Watch SE V S10

Ok, so I need some help to choose which watch to buy as I just need to get it done!

It's definitely going to be Apple, but which one? Cellular or not?

Main use will be as a safety net/falls alarm.
(Did seriously consider the Your Stride but as an Apple User decided it was worth paying the extra for compatibility (plus waterproof, which Your Stride isn't)

Stupid question first 🥺can both be used to make/receive phone calls without ear phones?

cellular or not

I like the idea of just being able to go out, for. a walk without my phone (especially as I feel a bit vulnerable now & feel my phone/small bag to carry it, makes me a target)), but will I? I take loads of photos on my phone. But things like hospital appointments I could go without a bag couldn't I. (I had a stroke earlier this year & can't just carry stuff in my hands anymore as I have no feeling in my RH, so drop things & pockets only fit so much! (And my clothing Ioften doesn't have any)

Not sure if the GPS alone will work in the gym. But I suppose I can 'make do' without getting phone calls when I'm there (try not to miss consultant type phone calls)

Trying to think when else I wouldn't be near my phone...

is the SE 'enough' or is it worth the extra £180 for the S10?

  • how much better is the. Retina display really? (2000 v 1000 nitty in sunlight?)

no particular need for ECG function & would I trust if if I did??

what other differences are there??

any thoughts??

or mother that dies. But that's the one xi could find the details about yesterday.

then you need cellular.

i took without because i always carry some kind of bag (glasses and meds) so always have space for my phone. DH goes out with just his watch and leaves his phone at home, he has cellular.

That's what I said, I know I need cellular to do that, I'm just not sure it's worth an extra £200 & trying to see if there are other advantages & think about how often I'd actually do that.

i feel quite vulnerable in more isolated places *now^ carrying a small bag (clearly to hold phone/keys), just trying to weigh up the pros & cons.
