A new smartwatch from Apple will be released this year. But we give you three reasons why you should not buy the Apple Watch Series 9.
Don’t buy Apple Watch Series 9: these are 3 reasons
Every year there is a new Apple Watch and this year will be no different. We had already heard that the Apple Watch Series 9 will finally get a new chip and that is of course completely fine!
Unfortunately, according to a rumor on the Chinese website Weibo, it remains that way. The user ‘Instant Digital’ says the Apple Watch Series 9 are another minor upgrade. The update will therefore mainly focus on improving performance with the new chip.
A performance upgrade is nice, but not enough to buy a new smartwatch. We give you three other reasons why you should not (immediately) buy the Apple Watch Series 9.
1. Much remains the same
The main reason not to immediately buy the new Apple Watch is that (again) much remains the same. You will soon get an Apple Watch that has broadly the same appearance as the previous version (and older). We secretly think it’s high time that Apple took a serious look at the appearance of the Apple Watch.
2. The price
During the release you pay the suggested retail price. We expect the Apple Watch Series 9 to receive a suggested retail price of 499 euros. The Apple Watch Series 8 also had that price, but this smartwatch is already for sale for € 391.99.
If you opt for the Apple Watch Series 8, you miss out on a bit of performance and probably one or two new features. But you get an Apple Watch that can last for years to come and you are not a thief of your own wallet. The Apple Watch Series 9 will probably also become cheaper soon, but at least not in the first months after the release.
3. Apple Watch Ultra (2) is really new
Do you really want a new Apple Watch? Then you better go for the Apple Watch Ultra. According to rumors, there will also be a new version of the Apple Watch Ultra in addition to the Apple Watch Series 9.
The current Apple Watch Ultra looks different and is really a lot better than the regular Apple Watch. This way you can do a lot longer with a battery charge. By default this is 36 hours, but with the data saving mode even 60 hours. The Apple Watch Ultra is also larger and has a titanium housing. One drawback: it is a bit more expensive.
