The Apple Watch 8 is one of the best smartwatches around, mostly because the Apple Watch has been getting it right since the first model.
However, the Watch 8 is the smallest update we’ve ever seen to the series, with only the temperature sensor and crash detection being offered as upgrades over the Watch 7 – the new software is good and offers some nice updates, but that’s coming to many older models.
Nothing has impressed us hugely about the latest model – given you can still buy new Watch 7 (or even Watch 6) units for less, we’d be more inclined to point you towards them.
The Watch 8 is still the smartwatch to get if you want a good, up-to-date timepiece to go with your iPhone – but it’s definitely not going to outshine the Watch Ultra.

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 shine.

The Apple Watch Series 8 adds new temperature sensors and Crash Detection, but there isn’t much reason to upgrade if you’re happy with what you’ve got. Still, this is the best Apple Watch for the majority of people.

New features including cycle tracking and car crash detection make the Apple Watch Series 8 a tempting upgrade and is great for newbies, but with an identical design to the Series 7, there’s not enough here to upgrade from last year’s wearable. It’s also more expensive in most regions outside the US.

Las nuevas funciones, como el seguimiento de ciclismo y la detección de accidentes de coche, hacen que el Apple Watch Series 8 sea una actualización tentadora.
Es ideal para los primerizos, aunque con un diseño idéntico al del Series 7, no hay suficientes motivos para pasarte al nuevo si ya tienes un wearable del año pasado.
Además, es más caro en la mayoría de las regiones fuera de Estados Unidos.

L’Apple Watch Series 8 fait tout ce que l’on attend d’une Apple Watch, avec quelques nouvelles fonctionnalités pour tenter ceux qui ne se sont pas encore lancés dans la montre Apple.
Cela dit, il n’y a pas assez d’éléments pour séduire quelqu’un qui possède une Apple Watch Series 7 car, en réalité, les deux modèles sont presque identiques. Bien sûr, il y a de nouveaux avantages, notamment la détection des accidents de voiture et le suivi de l’ovulation, mais la puce, le design et l’expérience sont largement inchangés.
L’Apple Watch Series 8 s’adresse plutôt aux nouveaux utilisateurs ou aux personnes possédant une Apple Watch plus ancienne et qui apprécieront l’écran et le design améliorés introduits par la Series 7, ainsi que la détection des accidents de voiture, le suivi de l’ovulation et le suivi de la condition physique de la Series 8.
L’Apple Watch Series 8 n’est peut-être pas la mise à jour la plus remarquable de l’histoire d’Apple, mais elle reste la meilleure montre connectée pour les utilisateurs d’iOS.
