- The Apple Watch Series 9 is finally here with the first chip upgrade we have seen on the Apple Watch in 3 years. However, there were actually a few surprises this year on the Series 9 Apple Watch including a brighter display, double the storage, new double pinch feature, and a new U2 chip. Apple also updated the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the same S9 chip, and a brighter display, but are these watches still worth the additional premium over the budget friendly Apple Watch SE?

Going from Series 3 to Series 9. The only feature that impacts me with not going with Ultra 2 is the extra battery life. Everything else is whatever. Dont need 49 vs. 45. Dont need action button or titanium screen...but the price difference of 400 vs. 800....doesnt make sense to choose Ultra 2...for me.
I have bought apple watch 1, 4, and 7. Wife has 1, 4 and 8. I believe I'll buy an ultra 2 with a trail loop. It looks like fun! I'm not too active at the moment, had to have an aortic valve replaced recently and a pacemaker installed 2 weeks ago so I am just starting to get a bit active. Went for a half mile walk today! It's a start!!
Way to go William keep it up! Keep us updated on how you like the ultra as a lot of us are on the fence
Great to hear that man keep it up
Never had an Apple Watch and considering one at the moment. I always come back to your channel for your reviews before I buy. Thanks Greg!
I have never had an apple watch and I'm considering the series 9, it seems like a great addon to my workouts and outdoor hikes.
I,ill choose suunto for hike
Really nice informative video. What's your wrist size?? Apple watch ultra looks good on yours, i have a 16-17 cm wrist and i dont think it will look that great so im considering going for the series 9 stainless steel version, wich will cost me the same as the ultra. Whats your opinion on it? Thank you.
Absolutely amazing video bro… I am using Apple Watch ⌚️ 4 for almost 5 years now n thinking to upgrade… can u suggest whether to consider 9 or ultra 1 or ultra 2?
Thanks for the insight, Greg! Always enjoy watching your videos, and always learn something new about the Apple Watch! ⌚️
Helpful, thank you. Never got an Apple Watch before but thinking of getting an S9
Thanks for sharing. I’m staying with my Watch Series 7. Blessings on your day.
I’m going to get my first Apple Watch ever and I decided to go for the Series 9 45mm and I can’t wait. Amazing reviews thank you for the video ❤
I think I will get the SE. Had a stainless steel series 4 I think it is, know there is a faster chip however never thought the s8 chip is that slow personally. However with the new apps might prove otherwise. Also definitely will add the assertive touch to the watch, didn’t know this was a feature all along.
Going from Series 6 to Series 9. I think the Ultra is too big for me but I’d definitely buy a smaller one like a 46mm if that ever happens
I wish apple made their ULTRA with actually women or men who like smaller watches like a 41mm ultra would be awesome
Maybe Ultra 3 will offer more options...@@queenbee7074
Agreed. I have a small wrist and like smaller watches.
Same here… love the Ultra form factor but not the size……use the 40 mm 6 series with Ultra Case which boasts its size to 42-43 mm…and it fits perfectly in my small wrist…..tried the ultra several times…and just felt too big…..trust that slightly smaller Ultra size will sell like crazy…. (If apple ever listen)
I would get a 55mm if they offered it. 😂
I agree, they should offer smaller versions.
I have 2nd generation SE, I’ll try to wait until 10 comes out next year.
Thanks for the video!
I’ve just ordered a series 9 to replace my aging series 2. I probably should have upgraded last year because the battery on my series 2 has gotten really flaky over the past year, where it’s almost becoming unusable; it needs charging 4 or 5 times a day! Anyway, struggling with it for the past year means I get a proper upgrade with the new chip.
I love my Apple Watch ultra one , Series 7 Nike 45mm and my SE one 44mm! Is turning the battery optimization off a good thing?
So Greg, what happened to the anticipated black case on the new 🍎 watch Ultra??
The first Apple Watch I had was the series 4. I didn’t feel a need to upgrade until the Ultra. I’ll probably be here for a while lol.
I have series 4 is it worth an upgrade to series 9 or wait for 10 next year.
Decided to pre-order the Ultra 2; hopefully it'll be worth it 😅
I’ll probably wait for watch 10 to upgrade.
Sounds like a good upgrade year
Same (I have a series 2)
Fair I only got the nine because my old one broke
Yes, me too. The Apple Watch X or 10 should see a significant design change.
I bet Apple are leading up to something big in 2024, thats why this years watch was just a minor spec bump. They couldnt give too much away this year.
Bring on 2024!! :)
@@rick_terscale1111Hmm, keep telling yourself that!
