Apple Watch Series 4 now available for pre-order

In addition to the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, the Apple Watch Series 4 is now available for pre-order on the Apple online store and via the Apple Store app .

Apple Watch Series 4 marks the very first change in the design of the Apple Watch since its inception, with new models offering screens up to 30% larger and a smaller and thinner package. The new models are available in sizes 40 and 44 mm, ranging from 38 to 42 mm.

Several new watch faces were designed for the Apple Watch Series 4 to take advantage of the additional screen real estate, and all models now use a black ceramic and sapphire glass stand for better cellular service.

A dynamic feedback has been incorporated into the digital crown, which is also equipped with electrodes to activate a new feature that allows the watch to read an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Despite the new features, the Series 4 models continue to offer 18 hours of battery life all day long.
