With the release of the new Apple Watch Series 8, there have been a lot of changes and improvements. So, is the new Apple Watch the best fitness watch on the market? Let’s take a closer look.
Design and Display
The design is one of the most noticeable changes with the iWatch Series 8. The most significant change is the addition of an always-on display. This means you can see the time and other important information without raising your wrist or tapping the screen. The Series 5 also has a new ceramic and sapphire crystal back for better cellular reception.
The display is also noticeably bigger—30% larger, to be exact. And it’s now made from brighter, low-temperature polysilicon and oxide LCD glass. This makes the display easier to read in direct sunlight. And for those who like to track their fitness progress, the Activity app has been updated to see more detailed information about your workout, including your heart rate and active calories burned.
Health and Safety Features
The Series 8 also has new health and safety features, making it an excellent choice for fitness enthusiasts. First, there’s the built-in ECG app. This uses electrodes in the Digital Crown and back crystal to measure your electrical heart activity. It can then tell if your heart rhythm is typical or if you might be at risk for atrial fibrillation—a type of irregular heart rhythm that can lead to serious health complications.
There’s also a new fall detection feature that can automatically call emergency services if you fall and can’t get up. And for those who like to hike or run in remote areas, there’s a new lone ranger mode that disables features like “Hey Siri” and Walkie-Talkie so your watch doesn’t accidentally activate them when you don’t want it to.
Conclusion:
The Apple Watch Series 8 is an excellent choice for fitness enthusiasts thanks to its updated design, large display, and new health and safety features. If you’re looking for a fitness watch that can do it all, the Apple Watch Series 8 should definitely be at the top of your list.
