I love the Series 8 and will be upgrading from the 1st SE. I have no clue why so many were dissing this version. It’s not for those coming from the 7 it’s for those like me.
I have the first SE, and will probably hold off on the 8. I like the watch, but it’s core features are what I use. I had the series 2 for almost 3.5 years.
Really appreciate how deep into the ecosystem you go Justine. Very tired of watching reviews that talk about what hasn’t changed, but you’d never catch that reviewer walking us through things like fitness plus, showing features in a more real life scenario rather than a testing office somewhere in NYC. I think you and “sxephil” were my first two subscribes ever on youtube back in the day. Haven’t watched Phil in a while, but still getting a lot of my tech info from you. Thanks for all the amazing content over the years. Been on the android side of the fence for the last two years, coming back to the iPhone this year and really looking forward to your Apple Watch ultra review, a lot has changed since i bought my series three way way back.
Sometimes I watch these videos not for the technology context but to spend some time with Justine. She has always made me feel like she is a friend to all of us. Always humble and down to earth.
This was a great review- loved that you went more into the fitness aspect, not many reviewers do that aside from just sitting there and talking haha. Also loved the women's health perspective since that isn't super common in the tech youtube realm either- super helpful!!
Thanks for another great video, glad you are ok and now even more conscious of your fitness. Hey- I HAVE A TIP (that I was kind of surprised you didn't mention) - when using the Apple Watch to find your phone- if you hold that button down (instead of just tapping it) your phone makes the same sound AND the camera light starts to blink as well! Super cool/helpful when looking for your phone in the dark (like the timeI it fell under my seat in the movie theater. I was SO happy not to have to be feeling around the gross floor with my hands for where my phone was, lol). Anyway- hope that's a helpful reminder for others!
I checked out the sleep function and I was impressed. I'm an RN and I don't sleep the best, so it was definitely interesting to see the quality of my sleep cycles.
iJustine is the only reviewer I pay attention to because she’s the only one who likes using new Apple products/cool tech as much as I do. Everyone else is so cynical but sometimes I’m just trying to get hype for the new kit. She was the first video I watched on TH-cam on my launch day iPhone in 2007 because I was searching for “iPhone” content 😂
Well the point of a review is to be unbiased, not to hype you up. If it was meant to hype you up, that’d be called an ad lmao. Of course they’re gonna talk about the downsides in a real review.

I upgraded from the 40mm Apple Watch SE to series 8 45 mm and it was a huge and good change for me. It took a little longer to get used to the larger face but I absolutely love it along with all the new features that the previous watch did not have.
@@QueenLaporscha awesome going to watch it now. I can’t decide which one to get I haven’t checked them out in person yet. My job is gifting me one of my choice
I upgraded from the 40mm apple watch se 2 series 845 mm and it was the huge and good change for me. It took a little longer to get used to the larger face but i absolutely loved it along with all the new features that the previous watch did not have
One feature you touched but missed: When finding your phone, if you press and Hold the find button, it also strobes the flash on your phone. Very helpful at night and under furniture.
Love how everyone wants 10,000 new features every year. Watches told the time for 1000 years, now we can dictate texts, do navigation, check out oxygen level, track cycles, have emergency services notified automatically if we are unconscious in a car crash and people say, “meh”. Sorry folks, not everyone has had one yet and apple never expected anyone to upgrade every year. Plus people upgrading from their series 0, 1 or 2 or 3 will have a lot to enjoy on the new Series 8.
I love how you give all the information for each product. I almost feel like I don’t need to research just watch iJ haha. As always keep up the good work and videos!
I really appreciate the details of review as I feel it caters more to the every day people that are not ‘ technology forward.’ I recently started a job in cellular sales and have been out of the loop of technology. And I feel this is great information into providing customers with REAL NEEDS and benefits. As a consumer I’ll be 35 by the end of this week and this past year being hospitalized for high blood pressure, i like this feature of reminders of medication and all the little things that add up to making our busy lives run more efficiently. Most videos I’ve watched to become informed, are like a page i can google of phone specs. This was refreshing and informative. Keep making great videos like this! It helps A lot!
