Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS) 44mm Gold Aluminum Case with Pink Sand Sport Band - Gold Aluminum - (2018)

Bottom Line: The Apple Watch Series 4 showcases a series of refinements to the features that made the Apple Watch the leader of the smartwatch category. Pros: sleeker design, larger display, faster and more responsive, improved heart and motion sensors, compatible with existing bands Cons: still an iPhone accessory, price Review: Fans of the Apple Watch won’t he disappointed with the Series 4. Although the changes to the case design seem minor, they have a big impact on the experience. Series 4, compared the previous design, looks and feels less like a “smartwatch” and more just like a “watch.” The bigger screen is fantastic, especially compared to my S0. I love the new watch faces, and the extra screen size helps when typing directly on the screen. For instance, when entering my passcode, I’m less likely to hit the wrong numbers, since the button sizes are closer to those of my fingertips. There are several under-the hood improvements as well. For me, the upgraded processor is huge, since it (re)enables a lot of features that no longer ran well on the S0, including Siri and Music. The heart sensor is also much better at keeping track of your heart rate, which is helpful during activities like bike riding. Although the Series 4 is a nice improvement over previous generations, the Apple Watch is still very much an iPhone accessory. It’s appeal will primarily be those who are upgrading from earlier models and, perhaps, someone who is heavily considering making the jump into wearables that is already invested in Apple’s ecosystem.

I love this thing! Don't know why I didn't buy an Apple Watch earlier but I'm finally there and I couldn't be happier. I like the activity features and achieving goals. It's not like being 'guilted' into performing my daily exercise, it's more like being motivated. And I love that I don't have to run to another room for my iPhone or dig it out of my pocket when I get a call, text or notification of some kind. It is also useful for monitoring my sleep pattern with a sleep app. But one of the coolest things is the ability to easily change bands. I've purchased a number of colorful watch bands to 'accessorize' and it takes just seconds to swap bands unlike with those old style springy post things that would go flying off across the room half the time whenever you had the misfortune of having to replace your Twist-o-flex.

With the larger screen viewing size and the new faces, it’s the best!!! I had a series 2, and this is a worthy upgrade! I don’t “keep up” with the latest, but this upgrade was worth it!!

Due to my history of heart problems, I bought the new Series 4 watch in order to help with my heart monitoring... pulse rate and ECG. I also am using the Activity Rings as a motivator to stay in better shape. Like most Apple products, it is well made and easy to use. I am an "Apple Guy" for life!!

I am absolutely in love with this watch! I wanted to purchase this for such a long time! It’s perfect from a utility point of view. All the notifications come up naturally on the watch! I can’t stress the usage of this watch in daily use!

Due to my physical condition I needed a device that can get my heart rate and beat ECG Fortunately with Apple Watch 4 series I can do that and send to my cardiologist via email

I've owned an Apple Watch 2 since they came out. I did not want the first one since it lacked features I wanted. I skipped over the Watch 3, but hesitated on the 4 because of the price. Now Apple is getting ready to reveal the 5 and prices dropped on the 4, so I jumped. Well, I should have bought this two years ago--performance and features are PHENOMENAL. Anyway, I did look at what Apple is adding to the 5 and it really didn't excite me. I am beyond pleased with the 4.

How are you have been an Apple fan for decadesBut have resisted the Apple Watch thinking it is unnecessary gimmick. Wrong! Really love it and use all of the complications available simultaneously. It takes a Couple of weeks to get up to speed where is this and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
