**A Guide to Using Your Apple Watch Series 8**
When it comes to tracking your health and fitness, there's no better companion than an Apple Watch. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the features of the Apple Watch series 8, including its electrocardiogram (ECG) capabilities, music functionality, and more.
**Electrocardiogram (ECG) Functionality**
One of the most exciting new features in the Apple Watch series 8 is its built-in ECG. This means that you can track your heart health right from your wrist. When you're ready to check your ECG, simply put your finger on the screen and hold it there for a few seconds. Your heart rate will be displayed, and if it's within a normal range, you'll see a sinus rhythm result. This is great news because it means that you can't get shocked by the defibrillator if you have a sinus rhythm.
**Music Functionality**
Another feature we love about the Apple Watch series 8 is its music functionality. With the Apple Watch, you can listen to your favorite tunes without needing your iPhone. Simply put on your Beats fit Pro or other wireless headphones and start playing music from the Apple Music app. It's that easy. We think this feature is a game-changer for anyone who loves music but doesn't want to carry their phone with them.
**Display and Build Quality**
The display on the Apple Watch series 8 is bigger and brighter than ever before, making it perfect for reading notifications, checking the time, or streaming videos. The stainless steel model of the watch has a more premium feel to it, with a heavier weight that's sure to impress. We love this feature because it makes the watch feel like a high-end device.
**Band Options**
One thing we do want to note is that the band options on the Apple Watch series 8 are still pretty limited compared to some of its competitors. However, the Melanese and Gold bands we have in our collection look absolutely stunning and add a touch of elegance to the watch. Whether you're dressing up or dressing down, there's a band out there for you.
**Verdict: Is the Apple Watch Series 8 Right for You?**
So, is the Apple Watch series 8 right for you? If you already have an iPhone, we think it's a no-brainer. The watch integrates seamlessly with your phone and offers a range of features that are sure to enhance your daily life. Even if you're not an iPhone user, the Apple Watch series 8 is still worth considering. Its ECG functionality and music capabilities make it a great choice for anyone who wants to stay on top of their health and fitness.
**Tech Talk: What's the Difference Between the Series 7 and 8?**
If you already have an Apple Watch series 7, you might be wondering what's new in the series 8. The answer is that there aren't a whole lot of changes. The display is bigger and brighter, and the watch has a more premium feel to it. However, if you're currently rocking an iPhone 6 or lower, we recommend upgrading to the series 7. If you have an iPhone 7 or higher, the series 8 is worth considering.

same size here's the six now the six doesn't have the wrap around display but basically all of the same functionality and the same thing with a series five now the series five is a little bit smaller and one more side note a lot of people been asking me where did I get this Gucci band from this is not a Gucci band this is a Fuji band I just made from Fuji okay about eight dollars on Amazon I'll leave the link for it up in the description but it does have the Gucci colors now if you want a real Gucci band you could get something like this I had this one custom made from a cat online called uh

Amongst yourselves all right Josh I'll be back in now I got to watch fully set up here's how it looks on my wrists absolutely beautiful okay I'm definitely feeling the gold and like I said if you got a gold iPhone this is the perfect combination now I know the main question everybody's gonna ask me is if you got a series seven should you upgrade and get the series eight and the simple answer is no it's basically the same watch now it is a few upgrades but not enough that I would say run out and get rid of your Series 7 and go pick up the eight all right it's gonna feel like you bought the same Watch twice now let me show you some of the basic functions okay let me take it off on the back you can see it's protected with the sapphire crystal there's all your sensors okay on one side you got your digital crown okay and your multi-functional button so let's hit the button once that'll take you to your home screen if you swipe over this is how you change your watch faces now you can also press and hold change different watch faces and also edit them okay so I can change the different color schemes right from the watch face exit out of that bong just like that now if you hit this button again this is going to bring up all of your apps okay so any app that I want to get to say I want to open up a calculator press it just like that press it again that'll take you back pressure one more time back to the home screen now if you press and hold that's going to activate Siri what's the weather for today it's currently clear and 77 degrees now there's a couple of different ways you can activate your Siri when you're wearing the wrist wearing the wrist when you're wearing the watch on your wrist you can set it up to now I actually turned this feature off but I'll show you how it works okay now I'm gonna have to open up the app to do that but you can set it where when you risk now it's like I'm getting tongue-tied when you raise your wrist and start talking Siri will be activated okay now I don't like that one because a lot of times I like to raise my wrist fast and it automatically starts listening you can also use voice hey Siri hey Siri what's the weather for tomorrow okay matter of fact let me see did I turn them let me let me take it to the app real quick let's go to Siri okay look so we got hey Siri raised to speak all right we'll try that again okay what's the weather for tomorrow here's the forecast all right so that's the rage to speak hey Siri what's the weather for tomorrow here's the weather tomorrow okay so that's how it works so three different ways you can open up your Siri now I'm going to turn this uh race to speak off because like I said if you leave