Apple has launched the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE. Gadgets are decent and do not have any earth-shattering upgrades. The Apple Watch Series 8 will contain readings of your skin temperature, international roaming in cellular models, better battery life, and new motion sensors.

How To Pre-Order?

You can purchase the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 8 starting today. The GPS version for Series 8 will start at $399, and the cellular version will start at $499. The SE GPS versions will start at $249, and the cellular version will start at $299. The shipping will begin September 16, and both models will include 3 months' worth of Apple Fitness+.


The Upgrades

The temp sensors will provide precise body temperature readings up to within 0.1 degree Celsius. You can detect biphasic shifts if you wear the watch during the night. It is an indicator of ovulation and hormone shifts. You can retroactively estimate your ovulation date and effectively plan for your future family.


Women can track their menstrual cycles with the Apple watch, but the ovulation date estimation is a first. While various apps provide this service, many women in the US are skeptical about using them because servers store their data. However, Apple is sensitive and aware of these concerns and says that the encrypted cycle data in the watch is accessible only via touchID, faceID, or passcode. Apple says that nobody can unlock the data except you.
