   I bought this watch after I dropped my series 3 and cracked the screen. Was torn between buying an SE version and an iwatch9 but really glad I spent the extra money. The always on function is great and saves you flipping your wrist all the time and the larger screen size is really noticeable when you compare the two. Lots of excellent health monitoring apps and a range of faces and complications make it look great too. Setup was quick and easy and I’ve kept my old watch as a spare – they are both still connected to my phone and it automatically switches between whichever I am wearing which is great. Charging is really fast; optimized for 80% but you can easily override this if you’re out for the day and want full charge. My only deliberation was on the strap. I’d previously had the sports band and wasn’t sure on the fabric loop. Having said that after a few days wear, the fabric loop is much more comfortable and easily adjustable. Also means you’re not likely to drop it taking it off. It doesn’t quite look as professional for work however so I purchased a leather strap to swap for then! Buy it, you won’t regret it.

   Promptly delivered and well packaged. Quickly set up to replace my previous watch and like all of my Apple products just works and works well. Only slight let down is the accuracy of the oximeter which seems to regularly overestimate by around 4-5% – not a huge issue for most people but important to me due to a permanent chest condition and low oxygen levels. Obtaining a reading isn’t always easy with the watch being quite fussy around position and fit. I’ve still awarded 5 stars however due to the overall performance of the watch – expensive but you get what you pay for!

   Bought this for my wife’s birthday. She has had several branded fitness trackers that just don’t last, so when her last one died, just before her birthday, I decided to get her this.

   Right out of the box it looked and felt like a completely different class to her previous smartwatch/trackers. It looks and feels like the high-quality product you’d expect from Apple. It was very simple to set up and sync with her iPhone. The app is easy to navigate and use, all the stats she needs are there and easy to access. It’s the first time I’ve seen her completely happy with a fitness tracker (yes, we know it’s capable of so much more, but this is what’s most important to her). I’m sure she’s only just scratched the surface of what it can do, but what it does she’s very impressed with. The only negative she’s mentioned is the short battery life, it needs charging almost every day. But then, given how much it does compared to other smartwatches and trackers, it shouldn’t be a surprise.

   The Apple Watch Series 9 [GPS 41mm] is an impressive smartwatch that combines style, functionality, and advanced health features. The pink aluminium case paired with the light pink sport band looks sleek and modern, making it a great accessory for daily wear or workouts.
   The fitness tracking capabilities are outstanding, from step counting to detailed workout metrics, and the addition of Blood Oxygen and ECG apps adds a significant health-monitoring advantage. The Always-On Retina Display is vibrant and easy to read in any lighting condition, and the responsiveness is top-notch.
   I love that it’s water-resistant, so I can wear it during workouts or even while swimming without worry. The integration with iPhone makes notifications, calls, and apps seamless to use.
   Whether you’re upgrading or buying your first Apple Watch, the Series 9 is a fantastic investment for both fitness enthusiasts and tech lovers. Highly recommended!

   How often do you upgrade your smart devices? I upgrade my iPhone every 2-3 generations, the same goes for my iPad Pro. But what about the Apple Watch? I don’t believe the majority of people upgrade every year, or even two or three years. The incremental improvements to each generation of Apple Watch appears so minor that you’d struggle to see the difference if two successive devices were compared against each other.

   Which is why I’ve waited so long to upgrade from my pensionable Series 3. I’ve had it since shortly after its release at the end of 2017. 6 years is a long time for a gadget, especially one that is attached to my body every single day. But I’ve struggled to see the reason for upgrading, despite my Series 3 become less and less reliable over the passing years. The screen was sometimes washing out and made it difficult to read, especially outdoors. The finger gestures to swipe up and down rarely worked, and the crown dial was almost fused to the watch it was that difficult to move. The heart beat monitor was sporadic at best, and it was pure fluke that it ever recorded any meaningful data from a workout. Yet, still I wore it. Mainly because as well as telling the time, the haptics were brilliant and a more reliable way of knowing when a message or call was coming in than my phone which I have on silent and regularly put down and forget I’ve left it behind.

   I’d been waiting for a big development of the Apple Watch to tempt me into buying a new one. Every new generation improved all of the health tracking functions a little bit at a time, occasionally adding new things like sleep tracking. What I was really hoping for was a blood pressure monitor, something that Apple have submitted patents for but it still hasn’t made its way to the Watch yet. As someone who has migraines from an early age, I’ve found that a migraine attack often coincides with a spike in blood pressure so a means of tracking this might help in anticipating the next attack. It looks like I need to wait a little longer though for that functionality.

