Body-temperature sensors

As previewed last spring at WWDC 2022, WatchOS 9, the software which powers the Series 8, is chock-full of fitness and health features. With the new body-temperature sensor, the Apple Watch Series 8 takes health tracking a big step further. The Series 8 measures biphasic readings — aka hormonal fluctuations, and shows a retrospective estimate of when you ovulated in the Health app.

Apple didn't mention measuring temperature for signs of a fever, which falls in line with Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman's prediction that we'll have to wait for future Apple Watch versions. That might come in 2024 with the Apple Watch's rumored blood pressure and blood sugar monitoring features.

Crash detection

Another major update to the Apple Watch Series 8's suite of features is crash detection.
