Apple Watch review: Series 8 isn't worth an upgrade. The SE is the best value

Publishing timestamp: 2022-09-15 16:02:38


Summary

The second-generation Apple Watch SE is $30 cheaper than the first generation and comes with new features such as the S8 chip, sleep tracking, and crash detection. The updates to the Apple Watch Series 8 are not significant enough to justify an upgrade. The SE is a great value option with new upgrades and a lower price point. The Series 8 offers a few more health tracking features and a bigger screen for a higher price. The new Apple Watch Ultra will be available soon. The two watches that go on sale Friday may not have a significant impact on Apple's Wearables, Home and Accessories business, but the pricey Ultra could help increase sales in the next fiscal year. The SE is recommended for basic functions, while the Series 8 may provide added peace of mind for health tracking.
