Temperature Sensing
One of the notable additions to Apple Watch Series 8 is temperature sensing.

The electrical heart sensor supports Apple’s ECG app in eligible regions, while heart-rate monitoring enables features such as high and low heart rate notifications and irregular rhythm notifications.
Availability of ECG, Blood Oxygen, and other health features can vary by country, region, software version, and regulatory requirements.
Fitness & Activity Tracking
Series 8 provides comprehensive workout and everyday activity tracking.
Depending on the workout, the watch can track metrics including heart rate, calories burned, distance, pace, workout duration, elevation, and GPS route information.
Apple’s Activity system tracks daily Move, Exercise, and Stand progress, making it useful for both everyday activity and structured workouts.
Crash Detection, Fall Detection & Emergency SOS
Apple Watch Series 8 includes several important safety features.
Crash Detection is designed to detect certain severe car crashes using information from multiple sensors and algorithms. When appropriate, the watch can help contact emergency services.
Fall Detection can identify certain hard falls and provide options to call for assistance.
Series 8 also supports Emergency SOS, providing quick access to emergency services when required.
GPS, Compass & Altimeter
Built-in GPS/GNSS allows Apple Watch Series 8 to track outdoor routes and location information during compatible workouts.
It also includes a built-in compass for directional information and an always-on altimeter for elevation tracking.
These features are useful for running, walking, cycling, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
GPS & GPS + Cellular Models
Apple Watch Series 8 is available in both GPS and GPS + Cellular versions.
The GPS model uses Wi-Fi and a paired iPhone for supported connected functionality.
With a compatible carrier and active plan, the GPS + Cellular version can provide supported calls, messages, streaming, and other online functions when the paired iPhone isn’t nearby.
Water & Dust Resistance
Apple Watch Series 8 has 50-metre water resistance under ISO standard 22810:2010 and an IP6X dust-resistance rating.