Thanks for the review. I will be getting the new S9.
I still have series 6 red version and I've been wanting the Ultra so bad but that price is crazyyy.. still getting it though and keep it for years. I don't really buy every watch and iPhone that comes out every year.
I’m upgrading from series 3 lol
I have a series 4 for five years now that works perfectly, but I'll finally change for a series 9, so thank you for your review!
Thanks for the helpful information
I have a series 3. Looking very forward to getting the series nine : )
So would ultra 2 offer the most precise calorie tracking?
I am upgrading from 7 to the Ultra. Really looking forward to less scratches, and a longer battery life. Great review, thank you!
Same. Already ordered! I’ll keep my 7 around, though, to use while the Ultra charges and for when I want some color. It has been a good watch.
I have 7. Going to do same !
I have 7. Going to do same !
I'm like do it already 🤣 Its no brainer with the battery life. As long as you like the look/size of ultra, then its definitely worth the upgrade
Sounds good. However from past experience you should try it on in store before you buy it. I ordered one and returned it. It was too heavy for my need I have a series 5 rarely ever take it off, i wear it too sleep. The aluminum Apple weighs almost nothing.
Super great video. Thank you
Waiting for a great glucose sensor to be integrated...
Have you seen what they done with the new AirPods? They re released it with a usbc should’ve done that from the start.
I have a series 5 stainless steel with a Brocken screen, should I upgrade?
My series 1 worked perfectly until last week when the battery swelled. Sucks. I finally have to get a new one!
I have a series 5 that i ve used for 4 years. Should i upgrade? Or wait
Is it the weight between ultra 1 and 2 about the same?
Do you think the 1st gen se is worth it? Can get the nike celluar one for $159. I dont need ekg and mainly just want as a watch and to read texts or see whos calling. Do a little fitness tracking too.
Do you know if the S9 has a magnet that can interfere with a pacemaker?
I'm unsure of which if any upgrade I'll do. I have the iWatch 4 (non-cellular) and would get the non-cellular version if whichever I get. It still works fine but it old and seems to have issues communicating with my new 13 that it didn't with my SE 2nd Gen
Price wise I’m looking at a SE, my Fitbit needs replacing. Thx for the video. Based on sales next week I’ll see what happens if anything.
I've been planning on getting my first apple watch. But i'm not sure which one to get. Do you reccomend f. example the series 9 over ultra 1? Or is series 9 the best choice here for my first watch?
honestly I think the Series 9 is the best choice especially for your first Apple watch.
Great review, thank you! I ultimatelly will plan to get Series 9. The problem is: i do like the watch and want to try it, however, i am using iPhone 5s as daily phone, and as per Apple, the Apple Watch series 9 will be incompatible with my phone. But can i still use Apple Watch GPS as a watch? Surprisingly, sellers in the Best Buy couldn't answer.
Hi, people. Never had Apple Watch before, want to buy one. But which should I get s8 or s9? Are there any major differences to be considered?
thank you on the tip about turning on assistive touch on the Apple Watch
I feel better about skipping out on the Ultra 2 and ordering the Series 9, instead. It's literally the best middle ground. I don't like the chunkiness nor the form factor of the Ultra 2, and I certainly will not find myself doing extreme sports.
Thanks! (new subscriber here)
You must have small wrist.
The series 9 looks like a woman’s watch on me.
@@dangerous8333 no, you just have poor taste.
I have a 6 and disabled the always on display , awesome improvement in battery life.
i want to get apple watch ultra 2 do u think they will be better then iwatch 6
Hey Greg, what is your take for surfers. I notice you mentioned more accurate GPS tracking on the Ultra, is this significant compared to the 9? Any input appreciated, I think I like the size of the 9 better but do not want to compromise on features that track exercise, like, running, walking, surfing, weights. Can you LMK your thoughts here, much appreciated.
The S9 is “swim capable” much like the older models. The Ultra is “dive capable”. The 9 is fine in a swimming pool, but I wouldn’t trust it so much in a rough ocean or surfing.
I have a Fitbit versa 3 and I’m interested in getting a se should I get it
Hiya Greg,I’m still using a Apple Watch Series 3 with my iPhone 11 Pro and I’ve accidentally left my iPhone at home before & I’ve still been able to pay for things with my Apple Watch that’s GPS only and I’ve been about 6 miles from home where my iPhone is too! 👍🏻
Can you recommend some good ultra bands with nice vibrant colors? Apple removed the few brighter color bands once Tuesday rolled around. Very disappointing.
Amazon has hundreds!
