Marques Brownlee explains that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 are not significant updates for those who already have a recent Apple Watch. These watches are primarily targeted at users who don’t have an Apple Watch yet or have an older model. T
The main changes are a spec bump, with the Series 9 featuring a faster chip and more power efficiency, while the Ultra 2 has a brighter display. Additionally, both watches now have an ultra-wideband chip that enables the precision finding of iPhones.
The Siri experience is also improved with faster responses and on-device processing. However, some features, like accessing health data through voice commands, will be added later this year. Overall, the reviewer emphasizes that the updates are minor and not easily noticeable, making the devices indistinguishable from their predecessors.
Marques Brownlee discusses the “double tap” feature on the Apple Watch Series 9, which allows users to select and control the watch by double-tapping their fingers together. This feature is particularly useful when your other hand is busy or dirty.
While similar functionality existed in previous generations through an accessibility setting called Assistive Touch, the algorithm and processing power required for the new double-tap feature are only available on the latest watches.
Marques Brownlee finds the feature accurate and efficient, with very few false triggers. Additionally, they highlight the Apple Watch’s carbon-neutral status, making it Apple’s first fully sustainable product. They express hope for future Apple Watch designs, as the current design has remained largely unchanged for years.
In this section, the speaker expresses their disappointment with the lack of significant updates in the Apple Watch Series 9. They mention that features such as a rotating bezel or improved battery life would have been major improvements, but instead, it’s just a spec bump. The speaker concludes by thanking the viewers and hinting at future videos.
