Which watch to replace Series 3?

[Fozziebear40]

Hi, my wife absolutely loves her Apple Watch Series 3. Sometimes the battery runs down too quick, but other than that it's fine. She has a braided solo loop strap on it. I was going to buy her a new strap, but at £99, I could put that towards a new watch. Is the Series 3 too old now?

Which Apple Watch is the best value to replace it with please, cellular needed. I have seen refurb Series 6 40mm for £369 and Series 7 for £399 from Apple.

Thanks.

Edit: Can get a new SE for £369 with Braided Solo Loop, how does it compare?

Do not get a new Series 3. I would recommend a used Series 5 for the most value (always on display, bigger screen than the 3) or the Series 7 (even bigger screen).

The first generation SE is nice too, but without the always on screen. The SE2 is a bit faster but no huge leap. And you can find the SE on sale rather often. It's currently $199 for the 40mm cellular model at Walmart in the US. Don't know where you'd find it for similar in the UK.

That is great DT, thanks. I have not been keeping up on Apple Watches. The original SE sounds good then, I'll have a search for any UK stock.

I've ordered the latest SE for her. The cellular addition is only £50. The original SE is not much cheaper in the UK if you can find one. Thanks for the help.

Good choice. New SE is great unless you really want AOD.

Get the SE 2. You wont regret it.

If she has any reason to measure her O2 blood levels, get the 6.
