It also has always-on-display support with support for brightness as low as 1 nit. It comes with new colors and watch bands. Apple says that the Series 9 is its first-ever carbon-neutral product.

On the other hand, the Watch Ultra 2 has a larger OLED panel with the highest brightness in any Apple Watch. It boasts a 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The wearable has a titanium frame and comes with a variety of bands. It also has a new modular ultra watch face that shows the most information at a glance. It has a 36-hour battery life that can extend up to 72 hours with the help of low power mode.

As for other features, the duo supports precision finding with the help of the ultra-wide-band chip. It lets users find their iPhones’ precise location with the Apple Watch. There’s also the Double-tap feature to answer and accept calls with the index finger and thumb. Furthermore, Apple has introduced on-device Siri, where it will process requests on the watch itself and go to the cloud. Both wearables come with the latest watchOS 10 out of the box.
