Was a major plus for me. The last thing you want is a watch that you have to apologize for visually just so you can find out when Ebay is asking you to bid from your wrist
It's a lovely thing to wear

Software will take a while to get used to
The Apple Watch feels exactly like you'd expect it to
A first attempt. Apple's fused its own design ethos with the limited technology around at the moment to make a compelling smartwatch – but it's still a smartwatch
A device that doesn't really have an
The battery has easily been good enough in my 42mm (which has a slightly bigger battery than 38mm models) to last a long day without having to step down into the ‘it only functions as a watch' Power Reserve mode
But it's still a pain to take it off night
No universal search
Expensive at any level
Battery life is one day
Missing many key apps

Delivering an exceptional performance across the board in almost every test, we highly recommend the Series 4 if you are an iOS user and want the absolute best smartwatch you can get. It is on the more expensive side and we wish it had a bit better of a b...

Bigger and brighter watch face, new heart rate sensors, better speaker, old watchbands still fit
Autosensing for ending some workouts is too aggressive, LTE available only on stainless steel models, settings like Theater Mode still don't mirror between iPhone and Apple Watch, battery life not good enough for back country use

Pricey and only works with iPhones, Siri is still not great, Automatic workout detection is a hit and miss, No alwayson display option, No way to see individual activity summary on the watch, No native sleep tracking
To us, when you draw the line, all the changes that come together in the Apple Watch Series 4, however, are truly an ‘A-ha!' water-shed moment for the Apple wearable. The larger screen is the most significant advancement here, a big moment that reminds us...
