I've resisted the idea of getting a smart watch for years. I think I'm going to give in. One of my doctors recommended it for fitness tracking.

I have decided I want it to be an Apple Watch.

I want to spend as little as possible, but I don't want to miss out on features or quality. I suspect the SE might not satisfy me but I have no idea why. What does a Series 10 have that a Series 9 doesn't have?

I'm pretty sure I don't want a refurbished unit. That sometimes works out but sometimes not.

Applecare is annoying, because it's expensive, and it basically means the unit isn't good enough out of the box. I buy it anyway for computers, tablets, and phones because I end up using it. I'm leaning towards not getting it for the watch.

I appreciate any guidance. My decisions above are not firm.

What information should I mention? I want to buy strength and flexibility, and I think reminders to exercise will help. I currently use ridewithgps to track my cycling miles. I ride about 2,000 miles per year, mostly commuting, not at a vigorous pace but not at a leisurely pace. I do not struggle with my body weight.

My doctor highly recommended the fitbod app, so I got it.

Thanks.
