Apple Watch 8 vs 7

[AppleUser29912]

How come Apple doesnt allow you to select product for comparison?

Apple Watch Compare

Compare specs for the latest Apple Watch models: Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch Series 11, and Apple Watch SE 3.

I want to compare 7 to 8 but there is no option to change these comparisons to see side by seide

I am a first time Apple watch user and I dont know if I should buy the 8th or 7th

Dust resistant and temperature sensor. Wanted to upgrade from a S3 but this is disappointing.

Why does your link show the price at $1,099?

 

[Futurix]

I wonder if international roaming is Series 8 only - or will trickle down to Series 7 (like international emergency calling).

Would you benefit from ovulation assistance and crash detection?

That's the CAD$ rate.

I think that’s literally it, right? I can’t think of a single other thing. Man oh man have the AW yearly updates gotten slim.

Series 7 was an unexpectedly big upgrade given the size of the watch. Series 8 is a very small upgrade from Series 7, maybe one of the most incremental. Still a good buy for those on older models. I’m very happy with my green AW7, not a very common model in the world of apple watches

Plus;

New Low Power Mode can give you up to 36 hours of battery life, and it also has international coverage.

Low power mode is coming to all AW S4 upwards

I was waiting for the S8 so I could upgrade from my S7. However given that the S8 over the S7 is a temp sensor mainly for ovulation (& I'm a bloke.!) and crash detection then I'm currently eyeing up a S7 refurbished from the Apple store for about £80 less than the new S8.

I’m a guy and I don’t drive. To make matters worse, in my European country, the price of the S8 went up over the S7. I think I’ll just look for a sale on the S7. Keeping my S3 for another year isn’t going to be great. I got it at release and the battery is starting to act up.

Find a S7 on sale...not much in new features for S8.

 

[me2000]

Has anyone found a good deal on S7? I don't think the major retailers have taken anything extra off to account for the S8 now being available..

isn’t the new SE a better deal than a s7?

not unless you want AOD and blood oxygen and on-screen keyboard

I also prefer SS.

I’ve got an S5 so a jump to the S8 will be fairly big but if I was on S7 it would be a touch call. Unless they start to add new features that are S8 only from the sensors. Wonder if devs can access them and make use of them in apps.

its a lot of cash difference for just them. If I wasn’t getting a new phone too i might just pay it but it seems a bad deal,,

I was all on board w/ 8 because of the temp sensor, but it's only used for tracking menstrual cycles... (which is great for women, but I don't benefit ).

Doesn’t look worthwhile to upgrade from an s5.

I fancy a change so moving from Aluminium to SS Graphite, will use the S5 as a reserve. The battery isn’t lasting a day now for me so need to do something anyway.

If you own a Series 7, then Series 8 is a complete joke. Same watch.

I have never been as let down on a watch upgrade as this year. Apple was clearly aiming to sell the ULTRA.

I see your attachment but is that really all the differences?

Geez, glad I got an S7 for cheap 6 months ago and in blue, which is sadly now no longer a thing.
