    I’ve loved my Apple Watches since the beginning. I found this red stunning. I used a dark blue band and it looks like Spider-Man Way cool. Love the bigger screen and color. Very nice.

    Good overall product by apple. Though i think the belt can be improved. With swear it gets kind of itchy. I’.ll probably change the belt to something which is more airy.

    Great Upgrade from Series 2!

    In the box: • 45mm Apple Watch Series 8 • 45mm sport band • USB C charging cable After 6 years with my Series 2 Apple watch, my 42mm Milanese mesh band developed a snag and it was next to impossible to fine another that size. I opted to upgrade to the 45mm Series 8 watch instead. What a difference! The 45mm doesn’t feel that much bigger than the 42mm on my wrist, but the 58% larger display (396×484 vs 312×390 pixels) is very noticeable. I was startled the first time someone texted a photo to me. The image was amazingly clear on the watch display. I was always annoyed with the Series 2 when the display would not come on unless I moved my wrist in a particular way. This problem was solved going to the Series 8. The new display is a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED which dynamically adapts the refresh rate. This allows the watch to reduce the refresh rate and use far less battery power for static images (like the watch face without seconds displayed) and enables the use of the “always on” feature. Thank you, Apple! I used to charge my Series 2 overnight. With the Series 8, however, I am now charging during waking hours in order to wear it while I sleep and track my sleep patterns. It keeps track of time spent in deep, core, and REM sleep stages and detects intervening episodes of awakening. Charging time is remarkably short with the 20W Apple USB C charger (not included). My battery typically drops to 50% over the course of the day and fully charges in less than 1 hour. Other notable new features in Series 8 (compared to Series 2): • Electrical heart sensor • Blood oxygen sensor • Temperature sensor • High-G accelerometer • HDR gyroscope • Altimeter • Compass Compatibility: In order to connect your iPhone and Series 8 Apple watch, you will need an iPhone 8 (or newer) running iOS 16.

    This watch is a great choice to keep track of heart rate, ekg, and counting steps. It’s also a nice compass too. With a choice of many faces it’s my number one choice for a smart watch.

    Best Apple watch I've tried and I've held off on using one, mainly because of the battery and length of charge. The Series 8 is good looking, works well and the metrics seem to be very accurate. I like how sturdy it is and also like how quickly it charges. With that said, the 4-star rating is simply because I'm seeing my battery run down faster after only two months of use. Recommend buying Apple Care.....

    I’ve had an Apple Watch since 2015 (year check). I figured it was time for an upgrade, perfect model and options and fetched it in a good price tag. Thanks Best Buy for the great price!

    Why nicer than the Gen 3! The watch I had before was way out dated and small (38mm). I go to the gym and needed it to track my activity, I grateful I bought it!

    Recently purchased this watch in December. I have been very pleased with the functionality of it and the battery last longer than I was expecting, especially in a very cold Arctic environment.
