I love the series 4. I upgraded from series 1 and it’s so fast and the screen is bigger. I got the 44mm. The ecg is also a very nice feature.

I bought this watch to replace my series 2 that broke. So far I’m not very impressed with it, the cellular feature is handy but not needed for what I do. So far the only differences that I like between my old series 2 and this new model is that the screen is a little bit bigger. Other than that it’s pretty much the same functionality as my old watch and if I was to buy another one I would probably go without the cellular version just because I don’t need that feature.

What a difference!

Upgraded from a Series 3 LTE model, so I already knew LTE was the way to go again. The display—oh my goodness, the display! It’s hard to put into words the difference the display makes to the overall usability and aesthetics of the watch. Colors are richer than all prior series and the increased pixel density makes graphics sharper and text more readable at any distance.
The Taptic feedback is improved overall and the addition of Taptic feedback to the crown is nice. Really seems like it should have been there from the start of Apple Watch.
The speaker is MUCH louder, so I can see myself actually using it for phone calls, Walkie-Talkie and such (unlike the Series 3–it was hard to hear).
Overall, the 44mm size compared to the 42mm I had before is only subtly apparent. But honestly it feels the same on the wrist. I would go so far as to say maybe even better due to how the slightly increased height of the watch allows the band (Sport Loop) to not be pulled across so much of the top of my wrist. Obviously that’s subjective based on wrist size/band style, but an observation nonetheless. The watch body is visibly thinner from the sides than previous series and really lends itself to a more sleek appearance.
Oh, and for those who hated the Series 3 LTE crown with the hideous big red dot... it’s no more! At least on the Space Grey model, the red ring is there, but it’s subtle. Just enough of an accent to indicate the LTE presence without being gaudy about it. Thank you, Apple!
I cannot speak to the ECG/EKG feature as it is not available yet. I also have not yet tested fall detection (not actively trying either, haha), though I do have it enabled. Like insurance, hope you never have to use it but when you need it, it’s invaluable.
I could go on, but you really need to see it to get a full appreciation of the updates. Thanks for reading!

The best smart watch

I wanted to wait until the EKG feature was released for the Series 4 Apple Watch before fully reviewing it. I purchased the cellular model and it's connected to my Verizon account. First and foremost, I have to say that this is easily the best smart watch on the market. It beats out Android Wear and Samsung's Gear watches with features, integration with the source phone, full cellular capabilities, app selection, and available accessories.
The design has remained relatively unchanged since the first Apple Watch. It's a rectangle with bands that slide out for easy changing. The heart-rate monitor and charging are under the watch just like every other smart watch. Apple added one of the EKG contacts under the watch, has improved the heart-rate monitor, and increased the screen size by reducing the bezels around the display. This is a really good looking display, it puts others to shame. The square shape does turn some people away but the display, an OLED panel, is bright, vibrant, and photos look great on it. GIFs in texts are display smoothly and, of course, there are true blacks.
The Apple Watch is tied exclusively to iPhones but it integrates well with them. Test messages, phone calls, apps, photos, and media all automatically transfer between device. The integration is deeper than Android Wear with Android smartphones and Samsung Gear watches with Galaxy phones. Apple always does a good job of integrating their products together and the Apple Watch makes the perfect companion for the iPhone.
The exercise tracking has improved over my Series 2 watch. Automatic detection actually works and there are a couple new exercises that it can track. I don't have any issues with the Series 4 automatically tracking my walking on a treadmill, outdoor walking, and various other exercises. I have to manually start tracking for row machines but that's pretty normal. I like that my heart-rate is constantly, and accurately, tracked while exercising and everything gets put into the Activity and Health apps. I also get credit in Pokemon Go now that it can read Apple Health and Activity data.
Siri doesn't require a the "Hey, Siri!" wake command anymore, all you have to do is raise your wrist and speak a command. Siri is much faster than before whether the Series 4 is directly connected to an iPhone via Bluetooth, over wi-fi, or on a cellular network. The built-in microphones accurately hear every command and allow for easy text dictation. Phone calls are also fine to take with the Apple Watch. I hated it before but don't mind them now.
The watch is well-built and can withstand exercising and swimming without issues. I've bumped my screen on walls and desk edges here and there and it hasn't scratched or cracked. Your old bands can fit the new watch so long as you stay within the same size (38mm bands fit the 40mm watch and 42mm bands fit the 44mm watch).
The EKG feature isn't something that you will use everyday but it is interesting and has actually helped people. I have used it 8 times now just to get an idea of how my heart performs under different conditions (relaxing, exercising, while stressed, etc.). Luckily, I don't have any heart conditions but the EKG was accurate when compared to one (using 4 points) taken by my physician during a job entry examination. It's accurate enough to identify problems but not zero in on their locations within your heart.
Lastly, battery life has been improved. I can easily get through a day and still have 50% of my Watch's battery life. This included monitoring 30-90 minutes of exercising daily, using the Breath app 4 times a day, monitoring my daily movement, responding to texts, and controlling music playback on my iPhone. I have even begun just taking my Apple Watch and wireless earbuds into the gym with me and leaving my iPhone at home. Streaming music through Apple Music to Bluetooth headphones while tracking exercises does take a toll on the battery but it will get you through a 5 hour session (which is more than enough for me). I just wish Planet Fitness would update their app so I could show them my membership card on my watch instead of having them look it up with my phone number.
Apple has made the best smart watch on the market. It is expensive and only works with iPhones but, if you have an iPhone, this is easy to recommend. Exercise tracking is spot on, the additional health aspects are nice to know, there are more apps available for the Apple Watch than any other smart watch, it's surprisingly rugged, the battery life is great, and the screen is the best on the market. You can finance the cellular model over a 24-month period, I recommend taking that route if you (understandably) don't want to (or can't) pay for it upfront. That's what I did and the overall cost added to my bill, including service for the Watch, was only $17 a month.

Awesome choice!
We had been talking for quite a while about the purchase. i loved my fitbit and what it does and i miss that alot, but the feature that we got make up for it. prone to falling and 70 years old, the fall feauture is great. went back and forth on the phone feature and added it.
Conner, our sales person took alot of time to get us up and running, but there is a learning curve. Everyday we learn something else.
Be sure to get Apple Care

This update of the watch is great! I have had each series from the first one to now the fourth and I have to say this is the best one yet. The screen size is a game changer, you can actually use your screen to get a movie ticket or use it as a pass to get on an airplane. The battery life is amazing and the new speakers are super loud and super clear. Plus I love shopping at BestBuy because you can find apple products a little cheaper than at Apple.
