The latest generation Apple Watch is now official, bringing new health and fitness features alongside new watch faces, better sleep tracking and less intrusive notifications. Only it’s not alone: Samsung has also launched a wearable recently. So the Apple Watch Series 8 best, or does the Galaxy Watch 5 have it beat?
While Apple’s effort naturally is intended to be paired with an iPhone, and Samsung would prefer you pair a Watch 5 with one of its Android handsets, it’s not just a simple case of picking based on which phone you’re currently using. We’ve compared specs and prices, and added a healthy dose of opinion to help you put the right watch on your wrist.
Apple sized up the screen for both Series 7 models, and it uses the same always-on Retina setup for the Series 8. It’s notoriously tight-lipped about official measurements, but a ruler reveals all. Actually rectangular, the 41mm Apple Watch has a display dimension of approximately 1.7in and a resolution of 430×352 pixels. The larger 45mm model features a 1.9in panel with a 484×396 resolution. Both use the same LTPO OLED technology to produce vivid visuals and variable refresh rates, with up to 1000 nits brightness for daylight visibility. Each is protected by crack-resistant crystal, but only the stainless steel variant gets a sturdier sapphire frontage.
Continuing its record as a capable fitness companion, the Apple Watch Series 8 ships with all the sensors we’ve come to expect. So you get blood oxygen, ECG and heart rate monitoring, together with sleep stage analysis, daily activity tracking and an improved Workout app in watchOS 9. New to the mix is a skin temperature sensor, which promises to improve the accuracy of fertility tracking. And in case you come a cropper, Apple has also added crash detection: additional motion sensors inside the Series 8 can accurately recognise a collision, then alert emergency services if you’re unresponsive. Hopefully a feature you won’t need to deploy, but a welcome one all the same.
