Here's the only thing I'm really waiting for today... the Watch SE pricing. $279... gets it into "high quality Fitbit territory".

You can get a Series 4 w/cellular on ebay for $289. If you're buying one for your kids (with Family Setup) that's the best in-price.
with that, if they would let me hook it up to my ipad (I dont have an iphone) id buy it in a heartbeat
I've been thinking about getting an iPad. However, I can't imagine paying extra for a cellular model Apple Watch. Would you be able to get emails, messages, calendar stuff on a Wi-Fi only Apple Watch paired only to an iPad when you don't have your iPad on you?
hmm I guess thats a good point - I dont leave the house much so hadn't really considered that.
Would you say that cheaper one is a bad option (series 3?)? I'm not too likely to get one any time soon, but the cheaper they get, the more I'm considering it.
It simply has a smaller screen. The common annoying parts (not being always on, notifications about breathing/recording a walk etc.) are anyway more important than tiny performance differences.
