The first thing you’ll notice about the Series 4 is its face. Apple stripped away the thick bezels surrounding the watch’s display and brought the screen nearly to the edge. Both Series 4 models are slightly larger than their predecessors (more on that later), and their displays are more than 30 percent larger. That makes a huge difference. The 40m...
I was sitting in the audience at Apple Park when Apple COO Jeff Williams revealed the Series 4’s two sizes, and I confess that I audibly groaned when I saw the smallest option was now 40mm. Sure, that’s just two millimeters larger than the 38mm, which has been the smaller version in every other generation of Apple Watches. But 2mm can make a big di...
The Series 4 is a significant step toward making the Apple Watch a must-have device. Apple received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for two game-changing features: an ECG app capable of taking electrocardiograms on the go, and an atrial fibrillation feature that alerts you when you experience five irregular heart rhythms. The a...
The Apple Watch has improved by an order of magnitude when it comes to performance. Just three years ago, the Series 0 relied on your iPhone for every interaction and took ages to load anything. The Series 4 is blazing fast by comparison, thanks to the fourth-gen S4 watch processor. Launching into a run happens almost instantaneously (not including...
The Apple Watch has always had Siriaround, but you had to press on the Digital Crown, which was slow to summon the assistant, or issue a “Hey Siri” command, which is a little weird when you’re out in public. The Series 4 now lets you call upon Siri just by raising your wrist and speaking. That’s it. Just start talking. The faster processor makes th...
The automatic workout detection is particularly useful to me, because I occasionally forget to end a run or start a spinning workout and then end up with inaccurate data (or no data at all). When I started running, the watch vibrated after three minutes to ask if I wanted to launch a running workout. Then it gave me credit for the three minutes and...
I thought cellular connectivity would elevate the Apple Watch to must-have status, but then I realized that I will never not have my iPhone with me. I need it for too many things, not least of which because scrolling through Instagram on a watch isn’t a pleasing experience to the eyes. Apple has improved the cellular reception on the Series 4, so y...
The Apple Watch Series 4 still lasts about 24 hours on a charge, the same as every model preceding it. Apple aims to deliver 18 hours on a charge, but it can easily cruise through an entire day. That’s slightly better than my iPhone, which sometimes needs to be charged before I go out in the evening, but falls short of the fitness-focused Fitbit Ve...
The Series 4 isn’t perfect. The Apple Watch has been coasting on 18-hour battery life since it launched, which makes it less than ideal for tracking sleep, and that hasn’t changed with the Series 4. And many people tell me they would love an Apple Watch but are put off by the slightly rounded square design that Apple has stuck with since the beginn...
The Apple Watch Series 4 is a smartwatch with a larger screen, better cellular connectivity, and more advanced health features than previous models. It has a large screen, good call quality, ECG capability, fall detection, and WatchOS 5 with numerous improvements. It is expensive, battery life is unchanged, and it does not have built-in sleep tracking.
