The Apple Watch Series 8 was unveiled at the Far Out event on September 7, 2022. It's no longer the most powerful smartwatch in the family, having been replaced by the king of the hill Apple Watch Ultra. But even if Series 8 has become something of a middle child in the family, it still has excellent battery life and solid features, and it's more than a worthy successor to the Apple Watch Series 7.
Our review of the Watch Series 8 calls it the "best flagship the company has ever created," and when you look at all the stats and tech inside, you can see why. Sure, the Watch Series 9 is expected to debut in September alongside the all-new iPhone 15, but we're expecting the next model will be a fairly modest upgrade. So if you're looking for a new watch now, Series 8 is probably your best bet.
