I think they’ll all be waterproof, but as for special sports features, how about an ultra-low-power GPS receiver that’s just arriving on the market around the time the Watch goes on sale? Apple often uses enabling new technologies in its new product classes. And think about it: there isn’t much use for a GPS receiver in the Watch (as opposed to the tethered iPhone) except for the specific case of tracking movement while exercising without a phone.
It would be one mean thing to mention at the last minute, and it would explain the seeming inconsistency you see in the order of the Watches and their prices.
Personally I think the Sport model will be cheapest, but the above scenario isn’t beyond the bounds of possibility.
