Apple Watch Series 8, which Apple introduced at its event today, was expected by millions. Series 8, which comes with multiple models, was introduced with exciting new features.
Watch Series 8s have specs such as Cycle Tracking Data, temperature sensor, Crash Detection and others
As the ShiftDelete.Net family, we’ve been following the Apple Watch Series 8 for a long time. As predicted, Apple has improved the battery life in the new Watch series. Looking at the other competitor counterparts of Apple Watches, they had some shortcomings in charging. But we understand that this is also being worked on on the Apple Watch Series 8.
Cycle Tracking Data is a nice feature for women who come with the Apple Watch Series 8. With this feature, women will be able to track their menstrual cycle. The temperature sensor was an expected feature that we shared in our news earlier. But we didn’t know exactly what this feature would do. This feature, which will help women calculate their ovulation period, will combine with heart rate and other data to make much better predictions.
Another feature is Crash Detection, with this feature, smart watches will be able to share location in case of accident. They will be able to do this by measuring the G-force. With the Crash Detection feature, Apple Watch Series 8s will be able to share and inform any car accident situation with the emergency services and the emergency contact list. Apple has done a serious R&D study with driving tests exceeding 1 million hours. Therefore, we can say that it is a life-saving feature.
The sleep app will measure REM, core and deep sleep, as well as how long we sleep. In addition, it will report when you wake up and provide information about your sleep quality. The Meditation feature that comes with watchOS 9 will continue to be a useful feature.
Difference between Watch Series 8, Watch Series SE 2nd Generation and Watch Series 8 Ultra
As expected, Apple presented the SE in the Series 6 with the 8 as well. The SE will only come with an aluminum case (recyclable). It is also admirable that all Watch Series have the S8 chip. The Ultra has a 49mm screen but is pretty much the same as the Watch Series 8 and Series SE 2nd generation older cases.
The Watch Series 8 has 45mm or 41mm purchase options, while Series SE 2nd Generation has 44mm or 40mm screen sizes. In addition, the Series 8 Ultra will have a 49mm screen. Series 8 and Series 8 have Ultra Always-On Retina display, while Series SE 2nd Generation has Retina display. The Blood Oxygen app and ECG app from Series 8 and Series 8 Ultra will not be available on SE 2nd Generation.
