    I purchased the series 8 41mm and i had it for over 2 weeks now. I upgraded from a series 5 40mm. I like the size of the 41mm it is very comfortable and it does not get annoying wearing it all day. The screen is big enough where you are able to read every message but the keyboard is too small and hard to type on. The battery life it pretty good and i can use it from 6am-5pm and the battery has not dropped below 40% the 2 week i used this watch.

    The Apple Watch Series 8 41mm with a Starlight Aluminum Case and Sport Band is a sleek, stylish smartwatch that combines functionality with elegance. The 41mm size is perfect for a comfortable fit on most wrists, and the Starlight color adds a modern touch. The GPS functionality provides accurate location tracking, and the watch's health features, including heart rate monitoring and advanced fitness tracking, are top-notch. The Sport Band is durable and comfortable for all-day wear. Overall, the Series 8 delivers a great mix of style, performance, and practicality, making it an excellent choice for both fitness enthusiasts and tech lovers.

    Streamlines life on the go and makes keeping up effortless. I wished I would have purchased this a long time ago. Easy setup and a ton of accessories are available for this watch. Not only does it tell time and adds an extension to m phone, but it monitors all of my vitals for working out and sleeping... Almost too good to be true for sush an awesome price...

    Loving my Apple Watch Series 8 overall! Sleek design, cool features, and great fitness tracking. However, setting up notifications for certain apps got me scratching my head. A bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's a stellar addition to your tech arsenal.

    Tried an Apple watch 4 years ago, too confusing. Returned it. Stilll had old reliable Seiko from 1980. Then it just quit. Decided to try Apple watch again. The 8 is great! So intuitive. The silly cone band had to go right away. A leather band with quick clasp is working slick.

    This is my first Apple Watch after only using fitbit. I LOVE this watch and loved it so much I bought my husband and mom one too. Definitely helps motivate me to move more and love all the additional features that come with it. Charge last about 1.5-2 days

    Apple Watch Series 8 is Great!

    I owned an Apple Watch Series 0, then a Series 3, and have been needing an upgrade for a few years. I don't find $400+ in value for any watch, so I waited for the Series 8 and go on sale and then bought an open box in excellent condition for $279 (40 mm size). The Series 8 is Great!. Love the new features including EKG (at 55 years old it doesn't hurt to have a heart monitor watching out for heart irregularities.) The Blood O2 is a nice too, and the overall watch performance (speed, connectivity to the iPhone, etc.) are much improved over the older generations. The battery is definitely better. I get through a day with around 40-50% left before I charge it overnight. That's better than any new watch I have owned. I'm very happy with my purchase and even more happy to save $120 (30%!) at Best Buy. You won't find that price at an Apple Store.

    Sleek design, has a little weight to it. I absolutely love it, I’ve had other similar watchers but this is definitely my favorite. Changing bangs, is probably my hobby now. I have a small wrist so the 41 looks just right.

    Coming from a series 6, this was a decent jump. Not too much has changed, but the slight increase in screen size has made such a big difference. Battery lasts nearly a full day, and colors are vivid and accurate.

    The Apple Watch motivates me to go to the gym because my data is transparent and real-time. Seeing messages on the watch is essential for me, as I no longer have to constantly reach for my phone. Locating my iPhone using the watch is very helpful, as I always misplace my phone and now it's easier to find. Answering calls on the watch during workouts is very convenient. Using the map on the watch is amazing because you don't have to walk around with your phone in hand; you can track your route on the watch.

    The Apple Watch, with its elegant form, user-friendly interface, and seamless iPhone connectivity, is a dependable and adaptable companion for everyday use and fitness tracking. Its long battery life—up to two days with regular use—is its best feature. It offers responsive touch controls, fast app launches, seamless performance, and useful health features.

    Solid replacement for an older version

    This was a purchase for my wife. She likes the smaller size while I have the larger size. This replaced her Apple Watch 4 that had a failing battery after a few years of use. The new version is faster and has a few more features, but is overall the same as that older version. The always on screen is a nice feature and doesn’t seem to affect battery life. Overall, I would recommend the 8 to others looking to upgrade and save a few bucks over the newly released version 9.
