The Apple Watch Series 9 is an iterative improvement on a family of products that have been leading the market since they first went on sale. 

It is ideal as an upgrade path for older Apple Watch users, though the more adventurous will probably prefer the new Apple Watch Ultra 2. 

While there is little to visually differentiate, the Apple Watch Series 9 from the Apple Watch Series 8, there are some big improvements under the hood, which help make this the best Apple Watch to date.
