AW9 or AWU (alien.top)

Really torn on which to go with.

AW9 - $539 cad AWU - $899 cad

Newer processor in aw9 and some additional benefits that comes with that

Yet the AWU has far better build quality and screen. Won’t scratch or break as easily. I’m relatively light on my watches but it does worry me.

Ultra has nicer screen but both go up to 2000nits so equal there.

I’m also very interested in the Apple Watch X as it’s rumoured to have more health features like possibly blood pressure monitor.

So if that’s the case I’m feeling like saving the money and getting the newer device. Sacrificing build quality. But most likely sell it in the fall and get the new Apple Watch X next year.

If you're "relatively light on your watches" you don't need an Ultra solely for sturdiness. I am the type of person who bangs my watch on tables, walls, cabinets, etc constantly and have never so much as cracked the screen on a S5 or S7. Also, I wouldn't hold my breath for blood pressure monitoring on the next model as the tech isn't really there yet as far as I know. Would love to be proven wrong, as hypertension runs in my family, but I just can't see it being ready yet.
