Our review of the Apple Watch Series 9, including our testing of the new Double Tap gesture..
. Clenching twice will activate Assistive Touch,which brings up an outline around items on the screen. Then, pinching will move through individual elements and clenching will act like tapping on them.Assistive Touch is more complete and nuanced than Double Tap, as it has to help users access all of watchOS. Meanwhile, the new feature is more of a convenience and there’s only one action available. It also does very specific things. You’ll first have to make sure the Series 9 is awake.
Other advantages of on-device processing are more impactful. The ability to still ask Siri for help when offline or disconnected from my iPhone, for example, was a surprisingly simple upgrade. I left my paired iPhone 15 Pro at home when I went to the gym, and was relieved when I could still tell the assistant to record an outdoor walk when I made my way home .
Finally, with the Series 9, Apple is also adding “Raise to Speak.” In theory, this means you should be able to just bring the watch to your mouth and ask Siri for things. But in my experience, this barely worked half the time. I wish it were more consistent, because, and pardon my hyperbole here, when it did behave as expected, it felt almost magical. I’d lift my wrist and speak into the watch case, and the Siri icon would appear, along with the words I’d just uttered.
To see the new interface that tells you which direction your missing item is in, you’ll have to be more than five feet away from it. I came home from the gym and used the Series 9 to see where the iPhone was, and the onscreen arcs and distance indicators easily guided me to my couch where I had left it. As I got within five feet, the phone buzzed and rang, which helped in locating it.
There’s not much else drastically different about the Series 9 that you won’t get by updating to watchOS 10. That is, unless you like the new pink color option so much that you’re willing to buy a whole new device just for it . Springing for the latest hardware will get you the S9 SiP, which is supposed to process machine learning tasks up to twice as fast as the last generation while delivering 25 percent more power efficiency.
