Apple Watches

    I need a new Apple Watch as the screen broke on my old one. I don’t have insurance and the cost of fixing doesn’t make sense. I currently have an SE.

    Looking at SE versus the series 9, is there much of a difference in the functions? All I see is some enhanced health benefits but that’s it.

    Is it worth making the jump to a series 9?

    Also Is the Apple insurance worth it? I need something after breaking this one!

    In the same situation.... Apple Watch has a bigger screen (less bezel) and is always on. But I think I'll plug for a Series 8 45mm Silver which can be got brand new for 380 on Adverts.

    Insurance for a €479 item?

    Personally I would not bother as I think monthly gadget insurance is ridiculously expensive.

    Either set aside a little money each month and you'd soon build up watch replacement costs or take out Apple Care €89.00 which will give you 2 years accidental damage.

    Some great screen protectors on amazon, I have the ultra and you wouldn't even know there's a protector on it, great protection.

    Recently moved from an SE 2nd Gen to an Ultra 2 and the difference is unreal, particularly on the battery front. Previously I was having to charge the SE every night and now with the Ultra 2 it's every 3rd or 4th night (activity dependent).

    The Ultra 2 is a great watch.

    Battery life is incredible on it

    I have the ultra 1 and have it just going on 2 years and I am at the stage where I have to charge it every night, drives me mad. Might have to consider getting an Ultra 2 for a 3/4 day battery life.
