You may be wondering whether you should wait until the Apple Watch Series 9 arrives or just purchase an Apple Watch Series 8 today. Here's the answer.
Apple has wrapped up its huge iPhone 15 event, and not only do we have a brand new iPhone 15 lineup, we also have the Apple Watch Series 9.
For the Apple Watch Series 9, we have the usual Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Product Red colors for aluminum, as well as the new Pink color. This is a subtle pink finish, like rose gold, rather than a bright pink. The stainless steel option has the same Gold, Silver, and Graphite offerings as before.
The Apple Watch Series 9 has the Series 8 beat in terms of brightness levels, so it’s the better pick overall, especially if you’re constantly in bright, sunny conditions. The S9 chip also allows the Apple Watch Series 9 to process all Siri requests on the watch itself. This means there’s no more need for Wi-Fi or cellular data for simple requests, such as starting a timer or beginning a workout.
Apple Watch Series 9 vs. Apple Watch Series 8: battery and charging Apple claims that the Apple Watch Series 8 can get around 18 hours of battery life on a single charge. This is pretty accurate and similar to previous iterations of the Apple Watch as well — you’ll have to charge it up by the end of the day.
This means with both the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Series 8, you have SpO2 monitoring, ECG, 24/7 heart rate monitoring with high and low heart rate notifications, irregular rhythm notifications, low cardio fitness notifications, temperature sensors, and sleep tracking. Both watches can also detect if you take a hard fall and also have Crash Detection for car accidents.
With the Apple Watch Series 9 becoming available, the Apple Watch Series 8 is discontinued. However, you can probably find remaining stock at various big-box retailers at a discounted price.
