Hi everyone!

Just wanted to know your perspective and opinion with the recently announced Apple Watch Series 5:

I'm looking to upgrade from my Series 2 GPS version. I purchased it September 2017, during the same time Series 3 was announced.

Question is: Would you be fine with Series 4 or be tempted for Series 5? I do running and would be nice to not have my phone all the time. I don't see benefits of always-on display but the 32gb does sound tempting. And the upcoming WatchOS caters more to the larger screens. I'm finding people posting up their watch on sale on eBay for $300+ vs financing monthly.

Last time, I had a 7+ and upgraded to XS Max because it was a brand new model and without the home button. Somewhat close comparison

Looking forward in hearing your thoughts! Thanks again.

If the price difference isn't a factor then I'd go with the 5. I've always been a proponent of buying the newest technology available, especially if you plan on keeping it for several years.

Enjoy you new watch, whichever you choose.
