Among the biggest changes coming to the new Apple Watch SE is its new S8 processor, which is the same chip inside the Series 8 and Ultra models.

Like the Series 7, the Series 8 comes with a dust and crack resistant screen. Both the Series 7 and Series 8 have an always-on retina display and either a 41mm or 45 mm face. New watch faces, an always-on and larger display (thanks to smaller bezels), and better durability are the highlights of the new series. It's made possible by updated motion sensing with a new gyroscope and accelerometer. While both models have fall detection, emergency SOS, blood oxygen sensors and gyroscope, the Series 8 offers a set of tracking upgrades that assist with wellness and safety. While the Ultra is the most expensive option with a variety of bells and whistles, you may find that Series 8 is better for your needs.
