Like the Series 7, the Series 8 supports faster charging and has more crack-resistant glass. The Series 8 also has the most complete suite of health tools compared with every other Apple Watch but the Ultra, including blood-oxygen monitoring and ECG as well as new temperature sensors for advanced menstrual cycle tracking. The always-on screen means you don’t have to lift your arm to check the time or the status of your apps. Like the Series 7, the Series 8 comes in two case sizes-41 mm and 45 mm-with more viewable area thanks to slightly larger casings and narrower borders. It does the things most people want just as well as, or better than, any other Apple Watch, including tracking workouts, sending text messages, and getting app notifications.

Of all the smartwatches we’ve tested-for both iPhone and Android-the Apple Watch Series 8 represents the best overall combination of features and price. Our upgrade pick, the Apple Watch Ultra, is designed for athletes but is also great for anyone who wants a gigantic screen and lengthy battery life. If you don’t need the Series 8’s health-tracking functions, which include temperature sensors for more granular data about menstrual cycles, the second-gen Apple Watch SE is our budget pick. Offering advanced health and fitness features, car-crash detection, and all the notifications and third-party apps that people have come to expect from smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 8 has the best combination of features and price for most people. This year, Apple has three new models: the Apple Watch Series 8 (which replaces last year’s Series 7), a second-generation Apple Watch SE, and the expensive, rugged, and huge Apple Watch Ultra. But with all of Apple’s newly introduced watches, deciding which Apple Watch to choose is harder than ever. If you have an iPhone and you want a smartwatch, buying an Apple Watch is a no-brainer, and for most people, the Apple Watch Series 8 is the best option available.
