Dressed in a fuchsia pink pantsuit, the Olympic medallist found the double-tap feature the most helpful. "When I am playing and something comes up on a call, I can use the double-tap feature to mute or accept it."
With double-tap gesture, users can easily control the Watch 9 using just one hand and without touching the display.
Just use the index finger and thumb of the watch hand to pinch together twice and perform common actions on the device like answering a call, ending a call, changing music, stopping a timer, snoozing an alarm, scrolling through widgets and so much more.
Talking about the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Sindhu said that it has the best offering for athletes.
Sindhu also mentioned the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. She said she loved the subtle new colours it has to offer. She also was in awe of the "super super light" iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max with an all-new titanium look and mute button. She said she was thankful for the Type C-USB charging cable. "I don't have to carry a lot of chargers anymore," she added.
In her leisure time, Sindhu loves to indulge in gaming and is thankful to the Apple team for the new graphic card update in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. "For gamers, details and clarity are very important," she said.
This is Sindhu's first time visiting and experiencing Apple Park. She also had a chance to meet Apple CEO Tim Cook for the first time. "It was an honour meeting Tim. I couldn't meet him when he was in India for a week-long trip as I was at a tournament," she said.
The 28-year-old also took to social media to share special moments from the Apple event and the tech billionaire Tim Cook.
Calling it an "unforgettable moment", Sindhu thanked Cook for having her at the event. "It was a pleasure to see the stunning Apple Park and to meeting you! I will gladly take you up on the offer to play badminton when you visit India next," she wrote in her post.

Hours later, she dropped another string of images from her chat with Cook. "I find myself immersed in an #apple keynote event that promises innovation, excitement, surprises and of course a great conversation. Thank you, Tim Cook," her caption read.
