Apple Watch Series 4
This review primarily covers the two stainless steel Apple Watch Series 4 models in Stainless Steel (Silver), as well as the Space Black Stainless Steel model. I wear both as they are so similar but different.
I don't like to write reviews about products until I have had a chance to really use and thoroughly understand them, which is not the case. Apple Watch Series 4 has taken the Apple Watch from a fun toy to a serious tool watch! Especially with the increased sizes, which add significant ease of operation, visibility and emersion. There is something very right about the new form-factor. Also, the fact Apple went out of its way to make certain all Series 1, 2 and 3 band and straps are compatible is a huge deal! Being a bigger guy, I always thought the 42mm was too dainty. The 44mm is much more masculine. And MUCH easier to read and touch.

In the photo below we see the Space Black Stainless Steel Apple Watch Series 4 on an Apple 44MM Cape Cod Blue Loop Strap. I like the Space Black Stainless Steel Apple watch a lot, but I am not crazy about the color or shade of black. In my mind its way too light. To my I would think it is more of a dark grey than it is a black. My Series 2 Apple watch had a much darker black color, which I much prefer. In the future I will do a side by side comparison of the two different shades of black to perfectly illustrate this point.
In the photo below we the 44MM Space Black Apple Watch 4 and a leather strap.
The photo below shows the same none OEM butterscotch leather sport strap as pictured above. This is an unusual strap as its clousure system is very similar to a classic Apple Sport Band.
In the photo below we see the 44mm Indigo Sport Loop.
This review is far from done, and as time permits I will update it. Once I feel this story is done, I will remove this notice.
I really like the new all digital infograph Modular face which is exclusive to the Series 4 Apple Watch, but I am not a big fan of the new analog version of the face.
In my opinion, Apple Watch needs to open up watch-faces to third-party developers. In other words, once people can design their own dials for Apple watch, it will be awesome! Will Apple ever allow this? It's hard to say, but I imagine at some point in the future it will be inevitable.
I think Apple should come out with a 46MM Apple watch, which would make it even easier to see and use. Also, I think it is very likely in the future we will see the form factor evolve into a square version—meaning instead of being a tall triangle it will be perfectly square, which will make it considerably wider. Doing so will allow for a much more immersive experience I realize this might sound strange, but I would see the benefits of having a model that is wider than it is taller, which would make it much more like wearing a tiny iPhone on your wrist. One thing for sure is that it would allow you to watch movies on your Apple watch and have it look great.
