WatchOS 8 continues the trend of Apple adding useful features without overhauling the entire experience. This is inevitable because above all else, stability and speed have to be at the top of Apple’s priority list and so the way watchOS 8 works will feel largely similar to watchOS 7. This does not mean, however, that there is not a lot to enjoy here because all of the small changes add up to an even more positive experience than previously, and they fit in with the idea that the Apple Watch is mainly there for when you need it. The idea of making the Apple Watch the best fitness tracker you can use and the ideal personal assistant persists in watchOS 8, but more than ever before, you can use it standalone if you have a cellular model. Small changes to input methods and sharing functionality fill in some of the few remaining gaps and the rest is there to improve on what is already present. If you have any experience of watchOS at all, none of this will be challenging and the most important part is simply knowing that the changes have been made. It’s time to experience the best watchOS yet.
