Apple Watch Series 1 or 2?

I'm trying to decide if I should shell out the extra money for the Series 2 or save a bit and get the Series 1. The rose gold series 1 is on sale at target right now for $200. I don't really care about the GPS feature on the Series 2 or the fact that it's waterproof. I'm leaning towards the Series 1 since it's on sale.

I wouldn't buy an older-gen Apple product if I could help it. They stop supporting them and developers stop making apps for them.

2 because it's waterproof

1 is just splash proof, so I can't wash dishes, wash a car, take a shower or give the kids a bath without taking it off

I'm too paranoid for that.

This is a good point. I'm constantly washing dishes, doing bath, etc. with my toddler.

I got a series 2 and love it. The gps is nice, and I feel safer knowing it is waterproof. The guy at Best Buy told me they are the same generation, so it just depends on the features. The previous model the 0 was the previous generation. That being said, I chose the series 2, just in case.