I just bought the ultra 2. Love it. Big screen 64gb and durable titanium. 36 to 48 hour battery life and cellular. Can’t beat it.
Great video and the first I’ve seen on your channel! I upgraded from the Series 5 Titanium to the Ultra 2. Believe It or Not the starting price on the Series 5 was more than this Ultra 2! A major bonus is that I can still use all the bands from my Series 5 including a nice stainless band I had purchased for my Series 1 nearly 10 years ago! Apple even offered me a $90 trade in credit on my Series 5!
good job, very thorough & like the affiliate links below
Being someone in healthcare it would be nice if Apple if able to release either an OS for the medical field or a watch for us. That will be such a big hit since every nurse, doctor, paramedic, and other healthcare staff has an Apple Watch.
I’m upgrading from series 4 to 9 and very happy about it. I’ll keep it for another 5 years or so 😂
that gesture is almost multitasking ....while fondling something. destress and see your heart rate
I have a Series 5 (black) and decided to just order the Ultra 2: thanks for mentioning that the older watches do support the tap gesture in accessibility. I've just tried it on my 5: I gather the accuracy is off-if I didn't hit the direct center pads of both fingers, it wasn't registering. I'll be anxious to see the difference compared to the Ultra 2. I'm getting the blue alpine band with it as I think it looks nice. Also getting a metal link band for formal wear. Also think I'll hold on to the 5 for when I want something lightweight and different color.
My Series 4 still works, and now has double tap. Thanks. I probably won’t upgrade until the watch could last over a weekend without being charged.
Ordered two Apple Watch series 9. Coming from a series 7, and a series 5 .
Ordered my first Apple Watch, the 9 cellular. Looking forward to see how I will get along with it. Love also the Ultra 2, but found it a bit too big and heavy. But who knows in the future ….,
Was so excited for new watch and was keen to see if ultra 2 would have pink instead of orange that didn’t happen so sad about that as a ranch which I choose
My series 6 shows what’s on my home pods when a approach them
Thank you
I upgraded from a series 7. Wanted to sapphire display and the titanium body. The brighter screen is a big bonus. Hopefully, it’ll put up with more abuse.
Idk. Im enjoying my series 7. I’m thinking of upgrading when they include a prescription for a CGM on the watch. I’ll probably upgrade my phone when they have Apple glasses with prescription lenses to whatever frames you. That’s a bit more redesign and a reason to buy a new Apple product to me anyway
Awesome video
im going from series 8 - 9 but from 12 pro to 15 pro i wont up grade any next year
My first smartwatch, I ordered the Ultra 2
good review, im trading a 7 for the ultra 2 becaause of thr size in particular. i noramlly wear a 50mm garmin tactix 7 . so im looking forward to this one.
Pre ordered the ultra 2 coming from a series 7
I currently have a Series 4 and the XS Max. Will upgrade to the Ultra 2 and I-phone 15 pro max!
I have a series 5, I think I can still stretch 1 more year out of it...
Not having vo2 max stats is a bummer though...
Pink Series 9 for me!!! Upgrading from Series 7
Probably not upgrading yet. I have an apple watch series 4 thats working just fine for me currently and was the biggest watch upgrade for me since I went from being a Fitbit user to being an apple watch user. if I do upgrade I'm going for the series 9 in the future.
I’m going from series 7 to the ultra 2! I alternate the phone and watch each year (got the 14 pro last year!) can’t wait to try the ultra but have to admit I was very underwhelmed by the apple event this year
Strange I was so excited by it.
Same going from the 7 to ultra 2! Super dope! Imma wait for the iPhone 16 though!
@@crisg8762I’m not replacing my 13 mini anytime soon, only hobos use big phones
I’m going from the Series 7 to ultra 2 as well, wanted last year but waited, I didn’t wanna wait for Ultra 3.
I’m going to ultra 2 from original watch 😂
I currently have series 4 which is 5 years old, mostly works fine except battery, have to charge every 10-12 hours. I'm split, should I wait for series 10 (on 10th anniversary apple can rollout big updates as did with iPhone 10) or upgrade to series 9 now?
The 9 is effectively the same as the 8, which was the same as the previous 2 versions. If battery life is your priority, go for a Garmin. If you want to keep in the apple eco system...maybe pick up a used cheaper AW 8 and next year assess
My S4 is being upgraded to the S9. I didn't think I'd use the watch as much as I do when I bought it. I surprised myself.
