Apple Almost Pushed Series 9 Owners to Buy a New Watch. It Was All a Mistake.
When Apple published its watchOS 27 preview page on the web, it made clear that only Apple Watch Ultra 2/3, Series 10/11 and SE 3 would support the upcoming operating system. Left for dead was Apple Watch Series 9, joining Series 6, 7 and 8, plus SE 2 and Ultra 1 as omissions. But it...

I was hoping Series 2 would drop to Series 1’s price point…. but if that had happened why would anyone buy Series 3 without cellular.
If you want to swim with it and don’t want to pay a monthly fee to use cellular better buy the cheaper Series 3.
Yeah, but I was hoping the Series 2 (water resistant) would drop to the Series 1 price.
When I see someone with an Apple Watch on, I automatically assume the person uses iPhone, iPad, and Macbook – basically an iSheep.
Sounds about right
And this bothers you somehow?
He states on an iPhone news site
You can still find some Series 2 refurbs on Apple.
Good point!
Yes but at the moment they cost more refurbished ($539 and $589 for 42mm) than Series 3 with cellular let alone GPS only model.
