Although I'm on this year Apple Watch 9 was not going to cross, fate wanted it differently and I amonec on his wrist he replaced it with the previous one Apple Watch 5 which I was very happy with until then. I was all the more curious as to how much the unwanted ones would be significantly newer to me in a way Apple Watch have fun and whether after a few weeks I will say that switching to them was a good ideaonec makes sense. And since in a few days it will be two months since I Apple Watch SeI put the ries 9 on my wrist for the first time and started using it actively, I think it's high time to think about what it actually gave me.

As a fan Apple Watch to tell the truth, I have suffered quite a bit in recent years. Innovation here Apple showed complete minimum and I have come to terms with the fact that I simply can't justify moving from the Series 5 to the new model in my head, because in terms of price-performance-difference from the Series 5, it just didn't make sense to me. This year was no different in this regard, although I have to admit that the faster chip was a much bigger attraction for me than the narrower bezels around the display last year. Speed has been one of the biggest pain points in recent years. Apple Watch and I was therefore glad to be with her Apple this year toonedecided to do something. And here I must admit that the "something" is really felt. Because I was moving from Apple Watch 5, I improved according to calculations Applu by a good 50%, which you will soon notice. Whether we are talking about loading applications, the overall speed of the watch or even just booting up after a restart or shutdown, the acceleration is there and it is not small. And it is not small compared to Series 6 to 8, since these Watches use the same chip, which is 9% slower than the current S30.
Another thing that cannot be omitted in my assessment is the battery life, although I have to add here in one breath that I am actually happy about complete stupidity. Apple namely, with the new Series 9, they only talk about all-day battery life, which is a figure we had to settle for with all earlier models as well. However, if you are switching from any others that have been in use for some time Apple Watch except for the model Ultra, you will improve your battery life by a minute or an hour, whether you like it or not. Why? Simply because you will get a watch with a new battery, while the one in yours is already worn out. What does this mean in my case? From about 15 hours of battery life with worn-out ears, I got to an estimated 30 hours, which is honestly the value I was used to years ago, when the battery in the Series 5 was still shining with novelty. In this case, we are definitely not talking about an upgrade, but simply about a bonus that you may not be aware of so much if your old watch is working, but you will feel it after the transition.

A nice upgrade of the new ones Apple Watch Series 9 is also an increase for me maximal brightness of the display. It is now up to 2000 nits, while until now we had to make do with only 1000 nits. Although I will definitely appreciate this upgrade primarily next summer, when I will look at the Watch dial in direct sunlight, perhaps somewhere by the sea, and I will be able to see it better than before, I already perceive it positively thanks to the higher intensity of the flashlight. Especially now in autumn, when it gets dark really early, you need to light something up at home or outside more often than in the summer, and it is therefore great that there are now lights for this purpose Apple Watch more usable than ever before. So if you use the flashlight quite actively like me, satisfaction is clear. But I can't forget the U2 chip, thanks to which local iPhone-style search is now available on the Watch AirTags. So if you have iPhone 15 (Pro), you can not go to itchat to guide just by using Apple Watch 9, which is also a great idea for me, because even though we have a small apartment, iPhone I "get lost" in it quite often. This is because, especially during calls, I tend to carry things from place to place and because I call from AirPods, I have my hands free, which is perfect for fiddling with my iPhone. But local search will solve this problem for you very quickly.
Although the previous lines may sound very positive and Apple Watch 9 portray as a great product, it is actually only partially so. Personally, they somehow have more things Apple Watch Moreover, I don't feel the 9 compared to the Series 5 and therefore I can't even appreciate it, which seems quite crazy to me. After all, we are talking about a jump over four generations (Series 6, 7, 8 and 9) and I have something on my hand that is actually not that different from my old Series 5. Sure, we have a few new health functions here that I am happy about, but so far I have made do with ECG and heart rate monitoring. We also have a larger display, which looks more modern and overall nicer, however, I can't say that I feel any limitations with the wider frames on the Series 5. In terms of design, it is also a fairly similar watch and if I had the Series 5 available a few years earlier watchOS 10, who with his widgetya really enjoy it, I probably wouldn't perceive this system as positively as I do now. That's how I tend to associate it with Apple Watch 9 as an important part of them that makes them fun.
Even the gesture of double-tapping with the fingers that started seems completely unnecessary to me Apple Watch 9 support with the arrival watchOS 10.1. The catch is that the controllable hand gestures were already available in previous generations through accessibility, and that I simply don't see the magic of this function. Yes, you can answer a call with it, but that's really all the gesture is good for. It will also allow you to activate widgetemail center and scroll widgety, however, for me personally it's definitely not something that would really blow my mind - especially since the gesture is actually extremely limited, as it works as an activator without the possibility of any simple return to the previous page with another gesture. But who knows, maybe you'll be interested in a similar gadget.

