The Apple Watch Series 9 is the best choice for anyone looking to pick up a new Apple Watch that isn't intensely outdoorsy like the Watch Ultra 2. There are a lot of benefits to the Apple Watch Series 9, including excellent performance, two size options that you can choose from based on wrist size, and more. While the latest Apple Watch is a perfectly durable device, it's never a bad idea to put a case on it.
Apple Watch Series 9 vs Watch SE: What's the difference?
Trying to figure out if the Apple Watch Series 9 or the Apple Watch SE is right for you? Let's figure it out together.The Apple Watch Series 9 is a nice upgrade from Apple, but it stays the same in one crucial area - dimensions. This means that a case that fits the Series 8 should slip onto the Series 9 like a glove.
That's worth knowing if you already have some older cases, but the selection we've named above will also give you a bunch of great options for new cases. Spigen, in particular, has a range of case types available, all of them offering slightly different features and designs for different needs.
There are also nice and affordable choices, but if you want something more premium and metallic you should find that side of things covered, too. Cases are nice, but you'll almost certainly also want to consider strap options for your Apple Watch Series 9, too - a new strap can completely change how your watch looks and feels, after all. Luckily, we've similarly gathered the best bands for you, here.