that on every time you raise up your Rich your Rich um Siri will be listening all right so let's go ahead and pop this off okay I love The Melodies the loop band okay so that's the digital Crown button next multifunctional button press it once this is all your recently used apps okay so say I would go to my settings button just like that press the digital Crown go back home if you press it twice this will bring up your cards all right so if you want to use Apple pay or you want to see all your cards press it twice now right now I don't have anything set up on this one but I'll press it twice on this one you see my Geico my stubs movie all your cards that'll come up okay so I didn't have anything set up again now if you want to charge it grab the wireless charger slap it on the back start charging right up okay now if you press both buttons together now take a screenshot and if you press and hold okay this will bring up your medical ID okay your compass and your backtrack and your SOS emergencies okay so assistant said you're about to get robbed all you got to do clandestine lead hold on your power button swipe for SOS then give up your goods all right but everybody will know that um you're getting got because it's gonna call whoever you got set up and you can have it set up to call the police if you want just like that all right so that's it for the uh buttons and the functionality always on display okay let me show you how that looks now it's a little bit bright in here so it's hard to see but you're always on display will be off okay let's turn it off okay now when you raise your wrist it lights up all right so if you let it dim down okay let it dim that's dim you pick it up it gets super bright okay so that should always on display now let's take it over to the app okay now from the app you got all your different watch faces now these are the watch faces that I have already set up so if I press one button okay let's go to um we don't have to customize this one color temperature set as current watch face hit the button bong now I got a new watch face so you can do that from your watch or if you happen to be scrolling through and you see okay maybe I want Mickey Mouse okay set as current watch face now we got Mickey Mouse let's see this I haven't used this one so long I thought he was supposed to tell the top I forgot how to use the Mickey Mouse but there's a way to make Mickey actually say to Tom it's ten or seven I haven't used that one so but it's that one is cute anyway so you got all your different watch faces now the one that I use the most is the infograph again you could customize all the different settings okay you got customize your top right bottom right side dial everything you want set it as the current watch face Bond there it is all right so let's sit back now I'm gonna try to go through this quick you got all your notifications okay leave all those on I got my notifications on for all of my apps because that's basically what I'm using the Apple watch for getting my notifications okay now you got your app view now if you don't like this grid view say you don't even know the names of all of these apps you might be new to the Apple ecosystem put it on list view then when you press the button you have the actual names of the apps now if you're good if you leave it on grid view you're gonna have to know what each one is like I already know this is in memojis I know this is music I know this is

that's all your watch faces and you got discovered all right so you can play with all of the new features all right so now let me show you now I'm not going to go through everything specifically but let me show you some of my main uses for having an Apple watch all right so my number one use for having an Apple Watch is making phone calls this is the number one thing that I do so if I'm in the car and I'm driving or if I'm just chilling in the crib and I gotta make a phone call we're gonna go to the phone app okay let's go to keypad and let's call up a diner and see what time they close Okay so we got 718 49 okay 6673 okay sit down okay let me get maximum volume yeah hi um what time you guys close tonight you never close oh okay cool so let me come and check y'all out all right I like this now all right I'll be there in a minute all right all right later all right she was mad cool I like that I like that anyway making phone calls that is my number one use for the Apple watch let's keep it moving all right so here's my second favorite use for having an Apple Watch sending text messages okay send in and receiving text messages simple as this okay so let's go to messages okay let's um the set up a Maya okay I'm gonna hit with the the year okay and we hit send bong just like that now when I go to the keyboard I can also use Swipe okay what's up hit send okay I can also send an emoji okay I could send a little heart animation okay now I got some of my emoji stickers okay that's the one I use the most I can send that one okay but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna troll it right now with 100 different uh messages but I go back okay and I can also use voice are you feeling any better we hit send okay now I was talking too fast but you get the idea sending and receiving text messages now go home now if Amaya happens to take me back while I'm driving I'm working out whatever I do I get a text message all I gotta do it'll come down to my notifications I can just click on it or I can just manually go to messages and hit up with a message just like that let me go ahead and correct that my bad I'm using my Apple watch okay now Maya just hit me back okay I'm just feeling real tired okay I'll have a little conversation all right girl you get some sleep text me tomorrow bong just like that now the cool thing about this is I could be driving I could be working out I can have something in this hand and just use my pinky okay way easier than having to keep whipping out your phone and sending messages okay so text messaging that is my second favorite use for the Apple watch all right so another feature that I use is the wallet paying for products okay so if I get to the store and I want to buy something and they accept Apple pay when I get to the register click it twice my card will be installed