I just picked up a Series 6 and while I'm loving the Apple Watch, Im not sure it's worth the extra 170 bucks vs. the SE. The ECG and Oxygen Sensor are cool, but as someone without any health issues its not really seeming like a necessary feature and while the AOD is nice, I tend to raise my wrist up to look at the time anyway? Should I exchange it for the SE?
 
Yeah it kinda sounds like the SE would be fine for you. I had the S5 for a short time last year and ended up turning off the AOD for battery reasons.

That's pretty much why I chose the Nike SE: no need for ECG or blood ox, and a flick of the wrist to wake works fine for me. Unless you got blue or red Al & totally love it, I'd save the extra $$.

I was gonna exchange it but the Apple Store near me is only letting people in with appointments and they didn't have any for 4 hours so I decided to just keep it haha.
 
Unless the $170 will create a financial hardship or you want it for something else you really want or need I would keep it.

Right. At this point it seems like more work than it’s worth to exchange it and I like the extra features. I’m also financing it through my Apple Card so it’s only an extra 7 bucks a month.
