Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 8

The Apple Watch Series 8 is the latest installment of Apple’s flagship wearable. Never a company to disappoint when it comes to cutting-edge technology, Apple stuck to the script on the Series 8 – the new Watch introduces temperature sensing, features crash detection, and offers an enhanced workout app, just to name a few of its advantages. The Always-On display has a smooth and seamless design and is easy to read, while the thick front crystal and flat base make it durable and resistant to cracking. The wearable is also dust and water-resistant so that it will last for miles of trail or thousands of laps in the pool.

While the new Apple Watch is loaded with new features, you can expect standard wearable features like heart rate tracking, workout routine recording, phone calls, texts, reminders, and more. Use Maps, Siri, Apple Pay, and all of your favorite Apple apps to connect with friends and family. Also featuring Family Setup, which allows you to use your iPhone to pair watches for your children who don’t have their own iPhones yet. The watch face is also fully customizable for a genuinely unique wearable experience.

Get this Apple Watch for just $129 in the Labor Day sales

Smartwatches have quickly become a very important utility, from helping us interface with our phones without pulling them out all the time or helping us with fitness tracking. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, then you're probably familiar with the high prices many of the newest Apple watches go for. Luckily, Walmart has a great deal on the Apple Watch SE 1, which is still pretty great, and is going for $129, rather than the usual $329, a substantial discount we don't usually see.

Why you should buy the 40mm Apple Watch SE 1
The Apple Watch SE almost needs no introduction, being the first budget-oriented Apple smartwatch on the market, and it was quite a surprise when it originally came out. While it doesn't have all the latest and greatest sensors like Watch Series 8, it has a heart rate monitor that can sense irregular rhythms. It also has fall detection, which makes this a great option if you want to grab this for an elderly relative while being on a tight budget. Workout tracking is, of course, excellent, as you'd expect from Apple, and the included sleep tracker also gives you some nice information, although there's no deep analysis, so don't expect that here.