already bang page just like that and keep it moving now another feature that I use a lot is GPS turn by turn navigation real simple to use okay I'm just going to open up maps let's search a location McDonald's of course I got to be a fact a fat okay let's see a McDonald's 20 minutes let's do Drive-In and we'll get the navigation okay okay six minutes from here let's go to this one starting route to McDonald's you can ask Siri to report any crashes or hazards you see along the way just like that not it actually opened up on my phone automatically but as I'm driving I'll get turn-by-turn navigation Southwest on 105th Avenue then turn right onto Princeton Street you heard a little chime bing and a vibration at the same time so if you got your music on in the car and you're driving along you know blasting some trap music you know I'm saying you you can't hear your phone or maybe you don't want to hear your phone all you got to do is look over at your watch and you'll get a little vibration to let you know when it's time to make that turn okay so GPS turn-by-turn navigations okay you see and I just got a Gmail I can go ahead and check that immediately all right so that's another feature that I use receiving and uh replying to emails okay just got a notification just like that while my GPS is still running now here's another feature that I love using my Apple watch to control my music now I just opened up YouTube music okay you see it's open up on the phone opened up on the watch you got your album art okay I can hit play and pause okay I can raise or lower the volume please I can skip to the next song wrong just like that skip to another Zone playing pause I can also like this and add it right to my YouTube music library now this is pretty dope because it doesn't really work with Bluetooth speakers it works if you're wearing headphones so when you're in the gym and you're working out and you're on the bench and you sweaty you don't have to keep touching your phone you don't have to keep touching your headphones all you got to do from your watch you can skip to that next song start your next set now I actually use this a lot for Bluetooth speakers so when I'm jamming in the crib I got my music on extra loud okay hit pause I can hit pause it have a conversation with somebody as I'm walking around okay I don't have to be having my phone in my hand I could get back to my music if I gotta tell it wrong just like that and if you notice it does have the actual album art let me show you what it looks like okay here's the actual album art how dope is that now here's one of the dopest features accessing your camera from your watch now when I did my Galaxy watch 5 Pro review everybody was like oh that feature is so sick guess what you can do that on Apple watches also here's how it works you see my phone is completely off now I can use this to be a scumbag or I can use it say I'm on a date and I want to take a nice selfie I can prop my phone up just like this okay no hands on the phone we're going to open up the camera app it's going to automatically open up my phone I can switch to the front or the rear camera and take some photos just like that now why is this scummy let me show you say you just got your phone on the table like this and you got it off and you got it facing somebody and they don't know it just looks like your phone is off on the dock and you're having a conversation and say somebody's uh spilling their guts telling you their whole life story okay and then maybe they're spilling some tea on somebody else you can clandestine Lee go to your phone open up the camera you can take pictures and videos bong just like that without them knowing now I can turn this sound off if I want take my photos but this is perfect for me catching photos of shoes bong just like that and I can review them right from the watch so we hit back let's open the camera one more time you do have some options okay now if I want to I can set a three second timer so this will be perfect for if I'm on a date so we'll do the three second timer okay press the button and I got a photo of shoes just like

to take a picture you can just watch so you can use this for security I can just watch and this is perfect also if you got the cops doing some greasy stuff okay you can turn on video you can have your camera low like this but be using it as a viewfinder so you don't want to be that person with your the phone right in somebody's face I'm recording you I'm recording you you can have the phone low key down by your pants pocket adjust the angle up and use your watch as a viewfinder pretty sick now here's another feature I don't really use too much but you can okay you got all your workout apps now here goes that word again you got a plethora of choices you got outdoor cycle outdoor walk indoor walk outdoor run indoor run indoor cycle pool swims okay Open Water Swim multi-sports hiking elliptical stair stepper roller you got high intensity interval training functional strength training core training yoga Pilates dance the list goes on and on and on you can add your own workouts alright so again a plethora of workout apps now you also got your breathe okay set that app to remind you to breathe you got the weather okay you can check that at your leisure you got your calendar calculator let's try um heart rate okay now my heart rate is always a little bit higher than usual right now so 108 because I'm in the middle of shooting a live video so that's a little bit more stressful okay but my resting rate was 87 which is pretty epic for my age okay okay so this is your heart rate okay now people are always ask me does it work if you got a lot of a lot of tattoos the answer is yes okay so you got your heart rate centered now as far as the new timer the um the uh new they got a time uh the new watch sensors okay the new tracking sensor that one the temperature sensor that one is passive okay so you can't just check your temperature like that you're gonna have to sleep with the watch on same thing with the sleep tracking personally I can't sleep especially with this I can't sleep with a big heavy watch on so I never use sleep tracking and I'm never gonna use some of these new ones that you're gonna have to actually sleep with it on so but you have more deck