--SMPOST--Which Apple Watch is Right for YOU in 2023? (ULTIMATE Apple Watch Comparison)

You made me realise that I really do not need a smartwatch haha thanks

The only downside to this comparison was your statement on the stainless steel variants being "...for the looks..." - the Stainless Steel has the added benefit of being a Sapphire Crystal display instead of the regular glass of the Aluminium watches.

You get the polished looks, but the glass is SO much more durable it's def. worth mentioning.

I had a Series 5 SS and it was incredibly scratch resistent.

I've had the Nike series 3 for about 4 years now. Worn it everyday through workouts, swimming, beaches, all types of environments. The screen is all scratched up due to the constant wear and tear and its finally slowing down on me. Screen is becoming less responsive and I think its finally time for an upgrade, especially considering how much I use it. I definitely think the temperature and spO2 monitors are a game changer for the series 9. You never know when you could use them. That was the only think that led me to choose the series 9 over the SE.

[IGH]

Until I can FaceTime on one of these I’ll stick with my SE2 😅

I upgraded from the series 6 to the ultra watch 2 and love it!

There is an alternative option that wasn't put in this video.. buying one of the older watches.
The Apple Watch's CPU hasn't been upgraded since the Series 6, It has had the same battery capacity since the very beginning at 295mah, the Series 7 for example might have an S7 instead of an S8 chip, but they run practically the same and the Series 7 will give you more features than the SE and would cost less second hand than a brand new SE. It also has the fast charging that the Series 9 has and the SE lacks, which I think you really underplayed by saying it's slightly slower. It can charge to 100% in just over 1 hour, it takes nearly 2 hours for the SE to reach 100%.
New isn't always best.

General consensus seems to be that the s9 offers not a lot over the S8, so if you can get a deal on the S8 get that rather than a 9. Will personally be waiting for the upgrade with blood sugar sensor, I think that's what is missing for me.

Over here in the U.S paying like 350 a month for health insurance with 0 discounts on anything else. Yet i still have to pay out of pocket if i go to the DR.... our healthcare is a Joke here!

Got ultra 1 this year and … blimey, the visual difference in comparison to my old black series 8 is huge. It looks like a watch, not a … toy, but that might be because I have always liked bigger, slightly rugged silver watches, which is a bit of shocker considering I have a 13 mini and no plans to change it until software supports tun out.

[velkar]

While comparing SE and Series 9, you keep showing the image of Ultra 2. It's a bit confusing...

[undercover]

What the uk is doing for y’all is what they should do for the US. An incentive to be active and I bet you everyone would do it I sure would

[Valkyriesix]

If I currently have a Series 8, is it worth the upgrade to the Ultra 2? I want something more rugged and something that can handle more outdoor activities.

[johnnyblaze]

Series 4 here and 44mm should I upgrade and what should I upgrade 2

[PeteMatheson]

Which Apple Watch is YOUR favourite? And, if you don't own one, why not?

[tmcdon]

Here I am with the Series 3 😅definitely upgrading to the Ultra 2. It’s time 😂

[NourMoghrabi]

Thanks for sharing I’m enjoying my Apple Watch SE 1 generations

[MarwanNajjar-iu]

I bought an se2, the only problem are the big bezels

[BryceScroggins]

I use a series 2 for work bc I paid $50 and only use it to answer calls but can’t decide what to get for outside of work

[FrankRiibry]

So I play competitive football ⚽️ and I like to wear a watch while we are training. Which one would you recommend? SE or series 9?

[MuditVerma]

Any opinions on audio recording capabilities across all of the models? I’m a stand-up comedian and I anticipate wearing and using the smart watch every night when I perform having it record between 5 to 15 minutes per night. I would appreciate any input, thank you!
