    Pros and Cons after 7 months

    I’ve been using my Apple Watch series 8 for a little over 7 months now and wearing it every day. The features that have most impressed me are: 1. The comfort of the Watch on my wrist. I do take it off while sleeping now but wore it at night for about the first 2 months, just to evaluate sleep tracking. Sleep tracking seemed to be very accurate for me. Also, I really like how easy the sports band is to put on and take off my wrist. 2. I was surprised just how fast this thing charges. I usually will charge it when I see it get down to about 20%. It seems to get back to 95%+ within 30 minutes or so. 3. The number of health tracking elements was impressive. I monitor: heart beat, steps, exercise time, walking distance, cardio fitness, blood oxygen, wrist temperature and walking steadiness. Being 67 years old, these are all important to me. I have also taking several ECGs and it seems to be accurate as well. 4. One of my favorite features is the Watch face I use (California). It has the four corners set up as shortcuts. This makes it so easy to check my steps or start a walk or hike. The only negatives to me are the little more than a day battery life. Since the watch charges so fast, this has not been much of a problem at all. The other problem I have is with the updates. You have to have the watch plugged in for any update to install and it will only do so at night. Since it charges so fast I never keep mine charging overnight. I’m not sure why Apple does not allow you to update in the middle of the day, as long as the Watch is plugged up. Overall I am very happy with how well the Watch has performed and have not had a single hiccup with it’s operation. I just purchased one for my wife to replace her aging Fitbit.

    Great watch. I’ve never been a smart watch guy, but I wanted to start getting back into shape and this has been a great tool to start. Love the tracking apps for fitness and workouts. I have a lot of the notifications off for other things, but it does offer a variety of apps to make your life easier. Battery life is great so far! This is my first Apple Watch and it’s great. While I’m still a fan of real watches, I’ll save those for nicer occasions.

    The Apple Watch Series 8 is super cool! It's got lots of awesome stuff. The design is sleek and the screen is bright and colorful. It can track your heart rate and has a cool ECG thingy. It's also really fast and has lots of space for storing stuff. The only not-so-great thing is the band it comes with, but you can get a better one like the Milanese loop. It looks fancy and feels more comfy. If you're into the Apple Watch, it's totally worth it!

    Amazing as always what Apple brings to their consumers. I’ve owned all generations of the Apple Watch and can say that even though the updates are small, they are still worth the price. Apple continues to keep their unique design and constantly adding new features in the same body with increasing the screen size as well and consistent battery life. I’d highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be part of the Apple Ecosystem.

    Bought this as a replacement for my Series 6 that I broke (completely my fault). The extra screen space is nicer, it's otherwise just got a few more updates to it. Each Apple Watch I've had has been really reliable and easy to use. The integration with your iPhone is seamless. Where it falls short next to other watches is battery life BUT the big trade off you get from other watches is the features.

    I was hesitant to buy this, but after much research I pulled the trigger and I am so happy that I did. It had helped me in so many ways. I love to ask it questions and get answers right away when my hands are full and I can’t get to my phone. I work in a kitchen so I am constantly setting timers by voice command. Also the fitness help that it provides was worth the buy.

    I recently had the opportunity to try out the Apple Watch Series 8, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. As an avid fan of wearable technology, this latest iteration of the Apple Watch has exceeded my expectations in terms of both design and functionality. First and foremost, the Apple Watch Series 8 features a stunning and sleek design. Its rounded display seamlessly blends into the curved edges of the watch, providing a more immersive and visually appealing experience. The larger display size compared to its predecessors allows for better readability and more information to be displayed at once, making it easier to interact with apps and notifications. The build quality of the Apple Watch Series 8 is also top-notch. The combination of high-quality materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, ensures durability and a premium feel. Additionally, the introduction of a scratch-resistant ceramic shield on the display adds an extra layer of protection, giving peace of mind during daily use. What truly sets the Series 8 apart from its predecessors is the enhanced health and fitness features. The watch is equipped with an advanced heart rate monitor, which now has the capability to detect irregular heart rhythms and alert the user if necessary. Overall, I really recommend this watch!

    Great product. Since the update everything has gotten even better. Everything is laid out simply and takes advantage of the screen size. Aside from that the watch is not too heavy. Charging is quick and the battery lasts pretty long as well for a smart watch. All of the health functions work very well including the exercise tracking.

    I had the SE version for a few years before deciding to upgrade to this. Of course the 9 series came out shortly after. But I am happy with this one. Better battery life, a slightly larger screen, a better chip in the watch, and it still fit my old watch bands as well. This is my daily watch.
