Is the Series 8 worth it over the Series 7?

Only if you want temperature sensing for cycle tracking or Crash Detection. Otherwise the Series 7 offers the same display, sensors and battery life.

Does it work with Android phones?

No. The Apple Watch requires an iPhone to set up and use.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it at up to 18 hours of normal use, and a low-power mode extends that. Most owners charge it daily.

Yes. It carries a WR50 water resistance rating and is swimproof, and the Workout app tracks pool and open-water swims.

The watch with the Sport Band, a magnetic fast-charging USB-C cable, and paperwork. A power adapter is not included.

What does the temperature sensor do?

It tracks overnight wrist temperature to give retrospective ovulation estimates and improve cycle predictions. It is not a thermometer or a birth-control method.

About the Apple Watch Series 8 (2022) GPS 45 mm - Aluminium Silver - Sport band White

The Apple Watch Series 8 is a GPS smartwatch with a 45 mm aluminium case in silver and a white sport band. It has a large Always-On Retina display with narrow borders that reach the edge of the curved case. The display stays readable when your wrist is down and has room for complications.

It adds a temperature sensor that tracks wrist temperature during sleep. Cycle Tracking uses this data to give a retrospective estimate of when you likely ovulated and to improve period predictions. The watch also has an ECG app and a blood oxygen sensor for on-demand and background readings. The Sleep app shows time spent in REM, Core and Deep sleep, and the Medications app logs medications, vitamins and supplements.

Crash Detection can connect you with emergency services, share your location and notify your emergency contacts after a severe car crash. Fall Detection and Emergency SOS are also included. The enhanced Workout app offers Heart Rate Zones, customizable intervals and alerts for pace, heart rate, cadence and power. The watch supports Apple Fitness+, Maps, Apple Pay, Siri and Family Setup.
