- The Apple Watch Series 4 practical review! It has proved to be the most useful piece of tech that I have! Watch OS5 & the little hardware improvements made all the difference from last year to catch my interest to keep using it. Would make an AWESOME Christmas present!

This is the nicest Apple Watch Review I‘ve seen so far
You‘re not pretending to use it on a daily basis, you really use it
I like that
One of the most systematic, articulate, comprehensive and honest tech reviewer...Good job as usual Erica
This is the best Apple Watch review I’ve seen yet. Please review the Apple Watch series 5.
I always thought that having a replication of my phone on my wrist would be useless, but I recently got the watch and I am in love with it. It’s convenient when I’m working with headphones on and I can’t hear the notification, but I can still feel the vibration on my wrist. I also use it a lot for alarm and reminders. Now I’m forever tied to apple 😂
You know that Android watches do that, more and better, right? You don't need to be tied to anything. One more thing, AOD avoid the need to wake your phone up for notifications.
Julen Rojo No one cares about Android smart watches. Go away virgin.
@@julenrojo4624 Android watches don't do anything better than the Apple Watch. You can argue they look better but that's subjective anyway.
@@Schweby oh come on..aint NO WAY apple watch looks better than: huawei watch, tagheuer, movado connect, skagen falster and many others (the specific of which one you find better depends on what kind of watch you like: simple and understated, sporty look, diver watch look etc). But AINT NO WAY apple watch looks better than ALL OF THOSE, idc what kind of watch you prefer.
@@TjPhysicist Tagheuer do look good.
Well done! An honest review that shows how the Apple Watch solves real world issues.
The “fall detect” sold me. Am a solo 68 yr old... & by accident...found out the feature works real well. The other exercise/ workout apps go unused... With NOT every ‘complication’ available on each face, I load up faces w/ travel, weather, health apps et., so change often... never bored with 1 face.
I started using the Timer app A LOT ever since I got my series 3. It's so amazing. I often go into conversations with a set timer (since it's so fast and convenient) - for example 30min. It's awesome how only you notice the vibration and no one else got a clue you just timed a conversation to get away after a certain time without being inconsodireate.
letting the tea brew? 3 or 5min timer is set in literally 5 seconds g
I have the series 6 in stainless steel and I agree completely with what you said about notifications. I wanted a really nice watch that HAPPENS to be able to connect me to my phone. Notifications are all turned off. Every single one. If I want to see if I have missed messages , I just pull the notification shade down. I love that it tracks my outdoor walks and workouts seamlessly without me having to tap a hundred things first. It’s literally ONE button press.
The best review I've seen of the Apple Watch Series 4 so far.
U should go see Detroit Borgs review
If u are prone to fall that much, then don’t leave home without that watch
I didnt know women knew about technology. I thought they only cared about Ariana Grande and thigh highs
@@Aj-me8mo believe me they are nothing close to that.
Little Bendy I know bro I was just trolling
This is easily the best and the most comprehensive review I’ve seen
Sold my series 3...without an Apple Watch for 6 weeks was HELL before my series 4 arrived. Didn’t realize how much I depend on my “second little brain”!!
Great video!!
Your reviews are getting better, they make me crave the products.
Damn... I was watching with headphones on and that "CALL MOM" at 3:20 scared the shit out of me! hahaha
Just bought the series 4 cellular for my wife. Amazing product. Sometimes she goes to the gym etc and doesnt like taking the phone with her, this will let her leave it behind while still having full communication capabilities. It's also a nice security backup, so if your phone gets lost/stolen/broken, you're not screwed.
hold down the ping button and it makes the phone flash too
Wow, awesome!
Kriven apple shill
Holy crap I never knew this. Great tip! :D
I always wondered why ping didn't flash the screen for when my phone gets lost under the couch
Erica Griffin Can you make a video on how to save the battery life on the watch? For people who are out most of the day.
Just like many people I also got the watch about 5 months ago and I cannot believe how useful it has been. I checked my screen time and ever since I've had the watch I only use the phone for like 3 hours average a day since I don't have social media, therefore my watch alerts me for the things that really matter. I am really excited to continuing using it, and I forgot to mention I have been doing my activity rings every day and its addicting hahaha can't stop now. I hope you all are just as excited as I am to wear it.
Thank you for the video. It’s by far the most detailed informative review hands down! Finally upgraded to the series 4!
