Watch Series 9

Hypertension notifications will be available on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later, with watchOS 26. Great news. Sleep score is also available for older models (Series 6 and onwards, SE 2 and onwards). Would have expected some of these features to be gated for the new

Update I’ve spoken to Apple Support who couldn’t diagnose the issue.

Apple Series Watches are on a 3-year cycle: New chip (S6, S9, S12) Redesign (S7, S10) Not much (S8, S11) So for example, after its release, the S9 got:- sleep apnea notifications- hypertension notifications- offline translation- on-device siri for health logging- wrist flick gesture A lot of it was

So the upgrade is probably almost unnoticeable, but it's still better than nothing. There is no reason to upgrade if someone has the AW9 or the AW10, but for people who don't have an Apple Watch or have older models it's a good choice. In my country the regular price is even sligtly lower in compari
