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 have the SE 2nd gen and it’s great for what i need it for also fairly affordable. Got it for hear rate monitor and medication scheduling but i have found it to be so useful for much more than that. It’s great not having to pull my phone out all the time for notifications and you can set up apple pay on it and just tap your wrist at checkout
