Apple Watch Series 4 (2018)

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 with a seriously rich feature list

Larger display Lightweight design Louder speaker

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...

Sleek redesign ; Huge, gorgeous screen ; Novel health features

Significantly more expensive than Series 3 ; No always-on display option

The Apple Watch Series 4 does so much more and so much better than other wearables that it’s a no-brainer if you’re after a Smartwatch
