The new Apple Watch Series 4 launches today along with the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The watch gets a number of upgrades over the previous model, this includes a larger display.
Now we have a review video from Marques Brownlee which gives us a good look at the new Apple Watch and some of its features.
Enhanced Display and Design
The new Apple Watch Series 4 features a significantly larger display compared to its predecessors. The screen is over 30% larger, which allows for more information to be displayed at once and makes it easier to interact with the watch. The edges of the display are curved, blending seamlessly with the watch’s body, giving it a more modern and sleek look. This larger display is particularly beneficial for viewing notifications, messages, and other content without having to scroll as much.
In addition to the larger display, the Series 4 has a thinner body, making it more comfortable to wear. The digital crown has been redesigned to include haptic feedback, providing a more tactile and responsive experience when scrolling through menus and apps.
Advanced Health Features
One of the standout features of the Apple Watch Series 4 is its advanced health monitoring capabilities. The watch includes an electrical heart sensor that can take an electrocardiogram (ECG) using the new ECG app. This feature has been cleared by the FDA and can help detect irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, which can be a serious health concern if left unchecked.
The watch also includes a new fall detection feature. Using its improved accelerometer and gyroscope, the Series 4 can detect if the wearer has taken a hard fall. If a fall is detected, the watch will automatically send an alert to the wearer, asking if they are okay. If there is no response within a certain period, the watch can automatically call emergency services and send a message to emergency contacts with the wearer’s location.
The new Apple Watch Series 4 launches worldwide today, prices for the smartwatch start at $399 and there are a number of different models to choose from.
