Apple has introduced a new (Product) Red color option for its latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 9. The new color joins Apple’s lineup of products supporting (RED)’s global fight against HIV/AIDS.

The new smartwatch features a red aluminum case and a matching red Sport Band. Apple is also debuting new red watch faces, including Solar Analog, customized specially for World AIDS Day. These exclusive faces complement the (Product)Red Series 9’s vibrant colorway.

The rest of the smartwatch specifications are similar to the standard model. That is, it features a new S9 chip and quad-core neural engine, providing faster processing and improved performance. It has an 18-hour battery life, 25% better dictation accuracy, and 30% faster speed than the previous Series 8.

The maximum brightness is up to 2000 nits, twice that of the Series 8. The Series 9 brings a new double-tap gesture that lets wearers control Watch functions without touching the screen.

The Apple Watch Series 9 (Product) Red is available for purchase through Apple’s online store and retail stores. Pricing starts at Rs 41,900 in India and $399 in the US.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of smartwatch will be donated to the Global Fund, which provides funding for HIV/AIDS programs in sub-Saharan Africa. 

The company has been partnering with (RED) since 2006. The new Apple Watch Series 9 (Product) Red joins the existing (Product) Red variants for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 13, and iPhone SE.
