Hi ET, I have the series 9. But one thing to know is that Apple got sued for a patent violation with the Oxygen sensor. So The watch 9 no longer comes with that capability. With that in mind, depending on your needs of course, you might want to consider the less expensive series 8. It also contains the emergency alert technology and the fall detection. Cheers, Donna
