Why buy an Apple Watch
An Apple Watch is an on-the-go command centre for calls and texts, Apple Pay and dozens of health and fitness metrics.
Health
The Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra boast several near-identical health and fitness features. Both watches have temperature, blood oxygen and electrical heart sensors that deliver alerts for high and low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms. They give users insight into their sleep stages and offer cycle tracking with ovulation estimates.
Safety features
Each Apple Watch is engineered with an emergency SOS system that includes international emergency calling, crash and fall detection, a compass backtrack and more.
Cellular connectivity
With the Apple Watch, users can send a text, make a call and stream music, even when travelling internationally.
How they differ
If you're stuck between the two Apple watches, here are the main differences to consider:
🔋 Battery life: The Series 8 offers up to 18 hours on a single charge, whereas the Ultra delivers up to 36 hours.
🌊 Water-resistance: While both watches are safe to wear swimming, the Series 8 is waterproof up to 50m, versus the Ultra, which is water-safe up to 100m. The Ultra also offers a water temperature sensor and can handle recreational dives up to 40m.
🔨 Build: The Apple Watch Series 8 has aluminum and stainless steel body options. The Ultra is made from titanium.
