Nah, I went with the SE, GPS only, which they’re not updating this time around.
I figure that if I really take to it a more expensive model might be worth it but it’s still a bit of an experiment. I’ve never done health/fitness trackers and only the occasional bit of GPS on the bike for distance and routes. But I got really messed up by long covid this year and I’m attempting to be more structured in tracking my recovery and being able to do more. I still haven’t ridden a bike since January.

I couldn't resist the shiny one this time around, found I fell out of love with the alu case years ago and that was stopping me wearing it.
The prompting is probably more compelling/rewarding when you are exercising happily, it's also especially good for music/tracking without carting around a phone which was a big deal for me running as I always hated having to have the phone with me.
Maybe it will work as a tool to get back into exercise while monitoring stats, I expect it doesn't do that as well as encouraging the already fit to do a bit more!
Sorry to hear you are suffering with long covid though. All the best with your recovery, I hope the watch helps.
Not waiting for the series 7? The stainless version is very nice too and there are plenty of cheap straps to play with.
