Apple Watch Series 9 (2023)

Certain models made from recycled aluminium ; Faster Siri ; Accurate tracking ; Very bright screen

Design remains the same ; Health data needs to be shown better

The Apple Watch Series 9 is a fantastic smartwatch for iPhone users. It’s full of sensors, excellent software and high-end hardware. A redesign, or a least a freshening up of this near decade-old design wouldn’t go amiss in the future though.

Supreme 24/7 comfort Choice of size, color, and bands Extensive health, fitness, and safety features Fast, smooth, and usable performance Total, easy integration with the iPhone

Less than two days battery life with moderate use Almost no reason to upgrade from previous version

The Apple Watch Series 9 is best suited to newcomers to Apple’s smartwatches rather than an essential upgrade for anyone who has already bought one in the last three or four years. I want to restate how excellent the Apple Watch is, how seamlessly it...

Faster processor ; Brighter screen ; Gesture control ; Carbon Neutral certification (with specific bands)

Battery life hasn't improved

The Apple Watch Series 9 might look the same as the Series 8 or even the Series 7, but it has a brighter display, a faster processor, exclusive features, and a somewhat more sustainable construction – what else can you ask for? It's a superb wearable...

Brighter, more powerful screen ; Useful new double-tap gestures ; New S9 chipset

Same 18-hour battery life ; Identical design and sizes ; watchOS 10 covers most bases on older watches

After a week with the Apple Watch Series 9, and a demonstration of some of the features unavailable at launch, it's clear that it's largely more of the same again – but with a twist. Thanks to the upgraded S9 chip, for once when discussing an Apple...

Familiar design

The Apple Watch Series 9 has a faster processor, a brighter display, and a more eco-friendly build than its predecessor, making it the best smartwatch for iPhone owners.

More efficient processor = better battery life. New pink color! Brighter screen for your lovely custom watch face. Useful haptic features. Finds your iPhone way faster. Daylight tracking is nifty. Double Tap is handy.

Looks mostly the same. Just like the Watch Ultra 2, too much of the experience is dependent on your iPhone. Do you want to log your entire personality on a watch?

Gorgeous display ; Speedy S9 SiP ; Carbon neutral ; Double-tap gestures are useful ; Brighter display

Design still hasn’t changed ; Minor feature updates ; Battery life still underwhelming

Apple Watch Series 9 is a great smartwatch for all intents and purposes. The S9 SiP provides big speed boosts to Siri commands, and an improved display brightness helps in direct sunlight. But this slow-plodding rate of iterative updates is getting...

Pros: ; – 64GB Onboard storage ; – Top-notch display for a smartwatch ; – Plethora of sizes, colours, and band options to choose from ; – Extensive array of health, fitness, and safety features and sensors ; – Siri working offline ; – Double-tap...

– Design similar to last-generation Apple Watches ; – Battery life is still not the best in class ; – Some features only work with iPhone 15 and up.

While the Apple Watch Series 9 may not bring revolutionary changes, it stands out as the top-tier smartwatch, not only within Apple’s ecosystem but also when compared to premium offerings in the Android realm. Priced starting at ₹41,900, the new Apple...
