- 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.

Upgrading from a series 4 to a 9. Can’t wait. Ordered today and it’s going to be so fun to try out the new features.
Just got mine today. I’ve got to say, coming from the first generation SE, it’s worth the upgrade! The gestures can feel like a novelty, but maybe I haven’t tried it out fully yet.
Also - Apple has done a good job on forcing people to get the 9, because all of the sudden, the 8 is no longer available anywhere 😂
I have done the same. I had a first gen SE up until 2 days ago which got good use from me from swimming in both the sea and in pools, to work etc but it smashed when it fell off the bathroom sink face first when I took it off for a shower, the glass was shattered. So I bought a series 9 today and did a backup restore from that SE and while it basically looks the same, there are big differences for the better. I did see some Series 8 ones around but the price difference wasn't that much.
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.
lol, snapping like a crab
and the camera guy did not even tell her :D thanks, made this review enjoyable
I had the series 6 and bought the series 9. much snappier, ever so slightly increase in display. but at the end of the day I use it to track fitness mostly, so it fills all the needs.
Which wrist band are you wearing? Looks like it might be good for small wrists?
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
That's definitely the biggest flaw
@@shytutjust put it on the charger for an hour before you go to bed.It’s not rocket science 🤷♂️
Put it in charge while you have your morning shower. You do shower, don’t you?
@@davidjacobs6244 make the battery last longer like every other manufacturer. It's not rocket science
I usually charge the watch once a day, usually a few hours before going to bed.
The way she is using double tap looks ridiculous 😂
It's just like sign language lol
I know. I though the same thing. She wasn’t doing it eloquently like the Apple ads.
I thought I was the only one annoyed by this 😂. I was thinking that’s probably why people were looking at her weird when she tried it.
She out there looking like a crab 🦀🤣
Hi, CNET, which size are you wearing in this video :) ?
I upgraded from series 3 to a 9 and I get it tomorrow. I’m so excited
I am still in series 3.. & working perfectly fine.. i think build quality is really good of apple..
Yes, and charing twice everyday
Someone with a logical comment I seen under this video yet
Is it any brighter indoors? I found the old one too dark in general
Yes it’s brighter, same as the first ultra if I’m not mistaken
Great informative review of the real world use of the watch. I would probably still spend the xtra on the Ultra 2 for its look , battery and scroll wheel but at least I have a better choice now
It was a well welcomed update from the series 5
You double tap mad weird
lol, spaz hands
She a crab 🦀
Shut up there’s always this guys
I just bought mine ! Very cool watch 😊❤
Just upgraded from the 5 to the 9. I only take my watch to the gym and the extra storage space enables me to load more music.
I went from the 1st gen to the 9
I have the series 2 and I feel like I have to wait 2 business days for anything to load😂 so excited to upgrade soon!
If u have the SE just got to settings and activate assistant touch
I like your Apple Watch band can you send a link?
Still using my series 5 and activated the double pinch from accessibility settings 😂
Thanks for the tip!
😂😂😂 👌
How does something like spotify streaming work if you are out running and you don't bring your phone? Do you need another connectivity contract for the watch? (Never had a watch like this of any kind before).
It's horrible. This is exactly the reason behind my purchase.
Just spent two hours trying to figure it out (oh and the answer to your question is that you have to have an ATT data subscription for the watch), but the user-interface is HORRIBLE!
If you figure it out, please respond and share your revelation with me!
So excited I’m getting mine in silver storm blue band coming week. Getting both cellular and gps 😊
Same, but without gps. I’m getting navy blue with the Nike band
@@Saulboy82😂
I’ve got the ultra 1 and I’ve just brought the stainless steel 9 😂 because I forgot how comfy they are! I put my wife’s on and realised there’s a time for both watches! Like going out at night etc I’ll wear the 9 but during my work life as a carpenter it will be the ultra
I’m still using the series 2 and I loved it. Finally the 9 is worth upgrading too.
How's battery life after 7 yrs..every how many hrs need to charge..?
Same I have the 3 lol 😂 finally upgraded
@@Samanthaleigh94me too!! i had the 3!! and honestly i didn’t use it so much. on and off so when i recently started using it alotttt my battery still lasted all day until i hit the sack.
