Apple Watch Series 4 review: A bigger and better watchOS experience

The fourth iteration of the Apple Watch still looks like a tiny iPhone on your wrist, but for many, it was the most exciting device announced during the Apple event. at the beginning of the month. A larger screen, faster performance with improved sensors, drop detection and ECG readings are just a few of the features that have prompted rapid interest in the Apple Watch Series. and the users who could benefit the most have a compelling reason to shell out $ 399 or more for Series 4.

Otherwise, the 4 Series is a fusion of small improvements that make all the difference in the Apple Watch experience. These enhancements will attract new Watch users who are expecting a device that meets their personal standards and will make existing Watch users question their happiness with the smartwatch on their wrists. But if the 4 Series represents the first major overhaul of the Apple Watch since its birth, this is not in itself an automatic upgrade for all Apple Watch users.
