Got my wife a Series 8 - there's a lot packed into that model.

Good to know. Just ordered a 45mm silver aluminum model and got a couple case protectors. I didn’t feel paying an extra $400 for a stainless case with sapphire crystal screen and weighs a few grams more.

Total cost for new watch and case protectors, $148 using my $507 in Amazon gift card balance.

Now I also have to buy a USB C charging block as I don’t have one at all.

Agreed - it's not a watch that will be in your Will so the aluminium body is all that's needed. Annoying that the existing Apple blocks don't work....I had to order a USB C block too.

Just ordered a block too. Everything will be coming tomorrow. As well as a couple Milanese loop bands in pink gold and rose gold for my wife’s Fitbit watch. Also happy that all the Apple Watch bands are interchangeable.

I use a Gamin Fenix and know a few other users. IMO the harder sapphire is worth the extra $$. Tougher and more scratch resistant.

Yes, the sapphire crystal is stupid durable. 8 years on my Apple Watch and only 1 faint scratch that you can barely see. It’s always on my wrist, when wrenching, when washing the car. It gets whacked a lot. I was actually playing Kinect Adventures on my Xbox 360 and did a throwing motion with my arm. That’s when the screen ripped off. Heard the screen hit the wall and something else. Took me a minute to find it on the ground under my computer desk. The screen was perfectly intact except the ribbon tore off.

Only time I take it off is when I sleep and take a shower. When I bought mine new in 2015 it was $500, now it’s $970 for a 45mm. I can’t validate spending that for stainless steel and sapphire screen. Would rather buy the aluminum for $570 and spend $10 on screen+case protectors.

the High Commander has taken on the bathroom reno herself. She has been binge watching Rocky and talking with a Russian accent. She gulped down raw eggs this morning. —I'm getting worried she's going to call me out for the heavy weight title. My corner is not that heavy anymore!
