Our take on the Apple Watch Series 9

The Apple Watch Series 9 is Apple's 2023 smartwatch, built on the S9 chip with a 1.9-inch always-on display, double-tap gesture control and an on-device Siri. It covers health and fitness with heart rate, ECG, blood oxygen, sleep and cycle tracking, plus GPS and cellular options and 50m water resistance. The aluminum case comes in several colors with rubber or silicone bands. At $219.99 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it sits well below its launch price and near the low end of its recent range, with 6 stores listing it new.

What reviewers say

  • 4.7 / 5152 ratings

Owners rate the Series 9 highly, praising the bright screen, fast performance and reliable health tracking. Most complaints center on battery life that still needs a daily charge and on the iPhone-only limitation.

What people mention
  • Battery lifeCriticisedOwners say it needs a charge roughly every day, and heavy GPS or sleep tracking shortens that further.
  • DisplayPraisedThe 1.9-inch always-on screen is called bright and easy to read in direct sun.
  • PerformancePraisedThe S9 chip keeps apps, Siri and the double-tap gesture responsive.
  • Health trackingPraisedHeart rate, ECG and sleep data are described as consistent and simple to review.
  • IPhone onlyCriticisedAndroid users cannot pair it, which limits who can buy it.
  • Blood oxygenMixedThe SpO2 sensor is useful, but US units sold after early 2024 ship without it enabled.
