people in the comments saying they're upgrading from a 6,7, or 8 meanwhile I'm still using my series 3 with 80% battery health
Im with ya!
You’re so cool omg
Saaaaame lol
Me too!!!!!!
Me too ..!!
Just upgraded my dad's Series 5 to the Series 9 and he's happy- plus he likes the brightness and heartrate monitor features. Since he's76 years old, the updated sensors for fall and crashes is a selling point to me personally as he's fallen before with the Series 5 and was useful.
I had the series 6 and upgraded to the 9 for the double tap feature. I have a 4 month old baby so it’s been super handy for me to answer calls or quickly check the Smart Stack for weather etc while I’m feeding/changing. Always busy and have my hands full with having 2 children so it was 100% worth the upgrade for me and the 2000nit brightness was bonus as I couldn’t see my 6 in the day😂 and I love the precision finding with my 15 pro max as I’m always misplacing it 😅. Overall both have been a 10/10 for me.
Great! apple watch is very useful for working moms, I dont have children and I have goldfish memory so my apple watch is coming in handy
Longterm review was super helpful! Thanks!
Braided solo loop is the best. Just be sure to go as small as possible, a bit too tight will loosen up to the perfect size.
Thanks for sharing, Kyle!
Cheers from Brazil!
I think your update is helpful. I upgraded to the Series 9 from the Series 7 because the battery on the Series 7 needed to be replaced and I did not want to have that done. I also do not use the double tap feature or the smart stack . I have had good luck with Velcro closures and the body of the watch and the screen have held up well.
Thanks for the review. I am planning to get this one
I have a se2 44mm & can’t justify upgrading as this model does everything I need also you may or not know if you turn Bluetooth off on your watch it charges so much faster 😊 thanks for the tutorial
I'm considering purchasing the Apple Ultra 2 as my initial watch choice.
When working out, how long does the battery last for? I have a series 2 and mine crashes all the time when working out and loses a ton of battery.
I don't use the pinch feature but this is my first apple watch very happy with it so far
I have the same watch but in midnight and love it. I had the series 8 but I decided to sell it and regretted it . I won't sell this 9 or replace it until the battery health drops WAYYYYY down. I have the GPS model only since I always take my phone everywhere. It's paired with my 14 pro max.
Upgraded from Series 3 and I find it worth the upgrade. Faster UI and I double tap just to show off to friends and family.
Dropped my series 3 watch when getting changed at work. The screen cracked and completely fell out. I’ve been looking to upgrade ever since and this has been the best review video I’ve come across. Its helped me make that decision on which model/size to get
Your sequoia/orange band is beautiful despite your concerns. I am going to get one paired with my Ultra 2. I never use double tap.
Do you think the SE to the 10 will be a good upgrade
So I had the series 3 moved to the series 7 when it launched sold it went back to the 3 and now using up the 9. Now I use the pinch feature for music start and stop coz I’m always playing music and also to quick reply pinch to reply say what I want and pinch to send. Handy when I’m cooking, working or riding the bike. Hopefully they add more gestures with the next update.
I had the series 8 and I upgraded to the series 9 for the double tap it’s very useful for me especially when I’m at work to answer phone calls without having to touch my iPhone and I got the new pink color and have the oxygen sensor working I got it before the ban happened
@Kyle Erickson shiuld we buy S9 or Ultra1????
I purchased a black Series 9 45mm (no cell) with the black sports band in October. I resisted getting a smart watch for years because it truly is a luxury item, not a necessity, but I finally caved in and I'm glad I did. I'm surprised at how useful it is. I've got two faces set up, the GMT that I use almost all the time because of its functionality, and the Solar Analog when I want a classy looking face. I tried the double-tap feature a couple of times when it came out but, meh. My most used features are navigation when I'm driving now that Apple Maps is actually useful, but especially when hiking, and messaging. For hiking I have the compass and weather apps on the GMT face. Practically speaking though, the watch came with far more apps than I need.
How many days does it work without charge? Should we get the S9 or ultra1?
@@bhawanigurung9913 I charge mine every other day. Which one you get really depends on your use case and your budget.
Do have big wrists or are u a tall person because im 5’6 and i wonder if the Watch 45 mm is going to look big on me 😅
@@cooperativagiraldosempavor5965 I do have big wrists and I'm taller, but I really think it's a matter of personal preference. One of my work colleagues is a small statured woman and the 45mm looks great on her.
Still using the series 6 here. I will wait for the X because im hoping they’ll do something special with it
I absolutely love my ultra 2 the battery is great and the accuracy and double tap is cool
Contemplating whether I should buy now, but the 10 should have a redesign
I just ordered my series 9 from T-Mobile and received it Friday and turns out it has the blood oxygen sensor working so that’s cool! Doubt I’ll ever use it but still, nice to have I guess. Coming from the SE 2nd generation i’m enjoying the bigger 45mm screen and the “updated” design with the edge to edge screen etc.
Does your band wobble on your watch?
