I am still using an iPhone 6 for the last 7 years battery health is ‘service’ sound is barely loud so headphones and had to upgrade for sure as most important apps requires iOS 13 and above. Apple iPhone is the one and only which really can hold so long I surely recommend iPhone but some place like mine you can get a entry level at price of pro so Obviously lot costy but worth if you want to use it for long long time just love it and it will love you back.
If you have the 7 and not interested in the very minimal changes to the series 8 it’s not an upgrade what so ever. But if you have never had an Apple Watch the series 8 is pretty damn great. I wish more people included those who still haven’t come along to Apple Watches yet because some are watching to know if it’s even a great choice to make and invest in.
In layman terms, can you tell me why AW series 8 is a good purchase for a first with smartwatch users? I never had a Apple Watch before and of course, I’ve read the reviews but want to hear your personal experience with the smartwatch?
Series 7 stainless steel, with midnight sport band. Will always love the original sport band, I find it the most comfiest compared to braided solo loop and solo loop. Thinking about getting the ultra
My series 7 (worn in a pool a lot but it's meant for that, allegedly) had the dictation stop working in less than a year. Apple sent me a replacement which had the same thing happen in the same amount of time, at which point I was out of warranty of the original. So if you use it in water, don't get a 7.
I really wish I watched your video prior to order my Apple Watch 8 that is exactly same as your with the midnight sports band. Had a previous version of the black Apple Watch and loved it. The problem with the midnight sports band is that it look more Navy Blue so along with the black body, it doesn't seem to look right. Had to go to Amazon to buy a black band which is ok. Use my previous Watch black band and it work nicely.
For those who are commenting “low power mode”, are you aware it is a feature present in watchOs9 and available from Series 4 onwards? You all make it sound like it’s a Series 8 exclusive feature…
Great job of showcasing the Apple watch series 8 I have been sitting on the fence I still using the series 4 thanks for pushing me over and off the fence. And after you were done thanking your sponsor you jumped right N your unboxing and review was to te point i look forward 2 your next review I had never saw your channel until today long live the king thinks mate.
My favourite apple watch feature is the easy way to view notifications as my phone never notifies me well enough. Ide love to have a chance to win the iphone giveaway 😃
@nisjohnnequinto preordered myself a series 8, coming from the series 3 user. haptic engine, customization, and aod are the features im looking forward to.
I upgraded from the series 5 aluminum to the series 8 stainless steel . I thought long and hard about the ultra. The fact I felt I could only wear the ultra watch with casual wear was ultimately a deal breaker for me.
I’m also upgrading from the series 5 aluminum to the 8 stainless steel, mine is back ordered. What color stainless did you go for? I went silver but I was torn between graphite
@parasjames my favorite feature of the series 8 is the crash detection feature. taking chances I guess… I’ve never won on any raffle game. Hopefully this one? Hehe😂
question... if you get the wifi only option, do the emergency features still work? If you fell or sth happened, I can't imagine it'll call emergency services when it says you can't text or call without having your iphone near you
I don’t see anybody else answering this so I will, you need a cellular capable watch to use the SOS features without a phone nearby. One thing to note, if you do buy a cellular enabled watch but you choose not to pay for a monthly plan, you can still call 911 & do stuff like that (most modern phones do this already, where you don’t need a monthly plan to call emergency services)
@bigcbee Definitely the new temperature sensor. Although it may not seem to be a great feature now, I think the series 8 is the testing grounds for future watches.
The 8 is perfect for people who don’t know if they want more like the ultra or a little less like the SE. I got silver aluminum 8 after not having an Apple Watch since the 1st Gen. I love the updates. I just want that flat screen like on the Ultra.🥲
Dude you wear your watch really weird. The opposite wrist makes sense due to being left handing but the upside down is mind boggling. Why have a watch on at all of everything’s going to be upside down 😂
Dude this isnt even a upgrade coming from the series 7 besides the apple watch ultra every year they look the same with very minimal upgrades I'll be sticking with my fenix 7 solar sapphire
My brother before im see your apple watch series 7 unboxing after im buy watch its super and iphone 13 also by im after see your video thanks for clean explanation
@mjoshss the always on display is definitely relevant and more suited here on the apple watches rather than on the IPhones where it can just probably get a bit distracting
@Tru3_412 I definitely need an always on display. Currently using the SE Gen 1 and I hate having to flick my wrist to get my time to show. Will probably buy this tomorrow. Great video!
@raj.u.gurung Ordered my first apple watch SE series. Main drawback for apple watch for me was battery this time they got low power mode at least. Ultra seems compelling but very expensive 😅
@v_chhiengz , My favorite Apple Watch feature is the temperature sensor , it’s a new feature which caught my eye on it and I have already pre order it right now , I hope I have a chance to use iPhone 14 with my new Apple Watch
Have you tried pairing it with the leather buckle band in black? How does it look? Looking for a more "formal" look but unwilling to go to the stainless steel version since I plan on upgrading regularly.
@Eric_grant99. My favorite apple watch feature is the temperature sensor to help track sleep. But I don't understand when would be the best time to charge it if I wear it when I sleep... I guess when I get home from work
@@DionMedia I noticed you said you would do that in your video. I find most of the time I end up leaving it behind if I do that. Maybe I need to move the charging station closer to the front door, there just isn't a good spot to put it
@mo_min_a. I really like the crash detection. But also the brighter display and temperature sensor I think my parents will get me one. If I win the giveaway it will be matchy matchy.😊😊😊😢
Do you have an Apple Watch, if so what model do you use? ⌚🤔
I’m going to get the Apple Watch SE or the Apple Watch SE 2!
I’m still using a series 3
I never use smart watch and Apple Watch like their features but I like watch 7 good
KK_4ever_ab
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!!!!!!!
Apple Watch SE 1 and I will buy the new series 8
My Series 7 will seem to hold out a little longer, as this isn’t much change to me. Great review Dion.
Going from a series 3 to a 8 man I like it!
I ❤it.
I have the series 4 and this might finally be the year I upgrade and get the 8
Enjoy!
I have a series 3 Nike Edition and series 4. I was looking at getting the series 7 but now I’m looking at the series 8 in Product Red.
I am still using an iPhone 6 for the last 7 years battery health is ‘service’ sound is barely loud so headphones and had to upgrade for sure as most important apps requires iOS 13 and above.
Apple iPhone is the one and only which really can hold so long I surely recommend iPhone but some place like mine you can get a entry level at price of pro so Obviously lot costy but worth if you want to use it for long long time just love it and it will love you back.
I was about to ask you why is your Apple Watch upside down, Dion. I don't think they ever invent things for left handers.
One of the top 5 questions I receive:)
If you have the 7 and not interested in the very minimal changes to the series 8 it’s not an upgrade what so ever. But if you have never had an Apple Watch the series 8 is pretty damn great. I wish more people included those who still haven’t come along to Apple Watches yet because some are watching to know if it’s even a great choice to make and invest in.