I have the Apple Watch 2 series, so it’s quite old. I’ve been saving up for an Apple Watch, and I’m excited for the series 8! I have a lot of reproductive health issues and if I’m honest I’m really excited for the temperature/cycle sensing features.
Awesome review Justine. I have the Apple Watch series 7 titanium, giving this to my Aunt. I will be getting the new Apple Watch Ultra. I am only getting it for the bigger screen, as I am 50 now and need to use readers a lot. Also, HOKA shoes are awesome!! Thank you for all of your awesome videos! Have a great day!
I didn’t know you had a DVT. I had one in 2016. The pain in my leg was unbearable. It then went to my lung and I spent a month in the hospital. I always thought it was something that happens to older people but I was only 32 at the time and I’ve always been very active.
I’m upgrading to the series 8 from the series 5 44mm. Decided to go with the 41mm for the series 8. Big screens are nice but after a while, I got tired of the bulkiness of the 44mm on my small wrist. The bands on either end of the face never sit flush against my wrist. It’d be worse with the new series 8 45mm. Just something to consider if you have small wrists :)
And you gave ur last watch to your 13 yr old son. I gotta stop watching these videos and reading every comment 😅 this is like my millionth video and I still can't decide
I love that you have an Oura Ring and an Apple Watch. I have had the Oura Ring for over a year now and love it. I always told myself I didn’t need an Apple Watch because I mapped so much with my Oura ring. I just bought my first Apple Watch today! Series 8 45mm Starlight! Snap! 🙌🏼 Can you do a comparison video? Oura Gen3 Vs Series 8?
I just got the Apple Watch 8 and I know I’m late to the game, but I sold my SE loved that one but I got the 8 and I am loving the features for health reasons, going back to this review to see what I’m getting so excited❤❤ about
Thank you so much I have made the decision I’m getting the series 8 because of you I also had A blood clot last year it was also a deep conversations and it also changed my life forever I have a I watch series 3 so upgrading to series 8 is a huge advantage for me 😃
I watched this after I upgrade to the Series 8 from the Series 3 and it’s such a huge difference! I also got the solo loop band which is so comfortable!
@@ozordiprince9405 not really though. They produce contents that us everyday people can understand. They always touch on something that people care. And tbh they’re the top tech reviewers and their studios are massive and sophisticated, so their video designing and editing are top notched too.
Thanks for the review I’m thinking of getting the series 8 because that poison bear for me. I like bigger screens and I’m getting back into working out so thanks Justine
You are a year younger than me, and Ive had a few health scares myself. I know this sounds weird but your videos have motivated me to get an Apple Watch, and start MOVING again! BTW.. I hope you are doing better!
I have the Nike series 3 and it saved me too with my heart! back in July 2022, the Afib popped up saying I had an Afib at night while sleeping so I told my dr and now I'm doing tests to see why and now my watch is telling me I have an irregular heartbeat so my heart beats lower than 60 bpm throughout the day. Love the Apple Watch!!!
I actually have a Peloton bike (not plus) and I can still connect my Apple Watch (series 7) to it and see my heart rate on screen. It also integrates with the fitness app on my iPhone and I can see with Peloton workouts I've done (like Indoor Cycling, just generic though not the specific class taken.)
Best review I’ve seen yet especially with the medication tracking. I’ve only had the first Apple Watch that I stopped wearing years ago so I’m getting an aluminum silver 8. It’s more of an accessory/ reason to not touch my phone as much.
Good comprehensive review of the new Apple watch. Love how Justine gets in the weeds and gives us all the information we need before making a decision.
I have a series 4 with a quickly declining battery. I'm a huge apple fan but the cool features of the series 5/6/7/8 just haven't been enough to justify the upgrade price without a redesign. I think I'll either pay for a battery replacement or go for the Ultra (I ski at an advanced level, go backpacking, hike all the time, do plenty of other outdoor sports, and could use the extra long battery life for long hospital shifts). Just gotta decide if I want to pay $800 for that...
