    A lot of hype for a feature they’ve already implemented. I’ve been using this feature for some time on my Apple Watch 5. Check Accessibility > Quick Actions. It appears all they’ve done is expand where/when you can use it, and publicized its existence.

    Apple already has a feature with finger tapping and fist closing. Why are they saying it’s new?

      apple being apple, its just marketing

      Yes. Since Apple Watch 6. I was hoping at least it was improved since it’s being brought up again but apparently not she said it doesn’t always work..

    I can’t wait to spend $$$$$$$ just so I can double tap and not see a smaller processor and see how quick Siri processes everything.

    The Series 9 has a better screen this time much wider and almost on par with Watch Ultra I would like to see the interface become dynamic island also but that’s wishful thinking. ????

    These guys really convince themselves that any mediocre Apple “upgrade” is a game-changer

      It is a game changer

    Double tap is not a new feature. My apple SE can do it.

    If I had money I would be ordering this new iWatch right now. My parents and I are using older vision iWatch’s series 4 for my parents and series 5 for me. We really need to upgrade our watch’s as the battery isn’t lasting as long as it used to. This watch would be a big upgrade from those older series.