To have or not to have?
Apple Watch I've been wearing it on my wrist since 2017, when Apple launched the Series 3 model, but during that time I have replaced only three models in terms of long-term wear - namely Series 3, Series 5 and Series 9. The paradox is that since Apple Watch SeI had the opportunity to review ries 3 for Letem svetem Applem and Jablíčkář, actually all the models introduced so far, except for the uninteresting SE. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, I have only actively worn a handful of models so far, with the exception of the time of the review. And to be completely honest, even after two months, I'm not entirely convinced that if I hadn't bought the Series 9 like a fiddle blind, I'd have them on my wrist now and not still the Series 5.
Or rather like this – on my wrist at the moment I guess Apple Watch SeI really should have gotten the Series 9 instead of the Series 5, but not because I was particularly interested in the Series 9, but rather for purely pragmatic reasons, knowing that while I was able to sell the Series 5 for a relatively good price this year, I might not be able to sell it next year due to the battery capacity and potential end of support. watchOS I could just throw it in the electrical waste bin. And I wouldn't be afraid to recommend that to you. Apple Watch Series 9 are definitely not much better Apple Watch than last year's or the generation before last. However, I believe that compared to Series 6 and older, you will already improve quite substantially, even with "silliness" such as an unworn battery. With a view to selling your old ones Apple Watch for a favorable price it gives the purchase of new ones Apple Watch makes a lot more sense, because in this case, it's simply not possible to give in to emotions, even if I really want to. And I admit this as someone who gave in to emotions in the past and bought an absurdly powerful and expensive 16″ for my work MacBook Pro with Touch Bar or wanted to buy Apple Watch Ultra in dark color just because he liked the concepts without having any real use for them.
Apple Watch Series 9 can be purchased here
THANKS and AGREE Jirko :)
Let's believe @ let's hope that the annual Xka konethey will definitely wait for something NEW – hope dies last, even though the probability, even given the existence of Apple of more profitable and even larger AWUs, where any kind of INNOVATION appears for the first time, is unfortunately borderline close to zero...
I also had a Series 5 and was hesitant about the Series 9, precisely because of the weak battery and soon-to-end update support, another plus was that this yearonenew chip. Despite that, I was quite resistant until I accidentally dropped my Series 5 and the display broke. It solved the dilemma. To feel like I was getting something "extra", I bought the 9s straight from Cellular variahere.
When my Series 5 stops working, I'll go to Garmin... I charge it every day and it's really annoying. I still use the watch as a clock, alarm clock, card payment, sleep monitor, and reading SMS. max writing down an SMS.
My wife bought a women's garmin this year, it lasts about 14 days, and the functions are identical...
Actually, I'm in a similar situation, but we'll see, they'll be in service for another 5 days and maybe they'll come up with something interesting AW Ultra 3
I don't really deal with it, I switch when it makes sense to me. I would welcome the new health features (blood sugar monitoring would be totally cool for everyone and I bet it would prevent a lot of people from developing diabetes where a lot of people don't know they are at the stage where they will develop diabetes if they don't do anything) she wasn't angry I would be for longer battery life, although I don't mind putting the AW on the charger while showering, and I would definitely be angry if the design changed significantly, I wouldn't mind if it was square and otherwise the same, but any big change would be bad.
I have aw3 and since it works, there is nothing to solve. after all, it's mainly watches. what can i do notify And that I put them on the charger once a day, at a time when I smell hygiene and have breakfast? it can only bother me a little, so it's OK for me
I switched from AW5 to Garmin and I'm satisfied, going back doesn't make any sense to me :)
That AW 6-8 have the same chip is nonsense...
His name is different, but he is the same.
Great write-up, you really speak to my heart. I now have the AW 5 Ceramic edition and I am maximally satisfied. I'm only upgrading because I'm giving this watch to my wife (she has the AW 2 Ceramic edition) and I'm tired of the white ceramic. I'm going to go with the AW 9 Stainless steel grey, I want a dark watch with sapphire.
