Apple Watch Series 4: A guided tour

2018-09-19
the Apple watch has entered its fourth generation it's got a new design this time which it didn't have before and Apple is also pushing into fda-cleared health tech now we've got the Apple watch series four here in two different sizes we just got it we've unboxed it and now I'm gonna set it up and I'm gonna show you what it looks like in steel and in gold steel and give you a guided tour on the watch faces and how the whole interface looks compared to the Apple watch Series three now as far as ECG testing with heart rate that feature is not coming until later this year and we're gonna be doing a lot more fitness tests on the watch but let's dive right in and let me show you what's new on the Apple watch series for design the reviewing and I'm trying out is a gold stainless steel also with a gold Milanese band this is totally over the top not a design would normally wear so this is the 44 millimeter on my wrist looks pretty similar to the other Apple watch at first glance but I like the larger display totally seems like my sized watch definitely not too big actually feels smaller than a lot of other larger Android wear OS and even Samsung watches so it's no pro feels pretty compact and it feels thinner and this is the 40 millimeter which feels pretty small for me it doesn't it feels a little small for my wrist but the screens larger than the 38 so maybe more people want to go for the 40 millimeter if you want to see what it looks like on a big hairy wrist like mine there you go while there is no watch face store on the Apple watch series 4 there are a bunch of watch faces and some new ones let's run them all down so these are the 40 and the 44 millimeter Apple watch series for these are both stainless steel which means they're the step-up models from the aluminum this is the regular stainless steel is the gold stainless steel which is a new color this kinda corresponds to where the 38 and 42 millimeter watches were last year but these both have larger displays they are a little more bezel as' a lot more bezel loose and they fill a lot more of the screen they also have curved edges and let's take a look this is one of the new infographic watch faces this is not available on other Apple watches so it fits 8 into here 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and you can customize it as well by adjusting color now all the Apple watch watch faces of some degree of customization there are no extra watch faces beyond the ones that Apple supplies so no watch face store yet but there are new complications which means bits of information that have extra bits of info here UV index which is a new one sunrise sunset stopwatch stocks by the way you can feel on this crown that it has new haptic feedback so as I turn it I get a little clicky feels so that's also new heartrate calendar so you could do that you could change these up you can change all of them you can actually change the ones in the middle you can add a new calendar something herbs around on top let's say do heart rate and if I tap these I can adjust them all as well this display definitely looks a lot bigger and you can tell if you go back to the Grado apps which is always on the Apple watch here I don't use it that often the icons here are a lot larger to touch usually they're pretty tiny on previous Apple watches now they're approaching something my finger could reach so that's what the two new Apple watch series for watches look like side-by-side but let's compare the Apple watch series for 44 millimeter next to the Apple watch series 342 millimeter this is the largest Apple watch series 3 steel this is the largest Apple watch series for also steal the gold steel so let's lay these side-by-side and now you can really see the different this really seems small this seam is big the cases are not that different so it is bigger but I don't think it's crazy big I like the size of this a lot the big difference too is the watch faces look a lot larger and that's because these this display here goes edge to edge a lot more now they both use circular watch faces it looks like pretty perfectly circular that one looks a little more oval let's compare a few other of the watch faces now liquid metal is one of those new flashy motion watch faces that's on the new Apple watch but it's also in watch OS 5 but it looks a lot different here they're filling out the display here they put it into like a little circle so it almost feels like a liquid metal moon it's a very big difference it's a shame they didn't fill out the display here and just show you it but if you want to look at what the display on the old Apple watch really looks like edge to edge the photo watch face shows it off you can see it's squared off and you can see the bezels here compared to here where it's a lot larger and curved so it's really about extra screen size so the speaker on the new watch is also louder so let's test that out what's the weather that's Apple watch Series three what's the weather that's a lot better also these watches with watch OS five you can now just raise it right to your face and and just say what you want and not have to say hey Siri good news is the new Apple watches work with all your old bands and all your old chargers so if you already have an Apple watch then you probably know what it's bringing to the table the new Apple watch does not promise better battery life on a daily basis and it doesn't have that radical a design look and what do its Fitness features feel like we're gonna be doing a lot more testing with this so stay tuned for a full Apple watch series for review and a lot more fitness tests here at CNN hey thanks for watching we just got the Apple watch series 4 so stay tuned for a lot more testing and a full review coming up soon on CNN
