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

First time I've actually seen someone scratch the sapphire crystal display cover haha! My two previous Ion-X-covered watches had some minor scratches by the 1 year mark. And now I'm 1 year in with my refurb stainless steel Series 9, and the display still look as good as the day I unboxed it. Apple u