Are usually get two days out of my series 8, but I also disabled a bunch of stupid features that are stupid like that always on
Birthday coming up in October and thinking very seriously of buying the Ultra 2 and getting rid of my older Fenix 6x pro and Apple watch 7..... Still not impressed with the overall battery life though
I had a Apple Watch 1 and upgraded to a 4, i still have the 4 id say maybe its close time to upgrade ill have to think on it
I decided to upgrade this year from series 5 to ultra 2 and after this video I’m sure I made the right choice. Thanks for nice review.
I am still using my series 3 watch. 😂. Still gets great battery life. I think I am going to upgrade it this year and give my 3 to my mom.
Getting the Apple Watch series 9. Thanks for the information.
Finally switching to ios this year and after the event... couldnt wait.. today i bought the ultra. Currently using an i8 until the new pro max but i am ok using this so that i get used to ios.
I have the Series 4 Steel and battery still lasts for one full day, Charge only at night.
what features of the apple watch do you guys use in your day to day life? i’ve noticed personally i really only use sleep tracking and checking the time 😂
Should we get s8 or s9 ??
I have a series 7 45mm warch, not sure if Series 9 is worth getting ?
You should wait for series 10
I’m sticking with my Series 6 for now. I don’t see any compelling reason to change. Might be a different story with Series 10 a year from now
An upgrade from SE 1st gen to 9 series i think it's more than desirable!
I bought an SE 2nd gen a few weeks ago. I work out everyday, it says I averge 58 minutes a day. Its the 44mm with GPS version.
But the way I use it, it has waaay better battery than advertised. I charge it a few hours before bed every night. I use it when I sleep to track sleep, I have every health sensor available on. But when I charge it at night, it usually has 60% battery left, and Ive been using it 24 hours already by then
I have the 6, and won’t upgrade until one of 2 things happen: the 6 loses WatchOS support, or we get health sensors that benefit me. I have no need for the Ultra, I will just get the regular watch when replacing my 6
Same
rigjt i have a 4 i still see nothing special? its crazy... they got lazy
@@z3ro7ojust replace my 4 with a 7 few months ago. It really depends on your needs. The 4 was doing perfect good for me but I just can’t pass on an amazing deal I found😂
I have watched several of these Apple watch videos now and still don't know what to get.
i wiil wait for a smaller ultra 3 or a round AW X. I still use series 6.
I have iPhone 13 with ios 16.6 will it work..?
Been eyeing an Ultra for the past year. Tried one on and loved it but couldn’t get past the £849 price, here in the UK. Just bought a new Ultra 1 for £649, replacing my Series 4. 🎉 The Ultra 2 wasn’t a big enough upgrade for the extra money
Thanks for the breakdown Gregg 👍🏽
Same. Just got an Ultra off Amazon for £650. Replaced my 40mm Series 6. Very happy with it and no desire whatsoever to get the Ultra 2.
Enjoy! I almost did the same but got the U2.
I couldn’t get past the faster chip, brighter screen, and better battery. Plus I included resale value, and I’m paying it off over two years with no interest.
Battery life will be even more important in the near future and will start greatly affecting resale value soon. The U2 will have the bare minimum people will be looking for going forward. I think that’s the Achilles heel of the U1.
All things considered, worth the $200 price difference in my opinion.
I think the multiday battery is better for when you go out with your friends after a whole day away from a plug.
higher temperatures would also work for city in warm places, my series 1’s screen deglued while I was walking in Mexico city.
Really love your videos Greg. I’m upgrading from my Series 7 to the Series 9.
It’s still nearly same as my s6. I may wait for 10 or later model.
Apple Watch Series 4 Stainless steel owners here. It was my first Apple watch. Loved this watch. But with its fading battery life, and the new Series 9 processor, I finally pulled the trigger to get a Series 9 Stainless steel watch. Really looking forward to all the cool new features I'll get vs. my Series 4. I can also say that the stainless steel plus crystal display is pretty much unscratchable. I am a little clumsy, and have bumped and bashed my watch into many things over the last 5 years, but no visible scratches on this watch at all. And they gave me $60 trade in, which was a nice consolation prize for me.
I was on the verge to complete my s9 order I’m already wearing a s3 but I want a nice new one I like the sleep tracking I believe the 9 doesn’t have it
@@DawayneBuffin-ho5mnno it does have sleep tracking
Does it I didn’t see it on Apple‘s website I will go look again
@@DawayneBuffin-ho5mnit does… they don’t show it because it’s something every Apple Watch has…
They replace the battery on my Series 5 Apple Watch for $75. It’s like a brand new watch. Just without all these features I really don’t need unless I keep watching these videos. 😂
