Apple Watch Series 8 adds new body temperature sensor

While the Apple Watch Ultra caters to the active, outdoorsy folks, the Apple Watch Series 8 appeals to the regular crowd. It includes a new body temperature sensor embedded in the bottom and on the display. Apple doubled down on its usefulness for menstrual and ovulation tracking. It can monitor your body temperature changes throughout your cycle and look out for any potential health issues you might have related to your cycle. This new Apple Watch even offers retrospective ovulation estimates. As with any other sensitive personal data, Apple promises your health info is encrypted from end to end. Your data will only be shared if you decide to share it.

Apple adds on the Apple Watch's fall detection with a new crash detection feature. It uses the smartwatch's barometer, GPS, and mic on your iPhone to determine the severity of the crash. And when the Apple Watch Series 8 detects this, it'll check in with you. If you remain unresponsive after a 10-second countdown, it'll dial emergency services.
