    My recent purchase of the Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS) 45mm in Midnight Aluminum with the Midnight Sport Loop from Best Buy was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Best Buy's wide selection and competitive pricing made it the obvious choice, and their knowledgeable staff were incredibly helpful in answering my questions. Snagging it for just $287.93 on June 20, 2024, felt like a steal! This watch has seamlessly integrated into my life, proving to be so much more than just a timepiece, especially at that price point! The design is sleek and sophisticated. The Midnight Aluminum case is gorgeous, and the 45mm size is perfect. The Midnight Sport Loop is comfortable and breathable for all-day wear. The improved display is noticeably brighter and crisper, making it a joy to use even in direct sunlight. The speed and responsiveness are impressive, with apps loading quickly and navigation feeling buttery smooth thanks to the new processor. For the price I paid, the performance is outstanding. The health and fitness tracking features are invaluable. The blood oxygen sensor provides valuable insights, and the workout tracking is comprehensive and accurate. The automatic workout detection is a great motivator. Beyond fitness, the Apple Watch has become an essential part of my daily routine, allowing me to receive notifications, answer calls, and control my music directly from my wrist. Apple Pay integration and seamless integration with other Apple devices make it incredibly convenient. Battery life has been surprisingly good, easily lasting a full day with regular use. While the Apple Watch Series 9 is usually a premium purchase, I feel like I got an absolute steal. It's a powerful and versatile device that enhances my life in so many ways. From its stunning design and impressive performance to its comprehensive health and fitness tracking, the Series 9 is a top-tier smartwatch. I highly recommend it, and definitely recommend checking out Best Buy for great deals!

    Upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 9 from a Series 6, and the performance boost is noticeable. Apps launch faster, the screen is brighter (even in sunlight), and the new double-tap gesture is super convenient. I use it daily for workouts, messages, and sleep tracking, and the battery lasts me all day with no problem.

    Blood oxygen and increased battery life +++

    This smartwatch excels for iPhone users focused on fitness. The big 45mm screen is easy to read during workouts, while features like blood oxygen monitoring and sleep tracking keep you informed. The sleek midnight aluminum case with matching Sport Loop looks great, and the battery lasts a full day (18 hours). Downsides? No built-in cellular data (GPS only) and a premium price. Best Buy offers a discount currently, but consider if cellular is important and if the Sport Loop suits your style (extra bands sold separately).

    Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm, Blue): A Stylish Power

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Apple Watch Series 9 in blue with the 45mm case is a standout in both design and functionality. The larger display is bright and clear, making it easy to read notifications, track workouts, or check the time at a glance. The blue color adds a sleek, modern touch that feels fresh compared to more traditional finishes. Performance-wise, the Series 9 packs some impressive upgrades. The faster S9 chip makes navigating apps and features smoother than ever. Fitness tracking is top-tier, with everything from heart rate monitoring to blood oxygen levels and sleep tracking. It’s also great for keeping you connected, as you can take calls, reply to messages, and even stream music without your phone nearby (with the cellular model). The health features, like ECG and fall detection, add peace of mind, especially for those concerned about their health. Battery life is decent, typically lasting about 18 hours with regular use, though heavy users might need to charge it daily. If you're already in the Apple ecosystem, the seamless integration with your iPhone, AirPods, and other devices is a huge plus. The only downside might be the price, as it’s on the higher end of the smartwatch market, but for what you get, the Apple Watch Series 9 is an excellent investment in both style and tech.

    I recently purchased an Apple Watch, and I must say, it's been a fantastic addition to my daily routine. The seamless integration with my iPhone means I get all my notifications right on my wrist, ensuring I never miss an important call, email, or message, even when my phone isn't directly on me. The health and fitness tracking features have been a game-changer. The accuracy of the workout tracking, along with the heart rate monitor and the new blood oxygen sensor, have provided me with valuable insights into my health and encouraged me to maintain an active lifestyle. The Activity Rings have become a daily motivation to move more, and the friendly competitions with friends add that extra bit of fun and challenge. Another aspect I've come to appreciate deeply is the design and customization options. It's not just a smart device; it's also a fashion statement. Switching bands to match my outfit or mood is a breeze, and the variety of watch faces means my watch always feels personal and new. The Apple Watch has also made my daily tasks more convenient. From using Apple Pay for quick purchases to controlling my music and podcasts without having to reach for my phone, it's like having a personal assistant on my wrist. The Siri integration is excellent for setting reminders or asking quick questions on the go. Battery life has been surprisingly good as well; with typical usage, I easily get through a day without needing a recharge. And when I do need to charge it, the process is quick and straightforward. In conclusion, the Apple Watch has exceeded my expectations in both functionality and style. It's a powerful tool for staying connected, healthy, and productive. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or someone looking to enhance their daily life through wearable technology, the Apple Watch is a standout choice.

