Apple launches the Apple Watch Series 8, SE, and Ultra at the Far Out event.

I’ve expected the Series 8 and a new SE model to be released, but there’s a new, unexpected Watch — The Apple Watch Ultra.

Here are all the features — hardware and software — of the newest Apple Watches. And the features that make the Ultra model an athlete’s friend.

Two exclusive features for all the new Watches

#1. Temperature Sensor

The Apple Watch finally gets a temperature sensor. Oh, not one, but two.

The two sensors — one lying at the back of the watch, and other just below the display — can measure your body temperature every 5 secs with 0.1°C accuracy.

If you’re a woman, this will show further insights of your menstrual cycles. You’ll get retrospective ovulation estimates, and improved period predictions.

#2. Crash Detection
