Sep 19, 2018 · I’m really happy — and impressed — that Apple managed to make existing Watch bands fully compatible with the new sizes. Even my old third-party bands fit seamlessly into the new Watch body.

- Apple Watch Series 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy Watch
The Apple Watch Series 4 maintains the same overall aesthetic as the previous three models, with the rounded rectangular face that makes it look like a tiny iPhone on your wrist, along with the rotating Digital Crown and a physical button on the right side. However, for the first time since the launch of the device, Apple has tweaked the dimensions...
It's an Apple product, so unsurprisingly, the Apple Watch very easy to set up. The Apple Watch only works with iPhones, so you'll need an iPhone 5S or newer running iOS 12. Once powered on, getting started is as simple as opening the pre-installed Watch app on your iPhone and pointing it at the Watch's screen, which displays a unique cluster of dan...
With Apple's own S4 processor inside, the Apple Watch Series 4 is super speedy and responsive. Apple suggests that this chip is up to twice as fast as the Series 3's S3 processor. Coming from using the increasingly sluggish original Apple Watch over the last few years, it feels many, many times faster than that old dinosaur. Hardware is a key part ...
The Apple Watch was never promised to be a multi-day watch, and Apple's own estimate of 18 hours of mixed usage has remained the same since the original model.

As mentioned, getting around the Apple Watch's interface is a very smooth experience, and it's a pleasure to look at too. The inability to use third-party watch faces is disappointing, but Apple's own selection is strong and many faces can be extensively customized with various complications and color schemes. That way, you can have a face that's n...
As the smartwatch gold standard, the Apple Watch is still, unsurprisingly, pretty expensive. An entry-level model with an aluminum case and a rubber sport band or fabric sport loop is priced at $399 for the 40mm model and $429 for the 44mm edition. If you want to add LTE functionality to give the Apple Watch its own cellular connection, add $100 to...
Just as Apple and Samsung frequently battle it out on the smartphone side of things, they're also key rivals in the smartwatch space. Samsung's current Galaxy Watch will actually work with your iPhone, even if the Apple Watch won't work with an Android. In any case, these watches are dramatically different in design and interface. The Galaxy Watch'...

Oct 21, 2018 · Apple's new Watch Series 4 has a larger screen, smaller bezels, and it's quite a bit faster. Though an awesome smartwatch, it's missing a key feature, so you might want to wait a year.
