Apple Watch Series 9 was launched in September 2023 alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the iPhone 15 lineup. Although it shares similar design elements with the preceding model, the Apple Watch Series 8, the newer smartwatch offers a double tap gesture that is exclusive to the company’s 2023 models. The Apple Watch Series 9 comes in two case sizes — 41mm and 45mm and is also available in aluminium and stainless steel finishes. It is also offered in GPS and Cellular connectivity options. Apple’s current generation smartwatch can be bought in India at a reduced price, as part of an ongoing promotion on Flipkart.
