In terms of watches, aesthetics is quite important. All that’s required to persuade anyone to buy a costly watch is an enticing design. But over the previous several years, sales of Apple wearables could have been better. According to market surveys, Apple’s position in the smartwatch market has decreased over the last two years, and there is an extremely straightforward reason why!
For the last three years, Apple has not altered the look of its watch. Apple’s newest slick wearable, the Watch Series 9, may present a minor design upgrade over its predecessor. Still, it does come with a handy double-tap gesture that lets you execute various functions without touching the watch.
Performance
With a dual-core CPU and a PowerVR GPU, the Apple S9 System-in-Package (SiP) chipset powers the Apple Watch Series 9. With the improved hardware, there is a notable improvement in efficiency, which is especially apparent in the rapid launch and closing of apps and the smooth browsing of the watchOS display.
The Series 9 is notable for having twice as much internal storage as the model from the previous year, with a hefty 64GB available. Those who want to save music straight on their watch and never bring a phone may find this increased storage to be really helpful.
Battery
An indestructible 308mAh Li-Ion battery powers the Apple Watch Series 9, providing ample power for everyday tasks. After charging for nearly an entire hour and ten or twenty minutes, the Watch 9 is capable of lasting throughout the day. The variable refreshing rate, which lowers to 1 nit in low light, allows for up to 36 hours of continuous use. Notwithstanding, we are looking forward to the day when an Apple Watch may go three to four days between charges.
Display
The Retina LTPO OLED screen of the Apple Watch Series 9 is twice as brilliant as the one found on the Series 8 at 2,000 nits at its highest point. Bright and colorful images are guaranteed by its small 1.9-inch screen’s 484×396 resolution and roughly 326 ppi pixel resolution.
Pros and Cons of Apple Watch Series 9
Pros
● To improve seeing outside, the screen brightness has increased.
● The battery now comfortably endures a full day thanks to extended life.
● Enhances the utilization of one hand when you double-tap.
Cons
● Blood pressure monitoring is not available yet.
● Analyzing sleep with apps developed by third parties is still preferable.
Verdict
The most feature-rich wristwatch in the Apple Watch series (apart from the Ultra) is the recently released Apple Watch Series 9, which starts at ₹41,900 and features longer battery life, gesture management, and adjustable illumination. However, the Watch Series 9 is worth checking out if you’re relatively new to Apple.
