    I’ve owned a few Apple Watches before but this one is by far the best in my opinion. In the past I struggled with Apple not having a sleep app for me to track sleep so I always ended up wearing my Fitbit most of the time. Well finally Apple has added a sleep tracker which has outdone Fitbit! I love all the new features on my new watch. Sure you can get the SE for a lot cheaper but for me personally it was really important to have the temperature tracking for ovulation purposes. Everything works as it should on the Series 8 and I also noticed a big change in battery life. I’m really happy with this watch and am glad I upgraded!

    This generation of Apple Watch is not much different than previous releases. However, it is more refined, the OS is more stable, battery life is better, the sensors are the same but the gyroscope seems to be more accurate in recording the activities.

    Awesome watch. Love the always on feature. Really make you feel like you’re wearing a real watch without having to tap the screen to always see the time . The battery like is just awesome . Usually only have to charge watch after a day and a half to two days .

    Cool watch. It keeps track of everything that pertains to your health. Great watch, something to consider is the alert feature that can self activate if you fall or are in an accident. Super useful for the elderly as well as for the less elderly.

    I absolutely love my Apple Watch. I can track my sleep, my habits and some of the features track my blood oxygen levels and my heart. For me those are really important and they work really well. Setup was easy and I never want to take it off!

    The gold standard of smart watches still. Got this for a present for my mother and she loves how it lets her track her health, keep her connected if her phone isn’t nearby, and offers well beyond the utility of a traditional watch. She is now a smart watch convert!

    I had put off buying an apple watch for a while and finally decided to buy this one. I love it, especially for tracking my activity and at the gym. I chose the smaller size because I do have smaller wrists.

    Fall detection — even in the shower!

    I bought my first Apple Watch (Series 5) for fall detection. When the fall detection is triggered, the watch asks if I need help and will call 911 and people I’ve identified as emergency contacts if I don’t answer. I bought this watch (Series 8) to wear when the other is charging and when I’m in the shower. The Series 8 watch can be worn in water—a new feature. I have found that either watch detects falls more accurately than a health alarm system that required a monthly subscription. The subscription service had three false alarms in a month and even brought paramedics to my door once. When the watch “thinks” I have fallen, it’s easy for me to respond that I’m ok. With these watches, I have met my goal of 24 hour fall detection without having to wear an extra device around my neck and without a subscription.

    41mm is good enough

    Don't underestimate the 41mm size. It packs the same processing power and features as its larger sibling, making it perfect for those with smaller wrists or who prefer a sleeker look.

    Finally broke down to get one - wanted it primarily for sleep tracking and Apple Pay. Turns out I also like the haptic notifications, including the morning alarm. I guess my main critique is that there are some apps I can’t uninstall or hide - but that’s no biggie.

    My experience with the Apple Watch 8 has been wonderful. From the faster speeds, better battery and the option to use sleep monitoring. Compared to my previous watch, the watch 8 is better from leaps and bounds.

    I’ve been using the Apple Watch Series 8 for a few years now, and it’s been a game-changer for tracking my workouts and staying consistent with my fitness goals. Whether I’m going for a run, lifting at the gym, or doing a quick HIIT session at home, the watch keeps up with everything and gives me clear, useful data.

    I bought this for my wife, she absolutely loves it! Uses it for workout and sleep tracking, and of course, keeping in touch. We both use the “walkie talkie” feature all the time with my Apple Watch Ultra. Well worth the investment.

    Not just a stylish watch, so much more

    The watch is stylish, but so much more. My wife has asked for it as an early Christmas present and absolutely loves what it does for her from a reminder point of view such as letting her know when to move, how much water to drink, how long to wash her hands. Beyond these niceties it also offers some medical insights such as the % of oxygen in her blood, sleep patterns, EKG data, etc. The greatest testament to this device is that she went from wearing no watch to seeing this unit as indispensable on a daily basis. The 41 mm seize suited her perfectly, not too small and not overwhelming her wrist.

    I’m enjoying my watch! First thing I do when waking is check how many hours I slept because I don’t sleep well. I like it tracks my steps. Really enjoy everything about it. Although I replaced the band with a more flexible one.
