Apple, which started its fairytale saga in a garage, continues to redefine its class and push its limits. And the Apple Watch Series 8 is no exception.

Until a while ago, there wasn’t such euphoria around smartwatches in the world. It all started with fitness bands and then to keep pace with our fast-growing demands, makers started to evolve their gadgets and now Apple shows us that there’s not much left that its top-notch smartwatches can’t do. Moreover, when it comes to style, few can give Apple watches a serious run for money.
