    Genuinely, you’re the most friendly, fun and upbeat tech reviewer out there.

    Think I’d listen to you no matter what subject you were talking about 😂

      Thank you so much 🥰🥰

    I sold my series 6 because i didn’t feel like it is doing things better than other wearables, i would say only advantage of apple watch is the voice assistant and the look the watch gives, oh and yeah the battery life is the worse it dies in a day.so yeah not going to apple watch anytime soon.

    Until Apple gives us a way to restore our Apple Watches by ourselves, I can’t see myself ever installing WatchOS betas

    Is the “ workout zone “ also featured in indoor running ?? Greetings from México ! 🇲🇽

    Wait, people use these watches to exercise track? lol xD

    Can you access your Apple notes on Apple Watch?

    My favourite feature in Watch OS 9 is everything you talked about and demoed in the video. I really like what I’m seeing

    How was it recording distance on her watch at 3:48 when she wasn’t cycling or moving?

  12. Christina J.

    July 12, 2022 at 6:02 pm

    Does the watch cycle track now? Can you do a video on that?

  13. Mario Morales

    I have the series 3… I guess it’s time to upgrade.

    So the apple watch mirroring on your phone…
    Your watch is an extension of your phone so then your putting your extension back on your phone so why not just…. Use the phone?

    • Lexy Savvides

      July 12, 2022 at 8:16 pm

      Accessibility is a big one. If it’s hard to use the Apple Watch screen or buttons you can use the bigger iPhone screen (or voiceover) and control without touching. Super cool

    If I could specify anything about these new phones I would say keep the screen size smaller rather than larger (I’ve had a Samsung J7 Sky Pro for years that is perfect for me – YouTube and all.) Another thing I would say is instead of a full aftermarket type case, it would be nice if there were grips built into the basic case of the phone that allowed you to EASILY hold the sides without touching the screen.

    July 12, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    The notification update is nice to have. Now if we could have “locate phone” from the watch to constantly ping and light up the phone till you acknowledge it on the phone.

    I would love to see a running metrics video!

    I wear a Fitbit Sense, because, as I understand it, the Apple Watch face remains on all the time. The Sense has a face that can remain on all the time, or comes on only when one flicks the wrist. I use that setting and have to charge the watch only once a week.

    Is a watch ….jesus

    Am I the only one concerned that her heartbeat was at 94bpm while resting?

    I always love it when they say links are in the description and they aren’t.

    Thank you so much for the fun and informative video! You’ve sold me to get on that public beta asap!

    Yes please to more videos on Fitness changes to WatchOS, and in depth video on specially running

    the new watch faces are so nice

    I always wonder, why do apple watch have sleep tracking but it’s battery could not last for a whole day? Why not apple have Apple BAND and just have minimal features and could last for weeks like Huawei band and Mi band?

    • A K

      July 13, 2022 at 3:48 pm

      Even my Series 0 from 2015 lasts 18 hours man

    Great video, just download the WatchOS beta for my AW, looking forward to the new running features.

    Is the Apple Watch mirroring available on all compatible V9/V16 devices? I don’t see this feature on my iPhone 12 Pro and Apple Watch 5.

  30. deadsec

    July 13, 2022 at 1:29 pm

    It’s too bad we won’t reach half of the feature before the battery dies.😭😭😭

    When do it come out

    What’s the point of controlling your watch from the phone? Seems kind of pointless to me.

  33. Damian Hillan

    July 13, 2022 at 3:31 pm

    I think the iPhone and watch updates this year have some pretty useful features. I have indifferent for a few years

    my name is Ken Stockton and my 23yr.oldson Dakota was killed in Modesto CA. on Wednesday night by a hitandrun person and still out there. he was left to die in the gutter if anyone can help with catching the person or just help put it out there for Dakota k Stockton. thanks 🙏

    Did they add a feature for calendar to start on Monday, instead of the static Sunday?

  36. Alberto Negrete

    July 13, 2022 at 4:24 pm

    Does it give you an option to turn off the notification banner and just leave it take up the entire screen ?

  37. Larry The Sociologist

    July 13, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Damn. 94bpm resting heart rate? Lol praying for you sis

    • Lexy Savvides

      July 13, 2022 at 6:12 pm

      Lol! Standing up and talking and filming. Not my actual resting HR!!

    ohh lexyy you are back ❤

  39. Sam Melnick

    July 13, 2022 at 5:39 pm

    What a great review! Question about the sleep tracking. Did you notice if the watch still only tracks sleeping between bedtime and waketime? Outside of those times, I sometimes fall asleep during the day, and I’ve had to use third-party watch apps to track that.