if you need to let's see is there anything else we need to see you got a compass okay I just got a notification okay allow okay so let's check the compass okay so this is kind of cool you get lost somewhere okay or if you have to give somebody some directions okay head north Head West head Southwest okay so you got accomplish you got all your notes all your emails okay your Maps music you got Shazam and keep in mind you can add as many apps as you want okay you got voice memos I like this one too remind me to get white shoes some new food all right because she's been eating the same every day little voice memos in our and every now and then I'll check and be like okay let me see what I had to remind myself of okay this is going to be your ECGs okay let's try this out whole thing on the crown okay now we're gonna have to wait 30 seconds all right so I didn't want y'all to have to wait the full 30 seconds but I just held my finger you see my uh BPM went back to 89 and I got a sinus rhythm now somebody who used to work as a paramedic a sinus rhythm means normal okay now if it was irregular that'd be something totally different but sinus means normal okay so I got a normal heart rate and just a little trivia right now a little side note if you ever use a defibrillator you see it on a portable AED you cannot shock somebody who has a sinus rhythm so whether you know if the sinus is good or bad it doesn't matter you can't shock somebody with a sinus rhythm so that's all you need to know when you see the word sinus that means you'll you okay you got another couple of hours you have to keep checking anyway let's see is there anything else we need to see here uh let's see um that's pretty much it now of course you got other standard apps you got messenger and you got Apple music go crazy okay here's my Apple music right here I was listening to some 50. okay I can play my music right now you see I got my Beats fit Pro beat solo any one of these different devices I can just connect right from my watch and start playing music so let's kind of wrap this up let me take this off overall fresh out of the box on a scale of one to ten okay on a scale of one to ten I'm gonna give the Apple Watch series 8 a major major major go if you like the series seven okay you're gonna love the series eight it's the same thing but like I said earlier I recommend if you got the seven just keep it you might want to wait for the ultra or maybe wait for the nine if you got a seven and you upgrade to the eight you're not gonna really notice any difference now if you got the six okay if you got the six you're gonna wanna upgrade because the seven and the eight do have a bigger display a brighter display and the wrap around display okay so if you had the five okay the five it just feels a little bit smaller now so if you had the five or the six I would say upgrade but if you had the seven you're good to go now if you're wondering which one should you get aluminum or stainless steel it's not that much of a difference okay as far as the build quality but the stainless steel definitely has a heavier feel to it and a more premium feel to it other than that though pretty much identical I'm pretty much identical I'm going to change this band in a minute and slap on one of my other ones but you see for yourself okay the melanese band is so epic and the gold is so epic anyway this is the Apple Watch series 8. hit me up in the comments let me know what y'all think about this one and on the 23rd I'm getting the ultra and we'll do the same thing

let's take a look at the actual watch okay you got one more round here it is now look at that little gold on this one now I usually get the aluminum case but this year I decided to uh go for the Gusto and get the gold check this one out let's get to see if we can get this off okay look at this now look at that gold trim now I haven't bought a stainless steel one in a while here's my series seven let's get him pop this off I wanted to check the difference in the weight and it does definitely feel a little bit heavier okay so this one definitely feels more premium and if you got the uh gold

follow them and this is going to be your wireless charger angle levels increasing okay let me just calm down let me calm down do it slowly okay so this is USB type c to this wireless charging pad slaps on just like that okay so that's it for the Box nice presentation nothing too fancy I Choose You Want to inspect this for Quality do your thing now let's take a look at some of the different uh watch bands that I got first we'll start off the one that came with it the product red okay product red okay here he goes all right I know ain't really too much to talk about with these you know it is what it is okay so let's go ahead and drop this one on now one of the things about the Apple watch bands all you got to do flip them over and slap it on it's locks into place make sure the silver side is down drops right into place just like that then we'll slap it on okay so this is the product Red Band with the gold Apple watch I like this one okay I like this one okay now let's take a look at a few more bands and then we'll uh walk through the OS next up we got the Nike watch band okay now this is the one that I'm going to use for going to the gym let's get him check this one out okay angle levels angle levels increasing do I need my unboxing knife without getting no Heroes okay Nike watch all right I love this one now y'all seen this one a million times on my channel okay let's drop it on real quick now taking off the watch bands couldn't be any easier easier easier it couldn't be any I sounded like Mike Tyson just now I couldn't be any easier press the button on the back slap on the next one just like that flip it up press that button okay make sure the silver side is down locks in just like that now when I'm ready to go to the gym okay now let's see did I order the wrong size like a noob kind of okay could have got a little bit bigger but it is what it is just like that rock out to the gym actually I think I like the tighter version like this better so I'm grinding in the gym it's not going to slide around at all you ready to take it off bong just like that okay so next up this is going to be the product red okay this is the sports