With the Apple Watch Series 9 just announced, there's currently a brilliant price on a Series 8 Watch. It's discounted by 22% at Amazon, bringing it to just $309 (equalling the lowest price ever). Though the 9 promises a few extra features, we reckon the Series 8 will prove more than enough for most users – and you'll save a fair whack of cash if you get this model.
But what are the differences? Well, the new Watch 9 has an S9 chip (which is 30% faster) and a 4-core neural engine (twice as fast) – so if speed is your thing maybe spend the extra dollars. Besides that there will be a Double Tap gesture, Precision Finding for your iPhone, extra dimming functionality and HomePod integration. But most of every other feature is the same, including Crash Detection, heart rate monitoring etc – and, crucially, it'll be a lot more expensive.
