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 have the S4 which is now dying and no option to service the battery where I live so I’m upgrading to the S9 soon. Besides the speed, the only new thing I’m looking forward to is the larger screen. I will mostly keep AOD off. So I guess it doesn’t matter if I go for the S8 but I aim to keep my watch for at least 5 years hence getting the latest.
