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.

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.
Daniel Neilson reviews a versatile smart watch that happens to be quite capable for outdoor use too – but make sure you bring a charger
very easy to use; clear OS mapping (ViewRanger); beautifully designed; versatile; very customisable
battery life; touchscreen can't be used with gloves; needs an iPhone
In terms of fitness this watch lacks what the Fitbit charge HR 2 can provide, in order to display simple fitness data you need to purchase additional apps to work with the watch. The watch also has to be charged on a daily basis, yet a Fitbit can last 3-4 days.
Announced alongside the iPhone XS Max at Apple's September event, the Apple Watch Series 4 is the first time the design and size of the Watch has changed since it was first released.
Big; bright screen; Good battery life; Impressive health features; Better fit in thinner body
Running data still behind Garmin; New flush side button is harder to press
It's disappointing that the Apple Watch 4's groundbreaking new features won't make an appearance in the UK anytime soon.
Larger screen; Thinner; Excellent performance
Battery life still not great; Expensive; No sleep tracking
This beautiful and well-made device is a wonderful piece of art and superb engineering! - I have the black stainless steel case model. It combines a multitude of functions, including monitoring heart-rate, electrocardiograph, multiple exercise functions and calorie-burn, breathing etc.
It’s bigger, it’s better-looking and it could save your life
The larger screen (30% larger no less), especially as the Watch itself has barely grown at all. The Series 4 comes in 40mm and 44mm versions (measured vertically), compared to 38mm and 42mm for past Watches.
There’s no native sleep tracking, and even if there was the battery life is still too short to allow you to wear the Watch at night. The battery will last a day comfortably, but not two, so you have to plug it in every night.
Apple Watch Series 4 is the best reason yet to buy a smartwatch
Sleek redesign, Huge, gorgeous screen, Novel health features
Significantly more expensive than Series 3, No always-on display option
The Apple Watch 4 is better in every way, but you’ll have to wait for its most exciting feature to emerge
While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present