Thanks for the info! I am considering upgrading to this from the first generation SE and i can see alot of potential from mine to this one.
I did it and it feels great. Apple gave me $90 for it and I price matched from Best Buy
I am doing the same thing! I have an OLD watch so it makes me feel like the wait was worth it!
The biggest improvement for me (not including battery life since my battery health was getting rough on my prior watch) coming from the Series 4 is how well Siri dictates, which i use all the time for messages. Even the punctuation seems better. And it's much faster. I can literally whisper into my watch at work and it dictates perfectly. It's also better for phone calls than the Series 4 by a pretty wide margin. Obviously it's faster for launching apps and things like that. But I think all of this is expected when you upgrade from a five-year-old device to the newest one (BTW, it's also worth a mention that even the 1mm extra screen real estate is nice; that was the first thing i noticed when i turned the series 9 on for the first time; having that ability for the keyboard, as you mentioned, KE, comes in clutch in some situations).
I use the double tap to pick up calls when my phone is either charging or in my pocket (when I am too lazy to pull it out)
I upgraded from a Series 1 (gen 2) 42mm that I had since the iPhone 7 release. My new Series 9 45mm w/cell is light years ahead of my old watch
I have a great video buddy. I think right now the best watch to go for is the Apple Watch ultra first generation! Particularly when it comes to battery life. I’ve had mine for over a year and I still get two days out of it. I’m up for some future meditation.
I have the series 9 and I really like it. I also have the nike sports loop. I like the loops that have the velcro. I find they fit my wrist better. I also have the blood oxygen app still working and I agree it is really not that big a deal. If Apple took it off future watches would not miss it but some might be upset. I upgraded from a series 6.
I need same your band loop nike , how i can finding?
I am hoping for a big redesign with the Series 10, the watch has been the same from the Series 7-9, I actually "downgraded" from an 8 to a 7 stainless steel because I felt like I'd take the better case over slightly brighter display
I just got a Apple Watch ⌚️ series 9 in red and 41 mm for Hanukkah last year it’s my very first Apple Watch ⌚️ I love it
I upgraded from no apple smart watch to de 9 cellular. The ultra 2 a bit too big and heavier. Veryyyyy happy with the 9. Can only recommend it.
I just found out today they had a series 9….the last time I had one was when the series 3 came out.
I use the double tap mostly to cancel alarms or a phone call when I’m working . Kinda cool to have it but is not the most efficient and wonderful feature
How do you reject a call with double tap? Mine only answers calls.
I had to sell my Series 5 before 2 years ago since I have to use that money to pay for my college. I always tell my loved ones to purchase an apple watch whenever possible due to its many benefits especially when working as nurse, working at home and tracking your exercise. I'm hoping I could get one soon since it helped me with my anxiety and notifies when I need to meditate.
I am looking to upgrade to the series 9 right now I have a series 5. The battery on my series 5 will last from 4:30 AM until 9:30 PM. I want to be able to wear it when I sleep like I used to with my series 5. So I’m going for the better battery and the upgrades.
Just ordered mine, upgrading from a SE
Same
The sport loops hold up fine... I have two of them.. I've been using the first one for 3 years... No issues... I have my backup though just in case... Also I am currently using an apple watch 7.. I still have my 6... which has a better battery.. and I may just go back to that one once my battery is toast on my 7... unless apple actually releases something worth upgrading too... But they probably won't... Basic heart rate / calorie burning is probably all I'll ever use the apple watch for anyway.
I like my d-band magnetic watch band. Never use double-tap on my series 9
Both the ECG and Blood Oxygen sensors are massive developments. Did you drop the plot ??
its not accurate
I drive a Subaru brz and it doesn’t have any steering wheel controls and it’s a manual so my hands are busy steering shifting and when I’m cruising and I need to pay attention the double tap is absolutely clutch I love that feature for sure
Hey Kyle can you tell what font do u use in your thumbnails? It looks dope. Thanks 🙏
I'm taking my first apple watch and can't decide between the s8 (100€ cheaper) or the s9. Honestly the doble tap feat isn't a thing for me... the only reason i'm cosidering the S9 it's bcs the brightness... But for 100 € i'm not sure if its worth
i have a actual watch bracelet metal one like a regular watch
I use my watch for iPhone finder, timer, texting, medication log, menstrual log and phone call.We are in 2024 already, I believe Apple will release apple watch 10 or X. I heard the people said the design will be completely different and I pray it is not round watch! Read some online articles, they thinking to add High Blood Pressure the feature I need the most. I'm so hesitate to buy the series 9 because there is slightly different than my 1st apple watch SE. I'm very impressed with the series Ultra for diving, hiking..Me personally I will wait til September 2024 and get the series 10.
Thank you for mentioning the real life battery life.
I'm thinking about getting my first smart watch and could barely find any info in reviews about it other than "it's basically how it was before" which isn't that helpful when it's your first time looking into smart watches.
Look into Xiaomi watch 4
Ultra 2 has been amazing. Battery life is mind blowing, especially while being on full cellular. I could get 3 days on cellular only. Granted I only use the watch for text/calls and telling time. Everything else is turned off.
