Apple Watch Series 8 and Watch SE launched, equipped with crash detection and redesigned cover, price starts from Rs 29900.
New Delhi. Apple has launched Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE along with Apple Watch Ultra. The Apple Watch Series 8 sports a large always-on retina display with a durable front crystal. Features like temperature sensing, ovulation estimate, crash detection and international roaming, ECG app, fall detection have been added to Apple Watch Series 8.
The new Apple Watch SE comes with activity tracking, high and low heart rate notifications, emergency SOS, crash detection and a redesigned cover that matches the 3 original case styles. Both models come with watchOS 9. Features like Lunar and Metropolitan watch faces, updated workout app, sleep phase and medication app have been added to this.
Crash detection works only when driving is taking place. This saves the watch’s battery life of 18 hours. With the help of Apple’s Low Power Mode, the battery life will be boosted up to 36 hours. This feature will also be available on older Series 4 devices running WatchOS 9. When this mode is turned on, the always-on display and automatic workout tracking will be automatically turned-off. However, activity tracking and crash detection will still be active. Cellular roaming will be made available for old watches.
Series 8 aluminum will be available in Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Red colours. Stainless steel will be available in silver, gold, and graphite. The Apple Watch Series 8 is 41mm and 45mm aluminum and stainless steel cases and will come in all bands. New bands and watch faces have been added to Nike and Apple Watch Herms. Nike’s new Sport Loop will have the “Just Do It” logo written on the band.
