Design: The Watch Series 8 is equipped with the new S8 SiP 64-bit dual-core processor, the Apple W3 wireless chip, and 32 GB of storage.

The Small/Medium (S/M) band fits wrists from 5.118" to 7.087" (130 to 180mm) in circumference. The Watch is water resistant down to 50 meters (164 feet), which means it can be used for shallow water activities like pool or lake/ocean swimming. It is not recommended for scuba diving, water skiing, or high-velocity water activities. It is also IP6X certified dust resistant. Case Dimensions: Width 1.378", Height 1.614 (41mm), Depth 0.421". Weight 1.125 ounces.

Display: The Apple Watch Series 8 has a touch display with an area of 904 sq mm and a resolution of 352 x 430 pixels. The tough Ion-X glass protects the display from cracking or breaking. It has an always-on Retina OLED display with up to 1000 nits brightness. In the Settings Menu, you can adjust the brightness, as well as the size of the text.

Rechargeable Battery: The watch has a built-in rechargeable 282 mAh Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. A fully charged battery should give you up to 18 hours of battery life. It comes with a magnetic fast charger with a 39" (1 meter) USB-C cable. The fast charging "puck" magnetically attaches to the back of the watch case for optimum charging. There is no USB-C charging wall adapter included in the box. The watch is compatible with Power Delivery (PD) charging adapters which charge the battery at a faster rate than traditional charging. Using an Apple 20W charging adapter, the watch charges from 0 to 80% in about 45 minutes, and from 0 to 100% in 75 minutes.

Connectivity: The Apple Watch Series 8 is equipped with Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands) for connecting to your home or office network. It also has Bluetooth version 5.3 for staying connected to your iPhone, or pairing with your favorite wireless speaker or headphones. The watch features multiple international geo-location systems for accurately determining your location. It is equipped with GPS (U.S), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (European), QZSS (Japan), and BeiDou (China).

Built-in Apps: The Apple Watch has dozens of built-in applications that can enhance your life. The Apple App Store provides access to tens of thousands of other apps for virtually anything you want your watch to do. Health and Fitness-related apps include: Blood Oxygen, Cycle Tracking, ECG, Heart Rate, Medications, Mindfullness, Sleep, Stopwatch, and Workout. Apps to organize your day include: Alarms, Calendar, Contacts, Find People/Devices/Items, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, News, Phone, Photos, Podcasts, Remnders, Stocks, Voice memos, Wallet/Apple Pay, and Weather.

Siri: Siri, Apple's voice assistant, can be used to perform tasks and answer questions on the Apple Watch. You can use the phrase "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri, then speak your request. Siri must be connected to the internet, either through Wi-Fi or while connected to a nearby iPhone.

Accelerometer: The watch has a high-g accelerometer which monitors your movement while you wear it. It can detect how active you are during your day, prompting you to move when you've been sedentary for a period of time. As you exercise, the accelerometer can measure how hard you're working. It can even determine how often you stand or sit during the day. The watch's Activity Rings monitor your activity and shows your progress toward your daily goals for movement, exercise, or standing. Combined with an internal 3-axis gyroscope, the accelerometer's high-g capacity detects up to 256 Gs of impact, giving the Apple Watch the ability to detect when you are in an automobile accident or when you've taken a hard fall. The Crash Detection and Fall Detection features can be programmed to call emergency services, provide your location, and notify persons listed as your emergency contacts.

Sleep: The Sleep app on the Apple Watch can help you meet your sleep goals for better health. You can create schedules, track your sleep, and view how long you spend in each sleep stage. Sleep Focus can help limit distractions before you go to bed, and while you're in bed, by turning off the watch display and turning on the Do Not Disturb feature. You can be reminded that it's time to go to bed, sound an alarm to wake you, and provide analysis of your night's sleep. While you sleep, the motion sensor can track your breathing rate, and estimate how much time you spend in REM, Core, and Deep Sleep. Your sleep history is available for 14 days.

Body Temperature Sensor: The Series 8 Watch has a new body temperature sensor that monitors your temperature while you sleep. The watch takes approximately 5 nights to determine your baseline wrist temperature, and monitors your temperature nightly for changes. This feature can be valuable for women's health, enabling you to more accurately predict and track your menstrual cycle and estimate the likely day of ovulation. Two temperature sensors -- one on the back crystal near your skin, and one just under the display-- sample your temperature every five seconds. Advanced algorithms calculate the aggregate temperature for each night, showing how it compares to your baseline temperature, and displaying your readings on a graph.

Workout App: The built-in Workout app can help you reach your fitness goals by helping you plan your workouts, track your progress, encourage you as you train, and display your results. Some of the features of the Workout app include:

• Running: The app can provide new running metrics including analyzing your running form (stride length, ground contact time, vertical oscillation). Running Power displays the effort you put into your run, and the amount of power you're expending. The app automatically detects when you're running on a track, and can prompt you to begin a Track Workout, including choosing a lane, counting the laps you run, as well as your distance, time, and pace.
• Race Route: If you frequently run or cycle the same route, you can compete against your last result, or best result.
• Swimming: Swimmers can track your stroke count, length and lap times, and receive a SWOLF score of your workout. The app also detects when you're working out with a kickboard.
• Heart Rate Zones: The Apple Watch can calculate your Heart Rate Zones during your workout to monitor your intensity. The HR Zones are based on your personized health data.
• Multisport Workouts: For triathletes, the Watch uses auto-detection to switch between swimming, biking, and running segments. Details of each segment are automatically recorded, including the transition times between them.

Health: The Apple Watch Series 8 can help you stay healthy by keeping track of your health information. If you have certain health conditions, such as Diabetes or Heart Disease, you can enter your data into the Medical ID section of the Health App on your iPhone to make it available on the Apple Watch. If you share your Medical ID, this information can be sent to emergency services when you call or text 911 or use Emergency SOS. As you wear the watch, it monitors your heart rate, and alerts you when you have an irregular rhythm or high or low heart rate. You can enter information about the medication you are taking, and the watch will remind you when it's time to take your meds. It can even start a timer to make sure you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, as recommended by global health organizations.