I’ve had apple watch s9 for a month now and biggest problem i experienced is the connectivity to the iPhone 15 pro max i got one on contract. Keep asking for passcode even tho i went through settings. And missing the phone calls connectivity to the watch 6 times out of 10. Bed time app 2 out of 7 dont record anything. Bit of disappointment
If it’s asking for the passcode it’s too loose on your wrist and thinks it’s being taken off
Is the series 9 with cellular? If so do you need a separate data plan for the watch?
It comes with a cellular model too, but the stainless steel model already got cellular as a standard. Also yes, you need a subscription plan for using it. It’s not worth it though, cellular drains the hell out of the battery.
I am considering getting an iwatch series 9 for my birthday, but i don't have an iPhone. Can it work if i am not an iphone user?
No
My SE2 is good enough for me tbh
i have a 5 i want the ultra 2
Hows...the brightness in daylight compared to s8
Definitely a lot brighter IMO
i have a ultra 2 hope it last a couple years
It should. I"m still using a series 4.
I have series 9 45mm.I was upgraded from series 7 41mm.
Should update this year for ultra ? :D
Does your band wobble in you watch?
@@p.a.2712 I'm using bands from my previous series 7 41mm and they are fit fine on my series 9 45mm
Can you turn off the double tap feature?
Yes
I'm still on series 5 with 81% battery health. I'll definitely skip 9 and wait for series 10 instead. Cheers Kyle 👍🏼
I am a student and I dont have any watch, should I go for it ?
Yeah sure why not
Absolutely no need to upgrade from a 6, 7 or 8 if you’re battery still holds a day. The 10 is meant to get a redesign which would be the perfect time to upgrade
Can the Apple Watch 9 run multiple apps? I was considering getting one, but I want to be able to run two or more apps at the same, like exercise and music, or a timer.
my series 8 can run both music and workouts at the same time. Therefore id assume the series 9 will be fine
I have iPhone 13 Pro max and precision finding works well to find my Airpods pro. How come I can’t use precision finding to find my Apple watch series 9? The feature should be “VICE VERSA” to find watch to iphone and iphone to watch. How stupid is that Apple?😅
weather complication bug is still there and its irritating now
Where are you from
Sir,😊I am collage student of 2nd year cs student and I want to invest in laptop for long term like 8 to 10 year. I am planning to buy 16gb ram for future proof.
Please suggest whether to buy windows laptop, macbook air 2 16gb ram or m3pro with 18gb ram. I am confused 😕
Which one will be value for money and good for long term? 🤔 namaste
Series 7 is the best deal
Omg you;re so handsome and adorable. Totally my type ;3
Stop gap device
I forgot my series 9 had the double tap function til I watched this video lol
damn i use it all the time haha
I just upgraded from a series 4 to a stainless steel series 8. And even tho I don’t see much difference other then the aod it does feel nice knowing that my watch will last all day 😂 honestly if I didn’t get a stainless steel version I wouldn’t have upgraded at all. Just got it for a good price refurb on amazon.
i cancel my timers while coocking with double tap. specially when i have dirty hands. i can set the timers with siri
Like most reviewers .... you totally ignore us older users. Example ... you totally reject the cell option... why would you want it .. if you fall and are not close to you Apple phone or don't own a phone ... you are out of luck ... BUT... if you have the cell option, the watch can still call for help and THAT could be a life saver.
Hi there, I'm not ignoring anyone, I'm just speaking to my own personal experience which I think is what most folks will find value in. I suspect that almost everyone's videos will be missing things or not cover a particular topic, but keep in mind each video has a ton of thought and effort put into it.
I can't speak to the cell feature as the watch I have doesn't have it, so it would be irresponsible for me comment on it.
Nah... I don't use the double tap button.
Ohh come on.. let’s all admit it.. constant charging of watch is annoying!
haha, it actually doesn't bother me at all!
I don’t have one and I just ordered one 😅 Do I need it? No! I just want it for the heck of it. I don’t see myself using it as well, oh well, I might give it to someone I know after a month or so.
why do you describe everything about the watch, like design, watchos 10, etc. You youtubers remake 3 or 4 videos from 1.
Not sure what you mean. Why wouldn't I describe as much as possible? Also, I just have two video on this watch -- initial impressions, and long term thoughts. If the channel isn't for you, easiest to move on ✌️
Wearing a watch is akin to _wearing a life-meter_ . Watch your life tick away. I've not worn a wrist watch in 45 years, why should I start now with whatever Apple (or anyone else) offers?
Then don't? You don't have to lol
Because it does more than telling time. It does heart and other health monitoring on your wrist with fall detection and can call emergency to save your unconscious ass.
Why are you watching a video about a watch then?
No one's forcing you duh 🙄
you really thought you sounded smart and sophisticated didnt you 😂
Nobody realizes that apple replaced watch batteries for free 🥲 still rocking my series 5
Do they??
I don’t think that’s true, to difficult to get too
