Sarah has been an Apple user for a while now, so when Apple announced their yearly Watch update with the new Series 9, she was curious to see if the Series 8 she got last year was suddenly out of date. With faster processing speeds, Siri on device, and a new double tap gesture, are these new features worth the upgrade or is her purchase safe for another year?

I think Sarah is great for this because she's kinda the target audience, those who are open to tech but aren't tech heads like a lot of us
I agree. Some of the LTT content is just so in the weeds, I stop the video half way through. Sarah is much more interesting for the regular stuff without telling me which GPU setting is necessary in the Bios to play Counterstrike 2.
why you discriminate her? she is more tech head than 90% of people i know around...
@@DegustoDelSol is she? Just seems like someone who buys every new Apple product.
Normie with too much disposable income
That is everyone at LTT :D @@neondemon5137
Yup, I had a series 3 and upgraded to series 9... HUGE upgrade. Also, I love Sarah's reviews, can we have more of those? :)
Sarah’s really fun host. She should do more unboxings.
Her Voice is really annoying tho, so high pitched
No, not really. Great designer though.
Yeah we need more Sarah!
Linus drops stuff, Sarah hits things.
1 time she dropped a ram stick in a pc if that counts? 😂
Secret shopper 2 I think
Props to the editor who added the cracked glass mark to the TV after Sarah threw the box at it
My heart stopped for a second when I saw that
Wow, Siri is on the device now. No need to take out your phone to be disappointed by Apple AI.
siri was on the series 5. so we got disappointed years ago. but we know apple is consistant with their products, so siri will disappoint us many more years :D
I can't believe it can't even make a note which would be a legitimate reason to use Siri on a watch 😂
Sarah is just so funny to watch while giving honest opinion
The edit on the TV was brutal, I hope she never saw this video 😂
Love seeing more Sarah videos! Keep up the great work LMG!
I've been using the assistive touch feature on my Apple Watch Ultra for a few weeks now which is very similar to the "double tap" feature and I find it super handy. For example, say I am riding my bike and I get a phone call. In the past I would have to try to answer it with my nose but now I can just double tap my fingers and it answers. Handy for dissmissing alarms and timers as well. I think it's handy to have. Dont expect to be able to control your whole watch though, its just a simple tool for when your other hand is busy.
i love sarah she is so bubbly and fun she has a smile that just makes you happy
Its actually 1 sec and 500 milisec to detect, not 1 sec and 50 milisec.
This pinch feature is useful for people who only have 1 hand.
The major feature will be when apple watch can detect butt clench so you can set more custom actions.
The assistive touch double tap / clench aren’t particularly consistent. Either lots of false triggers or you have to go through extra steps of an activation gesture. So far it hasn’t seemed like the S9 version makes a meaningful difference.
I always enjoy the Sarah videos, such a fun time whenever she hosts, lol.
Yes I agree, she's absolutely mad as a box of frogs, but in a good way...
8:34 Those are hundredths of a second, not milliseconds. Or you could just say “ about one and a half seconds”.
NA trying to do anything metric lol
@@NedLaskov Calling anything to do with time metric lol
Time measurement is SI, not metric, and this is a counting issue not a metric issue
Or fifty centiseconds, if they really want to be unclear.
I love Sara's style, feels happy and natural, refreshingly different from the bro-type of her colleagues.
When the double tap was announced and people online started pointing out that assistive touch already provides that functionality, I tried it out on my SE and I use it all the time now. Mostly for playing/pausing music and returning to the watch face, but I find it to work pretty well and I really enjoy the feature.
I still can’t figure out what the difference between the new double tap functionality and assistive touch is…
I heard disabled people are more likely to use something if they don't feel like it is targeting them. That's why you see those dumb commercials with the black and white segment of someone utterly failing life before they introduce the product. "look even normal people struggle with this task." plus it gives them something to market to make the new one look like it has more cool new features.
This girl is great! Fun to watch and not like a robot like a lot of other tech reviewer videos I watch and fall asleep too. Looks like she is having fun. Love the humor. Great video!
9:07 comedy
"my series 7 is my daytime watch and my series 9 is my nighttime watch" at the end got me too
Even my Watch SE can be controlled without touching it, via Gestures, and it works phenomenally well, for which I'm extremely thankful, as I'm actually disabled and need to be able to control a device even when I don't have a second hand free, as that second hand is glued to the one crutch that's keeping me (somewhat) upright.
Don't understand the beta upgrade talk... the Gesture feature has been part of Apple Watch for several years now, to be found under Accessiblity settings.
