De reviews van de Apple Watch Series 8 en Apple Watch SE
Op het recente event werden niet alleen alle nieuwe iPhones onthuld, ook nieuwe AirPods en nieuwe Apple Watches waren van de partij. Zowel de Apple Watch Series 8 als de Apple Watch SE zijn vanaf vandaag bij Apple te koop, en dus worden nu ook de reviews daarvan gepubliceerd.

Hieronder vind je een aantal van die reviews. Het verbindende thema daarin is dat de hardware upgrades in de Apple Watch Series 8 niet wereldschokkend zijn, maar dat het toch de moeite van de upgrade waard is, zeker als je nu nog een model gebruikt met een kleiner scherm. Is de grootte van het scherm niet belangrijk maar is het wel tijd voor een upgrade, of stap je nu in bij de Apple Watch, dan is de goedkopere Apple Watch SE mogelijk de beste keuze.

Listen, the Series 8 doesn’t revolutionize the Apple Watch as we know it, but it doesn’t have to. Part of the reason why Apple can get away with year after year of incremental updates is because it is light-years ahead of its rivals for iOS users. We’re seeing more competition sprout up among Android smartwatches, but if the forthcoming Pixel Watch and Wear OS Samsung watches are any indication, wearable ecosystems will remain siloed for the foreseeable future. When it comes to smartwatches, Apple has a winning formula. And until someone comes up with another smartwatch that iPhone owners actually want, it has no reason to fix what isn’t broken.

I’ll most likely keep using the Series 8 as my primary smartwatch (after trading it in for a smaller model), but not because I really need the skin temperature sensing or crash detection; my job requires me to stay up to speed on the latest devices and features. But if I were making the decision for myself (and not my career), I’d most likely buy the Watch SE. Still, the Series 8 is well-rounded and full-featured, and arguably the best smartwatch around. That is, until we get our hands on the upcoming Watch Ultra.

I think the Series 8 is the sweet spot for upgrades for owners of the Apple Watch Series 4 or Series 5, or just anyone who wants a full-featured Watch experience. It will also be a great choice for those who have health conditions the Apple Watch Series 8 can help monitor, like aFib. Do I wish a bit more was different? I guess, but for what most people with an iPhone could need out of a smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 8 has it all. Despite the growing competition, the Apple Watch still sets the standard for wearable technology.

Check back here in a month or two, and we'll answer this more clearly. For now, the Apple Watch Series 8 remains an excellent piece of watch hardware with improved software and a health sensor that could be a factor down the road. But first, check your wrist: You may already have an Apple Watch that's good enough.
