Which Apple Watch Should I Buy After Switching to iOS?

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?

Any Apple Watch from Series 9 and up or the SE 2 is a good choice!

TechieTurtle92: 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 Iโ€™ve had issues with that in the past.

Iโ€™d say grab the Series 10 when you find it on sale! There really isnโ€™t much difference between the 10 and the 11, so you could save some cash without missing out on features.

SmartSwitch78: That makes sense! I'm also curious, thoughโ€”what's the upgrade difference between the Series 10 and the 9?

What do you typically use your smartwatch for? Just curious, since I switched from Apple to Garmin for fitness and running, and Iโ€™m really loving it! Wouldn't go back to Apple now.

TechieTurtle92: I mainly use it to track my activities. I play a lot of sports and donโ€™t really like running, but I enjoy walks and exercise. Also, Iโ€™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.
