Sarah has been an Apple user for a while now, so when Apple announced their yearly Watch update with the new Series 9, she was curious to see if the Series 8 she got last year was suddenly out of date. With faster processing speeds, Siri on device, and a new double tap gesture, are these new features worth the upgrade or is her purchase safe for another year?

I think Sarah is great for this because she's kinda the target audience, those who are open to tech but aren't tech heads like a lot of us

I agree. Some of the LTT content is just so in the weeds, I stop the video half way through. Sarah is much more interesting for the regular stuff without telling me which GPU setting is necessary in the Bios to play Counterstrike 2.

Its actually 1 sec and 500 milisec to detect, not 1 sec and 50 milisec. This pinch feature is useful for people who only have 1 hand. The major feature will be when apple watch can detect butt clench so you can set more custom actions.

@heyspookyboogie644 7 ай бұрын

The assistive touch double tap / clench aren’t particularly consistent. Either lots of false triggers or you have to go through extra steps of an activation gesture. So far it hasn’t seemed like the S9 version makes a meaningful difference.

@The.JZA. 7 ай бұрын

I've been using the assistive touch feature on my Apple Watch Ultra for a few weeks now which is very similar to the "double tap" feature and I find it super handy. For example, say I am riding my bike and I get a phone call. In the past I would have to try to answer it with my nose but now I can just double tap my fingers and it answers. Handy for dissmissing alarms and timers as well. I think it's handy to have. Dont expect to be able to control your whole watch though, its just a simple tool for when your other hand is busy.

As a woman, I like seeing Sarah review and wear different tech products like this. When I watch reviews for Apple products, it’s mostly men who encourage getting the max size in phones or watches or other brands’ headphones saying it’s worth the upgrade, but it’s much easier for me to get an idea for what size to get when occasionally other women review these products so I don’t have absurdly large tech on my arm and can tell what size to order since I also don’t have an Apple Store near me to be able to go and look at things beforehand. Just a minor thing but I appreciate it and she has a fun personality too! Thanks for the variety on this channel.

When the double tap was announced and people online started pointing out that assistive touch already provides that functionality, I tried it out on my SE and I use it all the time now. Mostly for playing/pausing music and returning to the watch face, but I find it to work pretty well and I really enjoy the feature. I still can’t figure out what the difference between the new double tap functionality and assistive touch is…

@bland9876 7 ай бұрын

I heard disabled people are more likely to use something if they don't feel like it is targeting them. That's why you see those dumb commercials with the black and white segment of someone utterly failing life before they introduce the product. "look even normal people struggle with this task." plus it gives them something to market to make the new one look like it has more cool new features.

I'm not a potential customer for an apple watch but i really liked the video just the way sarah does it.

Why

@homermorisson9135 7 ай бұрын

Even my Watch SE can be controlled without touching it, via Gestures, and it works phenomenally well, for which I'm extremely thankful, as I'm actually disabled and need to be able to control a device even when I don't have a second hand free, as that second hand is glued to the one crutch that's keeping me (somewhat) upright.

@homermorisson9135 7 ай бұрын

Don't understand the beta upgrade talk... the Gesture feature has been part of Apple Watch for several years now, to be found under Accessiblity settings. As I said, even my low-end SE has that feature, and I've had this watch for ... 3 or 4 years now, IIRC.

I'm sure you tried it, but every time I go to set up a new Apple device from an existing iPhone, I need to restart the existing iPhone to get it to work. I think if the phone hasn't been rebooted in a while it likes to fail. I don't think I've run a phone down to 0% for years and don't really reboot so if Sarah's similar I bet it's the same issue.

A lot of companies make nice watch bands. Almost nobody makes nice watch CLASPS. I don’t get it. Apple has made a bunch of nice ones and next to nobody else does. Like every butterfly clasp is really uncomfortable unlike apples that sits flush with the bracelet part. Or their super nice leather magnetic clasp one they discontinued (and never made in a men’s size/style 😢) etc. Nicest I’ve found is Pitaka’s carbon fiber band clasp.
