- Hey everybody.
-
This is the Apple Watch Series 4.
-
What you're looking
-
at here is the new 44 millimeter version,
-
so it's a little bit bigger.
-
I've got it compared
-
to my old Apple Watch here,
-
so you can see that the screen is a little bit bigger.
-
But also, more importantly,
-
the screen goes closer to the edge.
-
It's 30% bigger than it was before.
-
Now, if this larger size isn't for you,
-
it is also available in this smaller 40 millimeter version.
-
So there you go.
-
Those are the two sizes there.
-
Now things that are new here
-
besides the larger edge-to-edge screen is
-
that the new larger screen allows you to do more things.
-
So you can see that you can fit just a ton
-
of complications on this thing.
-
And they all can do stuff.
-
So if I tap on music here.
-
Go through music.
-
And so you'll see, I'm scrolling on this digital crown.
-
And the digital crown, this little wheel here,
-
has been updated.
-
And it has a haptic feedback to it now.
-
You can kind of feel it when you scroll it around.
-
There's just a little bit of a vibration there,
-
which is pretty fascinating.
-
It has a stainless steel casing and other things
-
that are different, they've moved the microphone over
-
to this side because they've moved the speakers
-
over here and made them much, much louder.
-
So it's more convenient for making calls.
-
But of course the biggest deal
-
with the Apple Watch are health features.
-
And there are a bunch of new health features here.
-
One of them, for example,
-
is they can detect an irregular heartbeat.
-
They can also tell you if your heartbeat is too low.
-
And all new here, and the FDA has approved, an ECG.
-
And so, there's sensors around the ring
-
of the heart rate monitor and then also
-
on the digital crown here.
-
And so when you're wearing it, you should be able
-
to just hold your finger on there.
-
It'll read the sensor here and underneath.
-
And you'll be able to get an ECG.
-
Unfortunately that's not running on these models yet.
-
Now there are, of course, new watch faces.
-
So you can see these crazy complication-filled watch faces.
-
But if we wanted to take a look at what else we got here,
-
there's these cool vapor watch faces.
-
So this shows you how cool the screen looks.
-
We could even go, here's the fire.
-
It is just super fire.
-
Another thing that's new is fall detection.
-
So if it detects that you fall down
-
because you flailed your arms around,
-
it is able to say hey, it looks like you've fallen.
-
Do you want us to call emergency services?
-
And if you do, it'll do.
-
And if you don't answer at all, it'll wait a beat
-
and then it will call emergency services for you.
-
Which is a pretty nice feature.
-
It comes in silver, gold, space gray.
-
They're aluminum.
-
And this finish here is the brand-new gold finish.
-
Pre-orders start on Friday and they ship on the 21st.
-
The smaller one, the standard one, it costs 399 with GPS.
-
And if you want, you could spend 499 and get an LTE.
-
Hey everybody, thanks so much for watching.
-
This has been a crazy, packed hands-on event.
-
We're gonna have way more coverage of all of the iPhone news
-
and all of the Apple Watch news.
-
So keep it locked to The Verge.
