Will you buy an Apple Watch?

[rvvaquero]

Old thread I know. I have been an Apple user for a long time but have never had an Apple Watch. My second Fitbit bit the dust this week and I am tired of having to get one every year. Looking at a series 10. First thing is going with the Aluminum case because I don't want have to pay the extra $$$ for the Titanium one. So it is $30 to go from the 42mm face to the $46mm face. Doesn't appear to be big difference for $30. Opinions.

The band. Thinking the rubber one as I am outside working (sweating) a lot but recommendations are welcome for the other type of bands.

Basically how do they hold up working in them like mowing, weed eating, carpentry etc? I get dirty a lot.

I have the smaller size. Next one will be the larger, easier to see.

If your phone is with you all the time, no need for the cellular. Cost depends on your carrier. If you have the US Mobile Premium Unlimited, adding watch is free. Lesser US Mobile Plan, the watch cost $6.50 month, including Tax. Verizon postpaid was $15 + Tax month. I think ATT is $10 + Tax. All depends on your carrier, some don't even offer it.

I wear the Sport Loop bands, just throw them in with the laundry ever couple of weeks if they get sweaty smelling. You can experiment with lot's of different bands on Amazon, they are cheap.

For what it's worth, check the price on Walmart before you buy. They have had some great prices in the past on the current model AW and the SE also. My first AW was an SE, then I bought an AW8. Both are great watches. Do a comparison on Apple's website. You may find that the SE will do everything you want.

Yeah I have AT&T prepaid and I am not sure you can add it to that but realistically I don't think I need the cellular at all. The larger face seems to be the best fit for me. I don't have the greatest eye sight so bigger is probably better.

I did compare the SE and while I like the price better I want more functions than it has. Buying direct from Apple I can get a 10% veteran discount. I found one on Amazon that was actually less than buying from Apple with my discount but it only had the option of the Textile band and didn't have the option of the XL size band and I prefer the rubber band. I will compare it to what Walmart has though. Thanks for the info.

One more thing. Did you get the 42mm or 46mm face?

I have the 42mm, my wrist is smaller, the 46mm seemed too big to me.
