incredible product, has not disappointed.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Series 8 is the most minor update to the Apple Watch in a few years. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since its predecessor was the best smartwatch available for the iPhone and that’s still true for the new model. Crash detection is a nice feature to have that you hope you’ll never use.

Pros: excellent haptic vibrations, always-on screen, ECG, temp sensor, top health tracking, great activity tracking, 50-metre water resistance, solid battery, car crash detection, long software support, recycled materials.

Cons: expensive, only works with an iPhone, blood oxygen data not that useful, no third-party watch faces, a minor upgrade.

The Series 8 doesn't feel like the new hotness this year, admittedly. The Apple Watch Ultra stole a lot of its thunder and, considering how similar it is to last year's Series 7, a lot of people won't feel the need to upgrade this year.

Beautiful display, New health-tracking and safety features, Supports new low-power mode

Extremely similar to the Series 7, Not as flashy or high-end as the Ultra

Josh Hendrickson/Review Geek What do you get when you take one of the best smartwatches in the land and add a few tiny improvements to it? Well, one of the best smartwatches in the land… only slightly better. That’s the Apple Watch Series 8 in a nutshell.

Still the same great watch, Crash detection could save lives, No price increase

Still basically the same watch, Fewer finish choices, Battery life could use improvements

Let’s pretend, for a minute, that you’re Apple. You didn’t create the smartwatch market, but you currently control more than one-third of it. You’re caught up in a yearly refresh cycle (of your own design). It’s not easy, but you’re used to it.

Apple’s watchOS 9 operating system for the Apple Watch introduces a new “sleep stages” tracking system as part of the sleep tracking feature that Apple originally introduced in watchOS 7. Being in bed with your smartwatch is another opportunity for you to keep your smartwatch on.

The Apple Watch Series 8 expands Apple’s reach into the sports and fitness area more than any other watch before it (save the also-announced Apple Watch Ultra, which…was technically announced about 6 minutes after the Series 8).

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