The best review so far, straight to the point
Just the best Apple Watch 4 review! So well done, Thank You!
Omg Erika I just learnt so much more about my Apple Watch ⌚️ by watching this. Best review EVER. Just love your reviews on apple products. Thank you.
I'm trying to save some money for the apple watch series 4 is it worth the money?
Habiba' s YT I just got an Apple Watch 4 less than a week ago and I say go for it. I personally don’t have the cellular watch because I generally have my phone on me but the times I don’t, it’s extremely helpful. Also the price is lower than the 5 that has nearly the same features.
Exceptional, detailed, and well-informed review. Love it:) Keep up the great work Erica😀
Agree with your points. I had a Series 2 and just upgraded to the Series 4. I have the 44mm and it is so useful. Side note: what camera are you using to film your video? Great quality! Your videos are one of the three YTers that I always watch first.
As AAA as as
This is the first video that sold me. I’ve watched other “reviews” & “why you should get an Apple Watch” videos... but most of them were set on “it’s great for when your in a business meeting & can’t access your phone.” Because of your reasonings, I bought the series 4 today
When I was using Samsung. I had their watch. I have been wearing a smart watch for more than 5 years. I can’t wear a regular watch anymore.
I have been on Apple 3 yrs now. Had the Series 2, 3 and now have the series 4 watch. I am a small woman and have the smaller face. The larger is just too big for me. I really like the Series 4 and the watch is a great addition. I have the cellular because I can leave my phone at home if I choose. Apple is far ahead of others on what the watch will do. I can’t be without it.
Judi Bechhoefer Great stuff!!
Just got the 4 44mm yesterday stainless steel
Love it!
I have an Apple Watch, Ipad, MacBook, & iPhone now.
I am a small framed female and I have the 44mm go BIG or go home 🏡
Mermaid Soul Hahah, I love your comment.
Roxana Thank ya berry much 😉
My husband got me the 44mm, love the screen size but does feel bulky.
Is your wrist size 6 inches?
Mike Tyson. No but I like BIG so 🤷🏻♀️
Thank u so much for this video. Been thinking about getting one
Noe Do.It. Love mine
Waiting to hear from Amazon that I can go collect my Apple 4 watch today. My first Apple Watch, cant wait...
Its so awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
I traded in my Series 2 for the Series 4. The thinness really made a huge difference for me. The watch feels more comfortable to wear, and the screen is so much more roomy, great to look at
My favorite Apple product as well.
Mine too. But to be fair it is not that hard to rank the apple watch at place 1 with the current productline of apple :/
This is by far the BEST watch review on RUclips. 👍🏼
You can't send SMS if your iphone is off? You're the first reviewer I've come across to mention this!
This was the best review I've seen yet. I'm on day 2 with my 40mm series 4, and I was constantly pausing your video to look over things on the Watch you mentioned. Thanks.
Jachin Rivers did you stick to your 40 mm size?
I’m getting the Apple Watch s4 next week ❤️😍
Not worth it if you are not from the USA ecg not available yet
Michel Castonguay actually I’m not from USA, I’m kinda confused now should I buy it or not in your opinion ☺️☺️
If you have a s3 no but any other Apple Watch YES
Michel Castonguay i have the series 4 and it’s worth it! Just get a good bumper case for it.
i’m getting one in nyc
Love your enthusiasm and detailed info about the watch. I just upgraded to a series 4 from a series 3 because of fall detection and I love it. I love closing my activity rings.
Awesome video, especially from a women’s perspective. Coming from a Series 2 the 4 is a huge upgrade. I would say i use it 80% more often during the day, the speed alone and just the new hardware with the big screen.
matt donlan hell yea man I just got my first Apple Watch, series 4 and it’s becoming more and more part of my day!! Apple Pay and reminders are awesome
I am so glad that i found your tube, because, not only it was a good, clear, straight to the point ( just enough info) review. It was not bloody ANNOYING! like the other review tubers. Going on and on and on. Thanks again, I'll subscribe.
I have the series 3 and honestly it’s the gadget I never knew I needed.
same here lol, what watch face is your favorite?
Eden B. Call me simple but I like the Siri one the best. It has the most “complications” of all the faces.
Eric V is that so ? What about the modular face ?
Eden B. Modular is good too, but the Siri one is proactive which is helpful
I have the series 3, and I totally recommend if pi don’t wanna spend a extra $100. There isn’t many differences between the series 3 and the 4 besides the bigger size and ECG but it really isn’t that big of a difference.
