Win! 1 of 3 Apple Watch Series 8 smartwatches

This competition is now closed.

Do you ever look down at your wrist and wish that the watch that adorned it could just… do more?

Perhaps you’re thinking that it would be nice to get regular heart rate updates, perform a quick meditation or just reduce the need to reach for your smartphone to check if what you heard was a notification.

Maybe you’ve just started your running journey and are tired of not knowing how far you’ve gone, how fast or how many calories you’ve burned?

If any of this sounds like you, then we’re here to help with our latest competition.

Three lucky readers of Exceptional will get the chance to upgrade their wrist game with a brand-new Apple Watch, coming in a Midnight aluminium case with Sport Band and GPS connectivity .

The new Series 8 model has all the top-end features you’d expect from Apple, with things like crash detection, body temperature monitoring and water resistance to 50 metres.

In our testing, we found the Apple Watch 8 would often last longer than the 18 hours that it’s specified to last, even with longer workouts – but you’ll still want to charge it every day or so.

To that end, we’ve included an original Apple 20W USB-C charger, as the charging cable in the box comes with this newer port and we want to make sure you can get going with your new smartwatch right out of the box.

To win one of these brilliant smartwatches, just click the competition link below and answer two questions about great articles on Exceptional – and don’t forget to let us know whether you’d like to win the 41mm or 45mm version!

Please note: the Apple Watch Series 8 requires an iPhone 8 or later (launched 2017) running iOS 16, so do check your phone is compatible before entering.