Same, too bad they don’t do that because the series 8 is my first smart watch ever, and i only see videos comparing the old watch to the new one.
The crash detection feature will be my favourite
imcgpranav
Apple watch users lockdown to Apple forever 🤣
In your opinion, is the change from series 7 to series 8 worth it? Great video. 😃✌️😅
Series 7 stainless steel, with midnight sport band. Will always love the original sport band, I find it the most comfiest compared to braided solo loop and solo loop. Thinking about getting the ultra
Enjoy!
Hello, may i ask if its any difference between midnight blue colours AW 7 and 8? Is really 8 darker? Thank you 🙏😊
I didn’t receive it yet but I wanted bEcausE the fall detection 😮
I have the 7, so I am intrigued by the brighter screen, and how well the low power power mode works.
My series 7 (worn in a pool a lot but it's meant for that, allegedly) had the dictation stop working in less than a year. Apple sent me a replacement which had the same thing happen in the same amount of time, at which point I was out of warranty of the original. So if you use it in water, don't get a 7.

The best feature of the Apple watch.in my opinion, series 8 is the low power mode
I really wish I watched your video prior to order my Apple Watch 8 that is exactly same as your with the midnight sports band. Had a previous version of the black Apple Watch and loved it. The problem with the midnight sports band is that it look more Navy Blue so along with the black body, it doesn't seem to look right.
Had to go to Amazon to buy a black band which is ok. Use my previous Watch black band and it work nicely.
@romillereyes my favourite feature would probably be the always on display. Still have an apple watch series 3 so sadly dont have that feature.
For those who are commenting “low power mode”, are you aware it is a feature present in watchOs9 and available from Series 4 onwards? You all make it sound like it’s a Series 8 exclusive feature…
Hi Francesco, you are right and those with the upgrade to OS9 can profit from this advanced form of battery life extension
Great job of showcasing the Apple watch series 8 I have been sitting on the fence I still using the series 4 thanks for pushing me over and off the fence. And after you were done thanking your sponsor you jumped right N your unboxing and review was to te point i look forward 2 your next review I had never saw your channel until today long live the king thinks mate.
Thanks Charles, a more in-depth review coming up!
Got you mate I’m locked N Keep dropping the content I got a seat on yo train 🚂
My favourite apple watch feature is the easy way to view notifications as my phone never notifies me well enough. Ide love to have a chance to win the iphone giveaway 😃
Ah, you are not alone:), there will be one winner, that is for sure. Announced on 16/10
Yet another excellent unboxing video, Dion.
One of these days you should buy something in Starlight and freak people out 🤣
Will do :)!
Like the screen, features, don’t need period cycling, Find a discounted series 7
@nisjohnnequinto preordered myself a series 8, coming from the series 3 user. haptic engine, customization, and aod are the features im looking forward to.
@eskimoMTB, i love the new low power mode!
How did you get both sizes?
With skill
Looking to get series 8. In currently have a series 3
the non cellular apple watches look so clean
Love from Australia!
Obviously being paid as the series 8 has the least amount of new features added..
Is the midnight blueish? Could I wear is with a black band and not notice?
You will notice slightly
Series 5 don’t see any big advantage to upgrade.
This’ll be my first Apple Watch. I think I’m making a great choice
Se1 and the new series 8
@vitchlumsky my overall favourite feature is now the low power mode, im finally able to make the battery last for more than one day.
Camera was way too far away for this review should have been more close up shots
Series 7 midnight 45mm gps only and I can’t find one single reason to buy this Series 8.
@ukclicks I love the new power saver mode on the series 8
I upgraded from the series 5 aluminum to the series 8 stainless steel . I thought long and hard about the ultra. The fact I felt I could only wear the ultra watch with casual wear was ultimately a deal breaker for me.
I’m also upgrading from the series 5 aluminum to the 8 stainless steel, mine is back ordered. What color stainless did you go for? I went silver but I was torn between graphite
@@Raec123 I got graphite bought it on launch day and had it delivered same day.
I had a series 5 in black. Hoping to snag an ultra with a gold case and see how that works. Otherwise, the watch is…unique.😂
I’m waiting for the Apple Watch Ultra ⌚️
Hi Jay, cool! Enjoy
@@DionMedia I will do
My series 3 still kickin it
I love the sleep tracking feature!! 😊
I just got mine and I love it
Great to hear. Enjoy!
Nope But I would like to have one to use it with my iPhone 7 :) My Favourite Feature of Apple Watch is ECG
1 day battery?
What I don’t get is that here in this video the midnight colour looks blue . But on the Apple website it looks black. What is this magic ?
That is indeed the magic of the midnight colo
Dion Schuddeboom color-:)
@@DionMedia so you mean to say that it’s actually blue ? I wanted to order online . But I want blue and not black .
@@ahanabanerjee9843 I’m pretty sure it’s a really dark blue which makes it sometimes look blue and sometimes black based on the lighting
I think series 7 and series 8 have the same 1000 nits screen brightness
@ronan.obeirne
41mm looks like the one to go for
Well I don’t have any Apple Watch
Still using my iPhone 8😢
So I can tell my favorite feature 💔

