The new Apple Watch 8 has additional sensors, but there aren’t many more differences in terms of specifications.
On its website, Apple lists the CPU as a Dual-core S8 Update; nevertheless, the S8 is not regarded to be a significant advance over the S7 semiconductor utilized in the Apple Watch 7.
This conclusion is based on the fact that, while Apple promises a 20% quicker performance over the earlier Apple Watch SE, no similar claim is made in contrast to the Watch 7.
The Apple Watch Series 8 will include a low-power mode to help extend battery life. However, this is not a feature exclusive to the Apple Watch 8; it will be available on Apple Watch 4 and later as long as they are running WatchOS 9.
How much will the 8th gen Apple Watch cost?
The Apple Watch Series 8 will be available for $399/£419 for GPS models and $499/£529 for cellular models. Prices will vary according to the case type (aluminium or stainless steel), straps used, and whether the 41mm or 45mm model is selected.
The 45m option costs an additional $30/$30.