Loop let's try this one okay here's how it looks has a little color tone to that I choose them shoes just excuse the self off the table I like that okay sport Loop so let's go ahead and slap this one on real quick now this one is kind of tricky let me see if I could do this right on the first time okay product red branding slap that on okay slap this side on bunk just like that and when you're ready to wear the watch you just put it on you see it has velcro underneath just lock it in just like that now this is the one that I use the most of my series six okay same thing this is another product Red version this is the one that came with my series seven but I put it on the six and just for size comparison let's do that real quick let me show you how it looks okay real nice go ahead and take this one off size comparison here's the seven okay basically exactly the same size here's the six now the six doesn't have the wrap around display but basically all of the same functionality and the same thing with a series five now the series five is a little bit smaller and one more side note a lot of people been asking me where did I get this Gucci band from this is not a Gucci band this is a Fuji band I just made from Fuji okay about eight dollars on Amazon I'll leave the link for it up in the description but it does have the Gucci colors now if you want a real Gucci band you could get something like this I had this one custom made from a cat online called uh on uh customized Depot okay this is a real Gucci bag that he cut up and made a custom Apple watch band I think it was like about maybe 150 bucks but it looks real nice okay anyway so this is the sports Loop we got one more band now this is the one that I'm excited about the gold melanese band okay gold Milanese Loop now what's that um did I say that correctly on these I think that was the sports loop I found the box to the side of I think that's the correct name of it though but um I could be wrong okay here we go let's take a look at the Milanese Loop this is the one I'm gonna rock pretty much deadly okay now look at this one I had this one I haven't had one of these in a few years but I actually love this one so let's get them pop off the product red okay we want to make sure we do this correctly again just always look for the little silver side down slap that on okay see how easy it is to take off your bands though you could literally switch bands every day right before you go somewhere slap this one on just hope I got the right size okay now I do got a big wrist you know what they say about guys with big wrists we wear big watches you know okay The Melodies Melodies loop I love this one now look how this looks with the gold this is fabulous right here now this is the one y'all probably gonna see a lot in my videos because I'm probably gonna wear this one the most okay Milanese and again has a little magnet so it's going to fit whatever size wrist you got all right so I'm going to pause the video I'll set everything up and then we'll walk through the OS Talk Amongst yourselves all right Josh I'll be back in now I got to watch fully set up here's how it looks on my wrists absolutely beautiful okay I'm definitely feeling the gold and like I said if you got a gold iPhone this is the perfect combination now I know the main question everybody's gonna ask me is if you got a series seven should you upgrade and get the series eight and the simple answer is no it's basically the same watch now it is a few upgrades but not enough that I would say run out and get rid of your Series 7 and go pick up the eight all right it's gonna feel like you bought the same Watch twice now let me show you some of the basic functions okay let me take it off on the back you can see it's protected with the sapphire crystal there's all your sensors okay on one side you got your digital crown okay and your multi-functional button so let's hit the button once that'll take you to your home screen if you swipe over this is how you change your watch faces now you can also press and hold change different watch faces and also edit them okay so I can change the different color schemes right from the watch face exit out of that bong just like that now if you hit this button again this is going to bring up all of your apps okay so any app that I want to get to say I want to open up a calculator press it just like that press it again that'll take you back pressure one more time back to the home screen now if you press and hold that's going to activate Siri what's the weather for today it's currently clear and 77 degrees now there's a couple of different ways you can activate your Siri when you're wearing the wrist wearing the wrist when you're wearing the watch on your wrist you can set it up to now I actually turned this feature off but I'll show you how it works okay now I'm gonna have to open up the app to do that but you can set it where when you risk now it's like I'm getting tongue-tied when you raise your wrist and start talking Siri will be activated okay now I don't like that one because a lot of times I like to raise my wrist fast and it automatically starts listening you can also use voice hey Siri hey Siri what's the weather for tomorrow okay matter of fact let me see did I turn them let me let me take it to the app real quick let's go to Siri okay look so we got hey Siri raised to speak all right we'll try that again okay what's the weather for tomorrow here's the forecast all right so that's the rage to speak hey Siri what's the weather for tomorrow here's the weather tomorrow okay so that's how it works so three different ways you can open up your Siri now I'm going to turn this uh race to speak off because like I said if you leave that on every time you raise up your Rich your Rich um Siri will be listening all right so let's go ahead and pop this off okay I love The Melodies the loop band okay so that's the digital Crown button next multifunctional button press it once this is all your recently used apps okay so say I would go to my settings button just like that press the digital Crown go back home if you press it twice this will bring up your cards all right so if you want to use Apple pay or you want to see all your cards press it twice now right now I don't have anything set up