to many), but are the other differences big as well. Thank you for your reply
It depends how much of a discount - for $70, I'd take the S7. Going to Series 7:
+ Larger display
+ AOD
+ ECG
+ Fast Charge
- Crash Detection
Both being based on the S8 processor (S6, S7, S8) I imagine that they will have the same support lifespan. I could be wrong.
I think that for this price difference you’d be better with the S7. Always-On display, ECG, blood oxygen monitoring, bigger display. SE 2 has basically the same SoC than S7, and only have niche features like car crash detection
