My main beef with the Watch these days is the processor/OS combo—the Series 9 finally upgraded the CPU but even first-party apps tend to be slow updating or take too long to do too little. Still better than the giant pile of confusion that is the Garmin lineup, IMHO.
for fabric band, you have to go to an apple store?
Per apple's own verbage: *Blood Oxygen app is not supported by Apple Watch SE. The ability to measure Blood Oxygen is no longer available on Apple Watch units sold by Apple in the United States on or after January 18, 2024. These are indicated with part numbers ending in LW/A.
Back in the series 2-3 days, I got aluminum once and got it scratched just putting some third party metal band in. Never had any scratch issue with stainless with sapphire glass. The DLC on the black one did amazing job.
I decided to be cheap again with series 9 and not sure if they changed anything but no scratches anywhere even though I have been equally careless, maybe few micro scratches on glass that I can't see.
But loved the lighter weight of aluminum. Titanium is lighter than steel so maybe. But I won't go back to more expensive models since I upgrade almost every 1-2 years.

I guess I need to try the aluminum one on sometime again as it has been years since I have held one.
Oooh kay…
Get the aluminum. It weighs less, cost less, and if you're even moderately coordinated you won't damage it to be noticeable unless you make an effort to seek out flaws. And if you do that, well that's an entirely different issue.

I currently use an aluminum Series 6 that my wife handed down to me last year when she purchased an Ultra 2. My wife managed to get a few noticeable scratches/scuffs on the Series 6 in her 3 years with it. After 1 year with her Ultra 2 (which has sapphire crystal), her watch glass still looks pristine.
Thank you.
Honestly I'm up in the air on continuing to give Apple money on these watches. Nothing since the 5 has interested me but I'm more or less forced to due to software patches.
Garmin highly interests me except the lack of responding to messages from the watch and my next appointment in the watch face kindof suck.
I like stainless. Feels more premium and I like the extra weight. I wouldn't pay retail for it but there are a ton of used watches out there that still have a lot of life left in them.

Support per series:
1-2: 3 years
3: 4 years
4: 5 years
5: 4 years
6: 4+ years
7: 3+ years
etc
The 7 *might* have two years left.
You're spending $40/yr, in your example, for upgrades vs trading ahead of time (eg, trade that 7 in now at $110, buy this deal, net is $170 for 5 years = $34). You are actually spending more money with your method.
In either case, it doesn't solve for Apple's deprecation of these things which is my main complaint.
It certainly feels like watchOS is such a bloated unoptimized pared-down version of iOS that all the processing improvements are just going to running that- and it's likely why Garmin outperforms Apple in battery life. Garmin isn't porting some phone OS into a watch, theirs is designed for that hardware from the start.

I've had this in my Amazon cart for weeks.
I bought it then cancelled then purchased again last night.
It's back up to ~$412 so the Amazon deal is also dead.
