    I mean it’s an Apple Watch so what’s to not recommend. I wear it everyday especially work. Wish the battery lasted longer definitely gonna need a charge every night just like your phone but it’s a smartwatch so makes sense.

    Apple Watch Series 9 is a good value for money. Best Buy also provided a 100$ off sale price which was very good. Sales person was helpful and knowledgeable. Plus points are the eco system, rich features, proven product.

    I received an empty Apple Watch box which was shipped to me in a shipping box using FedEx as the courier. Contacted customer service but no help. They shipped the empty box but told me to contact my law enforcement and denied my refund. They didn’t tell me they denied me at the time so I assumed they would refund me, so I ordered another watch and picked it up from a BestBuy I happened to be going by on an out of town trip. So they’ve made money off of me twice. Never will I buy from BestBuy again!!!!!!

    This watch was bought as a birthday gift. She loved it. The color of the watch it self was perfect. The amazing resolution on screen and all of the add ons and new features compared to her Fitbit, made it well worth the price. Definitely recommend this watch!

    As a longtime Apple user, I finally decided to invest in an Apple Watch and went straight for the Series 9. Here's my honest take after a few months of using it religiously. **Display:** This is a total win. Let's face it, California sun is no joke, and I constantly struggled to see my old phone screen outdoors. The Series 9's display is incredibly bright, making it easy to read messages, check stats, or glance at the time during midday runs. No more squinting or awkward wrist contortions! **Double Tap:** This might seem like a minor detail, but it's surprisingly handy. Double tapping the screen lets you control the watch without actually touching it. It's great for quick actions like pausing music during workouts or silencing an incoming call when my hands are full. **Health Tracking:** I wasn't initially obsessed with all the health features, but they've grown on me. Having my heart rate, sleep patterns, and workouts tracked automatically is motivating. Plus, the Series 9 upped the game with blood oxygen and body temperature readings. It's not a replacement for a medical diagnosis, but it's valuable data to have on hand, especially during times when I might not be feeling well. **Siri Upgrade:** Finally, Siri seems to understand me on the first try! The improved voice recognition makes interacting with the watch so much smoother. Whether I'm asking for directions, setting reminders, or making calls hands-free, Siri is actually helpful now. **Downsides:** Now, it wouldn't be a fair review without mentioning a couple of things. The battery life is decent, lasting a full day with moderate use, but it could definitely be better. I find myself needing to charge it most nights, especially if I squeeze in a workout with GPS tracking. Also, for those already owning an Apple Watch Series 8, the upgrade might not be super significant. You're getting a better display, double tap, and some additional health features, but the core functionality remains similar. **Overall:** Despite the minor drawbacks, I'm super happy with the Apple Watch Series 9. It's sleek, functional, and keeps me motivated with my fitness goals. The brighter display, double tap, and improved Siri make it a joy to use. If you're an iPhone user on the fence about getting a smartwatch, the Series 9 is a fantastic choice, especially if you prioritize fitness tracking and a bright, easy-to-read display. However, if you already own a Series 8 and aren't too concerned with the latest features, you might be okay sticking with what you have.
