Which Apple Watch is best to buy?

[Coupon921999]

Hello everyone,
I am a fan of Apple. What I like most from Apple products is the ability to sync between them. I am currently using an Iphone 11 and a Macbook Air. I want to buy an Apple Watch but should not buy an Apple Watch to match the price and needs of use. Hope everyone can give me some advice.
Thanks everyone.

I went from a Series 2 to a Series 6 (the current version) in 2020. Honestly, I don’t know why you wouldn’t buy the latest/greatest so that you get the longest possible use and comparability with iOS upgrades going forward.

I'm more than satisfied with my S3 but here's a link for you. I used this before:

Apple Watch - Compare Models

Compare specs for the latest Apple Watch models: Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch SE.

What do you want to do with the Watch? If you are not sure and would like to just start using the watch as a time piece, then just get the AW3 on sale and then dip your toes into the ecosystem and then later on, decide to purchase a device that matches your needs (or not).

I wouldn’t buy a Series 3. It has minuscule storage and can be a PITA with some (many?) people needing to do a cumbersome reset just to upload small patches. I’m not sure that it applies to all S3 watches, and some had different capacities, but I’ve read of issues on here and a friend has an S3 with 8GB and it’s been a big issue.

Assuming you are only interested in New:

If budget is a consideration then series 3 but keep in mind the storage and update issue as stated earlier - around $200

If you are hard on your watches then S5 SS from somewhere that has clearance deals - around $500

If you are careful and want latest /greatest then series 6 aluminum (SS if budget isn't an issue) - around $450 to $750

I don't understand what this means. Maybe there is a language issue, or maybe it is just me. Are you trying to say that you shouldn't buy an Apple Watch considering its price and your needs, but you want to buy one anyway? In that case, the Apple Watch SE is a good value. Does all of the most important things the higher models do, at least for most people.

Asking in your title "Which Apple Watch is best to buy" is a bit like asking which car is best to buy.
"Best" can mean a lot of different things to different people. Without more explanation of your needs/budget, you will likely just a get a lot of subjective random opinions.

Agreed. This issue was a big factor in my desire to upgrade from my series 3. It’s been an issue for a long time, and I don’t have any confidence that it will be fixed anytime soon.
