Apple Watch Series 8 Price And Release Date Revealed

While the temperature tracking system included in the Series 8 Apple Watch will benefit all of its users in a number of ways, women, in particular, could benefit more than others. The new feature builds on the menstrual cycle tracking feature Apple added to its devices three years ago. Amongst the new set of advanced cycle tracking features is an ovulation tracking function. The retrospective ovulation tracker uses temperature and menstrual cycle data to estimate when a woman is ovulating. The fertility feature is based on the biphasic shift women experience from changing hormones — which tends to indicate ovulation has happened. That information could then be used to increase the chances of a couple who are trying to conceive.

Users can also receive notifications on menstrual cycle deviations, which can further help female Apple Watch users keep track of their health. Other health features include continuous temperature monitoring. The new Apple watch will take a temperature reading every five seconds. It also uses a pair of sensors to better estimate those temperatures. One takes a reading close to the skin, and a second temperature sensor under the device’s screen is used to eliminate ambient temperature bias. Apple estimates the watch is accurate enough to spot a temperature difference of 0.1 degrees. The Series 8 Apple Watch will be released on September 16. The GPS-only version retails for $399, while the GPS and Cellular model costs $499.
