Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple Watch Series 8 Unboxing & Hands On!”.
Foreign guys, it’s your average consumer and today is Apple Watch series eight day baby. So today we are checking out the brand new series. Eight got a couple of new watch bands to go with it and we’re going to talk about all the new features and everything that you get inside of the box. So let’s jump in all right. So, let’s I thought this box trips me up every time. I don’t know what’s which part to get? Maybe it’s. Ah there we go nice and clean.
I got it. Oh wait! A minute is this? Oh, this is the midnight. Oh that’s exciting. Actually so we’ve got it in the midnight aluminum case and we of course have uh some bands. Okay, so we got the watch here. Oh man, midnight is dope.
Now, if you guys remember the MacBook Air with the new M2 Chip with the midnight color, it looks really cool because it looked black. But if you look close enough, it’s kind of blue as well. So in the right lighting.
You can see that it’s blue, but from afar it looks black, so you can kind of make it match anything. I love this now the midnight is dope, but there are some other colors as well. So for the aluminum cases we do have the midnight there’s also going to be Starlight as well as silver and for stainless steel. You’Ve got gold, graphite and silver. Of course, the starting price of the watch is 3.99 and it goes up depending on the size, color band, all that good stuff and in the Box you also get some paperwork.
Quick start guide things, warranty, information safety, all that stuff – and you also get this guy right here. So this is your Apple watch charger now this is what allows it to do the fast charging, because it’s also got USB C all right. So that’s the Box. Let’S throw a band on here: what do we? What are we going for fellas? We got the standard, silicone band.
We’Ve got some sport Loops over here and we also have a Nike sport, Loop kind of like in the middle one night. I was leaning towards this, but the midnight you’re right – let’s just you, know what let’s just take a closer look at all of them. This is the midnight sport band. So I wonder if there’s going to be a hint of blue with this as well? Oh, there is a hint of the blue.
This is kind of nice, that’s so crazy. They really nail down the black look, but, like I’m, really blue, it’s nuts dang. My foot is kind of this now, okay, so this is the sport Loop. This one’s got some like green in it Dom do you like it, that’s okay! I was expecting more from that one.
This is the blue game Royal slash midnight, navy, Nike sport Loop. I like the look of this and it’s got the just. Do it for all. You doers out there go on.
Do it all right guys, so we’ve got our series eight all set up over here, so we’re gon na talk about all the new things, one of the newest things. You probably can see it right now, uh. You can actually change some watch faces now. You can customize a little bit more.
My personal favorite watch face. Is this one right here? It’S the modular watch face. What’S nice is now you can add a background color to it. You have all these other options so, depending on the look that you’re going for you can match even more, which I’m stoked about uh this green one right here, you know, come on guys.
You know me. I love this. Interestingly enough, I had the background on my uh phone. It’S like it’s like meant to be so from a physical standpoint.
This looks very much like the series. Seven there’s been no changes to the hardware whatsoever, except for this new temperature sensor. So now there’s a temperature sensor inside of here that can take the wrist temperature of your body, and this is a feature that’s going to be more geared towards women, or at least as of right.
Now it has more benefits for women. It’Ll be able to be used in a couple of cool ways, so it’s got two temperature sensors one on the inside one on the outside. I believe – and it’s going to be great for those who are family planning. So if you’re family planning uh it’s going to be able to help, detect or track your ovulation, which is actually critical to know when it comes to planning for a baby, it can do it automatically jump into the health app, and you can see all that information To help you plan accordingly and I’m pretty sure that’s going to be a game changer for a lot of the folks who plan to use this, It’s Gon na Save a lot of time.
I just love that Apple’s adding all of these like health related features. A lot of these things, you don’t know you needed until it’s there and it’s kind of like whoa, that’s actually really useful. There’S all these different things that Apple’s like making fall detection all this stuff, it’s all encrypted, even though it’s health related it’ll, all be just stored right on your device, completely secure and can choose. If you want to share it with your physician or your doctors. I think that stuff is awesome and speaking of fall, detection Apple actually added another feature in case of some kind of accident, and that is Crash detection, so Apple actually added this to the entire Apple watch, lineup, even the new phones.
They all have crash detection built into them now and what happens with that is if you’re wearing your Apple watch, and you happen to get into a severe crash in your car, it’ll use the accelerometer the gyroscope. I think the microphones, all that stuff and machine learning, to kind of understand that everything that’s happening at this one point sounds like a cry sounds like you could be in danger and the watch will contact emergency services as well as your emergency contacts to let them Know you were in an accident and because this thing also has GPS built into it, it’ll be able to give the emergency responders your exact location, so they know exactly what’s going on. I think that’s I mean who was asking for that me.
Neither and they just made it and it’s like. Oh that’s, actually extremely useful. Now, if you are used to using the app watch, maybe for workouts uh, if you’re really serious about your workouts, they actually added a few changes to the workout app.
I think there’s more advanced workouts that you can now track. I mean I go to the gym every now and then, but I’m not I’m not there yet, where I’m like tracking everything I do so like. Maybe I got ta get better.
Maybe maybe that’s why the gains as they should be right, Carl nice, there bro. I appreciate you cousin. Now we are seeing a lot of software tweaks so another one of those is actually the redesigned Compass.
So this is completely redesigned with a couple of cool new features. One is the Waypoint, you can add a waypoint for your current location. Don’T show my location Dom.
You can’t have nobody up in here man, so maybe there’s a body of water and you need to refill your canteen or something you can mark that location as a waypoint and as you move away from it, you still have it in your compass app. So you can track exactly where that location is, should make it really easy to find certain spots. I think that’s pretty cool, there’s actually another feature called backtrack that you can just tap. You can start your backtrack and what this will do is it’ll basically keep track of your steps as you go places. So if you’re outdoors – and you start this and you go on your path – and you forget how you got there – you can just use backtrack to find your way back.
You can retrace your steps if you, if you’re somebody who really forgets where they parked their car all the time you can just use the backtrack feature, and then you can find your way. You know that’s a a way. I’D use it because Lord knows I ain’t hiking, I ain’t gon na happen and if you’re a traveler international roaming is now available on the Apple watch uh, I don’t know if you can forget your phone or something or whatever the situation may be. You got that feature too now something that’s pretty cool.
Is there’s going to be a low power mode now on the Apple watch, which extends the battery life to basically double so you go from 18 hours of standard use to now 36 hours, which is wild. Now you do sacrifice a couple of features: uh like the always on display, but you still get the important stuff like activity, tracking and even fall detection, but yeah guys, that’s pretty much. All of the new things with the new Apple watch series: hey.