Nice review! I recently ordered a Series 4 that was on back order and thought that since my Series 3 was in really great condition and I wanted to sell it, that I would stop wearing the 3 to make sure nothing happened to it before my new one came in. I’ve been LOST without it. All guilt for ordering the 4 is gone. Ha! And it came this weekend! I love it.
Thanks! I just got the series 4 and this helped a lot. I’m not brave enough to leave without my phone yet. Baby steps...
This was an amazing review. Thank you for this. RUclips needs more “human reviews”. Not reviews fueled by a fake persona who seem to care more about subs and views than a true reviewing of the item within. Once again, thank you 🙏!!
That's awesome that you have Hayley Westenra! Pure is my favorite album and has been for many many years!
I held off forever on buying one, because I thought it wouldn’t be useful or practical for me....until the series 4. LOVE IT!
wow you really sold me... i’ll be purchasing one 👀
Oh it’s worth it completely !
Best review I've seen hands down.
I would like a comparison with the galaxy watch and see which one is more useful if that's possible.
I wrote this comment earlier but I poste it here. This is my opinion:
I still wish there would be an smartwatch with a classic premium design and good controlls like the galaxy watch, a good os with room for third party apps and endless possibilities like wear os by google and the amazing support of first party apps and features like on the apple watch.
This would be the best smartwatch. But sadly, all these amazing features are separated on three devices / operating systems :/
I am currently owning a galaxy watch 46m with a stainless steel mesh band. It is the best looking smartatch so far (if you are not into a gimicky geek tech look that almost all smartwatches offer). However, the software support is just bad. Tizen OS from Samsung is amazingly good, fast and everything works seamlessly. But there are really not many third party apps and those who are aviable in the galaxy store are just bad. Sure, bad apps are a problem of every smartwatch but because TizenOS has so less apps, it becomes even harder to find the good ones.
By far the best review of the Apple Watch ever!!! I’m sold!!!!
Nur Dini Van Haeren mine comes tomorrow
Love this review! I've watched probably 10 reviews of Apple watches, and this is the first one that's really spoken to my priorities. I am an active young woman who also has some health considerations to keep an eye on, and this review hit on all of that. It's amazing to see all of the men's reviews where they say they don't use/understand the value of the cellular function. As a woman who goes running alone every day, often on trails, I know for a fact that if I get an Apple Watch I will get the cellular version. Thank you for a review that takes into account things like the fact that dresses usually don't have pockets, and safety is a concern when we go running alone.
ccyn042 hey I think it’s great for woman to have cellular function, I would even say there is no reason not to have cellular function. So good for you! I want the woman in my life to all have Apple Watch with cellular. I’m a guy, guys are dumb. You keep running and staying safe. Cheers
If you're ever going running alone I would suggest not wearing your engagement ring ( as seen in this video )
William Huan why? im trying to figure out why and can’t. can you explain?
ouchMyFriend You wouldn’t want to wear your engagement ring ( or any jewellery for that matter ) during outdoor workouts mainly for practical reasons:
1. You wouldn’t want to attract unwanted attention from would-be thieves. ( maybe it’s more dangerous in Malaysia compared to the US or UK. But still, why tempt evil? )
2. You wouldn’t want to tarnish the precious metal with excess sweat.
3. ( most importantly ) you wouldn’t want to lose it while doing some vigorous moves ( like how a friend of mine almost lost her ring after a round of aerobic exercises )
I appreciate your video informing me of the watch 'S capability, but I'm struggling to find out how to access, set up and use these features that vids like yours lists. Apple's manual is nearly pointless....not a manual at all. Any suggestions for learning how to utilize these features you list?
Mines coming in the mail today😱 so excited❤️
Awesome video and review! I've been watching reviews on the series 4 since it came out but this is by far the best in depth and detailed video I've seen even got to know more stuff I didn't even hear anyone else talk about. Definitely subscribing and liking!!
Just ordered mine through my companies health and wellness program. $56 for a series 4 Apple Watch is pretty good! Also, everyone complaining about the cost of the watch...don't buy it! Why do you care how other people spend their money?? LOL
Honestly the price is well worth it. I mean if you’re going to pay $500 for a watch that JUST tells time, it’s not going to be worth anything when you got to sell it, unlike the Apple Watch which has so many features and will maintain most of its value when you go to sell it.