    • Lexy Savvides

      July 13, 2022 at 6:12 pm

      I will take a nap in the name of science and report back 😂

    Been using the developer watchOS 9 for 2 wks. I love it. More customization & better for sleep now

  41. Garcia Vega

    July 13, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    Ok so it’s the same crap ..

  42. Francisco Zuniga

    July 13, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    On what Apple Watch Series is the mirroring going to work, or is available on series 7 only?

    • Lexy Savvides

      July 13, 2022 at 9:26 pm

      Series 6 and 7

  43. MrAmad3us

    July 13, 2022 at 9:00 pm

    Now  just needs to add food tracking and I’ll be able to cancel the last health third party apps !

  44. Pradeep Magan

    July 13, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    no steps which is one that everyone wants

  45. fredericoamigo

    July 13, 2022 at 10:13 pm

    I really like the heart rate zones!

    Please apple: make the cross country skiing mode in the workout app more like running! And, in general make the activities in the workout app more customizable!

  46. Christopher Matthews

    July 13, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Great review but is no one gonna mention her 94 bpm heart rate? Isn’t that high?

    • Lexy Savvides

      July 14, 2022 at 12:45 am

      I was standing and talking! Not resting HR. Thank you for your concern though!!

    I still have the first Iwatch. Still like it without all these new features

    Still can’t measure your blood pressure unlike the galaxy watch 4

    love your updates lexy. always informative and super pleasant. as a yank, enjoy your accent! for features; very much like the expanded fitness tracking. use that convenient feature on my current apple watch. though would appreciate some more enhancements with music. perhaps dedicated music watch face. – Mark from NorCal

    iPhone is a iPod with SIM.
    Apple Watch is a iPod Nano Touch with bands.
    so iPod is still alive but in other forms .

    I’ve been using Rolex & Hublot faces even animated faces on Apple Watch for a year and change now these faces bore me but the other features are cool

    July 14, 2022 at 9:25 am

    I’ve always had the heart rate reader, on the motion app

    Iphone sucks but iwatch is amazing

  54. Robin M Hopkins

    July 14, 2022 at 12:06 pm

    Which watch face is that? Is it the Simple, it must be the updated one for Watch OS 9, because right now it doesn’t have any ones with numbers.

  55. Sami Alrustom

    July 14, 2022 at 12:41 pm

    To get The OS 9 on your watch you need iOS 16 on your phone?

  56. Majid Fazal

    July 14, 2022 at 12:42 pm

    Love the review, please please please make a separate video on all of the Running settings and options 🙂

  57. JustJeff

    July 14, 2022 at 2:14 pm

    I got very excited when I heard screen mirroring. But I was hoping the watch could show whatever is on your phone screen. Not the other way around.

  58. DabaddestDj_84

    July 14, 2022 at 4:44 pm

    Hopefully someone can pass this on to someone at Apple but every since the first Apple Watch all I’ve wanted is for the messages and call history to be synced between the phone and watch…it makes no sense that if I delete a message on the phone I still have to delete it on the watch and vice versa and the same with calls…wondering if Apple will ever change that ???

    The Watch OS 9 keynotr has a guy running in same running shoes as mine, Nike Pegasus 38 Ekiden edition, that make me want to have an Apple Watch! But i still think Apple Watch is a nice to have than a good to have product, can anyone here convince me? I feel like a lot things you can do on it are something you essential can do without any electronic but people getting lazy think and do things and need some passive motivation and reminder to tell them they actually able to achieve a lot more. I can run without need of a activity ring and music to motivate me, I just hope to improve my running speed which my phone can already do that, and I dont do much other sports actively at all to justify that function to price ratio, I do like the band design options but it is really expensive to get more than just one, my pocket is tight now too.

  61. Alejandro

    July 14, 2022 at 9:05 pm

    Not sure why someone would use screen mirroring on their Apple Watch 🤔 I don’t think there’s any case where that new feature would fit

    I got an Apple Watch at the right time ⌚️

    C’mon Lexie, you didn’t mention medication reminders! This is so helpful.

    Nothing is as smooth as Apples ecosystem. All of the products work so smooth. I record and shoot on my 13 pro and air drop it to my iPad Pro for editing in seconds

  66. Reicanof

    July 14, 2022 at 11:59 pm

    I am so looking forward to this! The modular face is my go to watch face and the fact I can change the background color is nice!

    What about music? Do we now have album art work on the screen when playing a song?

  68. Joey Ragan

    July 15, 2022 at 1:10 am

    Do you still need to have a sleep schedule set to get a the sleep metrics?
