Hey everyone! I recently made the switch from Android to iOS and I used to wear a Galaxy Watch 6. Unfortunately, a lot of features like ECG were limited to Samsung users, so I couldn't take full advantage of it being on a OnePlus. Now that I have an iPhone, I'm looking to buy an Apple Watch but I'm not sure which model to go for. I feel like there haven't been any major upgrades recently, so I'm hesitant about getting the Series 11. The Ultra is definitely overkill for my needs. I'm curious if the Series 9 or 10 would be a better fit instead?

What do you typically use your smartwatch for? Just curious, since I switched from Apple to Garmin for fitness and running, and I’m really loving it! Wouldn't go back to Apple now.
I’d say grab the Series 10 when you find it on sale! There really isn’t much difference between the 10 and the 11, so you could save some cash without missing out on features.
That makes sense! I'm also curious, though—what's the upgrade difference between the Series 10 and the 9?
Any Apple Watch from Series 9 and up or the SE 2 is a good choice!
But I heard the SE lacks ECG, right? Plus, I think the 9 and newer ones can help with monitoring blood pressure, which would be useful for me since I’ve had issues with that in the past.
I mainly use it to track my activities. I play a lot of sports and don’t really like running, but I enjoy walks and exercise. Also, I’m used to checking notifications on it, and sleep tracking is super important for me. If I could monitor my blood pressure, that'd be a significant bonus too, since I can't rely on it but I'd like a rough idea of where I stand.
