@Apple Watch Series 8 vs. SE 2: Five Reasons to Upgrade to the Series 8
Series 8 is great, but it’s $150 more to get features you don’t need. SE 2: https://amzn.to/3jgU9cd Series 8: https://amzn.to/3XZfztd Blog Post: https://powermoves.xyz/health/s9-vs-se/ Favorite Apple Watch Features: https://youtu.be/eAF0eRieSnc Watch Bands Comparison: https://youtu.be/4NcalAiht8E Summary: I’ve been testing out the new Apple Watch Series 8 for two months. The Series 8 is not a huge upgrade from any of the previous models and I don’t recommend it for most people because it’s a $150 price bump from the SE 2 without substantial upgrades. But here are the main five reasons you should consider a Series 8 over the SE 2: - Always-On Screen The SE display turns black when it’s not in use and can be woken up with a twist of the wrist. The Series 8 display stays on at all times. The market loves this feature, but  I keep this feature disabled. While the technology is cool, you’ll lose about six hours of battery runtime and it makes the watch a distraction. - Larger Screen Size Apple upgraded the screen of the Series 8 from 40mm to 41mm while keeping the outer case the same as the Series 6 and SE. This upgrade is nice to have, but it wasn't noticeable until I switched back to the SE after wearing the Series 8 for a few weeks. The upgrade is not as substantial as the 2018 screen upgrade from 38mm to 40mm. - Better Specs The Series 8 has six hours of battery life, the U1 chip, a third-generation heart rate sensor, and dual-band WiFi support. These upgrades sound nice on paper, but I’d be shocked if the average user ever noticed even one of these spec increases in real life. - Extra Health Features Series 8 has an ECG, blood oxygen and temperature reader. While these features are cool, you probably know if you need them without me telling you. As a healthy young adult with no pre-existing conditions, the only time I use the features is when I’m testing for a review. - Premium Materials The Apple Watch SE only comes in aluminum, while the Series 8 has a stainless steel option. The stainless steel looks more premium, plus the glass on these models is made of sapphire, which is a huge improvement over the squishy and hollow Ion-X glass found on the aluminum models. I used an aluminum Apple Watch for years without a problem, but if you can afford it, I highly recommend upgrading to the stainless steel.
