You ’d be forgive if you scramble to name anything new about theApple Watch Series 9 . All of the alteration ( other than the new pink people of color ) are under the hood , with a novel S9 SiP , U2 ultra - wide band flake , and bright presentation .
However , the most intriguing new feature is a new dual - tap motion that let you control some Apple Watch Series 9 commands without touching the show . All you need to do is tap the indicant finger’s breadth and thumb of your sentry hired man together twice to trigger the chief function in an app , such as answering or stop a call , playing and pause euphony , or drowse an alarm . It ’s a neat feature that could definitely come in handy ( excuse the pun ) when your other hired hand is full .
