Hardware
Powering the watch is the new S9 SiP. Apple claims this is their most powerful chip in the Apple watch ever and it brings a new dual-core CPU with 5.6 billion transistors, a significant 60% increase compared to the S8 There’s also a new four-core Neural Engine that processes machine learning tasks twice as fast.
In terms of memory, it offers 64GB of storage.
Health and Features
Not a lot has changed feature-wise. The Series 9 still features the same health sensors and is able to measure heart rate, SpO2, and body temperature. There’s also an ECG app capable of generating a similar graph and you’ll also get notifications for high/low heart rates along with irregular rhythm.
The Series 9 will also allow on-demand SpO2 measurements and keep background readings as well. You also get sleep tracking which not only measures sleep time but also keeps track of REM, Core, or Deep sleep.
Furthermore, temperature measurements can help with cycle tracking data to provide important information regarding the body and make retrospective estimations of ovulation which can be helpful for women users. Other than that, there’s a mindfulness app on the watch itself that engages the user and keeps track of emotions and daily moods.
The watch is also able to detect falls or crashes and call emergency services for help when needed. The fall detection is also optimized for use while in the workout app and can connect you to emergency services if you’re immobile.
Software
The Series 9 comes with watchOS 10, which brings some welcome interface changes and provides more information. There is a new double-tap gesture to answer calls, open notifications, play/pause music, and more. However, Apple says it will only be available later this year with watchOS 10.1.
The watch brings insights into mental and vision health along with advanced metrics and views for cyclists. You can check out this link after reading this article for the full details.