on this one but I'll press it twice on this one you see my Geico my stubs movie all your cards that'll come up okay so I didn't have anything set up again now if you want to charge it grab the wireless charger slap it on the back start charging right up okay now if you press both buttons together now take a screenshot and if you press and hold okay this will bring up your medical ID okay your compass and your backtrack and your SOS emergencies okay so assistant said you're about to get robbed all you got to do clandestine lead hold on your power button swipe for SOS then give up your goods all right but everybody will know that um you're getting got because it's gonna call whoever you got set up and you can have it set up to call the police if you want just like that all right so that's it for the uh buttons and the functionality always on display okay let me show you how that looks now it's a little bit bright in here so it's hard to see but you're always on display will be off okay let's turn it off okay now when you raise your wrist it lights up all right so if you let it dim down okay let it dim that's dim you pick it up it gets super bright okay so that should always on display now let's take it over to the app okay now from the app you got all your different watch faces now these are the watch faces that I have already set up so if I press one button okay let's go to um we don't have to customize this one color temperature set as current watch face hit the button bong now I got a new watch face so you can do that from your watch or if you happen to be scrolling through and you see okay maybe I want Mickey Mouse okay set as current watch face now we got Mickey Mouse let's see this I haven't used this one so long I thought he was supposed to tell the top I forgot how to use the Mickey Mouse but there's a way to make Mickey actually say to Tom it's ten or seven I haven't used that one so but it's that one is cute anyway so you got all your different watch faces now the one that I use the most is the infograph again you could customize all the different settings okay you got customize your top right bottom right side dial everything you want set it as the current watch face Bond there it is all right so let's sit back now I'm gonna try to go through this quick you got all your notifications okay leave all those on I got my notifications on for all of my apps because that's basically what I'm using the Apple watch for getting my notifications okay now you got your app view now if you don't like this grid view say you don't even know the names of all of these apps you might be new to the Apple ecosystem put it on list view then when you press the button you have the actual names of the apps now if you're good if you leave it on grid view you're gonna have to know what each one is like I already know this is in memojis I know this is music I know this is calendar calculator all that stuff but if you don't know it by heart put it on list view you can also arrange it okay so for General all right matter of fact I forgot to show y'all one more thing okay let's take this off okay now from the actual watch let's go through some of the basic functionality if you swipe down this is going to be all your notifications okay you swipe up you got your quick toggles all right so I can turn on my cellular service right now I got it on Wi-Fi only here's one of my favorite features ping okay so you can't find your phone you hit ping and your phone to get it going uh it's gonna ring okay you're gonna use this feature a lot say you drop your phone somewhere oh where's my phone at I can't find it there it is okay and you can do it use reverse to find your watch you got your battery percentage okay you got do not disturb you got theater mode all right that's theater mode when you go to the movies turn it on theater mode it's going to keep your screen nice and dull you don't want to be getting notifications in the movie theater because this watch is super bright don't be that douchebag getting notifications you haven't been to the movies and somebody's watch keeps going off you can see it out your peripheral vision I hate that okay don't be that put on Theta mode you got walkie-talkie that's kind of like the old school Nextel walkie-talkies I'm gonna be honest with y'all I've used that feature maybe three or four times people don't like it people don't like being able to just hit you up like that but if you got that kind of relationship with somebody try to walk your talking future out it's pretty dope okay so you got do not disturb turn off your notifications okay so you got you got do not disturb and silent so now do not disturb is Gonna Do Not Disturb silent you're still gonna get your notifications they're just gonna come in silently okay you got a flashlight it's basically just gonna make the screen extra bright you can use it to find your paraphernalia in the car you gotta have play mode that little water drop if you go swimming with the watch okay and you get water in the speaker turn in the water drop use the digital Crown it's going to push air out of the watch and I'll clean out your speakers okay you got your earplate got your headphones volume and you got your apps that support Dynamic ticks okay so leave all that stuff on and you can also edit now you do have school mode I'm not in school so I deleted that one but if you're in school put it on school mode and uh get some education that's it for that swipe over the other way okay change the clock faces mom just like that swipe up swipe down now let's go to settings real quick from The Watch okay now look now we matter of fact we could go back to the phone because the settings are the same on the phone and the watch okay so where was we we had General okay let's

