Apple Watch S9 or AirPods Pro(2nd generation)? (alien.top)

Recently got a budget of $350, which is quite enough for an AirPods Pro(2nd), but $49 less than an Apple Watch S9.

Current Devices: iPhone X(ios16), AirPods 2, MacBook, and iPad with latest O.S.

I go swimming and cycling a lot and would like to check the data collected by Apple Watch. I usually use headphones in noisy circumstances, therefore ANC is quite necessary.

Id have said AirPods Pro 2 but since you’ve never had an Apple Watch (I’m assuming), go for the watch, pro tip try and get the series 8, there’s not much of a difference and you might even be able to get it within 350 dollars

Apple Watch Series 9

As stated above, the watch will not work with your phone. You’d need an older used one that hasn’t been updated to watchOS 10. And you’d be stuck on watchOS 9 until you get a new phone.

iPhone X does not get latest iOS 17. since S9 requires iPhone Xs or later I dont think this is a wise choice
