I can either get a refurb Apple Series Watch 9 45mm from either cashify or get a brand new Apple Watch SE 2 40mm for around 25k on EMI.
I have just bought an iPhone 16e 128gb. I would have bought the new se2 watch but my concern is the se2 was released in 2022 and it won’t be software compatible with my iPhone 16e in the long run as much as the watch series 9 will. But, the refurb series 9 is a gamble. Most problematic is going to be the battery. The battery is probably going to give me trouble in a year or so if not in the next 3-6 months.
I don’t know if the battery can be replaced and how much it costs.
So, I’m dithering. Whether to buy a new watch or a refurb one?
