Nothing here, nothing here
From a point of view of design, We end up with the same continuity of previous generations, the same finish, the same digital crown and the same experience because the use of edges is the same as in previous generations. Same continuity with respect to construction materials, where in this sense we continue to have exquisite construction qualities and materials, honoring the Apple brand.
The Processor It’s the same as previous generations, admittedly they added an extra core, but for practical purposes most users won’t notice a difference in terms of fluidity. However, it is true that the clock processor does not need constant evolution because the functions are much more limited than an iPhone, but it’s time to take a leap, not so much in power, but in energy efficiency.Finally the fast charging and energy saving function It will allow us to have the Apple Watch on our wrist longer, since it won’t be necessary to charge it every night and if we go out and its battery is low, a little quick charge and it will last us a few more hours.
WatchOS 8, a leap forward
In the field of health and the incorporation of sensors,the new generation has taken a step forward. In this context, the new Apple Watch series 8 features such as cycle mode, blood oxygen meter, notifications on aerobic capacity and the SOS emergency, certainly important aspects to know if you are doing sports, if you go for road and the Apple Watch shows a notification or, in the worst case, you have an accident. It may seem like a minor thing, but when it does, it’s appreciated.
The sports application it is much more accurate, with better features that will make your workouts much more statistically complete. However, if with series 7 you had enough information, the same thing will happen with series 8. Beyond what has been said in these lines, you won’t be able to do anything else you can’t do with the previous version and with the same limitations and dependencies as the Watch 2021.
Is the Apple Watch Series 7 worth it?
The answer depends of use that you go to new functions and sensors included in the device. If you want to deepen the parameters offered by the sport app as well as new sensors such as cycle, temperature or improvements in the detection of changes in our heart rate or activation of the emergency sensor in case of accidents, the 8 series is a magnificent device for you that you will like it very much.
In case contrary, if you have the 7 series, the battery is not very degraded and you don’t use its full potential, the 8 series is not the most recommended option for you because it will have updates for many years and you will have practically the same user experience, for what, in the in case you don’t sell it for a good price and find an offer, it’s not worth the jump and if you wait for the 9th generation, it could bring the improvements you’re looking for.
