Hi guys

First time Apple Watch buyer here. Used to use my xiaomi band 9, but its integration is awful with Apple, so I was thinking of an Apple Watch.

My current activities include: gym ppl x3, learning to swim in shallow water pool (0.9-1.2m), running twice a week (just under 5k) and badminton fortnightly.

What’s better to buy now in 2026? Refurbished by backmarket for £325 ultra or brand new Apple SE 3 for £250 for 44mm?

Thanks
