Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Series 9 for its ultra‑bright 2000‑nit display, the speed of the new S9 processor and the innovative Double Tap gesture, calling the interaction “magical.” They also highlight richer workout visuals and Precision Finding via UWB, while noting that the GPS‑only model still needs daily charging and lacks cellular capability, and that the weight gain over the 41 mm version is marginal.
What Users Say
Everyday users praise the watch’s seamless iPhone integration, reliable fitness and health tracking, and the readability of the bright screen. Common complaints revolve around the need to charge daily, occasional sync hiccups with the iPhone, and band comfort issues for smaller wrists.
Common Complaints
Frequent need to recharge the battery after heavy use, occasional iPhone sync problems during GPS workouts, and band comfort concerns for smaller wrists.
