Hey there, forum members!

I need your advice on a potential Apple Watch purchase. I'm really keen on getting the Space Black Titanium version, but it seems the latest Series 9 doesn't come in Titanium, and the Ultra is just too big for me.

I've found a brand new replacement device: the Space Black Titanium Apple Watch Series 7 45 mm. The seller is asking for USD 450, and there are still two months of warranty left.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Considering that the Series 9 is the latest model, would it still be worth buying the Series 7 for its Titanium build?

2. How does the durability and reliability of the Series 7 compare to the Series 9? Are there any notable issues I should be aware of?

3. Is USD 450 a reasonable price for a brand new replacement device with two months of warranty, considering the Series 9 doesn't offer a Titanium option?

Your insights and experiences would be super helpful in making up my mind. Thanks a bunch!

Cheers,
 
May be worth Considering the series 8 stainless steel. New watches are available at discounted prices (at least here in the UK). You get better durability and a sapphire crystal screen at not much more than an Aluminium S9. New watches are also eligible for AppleCare