Fantastic review Justine. Thank you. Sorry to hear of your health scare. I’ve been there myself 3 times and I’m permanently on medication. I’ve never owned a Apple Watch but have wanted one for years so I’ve gone and ordered the Apple Watch ultra. Can’t wait for it to arrive but won’t be until November in New Zealand. Good to see it will remind me to take the meds. Thanks again and take care. 😀
The Ultra looks a good choice for some, but for me would look hideous on my thin woman sized wrists. I find the standard model looks overall just a smarter looking watch that I can wear everyday and with more smarter clothes especially with the stainless steel model. I find the stainless steel model is a really versatile model, as you can really change the look of the watch for whatever type of clothes you are wearing. For example, when I wear more casual clothes I wear with the braided solo loop of my black sports band, whereas when I dress more smarter I put on my leather strap or the stainless steel bracelet strap. The Ultra looks like something I couldn't wear everyday, and more like something to wear before you do some extreme sports/diving. That's why I've went with the S8 45mm stainless steel.
Quick tip for my fellow menstruators: if you use Apple's tracker and plan on using the temp sensor feature to enhance tracking, consider waiting until AFTER the holidays before you buy this watch or enable the feature. My tracking was pretty accurate before, but last month the estimation was a week later than reality. It feels like it's been 'reset' by the watch and needs more time in order to become accurate again. Right now it's estimating for me to start on Thanksgiving AND Christmas and I have no idea if that's true or not. This is anecdotal of course, but seriously, if what you're doing right now works, consider leaving it alone till after the holidays. Edit 1 month later: after the first inaccurate cycle, it seems on track again. Not enough time to say it’s more accurate than before, but it’s already back to the same accuracy as before. What a relief! I had a cold and fever a couple weeks ago and wondered how it might affect the conclusions of the algorithm, but it seemed to handle that just fine without getting thrown off. The temperature spike is visible on the graph. It would be nice if they could use this capability in a future update to maybe alert for the presence of fever after learning an individual’s baseline temp.
@@davidbrewer6213 yeah that’s pretty common among women though my stepmom is getting past that age now so I told her the SE might be just fine. She’s not big into the tracking features.
Coming from a S4 you will probably notice a sizeable difference, I’d go for it specially if you can get your hands on one first to try it out, any tech store for example.
Apple Watch also saved my life back in 2020. My heart rate went up to 205bpm and the Apple Watch notified me and I rushed to the hospital. I have a rare disorder called Brugada and have a pacemaker now
Why doesn't apple reduce the box size of the Apple watch?? It's huge considering a watch. They can pack it in a square-type box or similar. Genuinely asking.
What do you guys think of upgrading to Series 8 from Series 7? Like I was thinking of getting an Oura ring for the temperature measure capability but now that Apple came up with it I might just get the new watch. I like keeping track of my cycle and days. Or am I being too irresponsible with my money? lol
Hmmm tbh I trust Apple more than Oura with this, they just have more data to train their algorithms to be accurate. But maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt because I have a grudge against Oura for keeping the data behind a paywall, I find this just insulting and to be a really shitty business model :) Neither Oura not Apple actually measure basal temperature of your body, only skin-level temperature, so they need to do a lot of mathematical shenanigans to actually make a prediction. If you want super high accuracy, maybe look into NatualCycles+regular thermometer, otherwise honestly, I would opt for Apple.
Not me having a panic attack thinking I have a blood clot trying to calm down by watching an Apple Watch 8 review and seeing this in the start of this video
I own a Series 4 and will upgrade soon. If owners wear the watch while sleeping, when do they charge it?? Doesn't sound too convenient to have to wait for it to charge during the day.
Just started following you, love the woman’s perspective; and, this video is so extensively reviewed, unlike any other review I’ve seen so far. Still deciding between 8 & Ultra (unsure if the 49mm is too big.) THANK YOU and will you be reviewing the Ultra?
I will be! I tested it out at the apple event and it was very light but is very big if you have small wrists. the trail watch band was my favorite as it's very light and lets you have a snug fit.