@@thaung86only lasts a day more or less on mine. I take it off charge maybe around 6:30am and by 10pm it has the low battery message.
@@Samanthaleigh94do you like it, I still have the three. Looking to upgrade lol, not sure if I should though
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.
They probably wanna fix the bugs to make sure it works really well
@@theo5675 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.
Go into accessibility and you can set it there, too.
My series 6 was doing the double tap thing and I didn’t realize until I ordered the 9
@@bessienvel09 it’s a lot more integrated on the os than the accessibly mode in the older watches.
The series 9 is my very first watch I use it a lot I love it
I wearing Serirs 7 and work perfectly fine (my first Apple Watch), hopefully can use more 3-4 years.
I got my series 3 back in 2017/2018 and recently upgraded to a 9. I think you will definitely be able to use it for many years to come
Once I get the series 9 I’ll keep it for a long time without upgrading until I actually need to cause I’m not one of those people to upgrade every year.
Yeah I still have the series 3 … I’m about to upgrade to the series 9!
@@karmelCoffeejust picked up a series 9 today at Best Buy, upgrading from a series 3 🙏
@@karmelCoffeemajor jump 🔥
Not upgrading from my series 7. Will wait for the Apple watch X next year
This will be my first iPhone watch. I am curious as to how well it performs.
I got the SE a couple of years back, and it was an amazing addition. Wish I had got the watch years earlier. You'll love it.
Huge upgrade because i have the series 1😅
This colour of the nike sports band is awesome! 😍
I never wear my watch to sleep. So uncomfortable!
I'm upgrading from the series 5, and abhor the look of the ultra.
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
Wait for the apple watch X
@@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
I agree, the same here. Disappointed.
Honestly even with the series 4 it's hard to justify
I’m still debating if I should upgrade my series 3 😅
I'd love to make a switch from the Galaxy Watch 6 but not for 18 hours on a single charge.
I got S9 today from husband. This is my 2nd iWatch
Question!
I just bought an Apple series 9, can you receive a FaceTime call?
Or can you receive a message as a FaceTime call?
I really appreciate if you answer my question. Thank you so much.
5:15 - The new find your phone feature only works with Iphone 15 and Iphone 15 pro max? So the feature won't work with a 13 or 14 pro max? Is this true?
I bought my favourite bands from Trendy Straps because this time I didn't like the new bands.
Love the cassette ring
is the find my phone available on the 15 pro max and she didnt say 15 and 15 pro
why they didn't do like the iPhone skip the number 9 and go to series 10?
I upgraded from a series 6 to a series 9 so the upgrades are definitely noticable to me 👍🏻
First Apple Watch I’ve ever had so I’m happy
It will never be as fun as “Hey Siri, where are you?”
Doesn’t seem worth the upgrade from the SE lol.
Double tap has literally been on the watches for years in the accessibility area of the watch. Apple are very obviously struggling for ideas 😂
My series 7 is performing flawlessly. I’ll wait for series 15
A logical comment 👏
I just got ride of my iPhone 6… 😂😂😂 no need to update with every Apple product .
My series 4 finally broke on me, time for an upgrade!
Been using my series 3 since 2017 is this worth the upgrade or should I wait for an Apple Watch 10
Nope, just wait for 10. I’m still on series 3. And 9 just dissappointing
I upgraded from a 3 to a 9. Way worth it. You get new features from 6 different watches!
If you happy with it don't waste your money but I think it's worth it
Does the gesture have to be that forceful?
Just upgraded from a series 3 to a series 9
I have never had an Apple Watch but for safety reasons (excuse) I decided on the 9 with cellular connectivity…
Update on comments. I have had places where the watch will auto switch to whatever wifi or LTE without the cell phone anywhere near. It is great!
Not the pixel ringtone in the back
That’s a violent tap😂
I need to standby 2 week per 1 charge 😃
I’m planning on trading in my Apple Watch ultra for a series 9. What do you think? Should I?
Yes, do it
I would only do it for aesthetic reasons tbh
Series 3 doesn’t even want to upgrade yet lol
I have a series 7. Should I get the series 9?
Always Up to date
@@Jakarta_Beats ?
How to disconnect incoming call without answering with double tap
Sorry, I do not understand the instruction. Please rephrase your question.
