Apple Watch Series 4 is the first significant redesign of the Apple Watch since its conception, and it provides a 30% larger display in just a slightly-wider package. Worthy of note, the Apple Watch Series 4 is 0.7 mm thinner than its predecessor, but contains heaps of new technology.
In our opinion, this is a significant leap from the previous generation. That said, if you were thinking about upgrading, then go for it!
