Apple’s “Far Out” presentation on Wednesday debuted a sleek new lineup of wearables that includes the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra and a new 2022 Apple Watch SE. While the Ultra is the most expensive option with a variety of bells and whistles, you may find that Series 8 is better for your needs. Now a midtier offering with the introduction of the $799 Ultra, the $399 Series 8 comes with a string of features not available on SE or the Series 7 that arrived in 2021.
All Apple Series watches are a step above the SE versions, but if you’re new to the brand’s smartwatches or are tempted to upgrade, you’re probably wondering how Series 7 and Series 8 compare. Both have health tracking functions and activity logs, but here’s how they stack up in price, features and aesthetics.
While both models have fall detection, emergency SOS, blood oxygen sensors and gyroscope, the Series 8 offers a set of tracking upgrades that assist with wellness and safety.
