Joe Smith isn’t your average shopper.
He’s not throwing money at the most expensive option just for bragging rights, but he’s also not buying the cheapest thing just to save a buck.
Joe wants to make the smartest possible decision.
And today, he’s facing a classic dilemma:
He wants an Apple Watch—but with so many models out there, he doesn’t know which one to choose.
And we don’t blame him. Between the Series 10, the SE, older models still kicking around, and the Ultra (for folks who think they’ll summit Everest next weekend), the choice is harder than picking something on Netflix.
So let’s walk in Joe Smith’s shoes and figure out which Apple Watch is actually worth it in 2025.
No boring specs. No marketing lingo. Just real-life advice based on your lifestyle (or how dramatic you are with your tech).
🟦 Apple Watch SE: For His Cheap Cousin
Joe Smith’s got a cousin.
You know the one—“Why would I pay for a watch? My phone already tells the time.”
For him (and anyone just looking for the essentials), the Apple Watch SE is the smart, budget-friendly pick.
✔️ Same design as Series 10, minus the Always-On display
✔️ S9 chip → fast and future-proof
✔️ GPS and GPS + Cellular versions available
✔️ Tracks heart rate, sleep, fall detection
✔️ Water resistant up to 50m
✔️ Comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes
📌 Who should buy it?
✅ Anyone who wants the Apple Watch experience without the premium price
✅ Joe’s cousin who just wants time and notifications
✅ People who want Cellular but not the Series 10 price tag
✅ Folks who don’t need blood oxygen or ECG, but still care about health & safety
💬 Joe Smith says:
“If you’re fine with just the basics, the SE totally works. But if you can spend a bit more, the Series 10 is a smarter long-term choice.”
🟦 Series 7, 8, and 9: For His Uncle Who Buys Last-Year’s Tech on Sale
Joe’s uncle is that guy.
Always buying “new” tech—that’s actually from two years ago and on clearance.
Is buying an older Apple Watch in 2025 still worth it? Depends:
📌 Series 9 (2023)
✔️ Always-On screen, S9 chip, more sensors than the SE
✔️ Tracks blood oxygen, temperature, ECG
✔️ Still a solid buy if the price is right
📌 Series 8 (2022)
✔️ Pretty much the same as Series 9, just a weaker chip
✔️ Worth it only if you find a great deal
📌 Series 7 (2021)
✔️ A legend in its time
❌ Not worth it anymore—unless someone gives it to you for free
💬 Joe Smith says:
“If you spot a good deal on a Series 9, go for it. But older than that? Not really worth it anymore.”
🟦 Apple Watch Series 10: Joe Smith’s Pick
Joe Smith is a rational dude. If he’s going to invest in a smartwatch, it better be one that actually holds up for years.
🔹 Comes in 42mm and 44mm → Better fit for different wrists
🔹 OLED LTPO display → Brighter, more efficient
🔹 S10 chip → Fastest ever
🔹 Full health suite → Blood oxygen, ECG, temperature, blood pressure
🔹 Fall and crash detection → Can call emergency services
🔹 5G support (Cellular version) → You can ditch your iPhone if needed
📌 Who should buy it?
✅ Someone like Joe Smith—wants the best, but no drama
✅ Anyone upgrading from a much older Apple Watch
✅ Those who want a smartwatch that stays relevant for years
💬 Joe Smith says:
“The Apple Watch Series 10 GPS is the best choice for most people in 2025.”
🟦 Apple Watch Ultra: For His Extreme Cousin (Or the One Who Thinks He Is)
Joe’s cousin swears this year he’s going full beast mode: triathlons, rock climbing, diving with sharks…
For him, only one watch will do: Apple Watch Ultra.
🔹 Titanium case → Tough as nails
🔹 Up to 60 hours of battery life → Lasts way longer than the Series 10
🔹 Dual-frequency GPS → Super accurate everywhere
🔹 100m water resistance → Real diving stuff
🔹 Action Button → Custom quick access
🔹 Emergency siren speaker → It could literally save your life
📌 Who should buy it?
✅ If you’re Alex Honnold climbing cliffs with no ropes
✅ If you run ultra-marathons, deep-dive, or go off-grid
✅ If you just want the biggest, baddest Apple Watch (even if you just sit at your desk)
💬 Joe Smith says:
“If you really use those features, it’s amazing. But if it’s just for the looks… save your money.”
🟩 So, what does Joe Smith buy?
🔹 If you’re Joe Smith and want the smartest choice → Apple Watch Series 10 GPS
🔹 If you’re his cheap cousin → Apple Watch SE
🔹 If you’re his discount-hunting uncle → Apple Watch Series 9 (if it’s cheap)
🔹 If you’re his extreme cousin → Apple Watch Ultra
