Is the series 9 worth it for someone who doesn’t have a smart watch? (alien.top)

I am looking to get an Apple Watch and I can’t decide whether or not to get the series 8 (or lower) vs the 9. The older series are much cheaper but the series 9 with the finger tap looks super cool, and I like that it’s much brighter. I was wondering what this sub would think.

I know I’ll use it a lot regardless of which version I get. The series 9 features are just tempting to me.

It’s not that much brighter after time you won’t notice a thing. I think as a first one and if you want to save money buy series 7 used. They are sooooo cheap now and still plenty of life in them and exactly the same functionality except double touch and temperature sensor that’s it. Don’t go lower as it’s not the best for battery life,was memory, problems with updates and slow charging. I’m using series 7 fine refuse to upgrade as there is no difference for me to spend money on the same thing it just doesn’t make a sense. The whole watch even looks the same …. I was so hyped for event and now do disappointed
