The Apple Watch Series 8 and SE both come with all the features and options that had previously been available, with major enhancements to those features and options.
Apple Watch Series 8 has upgraded to the temperature, and vital sign features. There is now more advanced ovulation cycle detection through temperature sensors. The menstrual cycle detection feature is 3 years old but is now more advanced with a pair of high sensitivity temperature sensors, behind a bigger watch body overall. The watch uses advanced machine learning to enhance its already accurate timing of menstrual cycles, through the biphasic period. The temperature of the body, at the wrists matches the rest of the body during sleep, when blood vessels allow more blood flow to more areas of the body. The two sensors in the Apple Watch Series 8 collect temperature readings every 5 seconds, recording the fluctuations caused by ovulation.
With women’s health a rapidly growing segment of technology, the menstrual cycle is now seen as a vital sign, to be measured and recorded, to add to the other vital signs. The Series 8 comes in four new colors and three new brushed steel colors, the face designs can be switched and there is a new, brighter light for night reading.
The Apple Watch Series 8 also has an advanced crash detection feature, to go along with the emergency call features, detecting falls or fever. The new Series 8 has a built-in accelerometer that can detect rapid deceleration, with a feature that detects a collision on the side of the vehicle involved in the accident. It uses the most recent data on the frontend, rear, or side collisions and can react in the event of an accident and the wearer is incapacitated and cannot interact with the watch.
The Apple Watch SE, mirrors the two new features of the Apple Watch Series 8, except it does not come in all the color choices the Apple Watch Series 8 comes in. All watches have delivery dates of late September.
