Apple Watch Series 9 In-Depth Review: Worth Upgrading?

dems some hairy arms

Battery life? I was about to get the 8 but the 9 has more battery and it had the double tap finger

Im still using mg series6 no plan to upgarde.

I don’t want to charge my watch every night, looks cool but a bit of a waste for me.

It's annoying that Apple watch has one of the best sleep tracking, HR tracking and GPS tracking capabilities out of all watches, including sport watches. Yet that battery life is disgusting. It's the only thing keeping me from buying it, after owning garmins for so long, having to charge yet another thing daily, no.

How do you download the health and fitness data to your computer?

Which screen size is he using in this review?

The activity is not intuitive. I just want steps. But you can’t just show steps. You have to navigate to it. And the steps are completely false and way over counted. Fitbit was better at that.

I wish you could see any active workout on your phone. It would be great for any gym endurance machines

What I don’t understand about the Apple Watches. I’ve had a series 5 for a while. If I need to charge it once a day… usually when I go to sleep… how can I track my sleep? If I sleep with it on it’s going to be dead at some point in the day when I need it to be on!? Confusion.

This is my first apple watch that I have bought. before I had my family members old series 2. This video was extremely useful and helpful. This is my first time discovering this channel and I have subscribed and liked. Keep up the great content!

first of all the mic quality is so poor, and second of all whats the refresh rate of the series 9 display ?

sorry as a long time (30+ years) user of Apple computer - I am finding it hard to justify the existence of the Apple Watch (I have a series 9) .. it really is just a glorified remote control for an iPhone but with waterproofing (of such) and body sensors, but outside of that I wish Apple would devote more time to sorting out their computers rather than consumer products.

I am using the series 5, but honestly even the series 9 is not a big upgrade for me. OFC the tech improved inside, but overall the usage, the feel, the whole experience barely improved. They should have improved its battery time, which one the key feature, but Apple does not want to improve the battery time of its phone and watches. It is like the iPhone. Stucked and does not move forward, or when its move, it is moving the wrong direction.

Thanks - I don't currently have an apple watch and I was wondering what to get. I'm looking at the 9 but would an 8 be just as good? What one or two features of the 9 make it worth getting?
I enjoyed the video, especially the gps section

“24 by 7”

If apple make a battery like garmin i would surely get one of these apple watch series,poor battery is my only concern of these watches

Where is that bracelet from? Thank you 🤙🏼

Ray was wondering if you have a similar video for HR sensors. Looking for a watch for my indoor/outdoor cycling to record HR. My current Garmin Instinct HR is terrible after about 18 months of usage.

I love my series 9 I use it alot

Thank you for the video. I just bought an Apple Watch 9. What time of day do you find to be the best time to charge the watch in order to not miss much for the health tracking?

I'm a dinosaur on apple watch 3 - hey, it still works perfectly and battery life says 93%, it lasts about 18 hours - I'm interested in the always on display and different watch faces to my boring old ones. I imagine for those on anything vaguely newer this is similar but I'd like to see the options. Great review

I was wondering how the blue flame band looked with the midnight case. I am going to get one now. Thanks.

This review is very much focused on who already owns one of these.

Do know whats the problem with charging. Will charge my phone at the end of everytime my days end anyways

When do you find time to charge the watch if you depend on wearing it for your night time activities?

I’m moving from a Watch 3 to a 9, so I’m looking for how much of an upgrade this will be. I don’t think Apple expects you to upgrade every year, but maybe every 3-4 years. My 3 is still running great with good battery life. So this jump is pretty big for me.

Your reviews are great, thats for sure. But i think world needs to know one aspect: Apple watch 9 sucks from fitness point of view. Sucks. Period.
I have been apple products user since 90s actually. And series 9 was my first Apple watch. I bought it because i wanted to have great fitness "partner" and i believed in Apple simplicity and i thought that it is there also when using Apple fitness side. But it actually sucks big time!!! The UX (meaning architecture) is really messy (I mean really, there is no logic inside).... there is a ton of pre-programmed profiles but non of them makes much sense. For example x-country skiing does not include distance (who the f*** desinged that profile???) and last but not least - you can not design fully your own profile from scratch (when you find out that pre-designed profiles were designed by individuals who have never done any sport themselves). So - if you want to use Apple watch for different kind of training - use something else. Because Apple Watch sucks from fitness point of view. And the most annoying thing - it is all there - in the watch. All data you need etc. You just can not put it work like you need. It sucks!!!

How can we hang call without answering the call with double tap

$359 for the GPS 45mm version at Amazon renewed

Surprisingly high quality, thank you.

what size is this one

A completely unnecessary piece of technology, designed to make people think they need something they don't and to give sad people something to make them feel important. My £20 Casio watch does everything I need it to and the battery lasts over 10 years.

Apple Watch or Venu 3? What do you recommend?

Hairy arms bro😂

lol u said no one would go from the s8 to the s9. I did but that’s cuz Apple didn’t want to do anything bout the scratches and scuffs on my screen

Hi DC, How many size is your wrist? And the AW you are wearing is 41 or 45mm? Thank you

Hopefully you can see Fox News and NOT CNN LOL

It’s Absolutely amazing! Works fast . You will instantly fall in love , light years better than the 8 !!!

Is there any difference in GPS activity battery life between the 41 and 45mm watch? My GF just bought the 41mm Series 9. Just trying to work out how long she can go on a charge. Also how long will it go on the ultra low power mode?

Quick Actions works well for me on the Apple Watch Ultra 1 and it is very similar to the Double Tap feature. Granted I'm sure that it's more reliable on the new watches so I understand why Apple hasn't pushed it to the older watches but I can dissmiss notifications, stop alarms etc by double tapping my fingers using Quick Actions and it works maybe 80-90% of the time. Good enough for me. I think maybe the Ultra 4 will be when I upgrade.

Just bought one the last one I had was a series 2 lol

I have a fenix 7 ss but keep looking at this one mainly because I didn’t use much of fenix functionality in a hot country. Plus that screen of course is something else. Also I recently switched from android to iphone. Kind of on the fence about it charging once a day would be a bummer

I bought apple watch 9 black color and paint already peeled on the one edge, I barely used it.

Should Apple have a Whoop-like setting that gives you heart rate data and max battery life? I don’t like Whoop’s subscription model, but I can’t imagine charging an Apple Watch more than once per day for 24/7 wear.

Why I don’t have double tap but I have a series 9 watchOS 10.0.2

Is it true that if you shift more than a single gear at a time on your drop bar shifters then it shows the time via double tap?

how can i get the blue apple watch strap.. kindly drop a link

I love the time and energy you invest in your videos

Like the way you compare the apple watch sensors with more robust sensors.