I’m left handed as well and this would be my first Apple Watch. How do you flip it upside down?
It’ll let you choose what wrist you prefer to wear it on and will adjust everything for you.
@bigcbee
Definitely the new temperature sensor. Although it may not seem to be a great feature now, I think the series 8 is the testing grounds for future watches.
The 8 is perfect for people who don’t know if they want more like the ultra or a little less like the SE. I got silver aluminum 8 after not having an Apple Watch since the 1st Gen. I love the updates. I just want that flat screen like on the Ultra.🥲
Can you plz help me in deciding band size as I ain’t able to shop instore the only option i have is online,
great video quality!
Thank you!
Great review’s , keep it up
Will do my best-:). Thanks!
Awesome review
Amazing, Your reviews are always great!
@hanifhaiqall - My favourite Apple Watch feature I’d say the activity ring. They keep me motivated to do better each day.
@technsem, my favourite Apple Watch feature is the heath feature that tracks heartbeat and all other issues .
Are you dutch or so? Schuddeboom sounds dutch.
Yes, I am
OMG i love your videos!!! definitely subscribing :)
Thanks!
very nice watch.
40mm ???

Dude you wear your watch really weird. The opposite wrist makes sense due to being left handing but the upside down is mind boggling. Why have a watch on at all of everything’s going to be upside down 😂
Hi Trevor, I am sure you are not surprised if I tell you that you are not the first one:). But, that is how I like it
Dude this isnt even a upgrade coming from the series 7 besides the apple watch ultra every year they look the same with very minimal upgrades I'll be sticking with my fenix 7 solar sapphire

@lar_barr i just purchased this watch, my first Apple Watch ever so I’m really looking forward to most of its features 😅

My favourite feature is is the haptic engine
But I could also say I think they are all really good, especially with the series 8

@616collective, favorite watch feature is the new health features apple is really stepping it up this time around
Agree, important feature!
@kaankacapor
@eitamav_ and my favorite feature about the Apple Watch is the always-on display,, just makes the Apple Watch look so much better in my opinion🙃
@nirzara6 just got series 7 will wait for 9 instead now
@ng_tommy_
I love the sleep tracking feature. Its so nice that they updated it so there are more stats to look at like REM etc.
@mert.sesli My favorite Apple watch feature is blood oxygen measurement.
@nwatadavid
I love the lower power mode and display,😎
@maor_sharabi1 favroite apple watch feature must be the quick charge and health options
@tim.oefner - best feature is honestly the haptic engine
@itsjemmyk
that band was quit good
@diegoignaciopb
My favorite feature on the apple watch is the heart rate monitor and the new crash detection.
@homerdefino Apple watch series 8 crash detection 🚙
Have you tried pairing it with the leather buckle band in black? How does it look? Looking for a more "formal" look but unwilling to go to the stainless steel version since I plan on upgrading regularly.
I did try that one and it looks rather formal indeed
@cuongkesc1
My favourite is now the low power mode. From vietnam with love
@Eric_grant99. My favorite apple watch feature is the temperature sensor to help track sleep. But I don't understand when would be the best time to charge it if I wear it when I sleep... I guess when I get home from work