This is my first time I watch one of your videos, I’ve enjoyed it a lot!. I have an AppleWatch series 6 and I was wondering if I would need to upgrade. I always use the smaller one because of my thin wrist, but after seeing your video I think that I will look for the 45mm as well 😅. Thanks for this review!
I've been a long time user of the Garmin watch line. So I am excited to give an Apple watch a chance this fall! Thanks for the review it really helped me :)
Thanks for this fantastic review! I can't wait to get my Ultra. One thing I still haven't managed though is hooking up my watch to the iPad to have a bigger screen when doing my Fitness+ workouts. T_T
I watched this video today and am so glad you made it through the PE. I had one myself back in October and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. This video alone has convinced me to buy an apple watch.
Hi Justine! I have the series 6 41mm and will be upgrading to the 8 45mm in midnight. I love your video’s and glad you are feeling better! BTW you’re beautiful!! ❤️
An absolutely great video! Very in depth and informational! I love my Apple Watch but feel like I'm not using it to it's full potential! I'm gonna have to start using some of these Fitness classes! Great video!
Can you use the Temp sensor for something else? Everyone is just talking about cycle tracking. I want to know if the Apple watch can tell my body temp!
Just wanted to say the production quality of your videos has been stunning lately. Particularly impressed with the graphics and overlays. They’re gorgeous. Excellent job Jus!
I love the Series 8 and will be upgrading from the 1st SE. I have no clue why so many were dissing this version. It’s not for those coming from the 7 it’s for those like me.
Upgrading from Apple Watch 3 and totally agree. Might even go ultra
Still, it’s a bad and boring upgrade.
I’m telling you coming from a series 3
because you can buy the 7 with almost the same features at a lower price
I agree. I got the Series 7 Starlight and I will be waiting but totally see this as a great upgrade from the Series 3.
I have the first SE, and will probably hold off on the 8. I like the watch, but it’s core features are what I use. I had the series 2 for almost 3.5 years.

Quick tip for my fellow menstruators: if you use Apple's tracker and plan on using the temp sensor feature to enhance tracking, consider waiting until AFTER the holidays before you buy this watch or enable the feature. My tracking was pretty accurate before, but last month the estimation was a week later than reality. It feels like it's been 'reset' by the watch and needs more time in order to become accurate again. Right now it's estimating for me to start on Thanksgiving AND Christmas and I have no idea if that's true or not. This is anecdotal of course, but seriously, if what you're doing right now works, consider leaving it alone till after the holidays.
Edit 1 month later: after the first inaccurate cycle, it seems on track again. Not enough time to say it’s more accurate than before, but it’s already back to the same accuracy as before. What a relief! I had a cold and fever a couple weeks ago and wondered how it might affect the conclusions of the algorithm, but it seemed to handle that just fine without getting thrown off. The temperature spike is visible on the graph. It would be nice if they could use this capability in a future update to maybe alert for the presence of fever after learning an individual’s baseline temp.
(Fellow) women .
@@davidbrewer6213 yeah that’s pretty common among women though my stepmom is getting past that age now so I told her the SE might be just fine. She’s not big into the tracking features.
Action mode is worse than normal when you're filming yourself because it tries to keep the background steady while your face is going up and down.
Really trying to decide if I upgrade from Series 4 to 8… I’m very tempted
Coming from a S4 you will probably notice a sizeable difference, I’d go for it specially if you can get your hands on one first to try it out, any tech store for example.
I upgraded from a S4 to S8. Can’t wait !
Apple Watch also saved my life back in 2020. My heart rate went up to 205bpm and the Apple Watch notified me and I rushed to the hospital. I have a rare disorder called Brugada and have a pacemaker now
Why doesn't apple reduce the box size of the Apple watch?? It's huge considering a watch.
They can pack it in a square-type box or similar.
Genuinely asking.
