Apple Watch Series 9 Review: Slightly Smarter and Faster

The Series 9’s new Double Tap feature and faster Siri responses make the watch feel more convenient. But otherwise, it’s largely the same as the Series 8.

Upgrading from a series 4 to a 9. Can’t wait. Ordered today and it’s going to be so fun to try out the new features.

[Jimmyfly]

I had the series 6 and bought the series 9. much snappier, ever so slightly increase in display. but at the end of the day I use it to track fitness mostly, so it fills all the needs.

Just got mine today. I’ve got to say, coming from the first generation SE, it’s worth the upgrade! The gestures can feel like a novelty, but maybe I haven’t tried it out fully yet.

Also - Apple has done a good job on forcing people to get the 9, because all of the sudden, the 8 is no longer available anywhere 😂

Hi, CNET, which size are you wearing in this video :) ?

[pritamghosh]

I am still in series 3.. & working perfectly fine.. i think build quality is really good of apple..

Just upgraded from the 5 to the 9. I only take my watch to the gym and the extra storage space enables me to load more music.

I upgraded from series 3 to a 9 and I get it tomorrow. I’m so excited

[stahl]

I’m still using the series 2 and I loved it. Finally the 9 is worth upgrading too.

This lady has the oddest double tap out of all the hands-on videos I’ve seen. No wonder people were looking at her funny, lol.

Which wrist band are you wearing? Looks like it might be good for small wrists?

Is it any brighter indoors? I found the old one too dark in general

[parkergoetz]

I'm disappointed in the battery still. How am I going to track my sleep if i have to charge it overnight so it's ready when I wake up

[MIkegrimm]

This will be my first iPhone watch. I am curious as to how well it performs.

[Randompersom]

Once I get the series 9 I’ll keep it for a long time without upgrading until I actually need to cause I’m not one of those people to upgrade every year.

[shannonbredbenner]

I just bought the series 9 after loosing my series 3 at the water park. Then 2 hours later they found it and I was surprised it still worked. But I just kept the upgrade

[raymondfranco]

Still using my series 5 and activated the double pinch from accessibility settings 😂

[SirCMC]

I wearing Serirs 7 and work perfectly fine (my first Apple Watch), hopefully can use more 3-4 years.

[infernonine]

I ordered a 9 for pickup Saturday and I’m disappointed double tap won’t be there until an update in October. I have a series 6 now and will use that for when I sleep and the new one during the main part of the day.

[gqlovalova]

I have the series 6 and although I want to upgrade, I don’t feel like I need to. The improvements are so incremental I feel like you probably don’t need to upgrade unless you have the series 4 or older

How does something like spotify streaming work if you are out running and you don't bring your phone? Do you need another connectivity contract for the watch? (Never had a watch like this of any kind before).
