I honestly cannot even tell the difference between the stainless steel and the aluminum model. You're literally paying hundreds of extra dollars for a slightly different casing material. It seems nuts to me.
As someone who has owned both a stainless steel and aluminum version, there is a HUGE difference. The case of the stainless steel one is less prone to dents and physical damage, and it’s very difficult to scratch the sapphire-coated screen. I switched from the stainless steel to aluminum with the series 3 and regretted it within a couple weeks.

I’m torn between buying the base sport model and upgrading more frequently or getting the stainless or titanium and upgrading less frequently.

That’s exactly what I thought. Amazon needs approval from Apple to discount products, yeah? So, Apple already said ‘sure, whatever it takes to sell them.’
did you just make that up?

Yep, I have a Series 1. Wasn't really planning on upgrading, I was going to wait until the latest version of watchOS no longer supported the Series 1 (probably next year,) but I'm a sucker for Titanium (both of my "dumb watches" are Titanium, as is my wedding ring.) I might just go for Titanium now, and then wait for series 10 or something before upgrading again.
