Apple Watch Series 4 Review

The Apple Watch 4, released in 2018, was the first model to have bigger screen heights – 40mm and 44mm rather than 38mm and 42mm – and the screen is bigger and nearly reaches the edges. The Digital Crown has been thinned, and grooves across the side mean it’s not as hard to rotate as it is on previous models.

This Apple Watch was the first to come in a gold finish too, which offers a striking look without being over the top. Pair it with a gold strap and it looks fabulous. The speakers and microphone are also good quality and you don’t need to hold your watch up to your mouth to be clear.

The new ECG heart rate sensor gives you the opportunity to take a reading and check your heart for abnormalities, and you can go back through the ECGs you’ve taken in the Health app on your iPhone, making it easy to share the results with your doctor.

Is the Apple Watch Series 4 still a good buy?

Yes – we think so! You can upgrade your Apple Watch 4 to watchOS 9, the latest version. Launched in September 2018, the Series 4 has been around a while now, but you can still get all the latest features. And since you can pick it up for less than £170, we think it’s a great option that doesn’t break the bank.

Can I shower with my Apple Watch Series 4?

Technically, you can shower with your Apple Watch 4 on, but we wouldn’t recommend it. While the watch is water resistant up to 50 metres so you can of course go swimming using your watch, Apple doesn’t recommend exposing your watch to soaps, shampoos, perfumes or any other liquids that you might use in the shower as it could damage the water seals and acoustic membranes. Therefore, unless you’re having a quick rinse after getting out of the pool, we’d advise taking your Apple Watch 4 off before you shower.

What are the benefits of the Apple Watch Series 4?

There are lots of benefits to the Apple Watch Series 4 compared with older models, including:

• Bigger, high-resolution display
• Advanced health and fitness tracking
• Upgraded heart rate sensor
• Walkie Talkie app to talk to other Apple Watch users

Can I use my Apple Watch 4 without my iPhone?

Yes, you can use your Apple Watch Series 4 without your iPhone – if you buy a celullar device. You can make and answer phone calls, send and receive messages and get notifications from apps. But if you just want to be able to go out for a run without your iPhone, you can do this on a refurbished Apple Watch Series 4 with GPS, as it’s all built in and doesn’t require a cellular connection to track your run.
