The Series 9 has exciting hand gestures and a new Apple Silicon chip

First, say goodbye to constantly tapping the screen! The Series 9 premieres a new hand gesture called “Double Tap” that allows users to perform various actions, like answering calls, pausing music, or snoozing alarms, with a simple tap of their thumb and index finger together.

Performance gets a major boost as well. The Apple Watch Series 9 is equipped with a powerful new Apple silicon chip boasting 60% more transistors and 30% faster performance compared to the Series 8. This translates to a smoother overall experience. The four-core neural engine embedded in the chip processes Siri requests and dictation directly on the watch, resulting in both increased speed and improved security. Despite this performance leap, battery life remains at a solid 18 hours.

Borrowing technology from AirTags, the Series 9 leverages ultra-wideband support for a feature called Precision Finding, offering improved location accuracy. The Series 9 also integrates more seamlessly with HomePod, making smart home device control a breeze.

Apple has optimized the always-on Retina display for the Series 9, increasing its maximum brightness to a staggering 2000 nits while still offering the ability to dim down to a mere 1 nit for comfortable viewing in low-light environments.

The Apple Watch Series 9 prioritizes environmental responsibility with the use of recycled materials and reduced packaging. The watch also comes in a fresh lineup of colors, including a new pink option.
