Well, do they come with a Milanese loop band? doubt it. most likely comes with a sport band. I should have mentioned it in my previous post when i said 550$. i'll have to check the prices on craigslist etc but a mint condition series 2 stainless steel with a milanese loop band should be around 500. Its an excellent watch and is not outdated by any means so i don't think why they would be selling for less than that.
And the prices of the used stainless Series 2 will continue to drop once Series 3 becomes more widespread and in stores. So if somebody was wanting to sell now, now would be the time to do it.
I had money ready for an upgrade however am not going to. I didn't care about the LTE feature which if you do, I'd say go for it. But I don't. I never use my watch for calls anyway - just for getting messages really. And sure would be great to hear music and make calls, but I wouldn't use it for an extra £5 a month. I don't even think £5 a month is bad. But not if you won't use it.
I considered the non LTE version - but really, the barameter makes no diff for me, because I get stairs from the iphone. the new heart features I think are in software (could be wrong) but I get these features from the app Heart rate which I bought for £2.99 (works great! - I know when I'm sick, shows elevated heart rate).
I would have SERIOUSLY considered it...if there was sleep tracking. I would have upgraded in a heart beat from the series 2. but because nothing like that in this version, I don't care enough.

I'm quite happy with my Series 2 stainless with link bracelet. It's perfect. I bought the bracelet for my Series 0, then later on upgraded to the Series 2 when it came out, because I was desperate for better CPU performance. The Series 2 delivered, and has the added benefit of being immersible in water, and much brighter in the sun. With those improvements, I have no complaints at all about the 2. It does everything I need as fast as I need. OS 4 will kick things up another notch.
However if I was a frequent jogger I would probably upgrade for the freedom to leave my phone at home. As it stands, I would enjoy the convenience of that but only occasionally and not nearly enough to be worth the cost to upgrade or the monthly charge.

On the fence. I bought the Series 2 because I did not need series 3 cellular, but now I hear with the series 4 we will have to take it whether we want it or not and we can just not activate it. I'm more interested in the better display and thinner (maybe) case. I wont make up my mind until after the presentation. Pretty sure the series 3 is not worth upgrading for even with a discount. It's either buy a series 4 or just keep using the series2 till the series 5 comes out.
