Apple Watch Series 9 vs. SE 2: Top 12 Reasons to Consider an Upgrade
Series 9 is great, but it’s $150 more to get features you don’t need.

Summary:
In this video, I dive deep into the comparison between the Apple Watch SE 2 and the Series 9. Despite the anticipated upgrades of the Series 9, including the new double-tap feature and a faster chip, my comprehensive testing over several months reveals that the SE 2 still reigns supreme for most users. Its affordability and essential feature set make it a more practical choice.
I discuss both minor and major differences between the two models, examining features such as the Always-On screen, screen size, processing chip, battery life, and build materials. While the Series 9 boasts several incremental improvements, like the advanced U1 chip for iPhone finding and a brighter screen, these aren’t substantial enough to justify the extra cost for most users.
However, the Series 9 could be appealing if you value its collection of minor upgrades, or if you're seeking premium materials, in which case, the stainless steel models or the Apple Watch Ultra might be more fitting.

    Right out of the box, our Dyson Gen5Absolute had a rattle in the carpet cleaning head. Customer service conceded that the part is out of stock with no date for when it will be available (this is a HUGE problem with Dyson), so the unit had to be replaced. Dyson offered to ship us an exchange as soon as UPS received the defective unit. We recorded this conversation. Nevertheless, the next day, after we delivered the defective unit to UPS, customer service informed us that this was untrue. Dyson would not do an immediate exchange, but would ship a new unit only after it received and processed the unit, which would take up to 3 weeks (while Dyson sat on our money and the warranty triggered by our initial purchase continued to run.) In short, Dyson lied. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was assured that supervisor would call me back. No call. Dyson lied again. Even before we bought the unit, we got a bad taste of Dyson’s honesty. Customer service assured us that Dyson would price-match QVC’s sale price. This, too, proved to be untrue. Yet another lie. The vacuum may be great, but beware of Dyson. False assurances and unavailable replacement parts are a REAL problem.

    I have Eero installed. But when installing, I had to shut off the router of the internet provider and use the Eero router to enable Eero which I love (far better than my Internet Provider). However, since then I upgraded my security system which uses Google Home hardware. Somehow (sorry it was installed for me so do not appreciate all the nuances--I am like your parents!!) the Google Mesh was set up. BUT cannot install things like Google pod that tells me someone is at the door when I cannot hear the doorbell. THX

  • @user-uo8zi1os2u
    @user-uo8zi1os2u Місяць тому

    Thanks--nice review--appreciate discussing all of the nuances. So key question: When I hooked up my Eero system 2 years ago, I recall having to turn off my Internet Providers built in router before plugging in my Eero system and creating the Eero mesh. But now as I try to integrate GOOGLE HOME, it cannot connect to Eero Mesh. So do I connect to the original internet provider system and then turn off the router to again have the eero mesh and the google mesh????

    • @power_moves
      @power_moves Місяць тому

      What do you mean by integrate Google Home? You have a smart speaker and want to connect it to your network and it's not connecting? That doesn't sound like a Eero problem. Google devices will connect with any WiFi network. On the other hand, if you're trying to add a Google WiFi node to your Eero network, that's not possible.

    • @power_moves
      @power_moves Місяць тому

      Yes, it's compatible and a good idea! You'll have to play around with the placement of the new node though. You'll want it close to the garage, but still close enough to the gateway Eero that it gets a full signal.

      @power_moves Місяць тому

      If all Eero's in your network are the same model, they're interchangeable. If you have different models (like the 6 and Pro 6) in the same network, you want the one with the better specs to be used as the gateway (plugged into the modem).
