Apple Watch Series 9 One Month Later - Why It Wins

[@beauqc5587]

I just got the Series 9 as a gift and it is my first smart watch. I love everything so far, but there is so much! I will be busy learning about everything it is capable of doing for MONTHS, I'm sure. So far, I love it! By the way, Jaime Rivera's little clips of him jogging and working out are HEAVEN to watch! He is so beautiful! I LOVE you, Jaime. :)

[@mikecoshan3752]

Bought the series 9 for my wife’s Birthday & my wife bought me an ultra 2 for mine. We really love the more responsive interface & interactions with Siri

[@Joop175]

She got a raw deal

[@rjthewerew0lf]

Congrats! By the way, I have it for myself too! 😎💯

[@bryans8656]

Great review, thanks. I just purchased a Series 9 yesterday so I'm still getting familiar with it, but I can say so far I'm very pleased with it. I got the non-LTE version since it wasn't a feature I wanted to pay extra for so it will always be a companion to my iPhone 14, and I'm fine with that.

[@rjthewerew0lf]

Me too and I love it.

Helpful review and really good presentation style. You covered exactly what needed to be covered. Smooth communication. Easy to follow. Thanks!

[@MN-oy9dr]

Thnx. my S9 is my first apple watch, and I'am loving it. more helpfull then I expected. great for running, walking, quick view with notifications etc. no regrets that I bought one. and the woven sportband. 10+ only 👉😀😀😀

Swear wear minds in the house 24/7 to lol

[@pug_63]

I got my first Apple Watch last year, just after the Series 8 was released. I went for the Series 7 Nike, because I didn't need the 8's body temp tracking, but wanted more than the SE2 had to offer. I wear it for sleep tracking, so it gets put on its fast charger during my "morning routine". My advice would be to try on, if you’re able to do so. I was sure I'd prefer the darker colour, but wasn't sure of size. After trying all sizes and colours, I actually went for the 41 in Starlight. Thanks for the content!

I upgraded to ultra 2 from my series 8. My wife now has my old series 8. She loves it. I love my Ultra 2 even more

[@a.rsinghkaushik8731]

Rocking series 8 and no problems so Far

[@ILLAILLS]

If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Love the improvements but I’m going for the ultra. I like the titanium lil more.

[@c.daubz.5386]

Ultra better just for durability alone, agree after using round smartwatch the shape apple uses is best overall and works way better reading screen

[@TheDude-m2n]

Honestly. I’d rather have a 9 and a Garmin if I wanted durability

[@AndrewUKLondon]

Nice review, helpful and informative. I'd used the accessibility gestures in the past and wondered what the difference is now, so nice to know. Also, I liked being able to swipe faces across easily. Using a basic time and steps face and more complex screens either side for different circumstances. I've tried several watches wearOS... And none have tempted me away from my Apple watch, which I use happily with my android phone (those who say apple watches are only for iPhone users haven't explored deep enough). I used to love my Garmin but wanted more functionality (I like the look of the vivo active 5 and venu 3 but I know the features are behind what I want). I get 2.5 days between charges on my Apple watch. However, there are times when I want at least a week, ideally 10 days without charging when I just need time, alarm, countdown and steps and my amazfit does nicely for that (even if its accuracy isn't as good as Apple or Garmin).

[@thedudekev]

Does anyone recommend a screen protector or will the screen hold up fine as far as scratches etc? I don't want to ruin the look by adding screen protector

[@neudorfj]

I’ve had an Apple Watch since 2017 and work in manufacturing, I’ve never used a screen protector or case. It’s been fine.

[@kevinphoenix2007]

I have an Apple Watch 5 that has many fine scratches on them that I can't see while the screen is on and two slightly wider scratches that I also never noticed. Considering how old it is, I'd say it held up pretty good considering the abuse I put it through.

[@Darknighteo]

whats your view on the apple watch ultra 2 compared to the series 9 im considering returning my ultra 2 for the series 9 stainless steel as i find my heart rate sensor messes up sometimes and gives me readings of 38 bpm when im actually working out

[@BiggRoscoe]

If you go diving and want more battery life, get the U2. I recently got the S9 and am happy with it for everyday use.

[@ThomasAaronPhotography]

Just got my first apple watch … the S9. Love it, but battery life stinks compared to my Garmin. May return it and get the Ultra 2.

[@rformigli]

To swipe to switch watchfaces, you need to activate that option on the Apple Watch, under Settings-->Clock-->Swipe to Switch-->ON.