South Coast Tackle & Outdoors My series 4 was only $429!! Least expensive watch I’ve ever bought by at least half
Just upgraded from a series 3, 42mm (ONLY because I bumped it and cracked the screen down the middle). Purchased the same night. I love it. Not a huge improvement, but just enough. Anyway, great video ma’am. Awesome review of practical use. Wasn’t convinced on upgrading to the series 5. Haven’t worn my Invicta watches since owning an Apple Watch. What a shocker. Just can’t seem to justify wearing a watch that only tells time...
Excellent content for an A++ video. Thanks Erica. Same use as yours of my Series 4 😉
A year later, still a good watch or get the 5?
SurDrums well just got gold ss series 4 and I love it! I don't really care for always on display feature.
Daniella Steel great! Thanks for the response 😁
I really miss having the stainless model. But the price was just jacked up too much this round.
Josh Morris personally waiting for next year when the series 5 comes out to get a stainless series 4. Aluminum just doesn't cut it for me. Got a like-new stainless 3 for $280 so it shows you how much the prices drop on these a year later
couldnt agree more!
The killer is at Trade in, you get $25 more for the stainless.
I've had the series 3 stainless steel and now the aluminum 4. Personally like the aluminum one better because of the color and its lighter on the wrist. @@daviddaaannggg
Just picked up a series 4 Apple Watch. Love it as well as my iPhone 11 Pro Max
Series 1 still going strong 💪
Great review. I got a Nike+ 44 with noticeable light/display inconsistencies. Took it back. Had previous AW4 with no issues. Currently using Garmin until I can get more days out of AW4.. but an amazing device.
I don't have friends rich enough to have an Apple Watch 😂😂😂😂😂. In all seriousness, I've been wanting to get the Apple Watch since the Series 3 but the lack of Apple Pay support in my country is the only thing holding me back.
I can understand that. Apple pay is probably my favorit watch/ios feature. I haven't used my "physical" plastic credit card for at least two months. It's just one less thing I have to bring with me
Got the series 3 42 mm it's better value for your money
@@Brian-jv8iy I think it really depends. For me the bigger screens make the difference. I love the 44mm!
Kenneth Brodersen I’ve been wanting to use Apple Pay but I can never tell which stores actually support it (and I don’t wanna be “that guy” trying to get the tech to work)
@@Spaceman2484 I think that might be a us problem. Here in Denmark we have had contactless credit cards for years so every single store already have a terminal supporting apple pay. All we needed here was the banks deciding to support it.
Great video full of information that people need. As a visually impaired person I find this watch a lifesaver, I do not have to take my phone out of my pocket when I’m in areas that I am not familiar with the haptic feedback on the Watch gives me directions via taps on my wrist what direction of travel I need to go in. I am also able to answer phone calls sent text messages and read emails without reaching for my phone. Hopefully you will do a review of the updated Watch iOS 5.1point To keep up the good work.
"Women think about this stuff" - Yes, we sure do.
I’m sorry you even have to :(
rrobertt13 piece of shit? Is it bad for a person to sympathize for another human being? I don’t get what he did wrong. Please explain
@rrobertt13 wow, just wow. What happened to you as a kid to shut down any sympathy for another person? How could he possibly say that he is sorry for something he probably never contributed to without looking like a piece of shit in your eyes? I personally think he said it perfectly.
Pack heat.
rrobertt13 trying to get pussy? This is the internet! How the hell is that supposed to help him get laid?! Grow up.
I have the 44mm stainless steel and its the best apple product I have bought ..and like you I use it everyday
What color do you have. Do you see any scratches on it. I’ve been debating getting silver but every video I see shows the little scratches are more visible.
I have the gold stainless steal no scratches it’s worth buying but it is very expensive in my country
I just switched from the 38 to 44 and love the bigger screen. What I don’t love is the lack of responsiveness and dead spots on the face, such as where the Send button in the Message App. Any tips to fix this?
