I bought the Apple Watch series 8 cellular and I love it. It's the perfect incremental improvement over previous versions. It's just better and better. Especially compared to my SE Apple watch, which I upgraded from. The series 8 has a larger and brighter display, with thinner bezels and rounded corners. It also has a faster and more efficient processor, which makes everything run smoother and faster. The battery life is also improved, and it can last for a full day or more with moderate use. The cellular feature is also very convenient, as it allows me to make calls, send messages, stream music, and use apps without my iPhone nearby. It's great for when I'm out for a run, a hike, or a bike ride. The series 8 also has some new features that I really like. It has a body temperature sensor, which can track my body temperature and warn me if I have a fever or an infection. This feature is very useful and helpful for my health and wellness. The series 8 also has some improved features that I already enjoyed on my SE. It has a better heart rate sensor, which can measure my heart rate more accurately and reliably. It also has a better ECG app, which can detect irregular heart rhythms and atrial fibrillation. It also has a better fall detection feature, which can detect if I fall and call for help if I don't respond. It also has a better noise app, which can measure the sound levels around me and protect my hearing. The series 8 also has some features that I don't use much, but I appreciate having them. It has an always-on display, which can show me the time and some basic information without me having to raise my wrist or tap the screen. It also has a compass, which can show me the direction and elevation. It also has an altimeter, which can show me the altitude and air pressure. It also has an international emergency calling feature, which can call for help in any country with cellular service. The series 8 is compatible with all the apps and accessories that I already use with my SE. It works well with my AirPods, my wireless charger, my watch bands, and my iPhone. It also works well with all the apps that I use regularly, such as Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, Apple Pay, Apple Maps, Apple Health, and more. It also supports some new apps that I'm interested in trying out, such as Apple Wallet, Apple Translate, Apple Podcasts, and more. The series 8 is easy to set up and use. It pairs seamlessly with my iPhone and syncs all my data and settings. It also updates automatically and backs up to iCloud. It also has a user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. It responds well to touch, voice, gestures, and the digital crown. It also has Siri, which can answer my questions and do tasks for me. The series 8 is stylish and comfortable to wear. It comes in different sizes, colors, materials, and finishes. It also comes with different watch bands that are easy to change and customize. It fits well on my wrist and doesn't feel too heavy or bulky. It also looks good with any outfit and occasion. The series 8 is worth every penny. It's the best smartwatch on the market right now. It's a powerful and versatile device that can do so many things for me. It's a great companion for my iPhone and a great accessory for myself. It's a perfect incremental improvement over previous versions. It's just better and better. I would recommend the series 8 to anyone who wants to upgrade their smartwatch or get their first one. It's a great device that can enhance your life in many ways. It's a must-have for any Apple fan or anyone who loves technology. You won't regret getting it. Read more
General: I bought this for myself as an early birthday gift. I LOVE this watch. I used to have a Fitbit over a decade ago. I haven't really worn a watch since. I was most interested in ovulation tracking. The basal body temp reading works perfectly. I see a lot of men complaining about this feature, but you can see the actual temp reading in the health app, not just the delta from baseline. So those complaints aren't valid. The health readings are so plentiful and accurate. I LOVE the cellular version, and it's a must. I bought this on sale during Black Friday 2022, and Amazon had better deals than any other retailer on this watch. The cost of the GPS+Cellular that I got on sale was just slightly more than the Series 8 GPS only watch. I love tracking my fitness and calories lost. I love customizing the watch faces. It does everything I could ever want. It's soooo cool! I use it all the time. I also put a cover on mine so that it lasts. You probably can't tell I have a little cover on it in the photo, no? Battery: The battery lasts a really long time for me. The USB-C charger means that I can charge my watch really fast. I take it off to charge when I shower in the morning and again when I shower or eat dinner at night. It charges so fast. I could go easily 2 days without charging (36 hrs+). GPS + Cellular: I believe GPS + Cellular is a MUST for this watch and any smart watch. The idea that you can do it all from your wrist is really fascinating. I never had this feature before. I used to have a Creative Zen mp3 that was huge and could only play music. Now my Apple Watch can do it all and even track GPS and cellular for emergency or leisure calls. Look: The watch is gorgeous. The white sports band is easy to clean. I do running, yoga, skating, golf, and weight lifting mostly. I haven't taken it swimming nor do I wear it while showering (personal preference). I find that with my watch case, and my personal usage style, the watch looks very beautiful and durable. Smart watch features: There are so many cool apps on here. I love the compass app because I live in the mountains and hike a lot. I love the App Store and have an app to track my golf shots on the golf course! I love the sleep app because I can track my health/mood by seeing my health and sleep data. Conclusion: This watch is sensational. I LOVE it! I'm grateful that Amazon had major deals in 2022 on this an the Apple Watch Ultra. I got the Ultra $70+ cheaper off Amazon than anywhere else. I got the Series 8 GPS + Cellular about $60 off as well. This watch is so fun to use. Treat yourself. Buy it. Read more
I purchased this watch as an upgrade from my 5 series and I am so glad I did! This watch has a bigger screen which while comparing the size by number doesn’t seem much but for me is a generous difference which is helpful for my eyesight. I love the starlight color of both the bezel and the watch band. They are a soft neutral color but very beautiful. The added O2 feature is an added bonus for not only working out but also for my medical issues. It has many-manyfeatures yet easy to use even if you’re not tech savvy. My most favorite thing about this is this version has a keyboard. I have issues with voice to text/commands understanding me, as well as I don’t have time to draw out wording so the keyboard is unbelievably helpful. The watch band is super soft and very comfortable that I can wear if all day and even sleep with it. The one downside which wasn’t a big deal for me as it’s the size I wear but might be for someone else is the watch only came with one band size option. This size is the small version of previous watches and bands I’ve purchased. Previously there were two size options of small and medium, so while this listing said Small/Medium that wasn’t what I received. The quality of the watch is terrific just like my other watches so I know this watch is going to last for years to come. I definitely recommend this watch! Read more
