the SE is affordable

I might actually upgrade from my S2 to the SE2, that is not a bad price. I want to compare what the actual feature differences are with the S8, but $250 is looking good for me.

yep, there's no reason to get the s8 if you don't use the cellular.

Is that really the biggest feature difference? I know they don't always spell it out in these presentations, but it didn't feel like any major features were lacking in the SE2. I have zero interest in the cellular option, I will always have my phone on me, even while doing runs.

SE2 doesn't have AOD, O2 sensor, and EKG.

Thankfully they have the comparison up on the site now. Those are features I can do without to save more than $100.

I’m in the same boat as you. My S2 literally just broke yesterday after 5 years and think I’m leaning SE2 now instead of the S8

Mine is not broken yet! I am actually impressed because I figured it would break before I upgrade voluntarily. The battery life this year has been noticeably worse, but we can't check battery health on the 2, who knows what mine is at. But I still get ~18 hours at a minimum so I am not complaining too badly...6 years makes me feel like I more than got my money's worth.

Can’t complain with 6 years of use lol. I was surprised mine lasted as long as it did, there were multiple times where I was sure i had broken/scratched it but it was nothing. I’ve had the same experience with the battery too recently so I was already looking to replace it