One of the best Apple Watch reviews out there. Thanks!
awesome having another female tech youtuber to watch! keep up the good work :)
WELL DONE ERICA! Quite a detailed review and rather interesting. I’d probably buy the iwatch again after watching this ❤️
The best tech of the year in my opinion👍🏻
Hate iPhone. Tried it and it's so boring, and very restrictive in customizing. I like the watch features though. Anything like that on an Android watch, Erica?
the note 9 is shit
@@vic77789 Galaxy watch or even the Gear S3. The Gear S3 has aged incredibly well in my experience, it's still comparable to the Galaxy Watch
@Kwarkool the Note 9 Spen. The best quality and value compared to price. Etc. Etc. Etc. But you really dont need to introduce new things to be the best, Apple fans have been arguing that for over a decade now ;)
@Kwarkool and what are you doing? Standing to one side, plugging your ears, and ignoring any technical facts of the matter
Thanks for commenting on the activity app and things. Because of all that’s happened, I’m now considering an Apple Watch series 5 (I didn’t see that one on your RUclips page).
Finally, you address the uneven brightness on the video. Anyway, happy holiday.
Interesting video, and I really appreciate the fact you mentioned a customer interested in the Hermès face would need to pay more just to get to use it- are there ANY other benefits from it besides the face?
I have a seris 4 Apple watch in space gray with data. I use it every day if I'm out doing stuff. I like it myself.
Nevermind, I should have waited for the end of the video! Lol. Very cool video.
How did you get that watch face....please tell me that’s not because you got the most expensive one...I wish I could get that on my series 4
It's the $1,000 Hermes watch only
Most helpful Apple Watch review I’ve seen yet!
We need more videos young lady keep em coming
This is a perfect video to show to your parents if you want a Apple Watch and they say it's useless.
Hopefully I get one in a few weeks on my birthday😄
Mr Owie GG my thoughts exactly
You have very nice voice. Great review!
I’ve been using my Series 3 for a year and so far It’s the best tech I’ve ever used next to the Airpods.
I just got this watch, I love your HERMÉS version
Ok I’m sold! Ima be getting one soon. Just debating if with cellular or not. 👍🏼
You know I would get the 44 but the 44 is literally the size of my wrist a little bigger then my wrist
Good video. I love my series 4, much better then any smart watch/fitness tracker I’ve ever had, even my fenix 5.
Awesome video as always.
This sounds kind of silly, but I am almost blind and love my apple watch. It has some awesome accessibility features (screen reader and zoom) so I can get notifications/meeting reminders read aloud throughout the day. I also really enjoy Apple Pay.
The biggest issue I have? Siri. She is unreliable and is dumb as dirt... Wish we had a better assistant on the watch but nothing is perfect:-)
Send detailed feedback to Apple on what you would like see improved, they really do read the feedback comments and take it into consideration.
Such an informative video thank you! I've been thinking about purchasing for a while and after watching this i've just ordered the 40mm in rose gold and pink sand sports band. Can't wait!!
Great product for retired folks living alone! Lol
“It is my constant companion” - So Erica is a retired person living alone...damn you failed before you even thought of your joke.
Great if they dont forget to charge daily. My 76 yr old dad would either too lazy or simply forgot to charge
Best apple watch video! I was thinking of getting one for Christmas ... Didn't really see the need, just didn't get the whole smart watch thing... but it has some really great features... Thanks Erica...
i got my girl the watch series 4 yesterday :) she loved it . .she was going to buy a series 1 for 100$ so i surprised her with this one 44 mm :-) . .and i got galaxy watch cuz i have galaxy note 9 :-)
Best apple watch 4 review on RUclips
Between this and Rene Richie’s video, there’s definitely high praise for this tech.
Ho erica,
How does you review holding up? Im considering the series 5 and want to know if you are still satisfied
Could you please share your iPhone wallpaper with us?
You mentioned a great experiment: leaving your iPhone at home and going mobile with your Apple Watch. That would be a great topic for discussion! I’m considering trying it out for a week
I just picked up the series 4 and this thing is amazing I love it so much.
Russell Jennings me too man about 5 days ago it’s great !!!
Joshua Rutter hell yeah now we watching old videos lol
as a person who also take thyroid for my hyperthyroidism. didnt know it was useful for that. EKG ECG is still not available in UK but hoping for it sometime next year. apple watch is my 1st smartwatch and just love it. small sleak and easy to use.. For me, use it to responde quick to texts and mostly read emails. Also just check on sports scores via ESPN and also citymapper routing. might need to invest in cellur version once my provider is onboard
11:46 so many emails on your phone😂
One of best aw4 reviews. Had some great note 8 reviews for me in the past. Should tune in more.
Got one for Christmas it’s really nuce
Ava Louise really !! I want one bad too everyday am like come on come on !
