Apple Watch Series 8 VS SE - Don't Be FOOLED!

While a lot of attention has been paid to the big new Apple Watch Ultra, the Apple Watch that most people should probably still buy is the new Apple Watch Series 8 or the new Apple Watch SC, and while you might want to wait a complete review. Before you decide to buy either of these products, I think it's fair to say that we can make a lot of assumptions between both devices, given that they mostly use existing technology, features and designs found in previous Apple Watch devices, in fact the

series

8 and the new one. Apple Watch uses the same processor as my

watch

and my

series

7, so I already have a lot of experience using a

watch

like this and it may not be much different, so I think the first thing I should know about the series 8 and the

apple

watch sc this year is that they both share, of course, the same s8 chip and that means that, for the first time, the lower cost

apple

watch sc and the higher priced series 8 will have exactly the same performance and this is good news for anyone who want to buy the Apple Watch SC, which means it will run exactly the same apps, charge at the same speed and the user interface will be just as smooth and even syncing, the Apple Watch will now be faster thanks to speed improvement in the sc model and as a customer you really don't have to worry as much about which Apple Watch model you should buy based on speed, because across the entire range, all Apple Watches, from the sc to the ultra, have the Exactly the Same performance, all watches also have the same 32 gigabytes of storage to store apps, music, podcasts and audiobooks.

Now there are some differences in durability between the sc and the series 8. Now the series 8 is ip6x dust resistant certified while the sc is not and the back of the watch is made of a nylon or plastic composite, but hey, I don't think that's a big deal for most people, now there are other differences: the 8 series has a slightly larger screen on both models, so the 45 millimeters on the larger model and then the 41 millimeters on the smaller model, while the sc has a 44 and 40 millimeter screen, both screens in quality appear to be identical, although the specifications of both screens seem to reach 1000 nits and both are OLED screens, so both should be excellent for outdoor use;

However, there are two important features you should be aware of, firstly, the Series 8 has an always-on display, while the SC requires raising your wrist to view information. Personally, I like to always have the watch on the screen, having all that information at a glance is very useful and I like to have the watch face always visible because I feel that it also looks better on your wrist to play devil's advocate, although I I have known. There are quite a few people who disable the always-on display because they don't like it or want to save battery and with the new low power mode coming to the sc and 8 series, this gives you 36 hours of battery life but also disables the always-on display, so if you plan to use this feature, always-on display will not be beneficial for you anyway.

Now the large screen size itself may not seem like a big difference considering it's only a millimeter difference in size, but it enables a feature that I find very useful and that is the Apple Watch's native keyboard. This allows you to type messages on the watch's small screen and is a pretty useful feature that gives you more direct control over your watch not only for messages but also for occasionally entering things like passwords, so while it may seem like a small feature, it's an which could change the way you use your Apple Watch and it's a very important consideration to upgrade to the series 8 just for that feature now.

I think the most important question to ask yourself when deciding between these models is whether you want all the extra health features. Now I think the SC comes with Apple's most important health and lifesaving features and that would be the heart rate monitor that can automatically. It detects high and low heart rates and then notifies the user that they may want to seek medical attention and the heart rate monitor is also great for calculating how many calories you have burned throughout the day and while exercising making it a great option. As a fitness tracker, it also comes with fall detection and even comes with the new car accident detection.

Both features can automatically call emergency services in the event of a hard fall or serious car accident, and there are already countless life-saving stories about it. Fall detection feature that saves users' lives Now the Series 8 also comes with these features and more. It includes an ECG reader that can take an EKG reading and notify you if you actually have an irregular heart rhythm, a very useful feature, but hey, if you don't. If you don't have an irregular heartbeat or a family history of irregular heartbeats, it might be something you'll never really take advantage of now, the Series 8 also has a blood oxygen sensor that can give you blood oxygen readings in the background or manually and again potentially. a really great feature if you need it, but in my experience after using this watch for over two years with that feature, it's something I rarely review and the information hasn't been helpful to me personally yet, obviously depending on your circumstances. health.

Needs may vary and this could end up being a useful feature for you, finally this year's Series 8 has a new body temperature sensor. Now this is a bit untested as there hasn't been much time to test this feature, obviously because it's not available. yet, but supposedly the irregular temperature sensor will help women with cycle and ovulation tracking and could be a really great new feature for women, but to me it doesn't seem like there is any benefit that this body temperature sensor provides. You should also keep that in mind when purchasing, if you've never owned an Apple Watch before it can be difficult to determine if you need some of these certain health features, but fortunately I think I can say that most people and I say this.

Actually, fortunately, I think most people will be fine without needing many of those extra health features that the Series 8 brings, as I mentioned before, if you want longer battery life from your Apple Watch and plan to use that new mode low power consumption found on the watch. In OS 9, the watch will disable many of these features to give you an extended 36 hours of battery life, so if you plan to live your life in low power mode for multi-day battery life, these additional features will come in handy. Mostly useless to you, okay? I think it's safe to say that if both watches were the same price, everyone would buy the series.

Eight more features are always better, even if you never plan to use them, but they don't have the same price when you launch the app. At $250, while the Series 8 starts at $400 to $250, the Watch. Features The SC is just a 50 upgrade from a cellular model, which also makes it a great option for parents who want to give their kids an Apple Watch. The Series 8 requires an expensive 100 upgrade for the cellular model, putting these watches now priced at 200 difference instead of the original 150. There are now more options in the Series 8 as well. You can get an additional product color with the red product option and you can also upgrade the finish of your Apple Watch to a sleek stainless steel model starting at $700, which also comes with a Scratch-resistant sapphire display and if you can't stand the thought of your watch's front display getting scratched, then you might want to go for the stainless steel version.

However, I should note that technically the 45 millimeter size of the Series 8 with the 100 band option on the stainless steel model is exactly the same price as the Watch Ultra app, so definitely weigh those options before deciding. which premium model will you choose, but this video is about series 8 and apple. look at sc and hey listen, looking at these two watches, I honestly don't think there is a wrong choice. Listen, if you have a fairly modern Apple Watch, there may not be a reason to upgrade to the series 8. It's a pretty small upgrade, but if you have an older watch or it's your first Apple Watch purchase and you want one of the features that does not have.

Still a great option, on the other hand, I can't help but feel now that the SC now having the same speed as the a series at 250, seems like a great value, especially if you plan to use that new low power mode for 36 hours of runtime of the battery. Fortunately, this year I feel like I can say there is no wrong choice. all the preference budget and determine what features you really want in your Apple Watch either way, no matter which watch you've chosen, I hope you enjoy it and I hope you found this video helpful in deciding which model to choose.
