Well, now that you know better the specifics of each model, we can go deeper into choosing the ideal model. First of all, you need to be able to answer how you are going to use the device.

if you are a high performance athlete, for example, and need a cell phone connection and a device that offers maximum resistance in extreme situations, the model Ultra will be the best choice, as it will ensure that you are using a device that will really meet these specific needs.

Now, if you are going to use the device for exercise, but without the need for such an adrenaline-filled performance, and want to track your health metrics, such as heart rate and statistics related to sleep and family planning, the Series 8 it is also a functional and resistant device that fulfills these functions and represents better value for money.

On the other hand, for simpler usage and basic location, like being able to listen to music straight from your wrist on morning walks, you can find at WatchSE a model with great performance and with a much lower price.

Regardless of which model you choose, it is important to know that current versions of Apple Watch are only compatible with iPhone 8 or higher, running the operating system iOS 16 or superior. Apple smartwatches are not compatible with smartphones running the operating system Android.

One aspect that should be considered when choosing your Apple smartwatch is connectivity to your mobile operator's network. If you intend to use the Apple Watch away from your iPhone with some frequency — such as physical exercises and outdoor activities — and your carrier's plan offers smartwatch connectivity with your cell phone number, it's interesting to opt for the models GPS + Cellular🇧🇷 Now, if you are unlikely to stay away from your smartphone and your operator's plan is not compatible, choose the model GPS.