you now I'm not going to go through everything specifically but let me show you some of my main uses for having an Apple watch all right so my number one use for having an Apple Watch is making phone calls this is the number one thing that I do so if I'm in the car and I'm driving or if I'm just chilling in the crib and I gotta make a phone call we're gonna go to the phone app okay let's go to keypad and let's call up a diner and see what time they close Okay so we got 718 49 okay 6673 okay sit down okay let me get maximum volume yeah hi um what time you guys close tonight you never close oh okay cool so let me come and check y'all out all right I like this now all right I'll be there in a minute all right all right later all right she was mad cool I like that I like that anyway making phone calls that is my number one use for the Apple watch let's keep it moving all right so here's my second favorite use for having an Apple Watch sending text messages okay send in and receiving text messages simple as this okay so let's go to messages okay let's um the set up a Maya okay I'm gonna hit with the the year okay and we hit send bong just like that now when I go to the keyboard I can also use Swipe okay what's up hit send okay I can also send an emoji okay I could send a little heart animation okay now I got some of my emoji stickers okay that's the one I use the most I can send that one okay but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna troll it right now with 100 different uh messages but I go back okay and I can also use voice are you feeling any better we hit send okay now I was talking too fast but you get the idea sending and receiving text messages now go home now if Amaya happens to take me back while I'm driving I'm working out whatever I do I get a text message all I gotta do it'll come down to my notifications I can just click on it or I can just manually go to messages and hit up with a message just like that let me go ahead and correct that my bad I'm using my Apple watch okay now Maya just hit me back okay I'm just feeling real tired okay I'll have a little conversation all right girl you get some sleep text me tomorrow bong just like that now the cool thing about this is I could be driving I could be working out I can have something in this hand and just use my pinky okay way easier than having to keep whipping out your phone and sending messages okay so text messaging that is my second favorite use for the Apple watch all right so another feature that I use is the wallet paying for products okay so if I get to the store and I want to buy something and they accept Apple pay when I get to the register click it twice my card will be installed already bang page just like that and keep it moving now another feature that I use a lot is GPS turn by turn navigation real simple to use okay I'm just going to open up maps let's search a location McDonald's of course I got to be a fact a fat okay let's see a McDonald's 20 minutes let's do Drive-In and we'll get the navigation okay okay six minutes from here let's go to this one starting route to McDonald's you can ask Siri to report any crashes or hazards you see along the way just like that not it actually opened up on my phone automatically but as I'm driving I'll get turn-by-turn navigation Southwest on 105th Avenue then turn right onto Princeton Street you heard a little chime bing and a vibration at the same time so if you got your music on in the car and you're driving along you know blasting some trap music you know I'm saying you you can't hear your phone or maybe you don't want to hear your phone all you got to do is look over at your watch and you'll get a little vibration to let you know when it's time to make that turn okay so GPS turn-by-turn navigations okay you see and I just got a Gmail I can go ahead and check that immediately all right so that's another feature that I use receiving and uh replying to emails okay just got a notification just like that while my GPS is still running now here's another feature that I love using my Apple watch to control my music now I just opened up YouTube music okay you see it's open up on the phone opened up on the watch you got your album art okay I can hit play and pause okay I can raise or lower the volume please I can skip to the next song wrong just like that skip to another Zone playing pause I can also like this and add it right to my YouTube music library now this is pretty dope because it doesn't really work with Bluetooth speakers it works if you're wearing headphones so when you're in the gym and you're working out and you're on the bench and you sweaty you don't have to keep touching your phone you don't have to keep touching your headphones all you got to do from your watch you can skip to that next song start your next set now I actually use this a lot for Bluetooth speakers so when I'm jamming in the crib I got my music on extra loud okay hit pause I can hit pause it have a conversation with somebody as I'm walking around okay I don't have to be having my phone in my hand I could get back to my music if I gotta tell it wrong just like that and if you notice it does have the actual album art let me show you what it looks like okay here's the actual album art how dope is that now here's one of the dopest features accessing your camera from your watch now when I did my Galaxy watch 5 Pro review everybody was like oh that feature is so sick guess what you can do that on Apple watches also here's how it works you see my phone is completely off now I can use this to be a scumbag or I can use it say I'm on a date and I want to take a nice selfie I can prop my phone up just like this okay no hands on the phone we're going to open up the camera app it's going to automatically open up my phone I can switch to the front or the rear camera and take some photos just like that now why is this scummy let me show you say you just got your phone on the table like this and you got it off and you got it facing somebody and they don't know it just looks like your phone is off on the dock and you're having a conversation and say somebody's uh spilling their guts telling you their whole life story okay and then maybe they're spilling some tea on somebody else you can clandestine Lee go to your phone open up the camera you can take pictures and videos bong just like that without them knowing now I can turn this sound off if I want take my photos but this is perfect for me catching photos of shoes bong just like that and I can review them right from the watch so we hit back let's open the camera one more time you do have some options okay now if I want to I can set a three second timer so this will be perfect for if I'm on a date so we'll do the three second timer okay press the button and I got a