As I said, even my low-end SE has that feature, and I've had this watch for ... 3 or 4 years now, IIRC.
love sarah She should appear more
I loved my series 7 45mm. I love my apple watch ultra 1. i do not need the ultra 2. Yes i want the ultra 2 for the U2 chip, even brighter screen (although it doesnt really need to be more than 2000 nit), new interface for doubble tap, etc, but i simply cant justify upgrading the apple watch i already found as my perfect watch. maybe the ultra 3 or when i have infinite money xD
Nobody cares dude
As a woman, I like seeing Sarah review and wear different tech products like this. When I watch reviews for Apple products, it’s mostly men who encourage getting the max size in phones or watches or other brands’ headphones saying it’s worth the upgrade, but it’s much easier for me to get an idea for what size to get when occasionally other women review these products so I don’t have absurdly large tech on my arm and can tell what size to order since I also don’t have an Apple Store near me to be able to go and look at things beforehand. Just a minor thing but I appreciate it and she has a fun personality too! Thanks for the variety on this channel.
Lesa from Mobile Tech Review has been the one person reviewing tech who happens to be a woman. I'd say regardless of content over 70% of my subscriptions on youtube are men.
I was waiting for the review!! Well done! 🎉❤ and thanks a lot!
I'm sure you tried it, but every time I go to set up a new Apple device from an existing iPhone, I need to restart the existing iPhone to get it to work. I think if the phone hasn't been rebooted in a while it likes to fail. I don't think I've run a phone down to 0% for years and don't really reboot so if Sarah's similar I bet it's the same issue.
You have to open the watch gestures on your iPhone, it tells you there what each gesture is and how to activate them, you also customize how the gestures work, I have the double pinch set up to Shazam songs
I have S5 Stainless Steel cellular, I really don’t feel it’s worth upgrading I may get S10 or S11… by the way love your videos… ❤
If you tab the count on the workout it will start right away. You don't need to wait for it the count down to 1 and start you can just start once you tab on the counter.
Cant touch this… Did Jerry already do the hammertime?
I love the detail of the crack marks on the TV the editor put in after Sarah hit it 😂
I'm not a potential customer for an apple watch but i really liked the video just the way sarah does it. My only criticism is that she repeated some the meaningless marketing blabla from apple, like probably noone can make something of the amount of "neural cores" or transistors, it's just something apple puts in their keynote thats supposed to make people go "oooh" and "aaaah"😅
Would be great to point out how meaningless of the carbon rating system is and how it’s gamed.
Always has been.
I remember for example many years ago when House of Marley literally made a " green marketing promo" about their headphones beeing recycle friendly while other companies were already recycle friendly many many years before... So these are just marketing words... To do something for your planet: stop wasting evergy/fuel/etc. I literally saw friends with electric cars beeing like "I'm environmental friendly" and when I was like: we can meet up in the middle and they were like "nah I'll do 80km more because I want to"...
Like industries literally dumping mercury into seas isn't worth considering.
Also just throwing out good devices and making them impossible to repair
@@TrioLOLGamerstbf if they have an electric car and you don't, then not meeting in the middle is more environmentally friendly. Unless you were going to use public transit.
@@morosis82 it is: you are still wasting energy that comes from carbon industries. Today 70/80% of electric energy comes from petrol and carbon.
Love Sarah's smile.
I always enjoy ShortCircuit videos feat. Sarah. More please
I love how google matches all of their colors- blue phone, watch band, and earbuds.
Here I am with a Series 4 and not thinking to upgrade soon 👌🏼👌🏼
I had my Series 3 for so long until I upgraded to the Series 8. I can easily wait another few years or until there's huge redesign before I upgrade again.
Still rocking Series 7 in titanium version 💪
Sarah's videos are always the best
Sarah is the most fun! Great video.
8:33 that is a second and 560 millisecond if u wanna be precise, not 50 milliseconds
I love how apple add something out of this world like gesture controls, which galaxy watch have since 2020, truly incredible
AssistiveTouch was introduced in 2011 and it essentially is the same thing.
8:33 That's 500 milliseconds :)
Would this be a upgrade to a person that never has owned a Apple Watch. I have a Fitbit sense. That double tap finger thing I think is so cool my Fitbit is 3 years old
omg, editor, .... you freaked me out at 1:47. good job.
It would be appropriate for Apple, "You're unboxing it wrong"
Carbon neutral? What about all metals and rare earth materials used?
Props to the editor that put cracks on the TV when Sarah threw the boxes behind her
I'm still struggling to see what double tap brings over the pre existing gestures
I dont think much tbh, they are using the new neural engine for more reliable processing, but I have been using the double pinch for a while (Though its not amazing on older models) & You cant use it for as many things when using the old version
1:42 - aaaahhhh (oh you got me lol)
I like her hosting gives a different felling than ehat we usually get
just came here to say that the Peanuts / Snoopy & Woodstock watch face made my series 7 about 20000 times better, it's the only one i am using for the past few weeks.
Well got to see the WAN show set.
The fake break on the TV woke up my broken monitor ptsd lolol
I see Sarah, I click. One of my favouritest hosts, allways a fun time!
