I didn't even know that you'd access the SOS feature that way. That has never happened to me, not a single time. Not sure why it's happening to your wife so easily. Taking a look at how the buttons are presently mapped, I actually see this as a logical improvement.

If you can afford the latest and greatest and spending doesn’t matter, the 9 is an amazing choice. But if I was dipping into smart watches and I were cost conscious, the SE 2 GPS is amazing too. And you can get an SE 2 pretty cheap right now, even in the 44 mm size.

How do you change the watch face? Swipe left?

It’s the ink. But this reminds me of the very first AW I ever got. It had a bad sensor and it returned to the Lock Screen constantly. I didn’t know jack about the AW and I thought maybe it was a feature. Took me a couple of hours to realize it. During that time I’m thinking, “This thing really sucks!”

#1 … making a call from a Contact. #2 … constructing a text from a Contact with speech-to-text. #3 … reading and responding to incoming texts. #4 … setting timers and alarms. #5 … music volume control. #6 … weather status. #7 … time, including time in other cities. I’m experimenting with using it to get directions from Maps, but honestly I don’t like the Maps app much so I use this sparingly. Also experimenting using it to play things on Spotify. That hasn’t proved very reliable.

 

I may be one of the few who upgraded from an SE to a 9 because of the onboard Siri. I commute 2.5 hours a day. During that time, I try to get some of my business done. I think that the Siri experience is a lot better now. The responses are definitely faster, and they rarely get dropped. I feel like the responses are more consistently on point. I also believe that the speech-to-text is more accurate.

Siri’s still not perfect by any means, and I’m still amazed and disappointed that Apple has neglected her for so long. (Among so many smaller issues, misspelling a name when you’re responding through a Contact where the name is spelled out correctly. I could go on and on…)

What do you all think? Is Siri a part of your life, and has the 9 advanced her relevance to you?

This is e-waste at this point. RIP 6.
