I know I could just skip the LTE service but then why am I getting stainless steel other than I want the more weighty device and better option for not getting scratched.
When I wanted to get my first Apple Watch in 2015, I was juggling between the stainless steel and aluminum sport, then decided to go stainless steel and ever since then got 'addicted' to it.
Yes the steel version is quite a bit more expensive than aluminum, but it looks more like a 'proper watch' to me, as in I can wear it in all occasions and it looks a lot better as well.
Perhaps it was a good move by Apple to place all their stainless steel and ceramic models to feature just LTE alone, in order to 'up' its prestige status. Overall, the price hasn't been any cheaper. Instead after including LTE, price went up even further.
We'll I'd say in aesthetics wise, stainless steel with some hairline scratch wear looks classic with a lot of character in them.
