Save $70 on the Apple Watch Series 8, just in time for watchOS 10.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is the perfect companion for your iPhone - and it's reduced at Amazon.
We're in August, meaning new Apple products are right around the corner. While the next iPhone is likely to offer a whole host of improvements on the current model, Apple Watch's upgrades are more iterative - meaning the Series 8 is still well worth a look a year on.
Not only is it on our best fitness trackers list, but the upcoming release of watchOS 10 will redesign the UI to take better advantage of the hardware.

Reviews consensus: While Apple Watch Series 8 may be discounted to help clear stock for the inevitable Series 9, that's not to say it's not worth picking up - especially at this price. This model adds crash detection and a temperature sensor to help with ovulation tracking, but aside from that it remains an ideal iPhone companion that's a great fitness tracker.
