CTOnews.com, September 15 (Xinhua)-- Apple Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2 will go on sale on Friday, and now the first reviews of these devices have been released.

These two new models are very incremental upgrades compared to Apple's original Apple Watch Series 7 and Apple Watch SE.

CTOnews.com learned that the new features of Apple's Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2 models include S8 chips, car accident detection and international roaming. Given that the S8 chip uses the same CPU,Series 8 as the S7 and S6 chips, there is no significant performance improvement over Series 7 or Series 6, but the new Apple Watch SE 2 is 20% faster than the original.

Apple Watch Series 8 is also equipped with a new temperature sensor to help with the existing menstrual cycle tracking function, while Apple Watch SE 2 has a new color matching rear cover and a lower price.

Both models are overshadowed by the new Apple Watch Ultra, which will be launched next Friday, September 23, with a larger 49mm titanium case, a larger display, a more rugged design, customizable action buttons and a new outdoor strap with a waterproof depth of up to 100m or more.

The following is a summary of the evaluations of Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2.

The Verge's Victoria Song describes the new temperature sensing function of Apple Watch Series 8 that can be used to estimate ovulation date information and menstrual cycle deviations:

"as for accuracy, it's a little hard to say, because I only have about a week to experience Apple Watch Series 8. I don't have two cycles of temperature data, I just established a baseline. However, for a few nights, I did have temperature data, which largely corresponds to the data from the Oura Ring ring. For example, the other night, Oura Ring said my body temperature was 0.5 degrees higher than normal, while Apple Watch Series 8 said it was 0.41 degrees higher. "

Victoria Song also commented on the battery life of the Apple Watch Series 8:

"reasonable warning: enabling low-power mode doesn't magically give you multiple days of battery life, and I never get a full 36 hours. Using normally without low power mode, my Apple Watch Series 8 lasts about 24 hours and can be plugged back into the charger. Low-power mode is mainly a good way to get a little extra battery life so that I can go home or forget to recharge my battery before I go out. "

Engadget's Cherlynn Low confirms that Apple Watch SE 2 has the same performance as Apple Watch Series 8 because both models have the same chip:

"this year's Apple Watch SE 2 actually contains the same system-in-package (SiP) processor as the Apple Watch Series 8, as well as a high g accelerometer that can detect car crashes. During the time it was used, as expected, Apple Watch SE 2 responded as fast as Apple Watch Series 8, starting to exercise and complete heart rate scans in the same amount of time."

MobileSyrup's Patrick O'Rourke says that given the lack of major competitors in the Apple Watch, Apple can get out of trouble by updating its devices year by year:

"Apple's Apple Watch is in an interesting position. There is really no viable competition in iOS, especially in the Apple Watch application ecosystem, where you can even compare Android, the closest being Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. This gives the tech giant little reason to really promote wearables in every new version."
