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!

What features are important to you?

We have series 6 and there have been no really compelling features that made me think I need that.

We recently got a friend a refurbished series 7 and that has already triggered fall detection when they stumble and helps monitor sleep.

Here is Apples refurbished site that has full new watch warrantee. Amazon also has refurbished items with a shorter warrantee.
