I had a aluminium first generation watch and then upgraded to a stainless steel 4 with cellular. I wanted the option to enable cellular in future. Stainless steel only comes with cellular so you have to compare price with the cellular version of the aluminium watch. When I saw the stainless steel in the store I realized I would regret not getting it, and since I won’t upgrade until there’s a compelling reason, I could be harboring regrets for several years. If stainless steel doesn’t spark joy for you get aluminium. I’d always get the newest model, not something that’s already a year down the obsolescence curve.

Yes, the always on feature on the 5 can be turned off in settings.
