Milanese is nice but if you got arm hair stay away

The stainless steel variants have a sapphire crystal screen, instead of the crappier glass on the aluminum models. Sapphire is much more resistant to scratching. In 3 years with the S4 stainless and 2 years with the S8 stainless I've never managed to scratch either one. Smacked against walls, door handles, all kinds of sh*t. Case scratched up? Easy --> polish it. If you care about screen scratches (and they drive you nuts), the stainless is suuuuuuuper worth it for the sapphire screen.

I honestly haven't had many issues at all with the Milanese band that came with my stainless Apple Watch. I have really hairy arms but it's rare for them to catch on the edge of the band. This only applies to the ones made by Apple. If you get a third party no-name Milanese band from eBay or wherever, those will rip your hair out guaranteed.

I just told myself that I don't need anything else, now I'm staring at my two year old Apple Watch SE + cellular and wondering if I should upgrade…is there anything that I'm missing?

Same here, wore the series 4 midnight stainless steel for years and unfortunately, it would not be supported by the next watchos. You can still pick up the $299 with Milanese loop if you want midnight. I decided to pick up the silver one with sports band and save $50 as I can reuse the black Milanese loop from my old series 4.

Great deal...decisions decisions

Resale value on the watch is bad

Currently have an 8 and I'd be lucky to get $120-150

Yeah really. Brutal. I bought the S8 Stainless full price when it came out. No regrets, but the resale is complete sh*t. If there's a big redesign I might buy the new one this year... But deals like this make me question whether I should LMAO. $250 for the 45mm stainless is insane.


First watch was a Stainless S4 (Best Buy, sale similar to this one). I was torn between S5 aluminum and S4 Stainless. 10000% worth getting the stainless. Sapphire screen --> ZERO scratches, ever. On the S4 or S8 stainless. And the stainless case can be polished, and also looks great. You can make it elegant with the Milanese band, or use the sport band for daily use.

Yeah if you look into specs the Stainless Steel also has a different "crystal" (watch face glass) or at least it used to. But the one that says $799 retail isn't correct. They do sell for quite a bit more but not THAT much more (except the Ultra).

The stainless steel variants have a sapphire crystal screen, instead of the crappier glass on the aluminum models. Sapphire is much more resistant to scratching. In 3 years with the S4 stainless and 2 years with the S8 stainless I've never managed to scratch either one. Smacked against walls, door handles, all kinds of sh*t. Case scratched up?

I sold my 7 stainless with 85% battery for $215 in June. Was hoping for a big upgrade with the 10 (X). Pulled the trigger now since nothing indicates a real functionality upgrade with the new X watch, aside from a larger screen. We will know more on 9/9. At this point we shall see if I keep it for return it, but for $300 this is a steal. Excellent watch. Never go Aluminum of you can get the better glass and frame at this price.

Same. Only wear the Milanese band when dressing more formally. But never had an issue. I have moderately hairy arms. "Normal" hair amount I guess.

Damn, literally just bought this last week when the 45mm Sport Band was selling for $349 at Walmart. Can't believe they discounted it another $100 to clear stock.

I couldn't be without the watch for that long, wow. I guess I could fire up my old S4 until they announce the new one, so that I can sell this S8 stainless LOL.





100%, always go for the stainless!

Quote from windwardmist :
So if I understand this correctly, these should ALL have the 02 sensor disabled since they were sold after a certain date, correct? As I understand it, this applies to all Apple Watches after a certain date. Anyone care to comment if they have bought one recently from a third party like Walmart instead of Apple?

This could potentially be a dealbreaker for some. It might be worth grabbing one at this price, and hopefully at the Apple conference on the 9-9-24 they may announce one of two things. Either they have created their own 02 sensor to get around the ban, or they will be re-nabling this feature for all the watches sold after a certain date. Ideas?
No, Series 9 are affected by the lawsuit. These are Series 8.
