After the departure of the Apple Watch Series 11many people who have never had one, ask what is the difference between the latest models, since at first glance, it does not seem so much, but in terms of price, we can see a lot, and that is important.
Today, we will analyze the changes we have seen in the last 4 models, being able to choose, depending on our needs, one or the other, since unlike the iPhone, there are not so many, and we could save a lot of money if we choose well.
Differences between the latest Apple Watch models
If you have been aware of Apple's presentation on September 9, you will have realized that they have announced some function such as hypertension notices, something that we can see in the new model, as well as in some previous one, but that it will not have series 8, for example, which makes, if it is something that interests you, it will force you to go for one of these. However, if you are one of those who do not look so at this, you can get it in half of the price, so the same is beginning to interest you less.
Changes between series 8 and series 11:
- Sleep apnea: A function that they added last year, and that will notify us if it detects that we have this problem. It is quite useful, although only if you have it, of course.
- Hypertension: As we said, the measurement of blood pressure is a novelty, and like the previous point, it can be important for people who suffer from it, warning us if we have controlled it, or we need medication.
- Gestures: Although series 8 works with gestures, the latest models have an improved capacity for detection and functioning. Something not useful in most people who never end up using it.
Regarding the rest of them, such as electrocardiograms, accident detection, temperature measurement, etc., are available in all these models, so there would be no other key differences, except for a more resistant screen, the 5G incorporationand minor improvements that, logically, we have seen in 4 years. This last series 11 even promises some more autonomy, something we have been asking for a lot of time.
In short, is it more worth a series 8 than a 11? It depends on the user's needs. As we see, they are important but minimal changes for a period of 4 generations, so that, paying less, be what you care most, while others, something like sorry or hypertension can be key. In my case I continue with my series 8, and I have no intention of changing, except for an important leap in autonomy, or a function that really worth it.
Currently, finding older old versions is very simple, so now it depends on you, and what you look These watches have not changed so much In 3/4 years, so we can continue considering an old one.
