A:AnswerThe screens are pretty hardy due to the materials used. The screen on the aluminum version is Ion-X Glass (similar to Gorilla glass) whereas the screen on the stainless steel version is sapphire crystal. While both offer scratch resistance, sapphire crystal offers better resistance than Ion-X Glass.
Despite these screens’ inherent scratch resistance properties though, if you bump and scrape frequently, you may want to consider a screen protector. I have used one on my Series 2 aluminum almost from the time of purchase over a year ago. I have no scratches or scrapes on my screen. The protector is barely noticeable, and does not interfere with usage. Except for the guy at Apple who put a new band on my watch a few months ago, no one has ever noticed the screen protector I am using. (Note: nothing went wrong with the original band, I just wanted another color option.)
A:AnswerApple 4 watch with gps+ cellular means that if you have a compatible iPhone, you can purchase an additional add on from your cellular company so that your watch stays connected on the network even when your phone is further away.
A:AnswerI just contacted Sprint-they do not have the contract for the gold stainless steel with stone sports band-they contracted for the gold aluminum with the pink sports band and all Nike (ick) watches. They told me they will never have the gold stainless steel with stone band. Sad, isn't it..I wonder is the gold aluminum watch with a separately purchased stone band will work...?
A:AnswerJust as the phone purchased outside of your carrier is usually unlocked the Watch is able to go on either phone company. None are programmed specifically for one carrier company out of the box.

A:AnswerIn order to set up the Apple Watch 4, you will need an iPhone with the iOS Watch app, as well as a cellular plan with a cell provider that supports Apple Watch (such as T-Mobile, Verizon, ATT or Sprint.) As you note, the watch will sync up with the number of your cellular plan. The watch will share data from your data plan. You will also pay a fee to have the watch on your cellular plan (usually around 10.00 with autopay.) Once that is all set up, you can leave the phone at home and rely on the watch for functions like calls, texts, emails, health tracking and such.
A:AnswerIt has the potential to do so. Apple announced that it would include this feature in a future update. At this time the way h can not detect afib or do the EKG feature.
A:Answer“The first streaming-music service to announce an app for the device, Pandora said in a blog post that its Apple Watch app will provide a way to adjust volume, change tracks and see what's playing on a paired-up iPhone by glancing at your wrist.” It looks like you still need your phone.
A:AnswerJoel, use the Best Buy trade-in tool in the app or website to estimate the trade-in value. The series 3 is being accepted. I’ve done trade in previously, but only with items for which selling it would not yield a meaningfully higher result. In this case, if it were me and my series 3 were still in good shape, I would choose to sell rather than trade it in. But, the option for trade in is available.
