Apple Watch Series 9 review: why you should buy it right now

 

The Apple Watch Series 9 is the perfect introduction to the world of Apple's superb smartwatches, as not only does it follow the winning formula of previous models, but it's also only going to get better over the coming months.

Supreme 24/7 comfort Choice of size, color, and bands Extensive health, fitness, and safety features Fast, smooth, and usable performance Total, easy integration with the iPhone

Less than two days battery life with moderate use Almost no reason to upgrade from previous version

The Apple Watch Series 9 is best suited to newcomers to Apple’s smartwatches rather than an essential upgrade for anyone who has already bought one in the last three or four years. I want to restate how excellent the Apple Watch is, how seamlessly it...

Apple Watch Series 9 Review

 

The Apple Watch Series 9 offers just enough improvement to remain the best smartwatch for iPhone users. Its powerful S9 processor enables hands-free double-tap gestures, on-device Siri processing, and a brighter display without impacting battery life....

Powerful processor Bright display Double-tap gesture for hands-free operation On-device Siri Precision Finding for iPhone 15 family Carbon neutral build option

Familiar design

The Apple Watch Series 9 has a faster processor, a brighter display, and a more eco-friendly build than its predecessor, making it the best smartwatch for iPhone owners.

Review: Apple Watch Series 9

 

Apple's latest wearable has a new chip, new interactions, and some serious OS updates to help you log your mental health.

More efficient processor = better battery life. New pink color! Brighter screen for your lovely custom watch face. Useful haptic features. Finds your iPhone way faster. Daylight tracking is nifty. Double Tap is handy.

Looks mostly the same. Just like the Watch Ultra 2, too much of the experience is dependent on your iPhone. Do you want to log your entire personality on a watch?

Apple Watch Series 9 review: It’s time for a change

 

It's a great smartwatch, but more of the same

Gorgeous display ; Speedy S9 SiP ; Carbon neutral ; Double-tap gestures are useful ; Brighter display

Design still hasn’t changed ; Minor feature updates ; Battery life still underwhelming

Apple Watch Series 9 is a great smartwatch for all intents and purposes. The S9 SiP provides big speed boosts to Siri commands, and an improved display brightness helps in direct sunlight. But this slow-plodding rate of iterative updates is getting...

Apple Watch Series 9 Review: Minor changes

 

The Apple Watch Series 9 looks exactly like the previous models, but it has a new Double Tap gesture that is surprisingly useful and plain cool, and the new S9 SiP makes it run a bit faster than before...

Much brighter screen ; Siri responds faster to basic requests ; New Double Tap gesture looks promising ; Most accurate heart rate sensor in the industry

No major changes at all ; Battery life remains just one day ; No round shape option ; Only works with iPhones

Apple Watch Series 9 review: Why I'm not settling for the less expensive models in 2024

 

After long-term usage of the Apple Watch Series 9, my hands-on tests found the world's most popular smartwatch is now more accurate at reading your body's health data.

Health sensors are more accurate and more sensitive Screen brightness has doubled for better outside use Improved battery life now easily lasts a full day Double-tap gesture improves one-handed use

No blood pressure tracking yet Valuable HRV data is only used by third party apps Sleep tracking is still better with third party apps Accuracy of Series 9 tracking calls older models into question

I'd recommend getting this model rather than the Apple Watch SE or the previous Series 8 or Series 7 models that you can still buy -- since the Series 9 technology will remain current for longer and is likely to benefit from future software upgrades...

Apple's substantial watchOS 11 update combined with hardware changes in the Apple Watch Series 10 have quite literally polished what continues to be the best smart watch on the market.
