When Apple released the new Apple Watch Series 8 last September, there was one key feature that stood out for women – cycle tracking. This new feature helps women keep track of their menstrual cycle and, among other things, aid with family planning.
We took the watch out to sea for some weekend snorkelling and open water fun, though, if you’re active in more extreme activities like deep sea diving, the top-end Apple Watch Ultra may be more suitable. That said, the Watch 8 is a great offering with no large differences in design from the previous model because if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
When logging in a period day, there are options to report symptoms, such as appetite changes, bloating, acne breakout, abdominal cramps, hair loss, headache, mood changes, nausea, fatigue, breast pain, vaginal dryness – you name it, the Watch 8 will have an option for it – whether or not the recent cycle was a light, medium or heavy flow.
It’s just not visually helpful to read data, especially if you want an overview of the month or would simply like to take a quick glance at your ovulation date and fertile window. Still, it’s a matter of reading the data that’s already there. Personally, sleep is an important aspect that requires not only a schedule but discipline too. The watch helps in reminding us that it’s time to hit the sack, and ensures that no matter how much revenge bedtime procrastination we do, we get the hours needed to reset our mind and body for the next day. Unlike cycle tracking, we do enjoy how sleep is tracked automatically. It’s not like cycle tracking where you have to log data.
As far as battery life goes, the Watch Series 8 provides an average of 18 hours of battery life, which while similar to the Watch Series 7, also benefits from the newly introduced low-power mode, which can limit power consumption and extend battery life to up to 30 hours of use. Low-power turns off things like the always-on display, heart rate notifications and start workout reminders to help reduce battery drain.
