It is also advisable to keep your band in a dry place, away from moisture when not in use.
By adhering to these practical tips, you'll preserve the appearance and quality of your bands, prolonging their life and keeping them in excellent condition over the years.

Let's focus now onApple Watch Series 9. For this new model, Apple has not integrated any new health sensors, as was the case with the previous version. However,Apple Watch Series 9 is equipped with a new, faster and more powerful S9 chip.
This new, more powerful chip also means a brighter screen. In fact, theApple Watch Series 9 screen can reach 2000nits of brightness, double that of its predecessor. Perfect for reading in bright sunlight. On the other hand, to be more discreet, in a movie theater for example, the screen brightness of this new Apple Watch can go down to just 1nit. So you can use your connected watch without disturbing your neighbors.
Practical innovations
The great innovation of this Apple Watch Series 9 is the "double-touch" feature, which is also possible thanks to the new chip. This brand-new gesture, which consists of touching your thumb twice with your index finger, lets you control your Apple Watch without even touching the screen. You'll be able, for example, to answer a call or a message, stop the timer or pause the music just with this simple gesture. Perfect if you're busy and can't use both hands.

This is the case, for example, for some bands sport loops, alpine loops or bands trail.
