Hands on: 44mm Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4
Got my 44mm AW4 today. Physically, the watch feels about the same size as my AW3 42mm, though it's obviously bigger if I really look at it. I have a big wrist, and I think the increased WxH gets offset by being flatter (like Gruber said in his review).
That said, the face seems disproportionately, absolutely huge. It's gorgeous, of course, but I'm seriously considering dropping down to the 40mm size (major drawback there being all my straps would no longer fit.) My old customized Modular watch face actually seems a little adrift on the bigger display, with the complication placements slightly 'off.' I'm trying out the Infograph face for a while, with a couple complications turned off: it seems better 'tuned' for the real estate than my old one. (Face font sizes do not seem affected by the 'Font Size' Settings.)
That aside: wow so far. Faster all over, from detecting heart rate to Airplay & Siri response, to search results, etc. Tomorrow I'll swim with it. Can't wait to try out the ECG/Afib features (which I didn't know were 'coming-later-this-year' features). -
Editorial: Apple note sends media pundits into a fit of histrionic gibberish
Kudos, ovations, back-slaps, toasts, twirly dancing and hee-haws for another brilliant takedown of the Apple-doom pundit puppetry!!
And: thanks, as always. That I'm aware of, it's just you, Gruber and the Macalope, consistently offering up hard-edged facts, cold reason and rationally-observed market reality against this lazy assemblage of smug 'experts' who haven't had an original thought about Apple in the last 25 years. Some of this recent stuff IMO has been libel- and slander-worthy (esp the Bloomberg China-chip crap), but I doubt Apple will ever dignify it by suing (maybe, though!). I suppose tho that the 90-95% of industry profits that they stuff in the bank every quarter is, really, the loudest, and bestest, last word. -
