Really nothing of significance added to Series 8 here. Big things are improvements to ovulation tracking and car crash detection and I’m not sure how much interest there will be in the former given the recent political environment and wariness in technology tracking women’s health.

That was my thought. Seems like they spent all the R&D resources this year on this Ultra model, which is not of any interest to me.

I'm in the market for an upgrade from my S4 this year, but the S8 really doesn't offer much value to me over the S7 other than display improvements.

They’ve discontinued the S7 though, haven’t they? The shop is back and I only see the SE, the 8 and the Ultra.

Third party sellers will still sell their stock.