Why are you always so excited about everything
Every day you are coming and saying I am very excited
I am very excited
What do you guys think of upgrading to Series 8 from Series 7? Like I was thinking of getting an Oura ring for the temperature measure capability but now that Apple came up with it I might just get the new watch. I like keeping track of my cycle and days. Or am I being too irresponsible with my money? lol
Hmmm tbh I trust Apple more than Oura with this, they just have more data to train their algorithms to be accurate. But maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt because I have a grudge against Oura for keeping the data behind a paywall, I find this just insulting and to be a really shitty business model :) Neither Oura not Apple actually measure basal temperature of your body, only skin-level temperature, so they need to do a lot of mathematical shenanigans to actually make a prediction.
If you want super high accuracy, maybe look into NatualCycles+regular thermometer, otherwise honestly, I would opt for Apple.
definitely should get the apple watch ultra its rugged and capable of anything
Temperature sensing is a great feature for women and their period tracking. Great content.
Not me having a panic attack thinking I have a blood clot trying to calm down by watching an Apple Watch 8 review and seeing this in the start of this video
Oh no 😮
I glad you are ok
Thank you Justine for all of your awesome videos!
I own a Series 4 and will upgrade soon. If owners wear the watch while sleeping, when do they charge it?? Doesn't sound too convenient to have to wait for it to charge during the day.
Just started following you, love the woman’s perspective; and, this video is so extensively reviewed, unlike any other review I’ve seen so far. Still deciding between 8 & Ultra (unsure if the 49mm is too big.) THANK YOU and will you be reviewing the Ultra?
I will be! I tested it out at the apple event and it was very light but is very big if you have small wrists. the trail watch band was my favorite as it's very light and lets you have a snug fit.
@@iJustine Looking forward to the review!TY!
Help! I need that peloton phone holder!! I don’t see the link!
This is my first time I watch one of your videos, I’ve enjoyed it a lot!. I have an AppleWatch series 6 and I was wondering if I would need to upgrade. I always use the smaller one because of my thin wrist, but after seeing your video I think that I will look for the 45mm as well 😅. Thanks for this review!
Hi Justine! What is the bike adapter? I do not see the link in the description.
This is the only Apple Watch Series 8 review I'll watch.
I've been a long time user of the Garmin watch line. So I am excited to give an Apple watch a chance this fall! Thanks for the review it really helped me :)
Thanks for this fantastic review! I can't wait to get my Ultra. One thing I still haven't managed though is hooking up my watch to the iPad to have a bigger screen when doing my Fitness+ workouts. T_T
Link to the bike adapter is not in description??
Everyone would be waiting to see the watch ultra 🔥
Next Friday 🙌🙌
I watched this video today and am so glad you made it through the PE. I had one myself back in October and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. This video alone has convinced me to buy an apple watch.
Hi Justine! I have the series 6 41mm and will be upgrading to the 8 45mm in midnight. I love your video’s and glad you are feeling better! BTW you’re beautiful!! ❤️
Have you gotten it yet? I can’t tell if the midnight color is dark blue or almost black and I’m trying to decide what color to get
I ordered the Apple Watch 8
I enjoy Justine’s reviews. She is very concise and in-depth. I have the series 7 and believe it will still continue to be good for me.
Hope you can show up some review forthe durability of apple watch 8, kind of interesting and inspired to start healthy life style in smart way
An absolutely great video! Very in depth and informational! I love my Apple Watch but feel like I'm not using it to it's full potential! I'm gonna have to start using some of these Fitness classes! Great video!
"I'm all hilled up!!!" pun intended lol
I love and appreciate the hard work and time you contributed to this video!!
Hi can you set alerts when swimming? Say a vibration every 20 lengths? Like the garmin does.
Love your videos and info your a huge icon and glad to see someone being positive and helping others while we’re here
Can you use the Temp sensor for something else? Everyone is just talking about cycle tracking. I want to know if the Apple watch can tell my body temp!
One complaint: WHY REMOVE THE BLUE?!
looking forward to justine's house tour :D
Just wanted to say the production quality of your videos has been stunning lately. Particularly impressed with the graphics and overlays. They’re gorgeous. Excellent job Jus!
I’ll be getting the Apple Watch 8
