It's not the latest Apple Watch, but it's well worth the investment. The Apple Watch 8 offers intelligent health and fitness tracking, a skin temperature sensor, crash detection and a better workout interface. Enjoy longer battery life in low power mode and advanced sleep and cycle tracking. Save $100 right now during Black Friday.
Although the Apple Watch Series 9 is the latest release, the two watches are pretty similar, so it's a great time to save on the older watch during early Black Friday sales.
The Series 8 doesn't have the S9 processor or the double-tap gesture, so what are you getting for your money? It's easy to recommend the smartwatch as there are a wealth of advanced features to enjoy. Looks-wise, the Apple Watch Series 8 appears pretty much the same as the Series 9 and both watches can run watchOS 10, which has several brilliant features for cycling and running enthusiasts.
There are plenty of other talking points, including up to 18 hours of battery life, fitness and sleep tracking and always-on display. If you're on the go, Apple Watch low power mode switches off features and extends battery life to around 36 hours depending on how you use your watch.
You can also benefit from a temperature sensor which provides deeper insights into women's health, as well as blood oxygen monitoring, ECG app readings and notifications for an irregular heart rhythm. Sleep staging also feeds back on how much time you spend in various cycles of sleep. Then there's Crash Detection, emergency SOS and improved durability to sweeten the deal.
