The Apple Watch Series 8 carries over many of the older features, including health tracking: sleep tracking, ECG, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. But that’s not all: among the novelties, the new connected watch makes it possible to measure body temperature with precision. It also features enhanced workout tracking, crash detection, international roaming, and fast charging.
The Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro smartwatches also have the temperature control feature, but the accuracy remains to be seen. However, Apple is so confident in the accuracy of its temperature tracking that the company has added estimated ovulation dates based on shifts in the user’s body temperature.
Nighttime variations in body temperature are not limited to sleep tracking, which the Apple Watch 8 also enables. This visualizes the likely date of ovulation, as well as the deviation of the cycle, on the watch screen, all accompanied by notifications so you can stay in the know with fertility tracking.
Two temperature sensors
Apple Watch Series 8 has two temperature sensors, one on the back of the watch and one behind the display, to accurately discern changes in body temperature from changes in ambient temperature.
For women’s health, this new cycle tracking feature is an advanced resource for their reproductive health.
