Apple’s Watch Series 8 is more reliable than ever
We gave the Watch Series 8 a 4.5 stars rating out of 5 in our review, which is a solid score for a smartwatch. In terms of design it’s little changed compared to the Watch Series 7. However, Apple introduced vital under the hood features to the latest generation, making it a worthy upgrade if you’re coming from much older Watch Series models.
For starters, the Watch Series 8 supports Crash Detection that is enabled by a high G-force sensor and advanced accelerometer and gyroscope. The array of components allows the wearable to intelligently detect if you’re involved in an accident. It can even initiate calling the emergency responders through your iPhone or directly to the watch with cellular connectivity, and it is already proven effective in saving lives.
The other notable addition to the Watch Series 8 is a new temperature sensor. This improves the extensive health and fitness monitoring features. For instance, it can help provide a more accurate menstrual cycle prediction for women or prompts a user of abnormal body temperature levels during sleep.
At the discounted cost, the Watch Series 8 becomes an irresistible offer, especially for those iPhone users who are due for a watch upgrade or simply looking to take advantage of the extended Apple ecosystem.
