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.

I bought an s9 as my first AW, was largely swayed by double tap as a new exclusive feature. But when I tried it out I was quite disappointed, it didn’t work well for me and it wasn’t quite how I imagined (ie you can’t have your watch by your side and double tap to pause music).

I returned the S9 and am trying out a refurb s8 now. Still feeling out if that was the right choice, it was certainly a lot cheaper though.
