Does the Apple Watch Series 9 need an iPhone to work?

An iPhone is required for initial setup and to access the full range of features. GPS-only models rely on a paired iPhone for some functions; a GPS + Cellular model can make calls and use data without the iPhone nearby once cellular is activated, but many features (app installations, software updates, backups) still require an iPhone.

How long does the battery last on the Series 9?

Battery life depends on usage. Typical daily mixed-use battery life is generally advertised for about a day (around 18 hours in many usage patterns). Heavy use of GPS, cellular, calls, or workouts will reduce battery life; enabling low-power modes or turning off Always-On Display can extend it.

Is the Apple Watch Series 9 suitable for swimming?

Yes — Series 9 is water resistant and designed for shallow-water activities such as swimming in a pool or ocean. Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or sweat, and avoid high-velocity water or deep submersion beyond its rated resistance.
