Every year, Apple has a big event to announce its new products. From Airpods to MacBooks, it is always a mystery as to what updates the products will receive. Yet there is always a product that is always well made and often fails to disappoint. The Apple Watch.
On September 12, Apple announced a variety of items, including The Apple Watch Series Nine. The Apple Watch has always been a staple in the product line and it can be life changing for many people.
Senior Lelaina Block said “I use it to text if I dont have my phone on me, but I also use it to check my heart rate”.
The Apple Watch has accessible health features that prove to be important to many people. It has the ability to read the oxygen levels in blood and can take an electrocardiogram with the touch of a finger. These features help many people in the world, especially those with health problems.
Furthermore, the Apple Watch is a great activity tracker for athletes. It can track workouts and provide useful information, such as heart rate and navigation. It also provides competition between friends, giving awards and competing to see who closes their “rings”, graphics that track your progress to see how close you are to exercise goals, first by staying physically active.
Senior Athlete Garrett Polson said “I use it [the Apple Watch] to check my heart rate variability which helps me know how ready my body is to perform”.
The Series Nine comes with a much brighter screen than older models that can be seen in the full sun. It also has a new feature where you can tap your fingers together for any programmed function of your choosing. Finally, a new chip was installed for the watch, making it faster than ever before.
However, many people have some doubts. Many argue that it is extremely similar to the Series Eight, and are skeptical on its price point. The common argument is to buy the Series Eight rather than the Series Nine due to its lack of updates.
With all these new changes, it is no doubt that many people will be inclined to purchase an Apple Watch. With all of the features on the small device, it will be helpful to all of its users. The new watch starts at $399 and fluctuates based on the model purchased. Though pricey, it is worth the purchase to those who exercise, or just need it for health.
