On the smartwatch front, Apple made a clear exclamation mark on the September keynote. The new Apple Watch generation around the Apple Watch 8 is impressive. Apple fans can not only look forward to the eighth version of the popular smartwatch, but also to the exclusive Apple Watch Ultra and a new Apple Watch SE. We’ll show you where you can pre-order the smartwatches now!

The new Apple Watches can do that

Apple has significantly enlarged the screen of the new Apple Watch 8 – with a case of the same size. A new temperature sensor is also used in the smartwatch, which, for example, monitors a wearer’s cycle more precisely and indicates deviations. Thanks to “Crash Detection”, the watch can also determine if the wearer is involved in a car accident. In the event of an impact, the Apple Watch 8 then sends an alarm to emergency services. The “Low Power Mode” is also particularly practical, which shuts down the performance of the Apple Watch when not in use and thus enables up to 36 hours of battery life.

The Pro version of the Apple Watch 8 in particular has it all: The Apple Watch Ultra has been specially developed for outdoor use. Namely, with a case made of titanium and a screen made of sapphire glass, which protect the watch from damage. There is also an action button that executes previously defined functions or commands at the push of a button. The Ultra Watch comes with a SIM module and its battery lasts up to 36 hours.

There may be delivery problems

You can pre-order the new Apple Watches now. But a look at the Apple Store gives a bad idea when it comes to delivery. Because, for example, the delivery times for some Ultra models are being pushed back further and further – sometimes well into November.

Our tip: Try different bracelets if you pre-order. It can even help to just choose a different bracelet size to reduce delivery times.
