I have an Apple iPhone 11 as well as a Google Pixel 6.

My boyfriend wanted to buy me a smartwatch for my birthday, it was his idea, so I spent a lot of time researching what to get.

I decided on the Apple Watch, because it seemed to have the most accurate sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring, and those things were the most important to me.

I had decided to get the SE2, but then my bf suggested I get the S9 (which is double the price, and I NEVER would’ve even considered getting it on my own)…

So I did a bit more research and figured the ECG it comes with would be cool to have, as well as the temperature measure for cycle tracking, the always on display and the pink colour it came in seemed to suit me better…

So I decided to get the S9 and I ordered it but I noticed on the Apple Watch subreddit it seems the newest update has infinite bugs and a lot of people are having issues with their watches.

I’m starting to think I’ve made a mistake.. in addition, in order to be able to use the S9 I had to update my iPhone from iOS 16 to 17, and now it’s super slow and laggy and has so many bugs.

I don’t know if they’ll ever fix the bugs or if I just permanently ruined my phone that I’ve only had for a few years.

All this has me wondering wtf I should do now- should I return the watch and get a Pixel watch instead? But those seem to have many issues too.

Please help need advice
