“Apple Watch has become an essential companion,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said during the conference.
“This year, we’re introducing our best Apple Watch lineup yet,” he continued.
The Apple Watch Series 8 costs $399 with GPS and $499 with cellular data and will be available in four colors on September 16.
The new wearable is powered by the all-new watchOS 9, which is loaded with new health and safety features that work in tandem with the improved hardware.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is equipped with a new temperature sensor and a heart rate sensor – the data is encrypted, and not even Apple will be able to examine it.
But, if the wearer decides, the data can be shared with healthcare providers for smarter, more precise care.
Apple also introduced a potentially lifesaving feature called Crash Detection.
With Crash Detection, the Apple Watch Series 8 will automatically connect the wearer with emergency services if they are in a collision.
The company also introduced low power mode, which extends the device’s battery life to 36 hours.

Apple also introduced two other models: the Apple Watch SE and their heavy-duty, sporty Ultra Watch.
Like the Series 8, the new Apple Watch SE is packed with Crash Detection, Fall Detection, sleep monitoring and other safety features.
The Apple Watch SE represents a more affordable option at $249 with GPS and $299 with cellular data.
The Ultra comes with the largest battery of any Apple Watch yet, and an upcoming software update will give the Ultra up to 60 hours of battery life for multi-day excursions.
The Ultra has a second button, called the Action Button, that can be customized by the user for quick, convenient screen toggling.
The Ultra can be fitted with three new bands designed to stay on the wearer’s wrist, even in the most intense conditions on Earth.
Apple also designed a new GPS system for tracking workouts in urban conditions, where skyscrapers block can connections.
The Ultra will be available on September 23 for $799.
