The Apple Watch Series 8 takes a page out of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch playbook. It now has crash detection and fall detection which connect you with emergency services in the event of either. In our Apple Watch Series 8 review, we rave over its gorgeous display, excellent UI and new stylish colors. The Apple Watch 8 is the Editor’s Choice smartwatch with an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Like the Watch Series 7, it features an Always-On Retina LTPO OLED display with up to 1,000 nits of brightness for comfortable outdoor viewing. The watch’s 396 x 484 pixels is super crisp. Outside of the new color options, side-by-side, the Watch Series 8 looks identical to the Series 7. For accurate health and fitness tracking, the Apple Watch Series 8 is well-equipped. Built-in sensors include: an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, optical heart rate sensor, barometer, temperature sensors and an always-on altimeter. IP6X water-and dust resistant, the Apple Watch Series 8 is made to withstand the elements of everyday wear. Overall, the Apple Watch Series 8 is a fantastic smartwatch for iPhone users. It’s a worthy upgrade if you’re sitting on an older model Apple Watch 6 and or earlier. Although Black Friday 2022 is on Nov. 25, retailers are letting Apple Black Friday deals out of the gate early.
