Recently got a budget of $350, which is quite enough for an AirPods Pro(2nd), but $49 less than an Apple Watch S9.

Current Devices: iPhone X(ios16), AirPods 2, MacBook, and iPad with latest O.S.

I go swimming and cycling a lot and would like to check the data collected by Apple Watch. I usually use headphones in noisy circumstances, therefore ANC is quite necessary.

    iPhone X does not get latest iOS 17. since S9 requires iPhone Xs or later I dont think this is a wise choice

    Id have said AirPods Pro 2 but since you’ve never had an Apple Watch (I’m assuming), go for the watch, pro tip try and get the series 8, there’s not much of a difference and you might even be able to get it within 350 dollars

    As stated above, the watch will not work with your phone. You’d need an older used one that hasn’t been updated to watchOS 10. And you’d be stuck on watchOS 9 until you get a new phone.
