Apple’s latest smartwatch looks little changed on the face of it – but looks can be deceiving. In fact, the Apple Watch Series 9 is packed with all kinds of changes, most of them good. For a start, this year’s Apple Watch is slightly cheaper than before with prices starting at £399 for the 41mm and £429 for the 45mm, netting you a £20 saving over the Series 8. It also comes in new colours, with the aluminium version available in Pink, Midnight, Starlight, Silver and (Product) Red; and the Stainless Steel (which starts at £699) coming in Gold, Silver and Graphite. Going hand in hand (ahem) with the new colours are a range of new straps, giving Apple the chance to crow about its eco credentials. Team your Apple Watch Series 9 with a Sport Loop, for example, and you’ll end up with buying Apple’s first carbon neutral product. The company has even teamed up with Nike and Hermès to produce eco-friendly versions of their straps and loops, with the company effectively banning leather from its product line-up.
