Yes, an iPhone (Xs or later with iOS 17 or later) is required for the initial setup, pairing, and managing many of the Apple Watch's features and settings. However, with cellular connectivity, the watch can perform many functions independently of your iPhone once set up.

The Apple Watch Series 9 is water resistant to 50 meters, meaning it's suitable for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. It is not recommended for scuba diving, waterskiing, or high-velocity water sports.

Under normal usage, the Apple Watch Series 9 typically offers up to 18 hours of battery life. With Low Power Mode, it can extend up to 36 hours. Actual battery life varies based on usage, cellular activity, and settings.

First, verify that your cellular plan for Apple Watch is active with your carrier. Check for cellular signal strength on your watch. Try turning Airplane Mode on and off on your watch, or restart both your Apple Watch and paired iPhone.

Ensure the Double Tap feature is enabled in Settings > Gestures > Double Tap on your Apple Watch. Make sure your watch is snugly fitted on your wrist and wrist detection is enabled. Try performing the gesture with a more distinct motion.

Adjust display brightness, reduce background app refresh for less critical apps (Watch app > My Watch > General > Background App Refresh), turn off 'Always On Display' when not needed, and limit notifications from less important apps. Heavy cellular use will also drain the battery faster.

Perform a force restart by holding down both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. This typically resolves most temporary software glitches.
