Cool “Double Tap” Trick
The Series 9 watch can do a neat trick called “Double Tap”. It works when you tap your fingers together. The watch is super smart and can feel tiny movements in your wrist and changes in your blood. With this trick, you can control music, set timers, and do other things on the watch easily.
Eco-Friendly Straps
Apple is also taking steps to be more environmentally conscious and sustainable. They have a new strap called FineWoven, which is made from recycled stuff. Also, it does not cause as much pollution as leather. There’s also the Sport Loop strap, made from recycled yarn. Apple says this watch is their first one that doesn’t hurt the environment.
