Custom Apple silicon makes Apple Watch Series 9 more capable, more intuitive, and faster. The dual-core CPU has 5.6 billion transistors — 60 percent more than the S8 chip. A four-core Neural Engine processes machine learning tasks up to two times faster. It enables a number of innovations, including the double tap gesture.
Gestures
Magic. At your fingertips.
Gestures make Apple Watch even easier to use anytime, especially when your hands are full. Just double tap your index finger and thumb together to answer a call, open a notification, play and pause music, and more.
2x brighter display
A brilliant breakthrough.
The advanced display system in Series 9 boosts the maximum brightness up to 2000 nits — double Series 8 — so it’s easier to read in full sun. It’s also better in low‑light situations, like a movie theater, because it dims to just 1 nit.
