The editors didn't like
Battery only lasts a little more than a day. Most models and configurations cost more than they should. Requires an iPhone to work. Interface can be confusing. Many apps load slowly. Lacks built-in GPS
Long load times on third party apps
Steep learning curve
Expensive
Expensive at any level
Battery life is one day
Missing many key apps
Expensive… very expensive
Battery could be a little better
Apps can fail too easily
Premium pricing
A day battery life
Thick watch body
Lacks swim-ready water resistance and onboard GPS found in Series 2 models. Only comes in aluminum models
Starting prices are higher than last year. Battery life still won't last past two days. Watch face options are still very limited in choice and function. Only works with iPhones

Big screen and slim body, Runs fast and smooth, New health & safety features, Improved audio and call quality
Reduced battery life, High price tag
We've been fans of the Apple Watch since the very first version, but most people are not like us. And this is a product line that's needed to work hard at broadening its appeal.After the Series 2 (which we adore, but which like many second-gen products go...
Feels great to wear, Screen is gorgeous, Huge amount of strap options, Fantastic array of fitness and health features, It motivates you so well to be active
It won't last multiple days without needing a charge, Still won't track sleep natively, No always-on display is irritating
The Apple Watch 4 is the best smartwatch I have ever used...
The updated Series 4 Apple Watch is a fantastic wearable. The bigger screen makes a huge difference, as do the niceties such as the haptic feedback when you turn the crown.WatchOS 5 is by far the best of its type, and its easier and speedier than even on...

Abstract: When Apple 's Jeff Williams unveiled the Apple Watch Series 4, the wearable looked like it could be genuinely transformational: it could save lives. Not directly, of course – it can't administer first aid yet – but as an FDA-approved health device, it had...
The watch can be used to make calls, send messages, listen to music and use Siri even if you don't have your iPhone to hand - it's also available without this functionality for £399, It comes in two screen sizes - 40mm or 44mm, The watch's speaker is loud
It's slow to boot up, You have to be on EE or Vodafone to use the Apple Watch without an iPhone to hand
If money is no object and you've got an iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 4 is a great buy. It's effectively a tiny smartphone on your wrist, and the health and fitness features really make it stand out. It looks stylish too.Overall Score: 88/100RATINGS:Ease...

We've covered only the most significant differences in the above comparison - we didn't even have time, for example, to mention the cool new dynamic watch faces available for the Series 4's larger screen. But hopefully you get the idea.The newer model is...
Still on the pricey side, Battery life needs to be more than two days
Apple clearly believes smartwatches are here to stay - the Watch 4 utterly proves that. The design alone is a big upgrade, with the screen offering far more visibility, and while the health benefits are only going to help a subset of users, they're welcom...

Better design, Lifesaving metrics, Top sports features
More expensive, Battery life still short, Siri integration still not great
Just as Samsung, Google and the Wear OS gang look like they're catching up to Apple, it goes and streaks ahead. The truth is that the Apple Watch Series 4 is in a different league right now, and balances style, features and specs to make an excellent smar...
Strong display, Lovely back, Clever new health features
No upgrades on fitness really, ECG capability limited to US later
This is a really impressive upgrade from Apple - if you're thinking of getting yourself a Watch from the brand, we'd suggest you start thinking about this one. Given the display is the only real upgrade, you could say there's not much of a change - but it...
