Our take on the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular 45mm Gold Stainless Steel Case with Starlight Sport Band - M/L

The Apple Watch Series 8 in a 45mm gold stainless steel case is Apple's premium take on its 2022 smartwatch. It adds a temperature sensor for overnight tracking and retrospective ovulation estimates, plus crash detection and the same ECG and blood oxygen apps as the Series 7. The stainless steel case and sapphire crystal front make it tougher and dressier than the aluminum models, and the cellular radio lets it work without an iPhone nearby. It suits iPhone owners who want health tracking and a watch that looks at home with a suit, and it is a modest step up from the Series 7 rather than a reinvention.
