Apple Watch Series 8 review: if it ain't broke - The Verge

The Verge said, ``It's hard to find a difference between Series 7 and Series 8. What I can point out is that the color and size of the terminal are different, and it's not an exaggeration to say that nothing has changed. Series The 8 still has two case sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and fewer body color options.' The Series 8's built-in chip is the S8 chip, which is 'the same as the S7 chip except for performance and battery life, which is basically the same as the S6 chip,' compared to the Series 7 S7 chip, according to The Verge.
The Series 8 has three new features: a skin temperature sensor consisting of two temperature sensors, a new high-gravity acceleration sensor, and a new gyroscope. These new sensors play an important role in enabling the Series 8's main new features, 'cycle tracking' and 'collision detection'.
The Series 8's skin temperature sensors are located on the back crystal, close to the skin, and another just below the display, allowing for more accurate skin temperature measurements by using two readings. I'm here. Unlike existing ECG, heart rate, and blood oxygen concentration sensors, 'Sleep Focus' and 'Sleep Tracking' must be enabled to measure wrist temperature using the skin temperature sensor. In addition, the Series 8 does not allow users to voluntarily measure body temperature using skin temperature sensors. If you sleep for 5 days while wearing the Series 8, the reference value of the wearer's body temperature will be triggered. After that, only when the user's wrist temperature deviates from the reference value, the wearer is notified, such as 'Body temperature has deviated from the reference value by XX degrees.'
Instead of displaying the measured body temperature, Apple Watch is not the only one equipped with a temperature sensor that notifies you when it deviates from the reference value. Oura Ring and Fitbit's temperature sensor seems to take a similar approach. Also, if you're tracking your menstrual cycle with the Health app, activating wrist temperature measurement will help you estimate your ovulation date. The Series 8 menstrual cycle tracking feature is not intended for medical use. However, similar functionality is offered by Natural Cycles and Clue, which are
In addition, The Verge, who actually used Series 8, said about the accuracy of the skin temperature sensor, ``It is difficult to say because it has only been used for about a week. However, it is almost consistent with the data obtained by Oura Ring . For example, a few nights ago, when Oura Ring notified me that my body temperature was 0.5 degrees higher than normal, Series 8 notified me that my body temperature was 0.41 degrees higher than normal.'
It seems that he tried to review the collision detection function, and he seems to have conducted experiments such as attaching Series 8 to the radio control and hitting it, but none of The Verge's reviewers confirmed the moment the collision detection was activated. It seems that I couldn't do it.
New watch faces, a redesigned compass app, low power mode, and more are all new to watchOS 9, but they're also great new features, according to The Verge. Low power mode isn't meant to guarantee multi-day battery life, but by limiting Wi-Fi/cellular traffic and turning off the always-on display and background sensor readings, you can get up to 36 hours of battery life. achieve duration.
In a workout-related update, The Verge said the ability to display heart rate zones in the WorkApp app 'will be a huge benefit for beginners transitioning to intermediate level workouts.'
In addition, The Verge lists the advantages of Apple Watch Series 8 as `` watchOS 9 is wonderful '', `` skin temperature sensor '', `` collision detection '', `` low power mode '', and the disadvantages are `` it is necessary to charge every day '' `` past number It is not much different from the model Apple Watch.' And in summary, 'It's a great smartwatch, but if you're happy with your current Apple Watch, there's no reason to upgrade.'
CNET also said that Series 8 has most of the same functions as Series 7, ``Because there was only a review period of about a week, the skin temperature sensor just hit the wrist temperature reference value, and the collision accident detection function Both of these features are very likely to be useful, but I can't judge how useful they are at this time.' I've made it a dire situation. CNET, like The Verge, says that ``the biggest update is the software'', and includes steps measurement via GPS that appeared in watchOS 9, a new compass app, a medication app, a multi-step sleep tracking function, low power mode, etc. He praised it and reported, ``Just upgrading to watchOS 9 makes you feel like you have a new Apple Watch.''
Apple Watch Series 8 Review in progress: My Thoughts After Wearing It for a Week-CNET

Engadget said about Series 8, ``It has become the most overlooked model sandwiched between the high-end model Apple Watch Ultra and the cheaper 2nd generation Apple Watch SE,'' and ``I'm excited about the appearance of Series 8. It's hard to imagine someone there.' Engadget also said that due to the short review time, I couldn't try menstrual cycle tracking or crash detection, but the ECG and blood oxygen saturation measurement functions are less frequently used, so they are more affordable than the Series 8. We assumed that the 2nd generation SE, which is available at a reasonable price, would be a better option for many people.

TheStreet said of the 2nd generation Apple Watch SE, ``Those who are new to Apple Watch or don't need all the healthcare-related features, don't need an always-on display, and who don't need the 1st generation Apple Watch to Series 3. It is said that it is a perfect model for those who are using the old model until now. However, for users who have used an always-on display in the past, ``It will be difficult to return to the second-generation SE without an always-on display,'' TheStreet points out.

The processor at the heart of the 2nd generation SE uses the same S8 chip as the Series 8. This makes the 2nd Gen SE up to 20% faster than the 1st Gen SE, delivering up to 1 second better performance than the 1st Gen SE in more intense use cases like starting a workout or measuring heart rate. It is said that there is.
The second-generation Apple Watch SE is very similar to the original SE, with two case sizes of 40mm and 44mm. The case is made of aluminum, and there are only three colors: Midnight, Silver, and Starlight. The big change is that the back part has been changed to composite material.
CNBC said, ``Series 8 does not have enough new features to justify an upgrade.Most of the valuable innovations will be available in watchOS 9.watchOS 9 is available on Apple Watch Series 4 and later models.'' He pointed out that the Series 8 has no significant upgrades. On the other hand, the second-generation Apple Watch SE is affordable, but equipped with the latest S8 chip, performance is fast and smooth, and features such as low power mode, sleep tracking, and collision detection are available. . One of the differences between the Series 8 and SE is the presence or absence of the U1 chip . The U1 chip is a chip to improve the accuracy of location tracking in the 'Find' app.
