I just got the Series 4 Apple Watch in gold aluminum as a gift and it 100% looks pink. So pink I awk I just got the Series 4 Apple Watch in gold aluminum as a gift and it 100% looks pink. So pink I awkwardly had to ask my sweet husband if he minded if I returned the rose gold he got me and got regular gold instead.

I’ve been writing about technology for two decades and am always struck by how the sector swings from startling innovation to regular repetitiveness. My areas of specialty are wearable tech, cameras, home entertainment and mobile technology.Over the years I’ve written about gadgets for the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times, the Daily Mail, the Sun, Metro, Stuff, T3, Pocket-lint, Wareable.com and Wired. Right now most of my work appears in the Independent, the Evening Standard and Monocle Magazine. Parenthetically, I also work as an actor, enjoying equally the first Mission Impossible movie, a season at Shakespeare’s Globe and a stint on Hollyoaks.The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer. Apple Watch Series 4 (left) and last year’s Series 3.DimensionsThe new case is bigger than the old, measured according to the height.

Apple Watch Series 3 38mm GPS + Cellular: 38.6 x 33.3 x 11.4mm, 28.7g (aluminum). GPS only: same dimensions, 26.7g (aluminum). Apple Watch Series 4 40mm GPS + Cellular: 39.8 x 34.4 x 10.7mm, 30.1g (aluminum), 39.8g (stainless steel). GPS only: same dimensions, 32.3g (aluminum). Apple Watch Series 3 42mm GPS + Cellular: 42.5 x 36.4 x 11.4mm, 34.9g (aluminum). GPS only: same dimensions, 30.1g (aluminum). Apple Watch Series 4 44mm GPS + Cellular: 44 x 37.8 x 10.7mm, 36.7g (aluminum), 47.9g (stainless steel).

GPS only: same dimensions, 36.7g (aluminum).That’s a slightly noticeable different size when you look at old and new side by side, but when you put the Watch on, it’s the thickness from front to back where you can feel the difference: in both cases the Watch has slimmed down by 0.7mm.The new Watches are unsurprisingly a little heavier, and stainless steel is heavier than aluminum. Series 3 is only available in aluminum case and in Series 4, models with GPS but not cellular are also available in aluminum only.If you want the lightest Watch, you’ll choose the GPS-only 38mm model but, frankly, the weight differences are scarcely noticeable when the Watch is on your wrist and there are more important considerations when choosing, I’d say. The torch shows how the screen has changed between Series 3 (right) and Apple Watch Series 4.Display. Apple Watch Series 3 38mm: 340 x 272 resolution.

Apple Watch Series 4 40mm: 394 x 324 resolution. Apple Watch Series 3 42mm: 390 x 312 resolution. Apple Watch Series 4 44mm: 448 x 368 resolutionApple Watch Series 3 is great-looking with the same pin-sharp display found on earlier models, but Series 4′s display has changed beyond recognition. It’s not just because of the size of the display but the fact that the Series 3 display is rectangular and sits inside a reasonably wide bezel, while the Series 4 has a display which elegantly curves round at the corners, with a much narrower bezel around it.In terms of display, Series 3 looks good, Series 4 is radically better.

It’s worth noticing that the smaller Series 4 display is bigger than the larger Series 3 resolution. It’s one of the reasons the screen is such a striking change on the newest models. Digital Crown on Apple Watch Series 4 (left) next to Series 3, both for GPS + Cellular versions.Digital CrownThe elegant way to interact with the Watch, spinning or pressing the Digital Crown, remains unchanged. But on Series 4, a newly designed crown includes haptic feedback so when you scroll up and down a list, you can feel it click from one element to the next, and even hear it in quiet moments.The GPS + Cellular red dot of Series 3 is also changed on Series 4 to a more discreet red circle. Apple Watch Series 4 with Milanese Loop, all in gold stainless steel finish.Colors and special editionsOn Series 3 and Series 4, the same colors are available in the aluminum finish models, that’s silver, space gray and gold.

