Starting at a price point of $399, the Apple Watch Series 9 offers two distinct face sizes: 41mm ($399) and 45mm ($429). The standard aluminum watch face colors include Pink, Starlight, Silver, Midnight, and (PRODUCT)RED, which can all be changed out with accompanying bands in styles including the Sport Band, Sport Loop, Classic Buckle, Braided Loop, Leather, Milanese Loop and more.
For the upgraded and more durable stainless steel cases, the color choices become a bit more opulent with Silver, Gold, and Graphite finishes and a price jump, starting at $699 for GPS + cellular included models. Apple Watch discounts are regularly available in this Price Guide, with sale prices regularly dipping to $329.
The Series 9, with its Always-On Retina display, has a brightness level that spans from 1-2000 nits, which is double the capability of the Series 8. This makes it blend in easily in dark places like a movie theater and makes it extremely readable during bright light conditions like full sunlight. A new feature, the Double Tap gesture, has been introduced, making it easier to use the S9 even when your hands are full or busy. Siri's voice recognition has also been enhanced, showing a 25% increase in dictation accuracy. Under regular conditions, the battery can last from 18 hours with heavy use, but this can be extended to 36 hours in a low-power setting by closing apps and turning off health tracking features. The Series 9 is meant to withstand daily use, it's water, dust, and shatter resistant, making it a reliable companion for anyone looking to track daily routines or monitor fitness goals or health changes.
Quality of life updates like Double Tap and a brighter display makes Apple Watch Series 9 a worthwhile upgrade, but Series 7 and newer owners shouldn't bother.
