I put the Apple Watch Series 8 back on ahead of the Apple Watch Series 9's announcement, and it made me wish I had worn it more this past year.
I put the Apple Watch Series 8 back on my wrist recently in preparation for the impending — and inevitable — release of the Apple Watch Series 9. It’s no secret that the Apple Watch is great, but I wanted to see if it’s really as good as I remembered.
Related I love wearing the Apple Watch. It’s quite astounding that the Apple Watch’s core design hasn’t changed since the very first version was released, proving Apple got it exactly right the first time around. Other, less confident manufacturers constantly play with the shape, design, and fit of their wearables, but not Apple. It has stuck to a broadly similar formula throughout, refining it and improving the underlying technology instead.
The Braided Solo Loop is perfect for when I want to wear the Apple Watch with an actual statement watch. It’s probably controversial, but I don’t mind wearing a traditional watch on my left wrist and the Apple Watch on my right wrist. Because the Solo Loop is understated and supremely comfortable, it doesn’t look odd , and it doesn’t become bothersome when you pair it with another watch.
It auto-tracks workouts without fail, the movement alerts and medals when I meet my goals are fun without being intrusive, and it’s easy to see how I’m progressing towards these goals too. All my notifications are delivered reliably and with the option to interact with them, and I happily switch between the GMT, World Time, Contour, and sometimes the Gradient watch face. A choice of excellent, free watch faces is pretty rare.
I get around this by wearing an Oura Ring, which is a superb sleep tracker. I also like the way the Oura Ring reliably links with Apple’s HealthKit, meaning workouts tracked and data gathered through either product appears in the respective apps. This faultless integration, which is so simple to set up, is a big benefit of Apple’s tightly controlled ecosystem. The only downside is it’s an expensive combination.
