WIRED It’s an Apple Watch. Crash detection offers peace of mind. Temperature sensing is accurate. WatchOS 9 updates are wonderful. TIRED Still spendy. You can probably find a Series 7 on sale with nearly the same features.
Speaking of temperature sensing, every year Apple introduces a new health feature with much fanfare, more or less ignoring that other wearables have had a similar feature for years. The company usually tweaks it in some way to make it just slightly better. Rather than just one sensor, the Series 8 has two. One sits next to the skin and one is just under the display, to counteract the confounding effects of ambient temperature.
It’s important to note that you can’t, for example, check your Series 8 and see that your temperature is over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s not acting like a traditional thermometer, and that’s because your skin surface temperature is slightly lower than your body temperature. For example, an ear thermometer showed my temperature to be over 100 degrees, while the Series 8 said my skin temperature was 98.3.