    I upgraded from the 6 to this. My 6 has nothing wrong with it, my brother wanted an Apple Watch so I gave him my 6 so I could upgrade. It is definitely much faster than the 6. The pinch tap thing is fun to use. It was noticeable at first that it was 1mm larger than my 6. Honestly after the first hour or so I couldn’t even notice anything bad about the 45mm size. I enjoy the slightly larger screen and definitely love having a full keyboard to type replies on messages. For some reason Apple HomeKit doesn’t seem to work properly on the 9. Not sure why but I can’t control any of my HomeKit devices. It just says All Accessories No Response on my watch. If I use my phone I can connect to all accessories with no problems. HomeKit on watch just doesn’t work the way it should. It was like that on my 6. I was hoping the 9 would fix it.

    Super impressed with this watch! 9.0 series-45mm. This is the first smartwatch purchased for my use and it performs beyond my expectations. Battery life is impressive; charge every two days with full time, 24 hr., wearing. Bright display and super quick processing response when toggling and especially with use of Siri and phone. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable wearable IT resource always at your fingertip and voice command.

    This is my fourth Apple Watch, so I'm obviously a fan of the product line. Being a person that's fully steeped in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc), adding the Apple Watch was a natural and I picked up my first one about 6 years ago. The latest iteration of the line (at the time of purchase, anyway), the Series 9 is a really nice watch. Fully waterproof, you don't have to worry about getting it wet, although I'm not sure I'd take it diving. The blood oxygen sensor is very cool, providing a lot of great health info around general fitness level, sleep quality, etc. I also really like the heartrate and ECG capabilities, which my cardiologist told me is surprisingly accurate. And you can also monitor your respiration rate, such as when you're sleeping, to give you an idea as to whether you've got problems with sleep apnea. It also has fall detection, which can alert emergency services if it detects you fall and aren't moving around. That is an awesome feature for older folks and even younger ones. Another great benefit of being a part of the Apple ecosystem: you can use the watch to unlock other devices, like your iPhone, Mac, etc. Very cool. It also works great with security systems like Okta, allow you to use the watch as a second factor to approve logins to websites, etc. The watch also works great as a silent alarm clock, waking you with a silent vibration that's great for not disturbing your sleeping partner. Charging is easy through the included magnetic "dongle" and battery life is the best of any Apple Watch I've owned; about 1.5 to 2 days between charges. And lastly, one huge plus of the phone is Apple Pay and the Apple Wallet. It's so cool to be able to use it at tap pay terminals, and it's actually very secure as Apple generates a unique payment code for each transaction. And you can also use it for travel, loading your boarding pass code onto the watch and then using it at TSA check points and the gate. Very cool and almost like SciFi! In summary, if you're on the fence about getting an Apple Watch and are an iPhone user, just get it. They're awesome and once you learn how to use all of the features, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

    So coming from a series 4 it was a nice upgrade. There are a few features that my sries 4 did but the series 9 improved on it. Kts more precise and much faster. Also the battery lasted longer. The screen was larger so i can use the keyboard, but its better using siri to talk instead. And siri is way faster and understands better then on the series 4. Overall its a good upgrade cojing from an older device.

    This is my first Apple Watch and I must say I am very impressed. I'm not that crazy into the health features and whatnot but as a smartwatch, it is perfect. Very nice and smooth, works really well with the phone. My previous smartwatch (Galaxy watch) sucked when I came to talking if I ever needed to but this one has a great little speaker and really good microphones. Definitely recommend it if you're in the market for one. The bigger size is a must if you can. Doesn't look big on your wrist. Battery is also very very good. Lasts me two comfortable days. Maybe could force a third day but I'm not so sure about that. This velcro band is also really good. I never liked the silicon ones apple advertises.

    After about 6 years of using a couple of Fitbit Versa's, I made the transition to the Apple watch. It took some getting used to, actually I'm still getting used to it. I'm very impressed with the battery life and the screen is easy to read, which is important to this active senior citizen. Most of the Fitbit watches readily display your active steps in real time, with the Apple Watch, I had to download a third party app (Pacer) to display my active steps on my watch screen but it has to be refreshed from time to time from my iPhone. But as I become more familiar with all the functions, I really liked it and I'm finding it much less glitchy than the Fitbit.

    I bought this watch for my fiancé as a birthday gift and he absolutely loves it. He uses it every day for exercising, health and fitness tracking, messages, and general daily use. It’s become something he relies on constantly. It’s very easy to use and was simple to pair and set up. Everything works smoothly, and the interface is intuitive. Battery life has been solid, and it keeps up well with an active lifestyle. This is a great watch for anyone looking for something reliable, versatile, and easy to use. Highly recommend.

    bought this for my boyfriend who never had an Apple Watch before and now he wears his daily. he works with machinery and the watch has frequently been bumped around as well as had oil and dirt on it more than imaginable. yet there are still no scratches that show and the screen is still in one piece. holds up very well and normally lasts him 12+ hours on a charge.
