Watches Series 8
The Apple Watch Series 8 boasts an IP6X rating for dust resistance, ensuring its durability in dusty environments. Additionally, it has a water resistance rating of 50 meters according to ISO 22810:2010. This means it can be safely used for shallow water activities like swimming in pools or the ocean. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving, water skiing, or activities involving high-speed water or deep submersion. It's important to note that water resistance may diminish over time and is not a permanent condition. For more detailed information, please visit support.apple.com/en-mx/HT205000.
While the Blood Oxygen app on the Apple Watch Series 8 provides measurements, it is important to note that these readings are intended for fitness and wellness purposes only and should not be used for medical self-diagnosis or as a substitute for consulting a doctor.
The ECG app and irregular rhythm notification require the latest versions of watchOS and iOS. It's worth mentioning that they are not intended for use by individuals under the age of 22, and the ECG app is available on the Apple Watch Series 4 and later models (excluding the Apple Watch SE). The irregular rhythm notification is not designed for individuals diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
To utilize the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra, or Apple Watch SE, an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 or later is required. Please note that features, apps, and services are subject to change, and availability may vary depending on your region and language.
