Asking for one for Christmas, what model isn’t “too old” at this point but still affordable? (alien.top)

Hi, I’m a 30F who never really spends on myself at all and I’ve never had any gadgets besides my phone ever. My Mamaw is asking for a big gift idea and she spends up to $400. I thought now was the time to get an Apple Watch I’ve always wanted! I’d like to go with an older model that is MUCH more affordable (maybe like the $200 range?) but I know Apple starts messing up their older products. So any advice on a model to go with that will be reliable for several more years yet not break the bank, a sweet spot so to say? I don’t need anything super fancy just one that does the job, thanks!

I bought a 6 a couple months back and don’t regret it. I will say getting a 7 gets you a keyboard. I use the mic for inputting words instead of a keyboard, so no big deal to me. Plus I downloaded a keyboard for it, so, the 6 is just fine for me. The SE 2nd gen doesn’t have the same features of the 6/7/8…. I’d look at the specs and see if that works for you.
