Resolved Series 5 Upgrade (Best Apple Watch on Budget)

[lkendall667]

Hey everyone! I recently upgraded from my Series 5 to a Series 10, and I have no regrets. My sister still has her old Series 5, and I’m looking for a budget-friendly watch to upgrade her. I’m considering the Series 7 and Series 8. Which one would you recommend?

To give you a better idea, here’s a brief list of how she uses her watch:

- Fitness tracking
- iMessage (notifications)
- Alarms for sleep

She mentioned that the Always On Display (AOD) feature isn’t important to her. Thanks for your help!

Could also possibly for for The Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation); however the price is higher than used Apple Watch Series 7's and 8's.

I'd focus on the most recent version she can afford. If it's a choice between S7 or S8 I'd go with the S8