[@NileshR12]

As someone who has the blue Series 6 44 mm model, I'm able to get $115 in trade-in value for my watch if I upgrade to the Series 9 45 mm. But then again I know that since next year is the Series X release, there could be a major update to the watch. So I'm not sure if I should just pull the trigger & upgrade now or wait another year & trade in my 6 for the X even though the trade in value would be lower

[@deans6571]

I have a blue 45mm S7 watch and I’m also debating whether I want to update to a S9 as I have really gone off the blue colour! The midnight S9 looks so nice ! I’m also not prepared to wait until September 2024 for Apple’s new products….

[@nuyou21]

I've absolutely loved my Apple Watch SE. But I think I'm gonna see if I can get a good Black Friday deal on the Series 9 or Ultra 2. 😁

[@mannym7849]

Hi Jaime, fantastic video and so very well explained. I just recently as this Thursday upgraded from my Apple Watch SE that I had since Nov 2021 to the Series 9 (in an Aluminium silver finish) with cellular capability and I absolutely love it! It's everything I could want in a smart watch and more. I can't ask for more to be honest and can't wait to update it soon to Watch OS11 to see more great things.

[@Chris_GSD]

I’m still deciding for ultra 2 or S9. Confused! :D

[@Bippy55]

Would you recommend also buying AppleCare for the series 9 watch?

[@raman257]

yes, I would say so. compared to a phone, a watch is more bare. it can be knocked against railings, walls, scratch etc. if you have apple care. end of the apple care, smash the watch, get a new one and new battery. last u another 2 years. (not recommending the smashing but hey just saying, it covers all damage)

[@sepp1.031]

What do you think about the Apple Watch in Stainless Steel (also for Sport)? And can you do a workout wich tracks your whole ski day with the S9? Thanks for your opinion.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Thanks for an excellent review. I am going to purchase a 9, however, I am unsure if I need cellular. Another determining factor will be use ability during hiking. Thanks

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Just a follow up. I purchased the Series 9 today on Amazon. Got a great deal by accepting Amazon card. Thanks again for excellent review. I have decided to sub your channel.

[@SpeedGio]

This was just great! First time on your channel and I'm subscribed. Yesterday bought a series 9, im a triathlete, have a Garmin 965 and an AW Ultra 1. Depending on what stage of training im in, I use a different watch. Currently training for a marathon, and then an ironman, so im using the Garmin again for the triathlon, but! when im only running y use my Ultra with the Stryd app, because it sucks on the Harmon and its wonderful on the AWU. So why the 9? Well, all the daily activities, all the smart watch features, my credit cards, iPhone integration, and so on, I have them on my 9 series all day long. For me, having an Apple Watch, is a MUST! But the ultra is to big to have it on my right wrist, so the black series looks like a Woop band, and no one notices it.

I have the samsung watch 5 pro, watch 4 classic, and watch 6. Those i just wear to tell the time. There's just something about the ultra 2 man!

[@BradzViewz]

You hit all my thoughts spot on.. .I just got the Apple Watch 9 and will pick it up tomorrow, I am switching to it from my Garmin Forerunner 255 and my Garmin Forerunner 245 Music. Im an avid distance runner but im thinking ill appreciate the Apple Watch 9 more than my garmins... Im tired of the Garmin telling me i shouldnt run today because my sleep wasnt exactly what it thinks it should be and if I run anyway it deducts from my Endurane score and starts to chip away at my 52 VO2 Max score for no other reason.. Im also noticing my steps are off and vary greatly even when i do the same walks daily and at the same pace.. it varies sometimes by almost 500-1000 steps.. After this review im excited to see the Apple Watch 9 will fix this problem.. So I guess both my Garmisn will be placed on either Ebay or Marketplace and ill start using the Apple Watch 9 now along with my Apple Watch 15 Pro. Im excited to see how it works out.

[@stefanthiessen2435]

hi, do you still think so?? Are you unsure between the Fgarmin Forerunner 965 or the Apple Watch 9? Thank you

[@mmcwill1]

I agree with most of your points but until Apple increases battery life to something more equivalent to my gen 2 Epix Pro, Garmin will remain my main fitness watch. I've had my Apple Watch since gen 1, and sometimes I'll wear both of my watches, but battery life will continue to hold it back for me.

Now that I have series 9 on my wrist I wanna say something about battery life as it concerns a lot of people here : I’m not using always on display (distract me way too much), so it’s not accurate as someone using AOD. every morning I put my watch on charger (old habits from my old series 5). Let’s say that I’m at 95-90%. The same day at midnight, I’m at 52%. It charges very fast writhing 30 minutes (let’s say a shower routine) you’ll be almost full Now with the habits of charging you phone + the Apple Watch (I don’t think that you need it all in your shower) it’s very fine Don’t you think?
