According to Apple, the Series 4 represents "a fundamental redesign and re-engineering of Apple Watch." As a result, watch out for a lot of very cool changes, from the curved corners to the all-new and larger display.
The Series 4 provides lots to talk about but it's the display that is capturing the most attention. The narrow borders deliver a viewing area that’s over 30 per cent larger! The curved corners match the radius of the case, allowing for images and the touch surface to almost extend to the very edge of the screen.
Because of the bigger display, the design of the interface has been remodelled with the new Infograph watch face now capable of handling eight complications, allowing you to do more and see more at a glance.
The optical heart sensor has always been a feature of the Apple Watch, but in the Series 4 it can now detect if your heart rate falls below a specified threshold for a period of 10 minutes, and activates a low-heart-rate notification as a result.
The Series 4 is a complete SiP a System in Package. This means the entire system is fabricated onto a single component with some incredible capabilities crammed into that small device.
The Apple Watch Series 4 boasts improvements in virtually every sense, and that includes a speaker that's 50 % louder for enhanced audio quality for things like Siri and the Walkie-Talkie function. Meanwhile, the microphone is now on the other side of the watch to minimise echo when making phone calls.
Manufacturer: Apple
At first I only got this watch because it had the call 911 if I fall down and don't move feature. But I am thrilled with it! It just has so many things so well! Very happy that I bought it I really can't imagine being without it now. It has so many features that at this point nothing else will do.
Apple clearly believes smartwatches are here to stay - the Watch 4 utterly proves that. The design alone is a big upgrade, with the screen offering far more visibility, and while the health benefits are only going to help a subset of users, they're welcome and show the direction Apple is heading.
Larger display; Lightweight design; Louder speaker
Still on the pricey side; Battery life needs to be more than two days
As someone who has used several fitness watches, I am truly impressed with this Apple Watch Series 4. I purchased the 44mm GPS version, mainly because I intend to use it for fitness and health.
Been an android user for almost 20 years. Just purchased my first iPhone along with the Apple Watch 4 about three weeks ago and have absolutely no regrets. The phone and watch compliment each other perfectly - simply amazing!
With Series 4 Apple have really got this watch right - it's fast, the screen is amazing and it looks great. I would argue that the price is pushing it - this is inflated by the fact that you do not have an option with the Stainless steel watches for a cheaper non cellular version and many will not...
It is useful for my motorcycle rides, with GPS guidance. It reminds me of simple but very important things like doing physical activities, resting for 1 minute, walking, etc. The only thing I do not like is that it depends on the iphone to work cool. In the next purchase, I will pick one with SIM.
When Apple first introduced the Apple Watch way back in 2015, it wowed, but was also a major disappointment for some consumers the world over. This was a rare instance when an Apple product had polarising opinions across the board. At the time, people did not know what to exactly do with it.
For pretty much as long as smartwatches have been a thing, the Apple Watch has been treated by many as the gold standard.
The usual caveats apply, but the new Apple Watch is still far and away the best smartwatch experience out there.
Incredibly smooth software experience; Great look and feel;
You have to own an iPhone; No ECG in Australia;
W hen the Apple Watch debuted four years ago , there was quite a bit of skepticism from the traditional watch industry, media, and enthusiasts alike. Personally, as many aBlogtoWatch readers know, I was enthusiastic about it from day one and continue to be so to this day.
All in all, the Apple Watch Series 4 is a very impressive bit of kit. Not only is it able to accurately track a host of workouts - being intuitive and a pleasure to use throughout - but it is also a beautiful and super premium lifestyle device.
Larger display; slimmer chassis; gorgeous design; lightweight; smooth performance and navigation
Pricey; battery life still only 2 days; won't track sleep natively; no always-on display option