I think for me it will be a big upgrade cause I have a series 4 watch😀
Same I have the 5 😂
So double tap is like an action button 🤔
I love it’s mentioned how to some people who have the series 6 it’s worth the upgrade but no mention of the people who’ve never owned an Apple Watch
@sarahm9103 - Well, my wife finally got me to purchase my *First Apple Watch* this past Saturday…
I purchased the Ultra 9 series, 49mm now my wife is happy that I bought one … lol !
Technology is just wonderful !
*Have Great Week!*
G-MAN
Peace ☮️!
@@g-manstoyreviews1041 that’s great, enjoy it in good health!
@@g-manstoyreviews1041enjoy my friend
Because it wouldn’t make a difference to you. You have no comparison.
I would look at you weird too if you tapped your fingers like that. All your fingers don’t have to be straight and you don’t have to tap like you’re trying to kill something.
what about answering a phone call ? is not important?
Definitely not worth the upgrade and I have the 7, I’ll wait for the X
Why can’t no one show off the new Apple Watch faces
Do I need cellular for find my
Same design, same watch every year 🤣
Please get a Garmin and be happy 😊
Wait, you can only be able to use the new find my iPhone feature on the new iPhone? That’s lame
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!
@@BlitheDream no it shouldn’t. It uses new hardware not present in older devices.
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
it's worth it for anyone with an s4 or older.
Great… The Power Glove without the glove…
Why are you double tapping so hard 😅 that may be the cause of the "strange looks"
Fr
Not sure of upgrading from a series 5 stainless steel to a 9 stainless steel or wait another year
Wait another year
No one is buying that watch coz of some taps and fastness 😂
There's no point in the Apple watch having an action button like the Apple watch ultra, at that point just buy an Apple watch ultra 😭 like the ultra is supposed to have the most stuff on purpose
The double tap “feature” isn’t new. 🙄
Yep lol
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 🤣🤣🤣
Lol it's just like sign language
Pfff…I just upgraded from the series 3! 😅
I still can’t get into this. It’s one of those things I want to like but I dint. Like MMA and Harry Potter 🤷♂️
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.
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.
@@superiortoall22100% agree 👍
Why does she double tap so exaggerated? 😂😂😂
using the series 8, skipping don't want to look like a crab doing the pinching gesture lol
Umm double tap is not new 😂
I have an Omega
I don’t have one and I can’t see why this is so much money
This background music hurts my brain
No mention of storage?? Series 9 now has 64gb internal storage
I don’t think many people are using up the storage on them nowadays. Everyone is streaming content
@@BlitheDream 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 😄
She does? Did u not watch the video all the way? lol (at the very end)
@@BlitheDreami 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
I’m upgrading from the first Gen Apple Watch so I’m hoping the series 9 feels like a huge upgrade.
That's a heck of an upgrade to be honest, hope you like it!
You'll see the great upgrades in fitness and health app, if you are fitness kind of a person. But, battery life of every apple generation still sucks (i.e, 1st to 8th gen, don't know about the newly launched 9th gen). You can't make full day battery in any generation of apple watch.
The other companies who makes smartwatches gives a battery life, accurate fitness data and results.
Hopefully, this was helpful to you.
To be able to type on the keyboard instead of drawing out letters is a major upgrade if you have series 6
That’s a HUGE upgrade! Have fun with your new watch. I just got the 9 yesterday and I’m very happy 😊
@@cdmcgillion Thank you, I've had the new watch a couple days now and I love it. The battery life and charge time are significantly improved and I really like the ECG feature.
That stinks that it doesn't ping phones a little older at least a 13+
Not with it when I have 7. Apple product goes obsolete as soon as new device comes out. Not worth the money. Epically I hardly use the watch other than time and date.
Is it 41 mm or 45mm ?
You can get both
Biggest non feature is the double tap
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!
It covered all of the points. What were you looking for exactly?
I’ve never seen finger tapping be so annoying but well done
If Apple only had its original integrity and not a money grab. 😢
Why do you double tap like your life depends on it??! Its so weird!
A completely unnecessary piece of technology, designed to make people think they need something they don't and to give sad people something to make them feel important. My £20 Casio watch does everything I need it to and the battery lasts over 10 years.
Is it just me or does that comment make you seem like an old man?