1:44 is she actually made a crack on the TV 😂
the double tap delay is okay. because when you start the stopwatch, there's a 1.56s delay too
Apple Watch Series 13 owners be like: I got your whole computer's storage capacity on my wrist
Pro Tip Sarah, that button which makes the phone ring, you can actually hold that down and the phone will not only ring, but also have the flashlight strobe super bright for the same duration as the pinging.
9:08 really woke me up lmao
They need a forest green one or pearl green or even emerald green but overall it’s way to expensive for me so you would never see me with one and she is pretty awesome lady
I like how apple's going around like they're the first to introduce the gestures, but Samsung's been doing this and it offers waay more control...
Google's been having device location across every device for years now😂
what a refreshing change of energy.
3:15 her pushing the Digital Crown with her pinky hurt my head.
4:26 *You’d want a reminder, not a note!*
I love the crack effect on the TV after Sarah throws the boxes! Sneaky editors!!!
Sarah deserves her own channel
Why
Paper is a renewable resource and so long as you aren't trying to recycle it it is fine for the environment. Especially if not bleaching it.
shes baaack
8:05 how come my watch can do double tap if it isn’t the newest one?
I hear some echo in the room, maybe some improving on sound treatment?
LMAO the end clip
Apple is releasing OS updates to their operating systems tomorrow so you should get the double tap feature without having to use the BETA
THIS!
For a stopwatch, delays on start and finish of the timer doesn't really matter as long as activation delay is consistent and shorter than the measured time snippet itself.
We want more Sarah on this channel. She’s funny, enthusiastic, and gives the Everyman (or everywoman) review of new tech (especially Apple, since most of you hate Apple).
Yeah, screw Apple!
Wait... What were we talking about again? 😅
LOL.🤣 "Carbon nuitral.." You know that`s not actually a thing right?
More Sarah is always great
The phone finder isn’t new. I’ve had that since the Apple Watch 3. Very handy but no reason to upgrade for it
The ultra wideband is. The precision finding is much more accurate.
When is the wheel 2 review coming?
Love you Linus, but Sarah is easily my favourite presenter. Funny, knowledgeable and cute as a button! More Sarah pleeeeeeeeeeease!!!!
I use double tap on my series 5 every day to answer calls?
That’s an odd way to word a question. 🙄
Carbon neutral does not mean resource neutral. Great step in the right direction though
Not interested in Apple products but when Sarah is hosting I'm watching 👍
If you wave your hand three times it calls emergency services, just like pressing the power button 3 times on modern androids. Great feature!
Yeah until you’re waving at someone to get their attention 😂
tbh it really isn't. i remember reports from last year, that ski-regions had to auto-deny emergency calls from apple-watches, because 99% of them were accidental and they clogged the emergency service line
The apple music roast gave me a good chuckle
1:45 did she crack the tv? Looks like it
i'm just here for sarah's infectious positivity
so i have a series 5, what should i do now? 6 to 8 she said no upgrade needed. 3 or 4 it is worth it. 😂
The midnight version with a blue band would make Sarah's eye really pop.
Love the cracked screen effect 🤣
The pinch is the main reason I wanted it and it works great you do have to fine tune it but I’m blown away at how accurate it is. Simple double pinch to answer and pause video is awesome and something I do daily scrolling through stuff on the watch when my other hand is full just using the hand gestures is also very nice or if my hands are dirty like oil or grease is on me. I was never an apple fan boy Android my hole life but the pixel 6 pro was so bad in bugs it drove me to try the iPhone and I haven’t left. The eco system of apple I’ll admit… it’s nice and they’ve added almost everything I’d want them two and hopefully they keep giving us what we want.
Also so far the pinch pause is for everything I used and the delay is the screen coming on. It has a feature of double tap to unlock it. Recommend you set to on because it would go off randomly. Also it doesn’t affect calls or music,videos. Screen turns on and you get prompted to double tap.
One of the reason I use Google Keep over Apple Notes is because Apple Notes app isn't supported by the Apple Watch :(
A lot of companies make nice watch bands. Almost nobody makes nice watch CLASPS. I don’t get it. Apple has made a bunch of nice ones and next to nobody else does.
Like every butterfly clasp is really uncomfortable unlike apples that sits flush with the bracelet part. Or their super nice leather magnetic clasp one they discontinued (and never made in a men’s size/style 😢) etc.
Nicest I’ve found is Pitaka’s carbon fiber band clasp.
Ms. Butt always makes me smile 😊
I really like Sarah as a presenter. She's so exicted for the tech!
I’m amazed there’s still yet to be a gen 2 AirTag.
So what your saying is
Get a watch that is a generation or 2 old?
Me using double tap on my Apple Watch SE 2 😂
OH MY GOD!! WOOOOO!! LISTEN TO THAT HORN!! 0:27 xD