   Despite this still not appearing, I felt that Series 9 was the time to finally upgrade. The vast majority of this generations improvements are subtle. It’s got a new processor that is faster than the previous one, which is great but honestly how often to you notice the step up in performance? Especially on a watch that isn’t going to be doing a lot of heavy lifting processor wise. The screen is twice as bright as the previous generation, going up to 2,000 nits. I’ve certainly noticed that the screen is easy to read even in bright sunshine, at least compared to my Series 3 anyway. It also goes down to a very low 1 nit brightness, which is useful if you wear your watch to bed as a sleep tracker.

   There’s an improved Ultra-wideband chip which helps finding your other apple devices such as phones, earphones and smart trackers. Siri no longer needs the word “hey” adding before it’ll wake up to your requests. But, generally, there aren’t many ground breaking improvements.

   The battery life is still as unremarkable as ever. Compared to most other smart watches the Apple Watch has always been pretty poor. Long-time users will be well used to this, and will have developed their own way of managing the battery, but new users may be disappointed or shocked at the battery life on an Apple Watch. Apple always claim an “all day” 18 hour battery life, and in fairness is based on plenty of use during the day, but it’s still less than impressive. The obvious way to manage your battery is to charge it every night. Take it off your wrist, put it on a bedside charger and it’ll be good to go when you wake up in the morning. But, what if you want to use it as a sleep tracker. The Apple Watch is actually really good for use as a sleep tracker, and gives you a lot of interesting data about your sleep patterns…but when do you charge it? I personally take it off my wrist for a quick charge when I get into bed at night as I’m usually still on my iPad or reading a book for at least half an hour. Then I put it back on again when I go to sleep. From 100% at midnight the Series 9 has been around the 30-40% mark come 11pm. That includes around 7 hours as a sleep tracker, general day use and 30 minutes on the treadmill and walking the dog. Note that for the last few generations the Apple Watch now has a permanently on screen, so you don’t need to lift your arm to activate the screen.

   There is one big improvement for the Apple Watch Series 9 though. Double Tap. This was demonstrated in the Apple launch show in September, and is a means of controlling certain functions on whatever the current live app is by tapping your thumb and index finger on your watch hand together. If a call is coming in, tap your thumb and finger to answer it. If an alarm is going off, tap your thumb and finger together to silence it. This means you’re able to interact with your Watch without your other hand. That might sound a bit daft, but in practice I can imagine that being really useful. I use timers a lot in the kitchen and I’ve often got greasy or floury hands when a timer goes off, so this could well be a useful function I use a lot. I say could, because at the time of writing Apple haven’t activated it. It’s apparently going to be available in a software update in October.

   There are an awful lot of options for buying an Apple Watch Series 9. It comes in two standard sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and is available in GPS only or GPS + cellular form. There is the Ultra 2 as well, which is only GPS + cellular and is 49mm. You’ve then also got a huge array of colours and straps to choose from. I went with the 45mm GPS only version, which I would imagine will be the most common option. There’s £30 difference in the RRP of the 41mm and 45mm, and the extra screen size is more than worth it. My Series 3 was 42mm, and despite only an extra 3mm increase the Series 9 fits so much more on its screen that the Series 3. It makes such a big difference so I would recommend the larger size. Regarding whether you need cellular, this will be down to what you’ll use it for. My Series 3 was cellular, and for the first few years I paid for a separate contract with EE which started at £5 per month but gradually got more and more expensive. It was nice to be able to leave my phone behind on workouts, but when COVID landed and our lifestyles changed I found that I no longer needed the Watch to be cellular, and cancelled my EE contract. I can genuinely say I haven’t noticed. The occasions when I might not have my phone with me are so rare that it just wasn’t worth the extra cost of buying the Watch and then the ongoing sim contract.

   Set up of the watch was as straight-forward as Apple products usually are. I’d backed up my Series 3 and when I turned on the 9 it gave me the option to install from my backup. I said yes and everything came over automatically. The only thing I needed to do was add the 3-digit code from my payments cards to Apple Pay. If you’re new to Apple Watch, do remember that it is still dependant on having an iPhone. An iPhone continues to be the life support for Apple Watch.

   So, is the Apple Watch Series 9 right for you? Given the very minor improvements over the previous two generations, I would say that there’s little reason to upgrade from a Series 7 or 8. However, earlier generations will see a marked improvement over their current watches. I debated for a long time whether to finally go for it, but the difference over my Series 3 is significant. Most things still look the same, but they work more reliably and efficiently. The brightness of the screen is noticeable. I’ve got more information on my home screen than I had previously. The extra size of the screen is barely noticeable on my wrist.

   For me, I feel justified in my purchase of the Series 9. Even with the 6 year gap, there isn’t a huge difference, but it’s enough for me to be satisfied I’ve made the right decision. I wish Apple could sort out the battery life, and one day a blood pressure monitor will be great, but until then the Series 9 is the new benchmark for smart watches.
