Have a look at the SE. Got my wife and kid that model and they're pretty pleased with it.

Zuck wants you to upgrade to Wear OS.
I was thinking of looking at the SE. It would be perfect for her needs.

Just sucks that the SE doesn't have a qwerty keyboard but the 41mm Series 7 does.
I had a look at the iStore pre-owned website, but they currently only have the Series 8, (41mm, Series 8, GPS + Cellular) for R9999 available. A new SE 40mm is about R6500, which is more than what I can afford at this stage. I think I'll still keep my eyes open for a good 2'nd hand one. My wife's Series 1 also was a pre-owned one which gave her many years of good use.
They were lucky - I get them the GPS + Cellular, 40mm Silver Aluminum Case from Apple's refurbished site for $249 each.
Not sure I'd risk a pre-owned one sight unseen.
But why only the series 7?

Can also look at Phonetradr https://www.phonetradr.com/buy/products/apple-watch-se-(2nd-gen)-16gb-starlight-like-new-condition-2. Got my scratched SE from there.
Because Apple.
That sounds awful. Who wants to hold up their arm to type on a watch? Or dictate to it?
I don’t even have WhatsApp notifications come through on my watch.
So are you in the Apple camp now or - both? I can’t make out these days.
And yet Messages has an Apple Watch app.
I'm pretty sure Telegram did as well at one stage.
It's pretty handy if you don't have your phone with you.

Yes https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...bbit-hole-have-you-gone.1208603/post-31877670. Need to see if you can save money over the long term but so far, so good.
Welcome. Do you think you’d ever go back to an Android phone?
Most apps have a watch equivalent. Doesn’t mean they all made a good use case for the watch.

For you but I've already highlighted one adventitious use case so I'm glad it's available to those of us who want it.
Yes, it's just my opinion that it's unnecessary. I didn't say no one should use it or uses it - as that's obviously, not correct.

It could be cool if it came up with generic replies like Gmail does ?
'see you soon' or 'alright' or something related to what was sent
Gosh that was a big thing for me ... needing all my notifications to come though, even the Whatsapp

It does have standard replies.
