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.

    Apple need to do a Flexible Band watch with a Flexible OLED screen that just wraps around your wrist!

    I’m happy today for my weekly returns of $30000 for my crypto investment. I never new it will come true. At first I thought it was those bots online

      You can also look her up on the web for more information

      I’m from Netherland, I and two other of friends attended a seminar where Mrs Gwen gave a wonderful talk…hence, we invested and testified. She’s really a guru. Very beautiful and smart. And I told my friends, if not for my medical profession I would have ask to learn apprenticeship from Mrs Gwen.

      If it is Mrs Gwen Irene Hodges I can testify to that she absolutely has made it very easy for me to make money with very powerful guidance and step she offered to me . I am targeting $570k before the end of the year with her guidance

      The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Gwen Irene Hodges.  I got recommended to her and since then my financial life has been a success.

    • Walker Fada

      September 20, 2023 at 12:34 pm

      Indeed success in cryptocurrencies trading depends mostly on the competency of the broker. He/ she can “MAKE or MAR” your finance. So, look inwards.
      It’s lucrative to invest in cryptocurrency.

    A more round display is what I’m hoping for next year. I know Apple is all about making their stuff stand out (think white headset) but come on.

    • OW

      No thank you, I have the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic along with the Apple Watch Ultra; on a smart watch I prefer the square shape, I can’t stand looking at information on a circle watch especially if you have to scroll.

    • David Jacobs

      September 20, 2023 at 11:41 am

      @OW100% agree 👍

  4. Richard Smith

    September 20, 2023 at 9:41 am

    Lol who cares about double tap its just a galaxy phone feature on a watch lol

  5. Lee Soon Fatt

    September 20, 2023 at 9:42 am

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

  6. Hornetclaw

    September 20, 2023 at 10:04 am

    No one is buying that watch coz of some taps and fastness 😂

  7. Brendan McCann

    September 20, 2023 at 10:19 am

    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.

    • James

      September 20, 2023 at 10:59 am

      lol, snapping like a crab

    • mike stipe

      September 20, 2023 at 12:33 pm

      and the camera guy did not even tell her 😀 thanks, made this review enjoyable

  8. Parker Goetz

    September 20, 2023 at 10:52 am

    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

    • Parker Goetz

      September 20, 2023 at 12:03 pm

      @Oaag231 lol ya thats all fine but seriously 18 hours is just absolutely unacceptable for an expensive product like this. No suggestions make it better. It’s just unacceptable

    • Anthony Lee

      September 20, 2023 at 2:21 pm

      That’s why I went with the ultra this time

    • JerseyRed Devil

      September 20, 2023 at 2:49 pm

      That’s why you need to spend more money and get the new Apple ring. Then they can make a smart pad to sleep on when you need to charge the ring. I can’t wait for the Apple shoes that will walk for me. Just sent them your pay check. 😂

    • Martijn van der Wal

      September 20, 2023 at 4:59 pm

      It only takes 8 minutes to charge for 8 hours of sleep tracking

    • Paul Pivaral

      September 20, 2023 at 5:23 pm

      @Rorybeen a flaw since Apple Watch 2, still dont get why they can’t get a better battery . I love my Apple Watch but biggest flaw is the battery !

    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

    • Howdidhenotseeme

      September 20, 2023 at 5:04 pm

      Wait for the apple watch X

    • A-DUB

      September 20, 2023 at 5:11 pm

      @Howdidhenotseeme I really would be willing to update to the ultra 2 but I can’t justify the price. To me that’s a worthy upgrade from my series 6 but I’ll like just wait for the Apple Watch X or ultra 3. By then the battery degradation on my 6 would be significant enough to rationalize buying a new Apple Watch to me despite the incremental upgrades

    • ThisGuyHere

      September 20, 2023 at 5:57 pm

      I agree, the same here. Disappointed.

    • TheUltimateJimbob

      September 20, 2023 at 6:33 pm

      Honestly even with the series 4 it’s hard to justify

  10. Jose Pineda

    September 20, 2023 at 10:55 am

    Wait, you can only be able to use the new find my iPhone feature on the new iPhone? That’s lame

    • Blithe Dream

      September 20, 2023 at 1:51 pm

      Yes that’s my only big problem with the watch tbh. I have the iPhone 14 pro max and it should have been able to work with it!

  11. zafir bleach

    September 20, 2023 at 11:28 am

    Same design, same watch every year 🤣

  12. KiloIndiaAlphaNovember V2.0

    September 20, 2023 at 11:39 am

    I’m planning on trading in my Apple Watch ultra for a series 9. What do you think? Should I?

    • vacuumcleaner3000

      September 20, 2023 at 12:40 pm

      Yes, do it

    • Blithe Dream

      September 20, 2023 at 1:50 pm

      I would only do it for aesthetic reasons tbh

  13. Kris

    September 20, 2023 at 12:21 pm

    The way she is using double tap looks ridiculous 😂

    • Anthony Lee

      September 20, 2023 at 2:23 pm

      It’s just like sign language lol

  14. xavi lopez

    September 20, 2023 at 12:40 pm

    In a way if in you in the hood gotta be careful when doing those gestures a homie might take that that you throwing gang signs 😂. He gonna be like you banging what’s that you throwing where you from 🤣🤣🤣

    • Anthony Lee

      September 20, 2023 at 2:25 pm

      Lol it’s just like sign language

  15. Joe Bogger

    September 20, 2023 at 12:41 pm

    sounds like, hey it’s not worth it but we have to praise it, because we want Apple to keep sending us devices what we make a living of

  16. D S

    September 20, 2023 at 12:51 pm

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

    • Blithe Dream

      September 20, 2023 at 1:48 pm

      Yes it’s brighter, same as the first ultra if I’m not mistaken

  17. Inferno Nine

    September 20, 2023 at 1:02 pm

    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.

    • Anthony Lee

      September 20, 2023 at 2:24 pm

      They probably wanna fix the bugs to make sure it works really well

    • Inferno Nine

      September 20, 2023 at 3:54 pm

      @Anthony Lee the touted it so much during the event should have been ready for release how much they hyped it. I’m actually thinking of canceling my order now and using my 6 for another year.

  18. Matt

    September 20, 2023 at 1:06 pm

    No mention of storage?? Series 9 now has 64gb internal storage

    • Blithe Dream

      September 20, 2023 at 1:49 pm

      I don’t think many people are using up the storage on them nowadays. Everyone is streaming content

    • Matt

      September 20, 2023 at 2:43 pm

      @Blithe Dream It’s one of the reasons I’m upgrading. You can store your music and podcast to the watch. For me I like to leave my phone in the locker at the gym. I can stream directly from the watch and the extra storage is key. It’s like a iPod nano on your wrist 😄

    • Castro Mk7.5

      September 20, 2023 at 4:57 pm

      She does? Did u not watch the video all the way? lol (at the very end)

    • Martijn van der Wal

      September 20, 2023 at 5:00 pm

      @Blithe Dreami know a handful of people with an Apple Watch, none of them have a cellular model so storage is nice for storing more podcasts and music to the watch

    Is it 41 mm or 45mm ?

  20. Home Tech

    September 20, 2023 at 2:09 pm

    No wonder you got staring looks doing double tap you looked look a lobster claw, do you really have to Over enthusiastically tap your two fingers?

    Hope CNET was well compensated for this video by Apple.

    There was a time when CNET actually had informative reviews and valuable opinions. It has been so long.

      ooooooo kay!

    You double tap mad weird

  23. Humberto Bracho

    Siri is useless…

    September 20, 2023 at 9:16 pm

    Why didn’t you just pay attention to your friend instead of pinching and clenching?
