I do. I have:
Apple Watch Series 2 Aluminum Gold
Apple Watch Stainless Steel
Apple Watch Sport Space Gray
Apple Watch Sport Gold
I got the Apple Watches in different styles for- fashion reasons. Not that I'm a fashion plate kind of guy, just that some occasions might call for a different look. So along with the different case colors and texture, I can swap out the bands to appropriately accessorize.

Watches are the only form of jewelry I wear, and all are elegantly bling free.
I got the Series 2 because I wanted a brighter screen and faster processor, and the GPS might be useful one day. Also, there was an option with a brown (Cocoa) band and I want one.
As it turned out, I've yet to notice the speed improvement of the S2.. It may be faster in some respects but so far it hasn't revealed it. Outdoors I notice no increase in brightness. None indoors for that matter. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison yet. But since I need that to confirm any brightness increase, the 1000nit vs 450nit brightness is not significant.
This leaves the GPS. I'm not a runner, so I don't have a primary need for it. When I get around to using it, I may think "Wow,
this was the killer app!". Or not.
My next Watch will either be a Series 1 Space Gray or a Nike (just because I like the look).
