Our take on the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS Aluminum Case Sport Band

The Apple Watch Series 8 is Apple's 2022 smartwatch, sold here in the aluminum GPS case with a silicone Sport Band. It adds a body temperature sensor and crash detection over the Series 7, and keeps the always-on Retina display, blood oxygen and ECG heart sensors, and 50m swimproof water resistance. The S8 chip is the same class as the Series 7, so the draw is the sensor set and iPhone integration rather than speed. At $174.49 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it sits well below its launch price of $399 and near the low end of its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is the Series 8 worth buying in 2026?
At $174.49 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it is a low-cost way into Apple Watch health tracking. It lacks newer features like sleep apnea detection, so check whether those matter to you.
What is the difference between the Series 8 and Series 7?
The Series 8 adds a body temperature sensor and crash detection. The display, case design and chip are close to the Series 7.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at about 18 hours of normal use, which usually means charging once a day. Low Power Mode stretches that further.
Can I use it with an Android phone?
No. The Apple Watch requires an iPhone running a recent version of iOS to set up and use.
