Many smartwatches and fitness wristbands tested are truly multi-talented: they serve as heart rate monitors and altimeters, count steps, calculate the length of distances covered as well as calorie consumption and analyse sleep patterns.

The Apple Watch Series 8 takes first place in our smartwatch best list, seamlessly replacing its predecessor. For Apple users, it remains by far the best smartwatch, even if the innovations compared to the predecessor model are extremely limited. We do not see a compelling reason to switch from the Apple Watch Series 6 and Series 7 to the new Series 8.

The Apple Watch 8 (from 488 euros) with its large display offers the best value for money. Economy fans also get a top smartwatch with the Apple Watch SE from 293 euros - but without a permanent time display, giant screen and health sensors. The expensive Ultra (from 989 euros) convinces with a fresh, robust design, more endurance and special functions.

  • PositiveThe new accident detection has the potential to save lives
  • NegativeBattery life remains weak
  • NegativeSignificantly more expensive than the predecessor

The Apple Watch 8 with watchOS 9 is and remains the benchmark for iPhone users. But: Almost all new functions, except for temperature measurement and accident detection, are also available for the predecessors via update. Only owners of older models will notice any real progress.