But the stainless steel models, only available in the new Series 4, comes in the two colors on offer in previous Watches, silver and the especially spiffy space black. This year, for the first time, those colors are joined by a gold stainless steel which is arguably as classy as the original Apple Watch Edition whose cases were built of real gold.The opulence of the gold stainless steel is one of the reasons I believe Apple has not produced an Edition this year: why would you, when the stainless steel model looks so good?The Nike+ Apple Watch is available in aluminum in Series 3 and Series 4. Size, weight, prices are identical to those without the distinctive Nike strap. The Nike+ models are available in GPS only and GPS + Cellular. Apple Watch Series 4 with a Liquid Metal Watch face.ConnectivityThere are three forms of connectivity on Apple Watch. Two of them are the same on both: the quality of wi-fi which is identical and Bluetooth (version 4.2). But there’s the W2 wireless chip in Series 3, which is superseded by the W3 wireless chip in Series 4, in both GPS only and GPS + Cellular models.This is important: the new signal-friendly design of the back of the Series 4 Watch and the newly designed antennae within mean that Series 4 is markedly better at making and receiving calls.

That’s because of the better signal transparency combined with the improved chip.Connectivity conclusion: Series 4 is a game-changer. Apple Watch Series 4 with a Series 4-only Watch face.PerformanceThe Apple Watch Series 4 features what’s called the S4 dual-core processor. That’s a System in Package (SiP) as Apple calls it, which features a 64-bit dual-core processor and new GPU. Series 3 has the S3 dual-core processor.So what, you say? Apple says it delivers up to twice the speed, so apps launch more quickly and perform faster. In practice, the speed uptick is definitely noticeable and the new Series 4 feels nippier and more responsive.But the truth is that Series 3 is fast, too, and you’ll only feel you’re missing out if you see Series 4 in action.The accelerometer and gyroscope are new on the Series 4, which are part of the reason the new watch can recognize if you’ve taken a fall.

This is a useful extra feature which Series 3 cannot match.The new speaker on the Watch is much louder than before, so you can really hear someone at the other end of a call or on Walkie-Talkie. The microphone is in a new position and seems to work better, too. Though, to be clear, Series 3 still does a good job with both of these.Some performance elements haven’t changed this year: water resistance is the same as before, which Apple calls swimproof.Storage on Series 3 and Series 4 is identical in the GPS + Cellular models – 16GB. That’s also the case on the Series 4 GPS only model. But if you choose GPS only on Series 3, you’re getting less storage: 8GB.Performance conclusion: if budget allows, the increase in speed and performance means you should opt for Series 4 (but Series 3 is no slowcoach).

Apple Watch Series 4 with ECG app, coming soon.ECG and Fall DetectionECG measurement is a keen addition, though it’s not quite here yet. But if you have any heart anxieties, this should be the decider for you. For the rest of us, it’s still kind of amazing to have this capability in your wristwatch. And Series 4 has faster heart rate detection, too.Fall detection is similarly very cool and if you’re buying a Watch for someone over 65, for whom Fall Detection is turned on by default, this might be what swings you.ECG and Fall Detection conclusion: if these are important to you, go for the Series 4. Apple Watch Series 3.Apple Watch Series 3 starts at $279/$309 for GPS only. Add $100 for cellular connectivity, that’s $379/$409.

These are aluminum cases, remember, and Nike+ versions are the same price.Series 4 costs $399/$429 for GPS only, $499/$529 for GPS + Cellular. That’s aluminum, too. Prices apply for Nike+, too.But if you want the elegant stainless steel case and its sapphire crystal instead of Ion-X glass, then prices start at $699/$749, rising according to the strap, so the Watch with a beautiful Milanese Loop, color-matched even if you choose the gold stainless steel finish, costs $799/$849.The only way to spend more is to go for Apple Watch Hermes where prices start at $1,249/$1,299. Oh my, but they are gorgeous, and with beautiful straps. But remember, inside they are the same as the other GPS + Cellular models. Apple Watch Series 4 (left) – bigger than last year’s Series 3 (right).Verdict: Which should you choose?As always with Apple, the new model trounces the older one completely with its speed and power, and in this case with its looks as well.

But Apple always adds a layer of decision-making: many of the coolest new features on Apple Watch Series 4, like automatic workout tracking, are part of the software, and watchOS 5 works as well on Series 3 as it does on Series 4.The design of Series 4 is, for me, enough to clinch the deal, but if your pocket would prefer Series 3, you needn’t be disappointed, especially if you choose the GPS + Cellular version which was Series 3′s breakthrough addition this time last year.If you enjoyed this story, you might also like these:Follow me on Twitter.
