The new generation of Apple smartwatches is already among us. During the Wonderlust event, where we also learned about the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro, the company introduced Apple Watch Series 9 And Apple Watch Ultra 2. Unfortunately, the most productive model, Apple Watch SEthis time he ran out of important news.
Now that we have access to all the official features of the new wearable devicesit is worth analyzing them to identify them differences, of which there are many. In fact, we will also add to the comparison the Apple Watch SE, which, despite maintaining the technical specifications, is equipped with new eco-friendly bands.
First of all, it is important to note that Each Apple Watch is designed for a different audience.. Apart from the obvious difference in prices, its characteristics, both internal and external, are aimed at meeting different needs.
Apple Watch SE from 40 or 44 mm, continues to be an option for the masses. This is a reduced price option, but that doesn’t mean it’s very limited in terms of functionality. In fact, if we talk about the software, it has some features present in its older brother Apple Watch Series 9.
For its part, Apple Watch Series 9 is a version that not only offers you a wide range of tools for monitor your health and physical activity, but also attracts attention with its design. Available in versions 41 and 45 mm, we must remember that this model can be purchased with a stainless steel case, ideal for showing off. After all, it is still a fashion product.
Finally, we have a true titan, one that is ready to withstand the most adverse weather conditions. Apple Watch Ultra 2 – for those who love Extreme Sports. His Titanium case 49 mm thick. gives it greater strength and hardness. The screen, the largest ever on Apple Watch, is perfect for viewing more information in one view. Perhaps its design, which is decidedly rougher and less refined, will not suit your clothbut that is not his goal.
This year, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 panel boasts up to 3000 nits. Even if you are in a bright room, you will not have any difficulty seeing its screen. For comparison, Apple Watch Series 9 2000 nitswhile the Apple Watch SE lags in 1000.
Inside we also find differences. While the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 used the new S9 processorApple Watch SE continues to depend on S8. What are the advantages of the new generation chip? The company claims Siri is significantly faster and tracks more accurately. Of course, you will also notice an increase in overall system performance across all of its functions.
Let’s move on to sensors for monitoring health and physical activity, There is no point in comparing. Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 bring SE to the streets. Both integrate applications for measuring blood oxygen and performing an electrocardiogram (ECG). They also offer notifications for high/low heart rate and irregular rhythm. They have a temperature sensor and period tracking through cycle management. The latter is present in Apple Watch SE, but the others are not.
Of course, they’re all capable of making emergency sounds, making emergency calls, and detecting falls or accidents—in your car.
You should know that Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 9 waterproof at maximum depth 50 meters. Apple Watch Ultra 2 triumphs with resistance up to 100 meters. Executives led by Tim Cook are promoting it as the ideal device to accompany you during water sports and even recreational diving.
Finally, there is a problem with the battery. Apple Watch SE promises approximate autonomy 18 hours. Apple Watch Series 9 maintains this figure, but can be extended to 36 hours with Battery Saver Mode. Apple Watch Ultra 2 boasts basic battery life 36 hours, which can increase to 72 with the same modality. Be careful: the last two models support fast charging.