photo of shoes just like that okay let's back out of that open the camera one more time let's go to settings all right so if you want to you can have it automatically open to the front or the rear okay you can have the flash on or off or Auto you can have live photos on awful Auto or Auto and HDR but this is so dope and so scummy okay fellas don't be a scumbag I you can have this setup Clan desktop lead in your room okay and somebody's like I'll walk out the room I want to change my clothes okay cool you walk out you go stand by the door okay you outside the door you can open up the camera now you don't actually have to take a picture you can just watch so you can use this for security I can just watch and this is perfect also if you got the cops doing some greasy stuff okay you can turn on video you can have your camera low like this but be using it as a viewfinder so you don't want to be that person with your the phone right in somebody's face I'm recording you I'm recording you you can have the phone low key down by your pants pocket adjust the angle up and use your watch as a viewfinder pretty sick now here's another feature I don't really use too much but you can okay you got all your workout apps now here goes that word again you got a plethora of choices you got outdoor cycle outdoor walk indoor walk outdoor run indoor run indoor cycle pool swims okay Open Water Swim multi-sports hiking elliptical stair stepper roller you got high intensity interval training functional strength training core training yoga Pilates dance the list goes on and on and on you can add your own workouts alright so again a plethora of workout apps now you also got your breathe okay set that app to remind you to breathe you got the weather okay you can check that at your leisure you got your calendar calculator let's try um heart rate okay now my heart rate is always a little bit higher than usual right now so 108 because I'm in the middle of shooting a live video so that's a little bit more stressful okay but my resting rate was 87 which is pretty epic for my age okay okay so this is your heart rate okay now people are always ask me does it work if you got a lot of a lot of tattoos the answer is yes okay so you got your heart rate centered now as far as the new timer the um the uh new they got a time uh the new watch sensors okay the new tracking sensor that one the temperature sensor that one is passive okay so you can't just check your temperature like that you're gonna have to sleep with the watch on same thing with the sleep tracking personally I can't sleep especially with this I can't sleep with a big heavy watch on so I never use sleep tracking and I'm never gonna use some of these new ones that you're gonna have to actually sleep with it on so but you have more deck if you need to let's see is there anything else we need to see you got a compass okay I just got a notification okay allow okay so let's check the compass okay so this is kind of cool you get lost somewhere okay or if you have to give somebody some directions okay head north Head West head Southwest okay so you got accomplish you got all your notes all your emails okay your Maps music you got Shazam and keep in mind you can add as many apps as you want okay you got voice memos I like this one too remind me to get white shoes some new food all right because she's been eating the same every day little voice memos in our and every now and then I'll check and be like okay let me see what I had to remind myself of okay this is going to be your ECGs okay let's try this out whole thing on the crown okay now we're gonna have to wait 30 seconds all right so I didn't want y'all to have to wait the full 30 seconds but I just held my finger you see my uh BPM went back to 89 and I got a sinus rhythm now somebody who used to work as a paramedic a sinus rhythm means normal okay now if it was irregular that'd be something totally different but sinus means normal okay so I got a normal heart rate and just a little trivia right now a little side note if you ever use a defibrillator you see it on a portable AED you cannot shock somebody who has a sinus rhythm so whether you know if the sinus is good or bad it doesn't matter you can't shock somebody with a sinus rhythm so that's all you need to know when you see the word sinus that means you'll you okay you got another couple of hours you have to keep checking anyway let's see is there anything else we need to see here uh let's see um that's pretty much it now of course you got other standard apps you got messenger and you got Apple music go crazy okay here's my Apple music right here I was listening to some 50. okay I can play my music right now you see I got my Beats fit Pro beat solo any one of these different devices I can just connect right from my watch and start playing music so let's kind of wrap this up let me take this off overall fresh out of the box on a scale of one to ten okay on a scale of one to ten I'm gonna give the Apple Watch series 8 a major major major go if you like the series seven okay you're gonna love the series eight it's the same thing but like I said earlier I recommend if you got the seven just keep it you might want to wait for the ultra or maybe wait for the nine if you got a seven and you upgrade to the eight you're not gonna really notice any difference now if you got the six okay if you got the six you're gonna wanna upgrade because the seven and the eight do have a bigger display a brighter display and the wrap around display okay so if you had the five okay the five it just feels a little bit smaller now so if you had the five or the six I would say upgrade but if you had the seven you're good to go now if you're wondering which one should you get aluminum or stainless steel it's not that much of a difference okay as far as the build quality but the stainless steel definitely has a heavier feel to it and a more premium feel to it other than that though pretty much identical I'm pretty much identical I'm going to change this band in a minute and slap on one of my other ones but you see for yourself okay the melanese band is so epic and the gold is so epic anyway this is the Apple Watch series 8. hit me up in the comments let me know what y'all think about this one and on the 23rd I'm
