Which is Better? Stainless Steal or Aluminum Apple Watch?

Hi Everyone, so I want to upgrade my current watch that I have that is the Series 4 44mm Aluminum Watch GPS to one with Cellular. The question is do I stick with the Aluminum or do I go ahead with the Stainless Steal? What is the difference? I have always had the aluminum but I have never used the watch as much as I do now. Please help!

Thanks!

Apple Watch Ultra Wayfinder Bezel Does Not Show Lat/Long numbers - Always Updating... Hi, It's always showing Latitude: ---.----- and Longitude: ---.----- Updating... Watch OS version is 9.0.2 (20R8391) -- It started after I updated the OS on the watch. Until then I remember seeing it working. Cellular is not setup on my watch and I am not going to set that up yet. The Compass app on the Ultra works just fine. I've tried rebooting the watch, resetting the watch, rebooting my phone - but to no avail. Anyone else seeing this issue? It's terrible that the one new face that is unique to the Ultra watch is buggy! Cheers!

Outdoor run race route Hey, I've got the latest update for the apple watch and was keen to compete against my previous runs. I have done the same 'route' including start & stop same spot. Same duration run. Exact same course many many times before. but when i select outdoor run - route - nothing appears. I've given it a few days to collect the data and hope they will appear but nothing. I have checked with other apple watch users who run less frequently and have completed less runs on their routes and theirs are appearing. So not sure what i'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Apple Watch Cellular vs. GPS I am currently looking to purchase the series 7 apple watch. This is going to be my first ever apple watch. I am just stuck on which one to get, I want the GPS one as I don't have the money to pay extra monthly for cellular. BUT I was wondering.. I always have my phone with me so would I still be able to make calls or send messages through the watch when my phone is with me? Like what are the differences between the 2 watches when my phone is always with me? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

First off unless you are going to commit theft it is Stainless SteEl. The Stainless Steel model is more corrosion resistant and harder to scratch. That model also has a sapphire crystal rather than Ion-X Glass to it is also more scratch resistant.
