Apple Watch Series 9
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I had an SE2 and upgraded to a Series 9. Only reason why was because I lost it. ... The extra biometrics features are nice to have. The EKG feature I’ve used to catch palpitations to show my cardiologist a few times.
- I currently have an Apple Watch, not the Ultra, the Series 9. I bought it because I'm very connected daily for work—Teams, calls, emails—and I like having my phone on silent and my wrist vibrating.
- U can get an older series watch with a keyboard tbh for less. I would probably recommend a Series 9.
- The good news is that Hypertension Notifications isn’t exclusive to the Series 11. It’s also available on earlier models like the Apple Watch Series 9 and Series 10, which are often much more affordable now.
- the Ultra 2 actually performs worse than the Series 9, constantly overestimating my running distances. For example, in the last two weeks alone we've done two races: * A 12k, for which the Ultra 2 computed 12.34k and the Series 9 12.08k...
Cons
- series 9 I bought from Apple
- I have series 9, charge it every day and keep the AOD off to make it through. Whatever apple are doing with the battery management on the watch is wrong
- I currently have a series 9 and I’m thinking about charging. ... What caused this search to start was a 6 hour bike ride that used 65% of battery and scratches in the glass from riding past branches.
- Anyone in India able to use the feature? It keeps saying not available in region
- It still says unavailable in your region to me

the Ultra 2 actually performs worse than the Series 9, constantly overestimating my running distances. For example, in the last two weeks alone we've done two races: * A 12k, for which the Ultra 2 computed 12.34k and the Series 9 12.08k * A 5k, for which the Ultra 2 computed 5.10k and the Series 9 5.03k (which also matched the numbers on a few different Garmins).
At least the Apple Watch is accurate
