Apple Watch Series 8 review: the best Apple Watch gets better

 

Have an iPhone? Looking for a smartwatch? The Apple Watch Series 8 is the new go-to pick. It's powerful, familiar, and oh-so-good at everything it does.

Sleek, comfortable design Display is big and gorgeous Excellent health features Fast charge speeds watchOS 9 is better than ever Car crash detection

Temperature sensors are limited Almost identical to the Series 7

“Powerful, comfortable, and familiar. The Apple Watch Series 8 isn't a revolution in Apple's portfolio, but it's still the best smartwatch you can buy.”

Apple Watch Series 8 Review

 

Overnight temperature sensing ; Car crash detection ; Improved battery life ; More accurate period predictions

Same design as previous model ; Limited usefulness for retrospective ovulation estimates

With new features such as body temperature sensing and car crash detection, the Apple Watch Series 8 is the right choice for most smartwatch buyers.

Apple Watch Series 8 review: Should you upgrade?

 

One of the best smartwatches you can buy is oddly hard to recommend

Gorgeous display ; Stylish new colors ; New menstrual and ovulation tracking ; Superior UI to the competition ; Enhanced sleep tracking

Identical design to the Series 7 ; Improvements only minor ; Still weak battery life ; Many folks can get away with cheaper SE

The Apple Watch Series 8 is, objectively, a fantastic smartwatch for iPhone users — growing into one of the best wearables over years of iterative updates. But with the SE offering a similar experience at a lower price and the Ultra giving more...

Apple Watch Series 8 review: copy-paste?

 

The Apple Watch Series 8 adds a couple of little improvements to an already successful formula.

Beautiful look, premium feel ; Smooth performance ; Tons of bands available - 1st and 3rd party ; Water-resistant ; Huge amount of fitness tracking options, plus custom programs (available with watchOS 9) ; Sleep stages (available with watchOS 9)

Temperature sensor is underused ; Some may be getting tired with the design ; Only pairs and activates with iPhone (sorry, iPad users)

Apple Watch 8 is a sleeper hit, even if it doesn't match Samsung's sensors

 

Review: The Apple Watch Series 8 upgrades workouts, sleep tracking, and women's health. Battery life and the always-on display are better, too.

watchOS 9 brings new health and fitness features ; Enhanced sleep tracking for more accurate insights ; Temperature tracking can improve women's health ; Impressive battery life ; Always-on display keeps getting better

No major hardware upgrades from the Apple Watch Series 7 ; Doesn't match all of the sensors in Samsung watches

Apple Watch Series 9 Review – The Final Piece of Puzzle

 

The Apple Watch Series 9 completes the Apple ecosystem and brings several interesting features compared to its predecessor. Check out our review on what we think about it after using it for over 2 weeks.

+ Plenty of aftermarket accessories to customize to your flavor ; + Gorgeous LTPO OLED display ; + Full day battery guaranteed ; + Almost instantaneous charging ; + Gestures control ; + Improved "Find My" feature to locate your iPhone

- Overwhelmingly health conscious ; - Gestures are still very limited ; - Proprietary charger means I need to carry another cable just for it

If you have an Apple ecosystem around you, then you will quickly realize how the Apple Watch completes the final puzzle piece. If you don't, it would just feel like another smartwatch with very beautiful display for you.

Apple Watch Series 8 review

 

The Apple Watch Series 8 gets a skin temperature reader, low power mode and crash detection to make the best smartwatch around a tick better. But the design and watchOS 9 are what really make Series 8

Apple Watch Series 8: Watches don't come much smarter than this

 

The changes this year are small, but the Apple Watch Series 8 remains an excellent buy.

Bright always-on screen ; Growing mix of health sensors ; Crash detection feature ; Fast and smooth performance

Temperature sensor has limited uses ; Battery life lower than fitness watches ; Feels like slow upgrade progress ; Only works with iPhone still

There's little in the Apple Watch Series 8 to tempt people to upgrade from recent models, but it remains an excellent balance of health, fitness, productivity and app support overall. Battery life is still much lower than dedicated fitness watches, but...
