About the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS+Cell 45mm Alum Case Red Sport Band - S/M

The Apple Watch Series 8 is a smartwatch with a 45mm aluminum case and a red sport band in size S/M. It has GPS and cellular connectivity. The Always-On Retina display has narrow borders that carry the screen to the edge of the case, and it stays readable when your wrist is down.

The watch has a thick front crystal, robust geometry and a flat base to resist cracking. It is dust resistant (IP6X) and swimproof with WR50 water resistance. A temperature sensor tracks wrist temperature during sleep. Cycle Tracking uses that data to estimate when you likely ovulated and to improve period predictions. It can also notify you of possible cycle deviations.

Other health tools include the ECG app, blood oxygen readings, the Sleep app with REM, Core and Deep stages, and the Medications app. Crash Detection can connect you with emergency services after a severe car crash. Fall Detection and Emergency SOS are also included. The enhanced Workout app adds Workout Views, Heart Rate Zones and customizable intervals.
