A software update coming this fall will enable a new 60-hour low-power mode, as well as automatic detection when you arrive at a running track, for more accurate run tracking in that environment. Those speakers can emit an 86 dB emergency siren that can be heard 600 feet away. It has three mics and two speakers for clearer calls (cellular is standard).

Its rugged cred includes MIL-STD 810H rating for low pressure (altitude), high temperature, low temperature, temperature shock, rain, humidity, sand and dust, freeze/thaw, ice/freezing rain, shock, vibration, and more. It automatically shows a depth gauge when submerged, and Apple teamed with Huish Outdoors to develop Oceanic+, an app that turns the watch into a dive computer. It's twice as waterproof, able to withstand depths of up to 100m, and designed for SCUBA diving at up to 40m. A bigger battery offers 36 hours of battery life. A new compass app includes waypoints on the face and automatic backtracking. Improved GPS now supports the L5 band for better performance in challenging areas such as urban races. It adds a new, customizable action button, alongside larger standard controls designed to work with gloves.

The features uses an "improved" 3-axis gyroscope, high-g-force accelerometer, and the barometer (to detect airbag deployment). Crash Detection uses upgraded sensors to detect a severe car crash and automatically call for help. It can also detect cycle deviation, which could indicate a serious health issue. This is used to detect biphasic shift, so the watch can provide retrospective alerts about ovulation. Two sensors, (one to compensate for ambient changes,) take readings every five minutes during sleep. The temperature sensors are primarily for detecting ovulation. Apple Watch Series 8 has two main upgrades over Series 7: temperature sensors and Crash Detection.Apple has refreshed its Apple Watch lineup with Series 8, a new Watch SE, and added a larger, more rugged Apple Watch Ultra for athletes and extreme adventurers.
