Looks like Edition is gone. Stainless Steel was always the prettiest watch though, and having it in gold is even better.
Wrong. Many good watch-specific apps.
Two factor authenticator from Duo, best thing ever. Don't need my phone or a phone call to get into secure systems is just one prime example.

"This is the most advanced iPhone we've ever created." No kidding. The world will end when they open with "Meh, this is not as good as last year's model." 
I am pleased to hear of your interest. I am not a doc. However, I just read an article from 2015 stating that there’s only a 50% correlation between a one lead and 12 lead ECG.
I am very concerned with false positives. My wife had a false positive for pulmonary hypertension. It turned out the test that they used was only reliable if the patient was sick with heart disease to begin with. It made for a month of tension as her mother had pulmonary hypertension and it is a very scary disease.
Thus I am unsure about a watch that may have a high probability of giving a false positive.
Does anyone know what calorie counting app they were showing in the beginning?
As someone who has a family history of heart issues, I'm pretty excited. I wasn't expecting to buy an apple watch soon but that feature alone seems worth it to me. Going to be an expensive week with that and the Xs

Love the updates, but a steep price. $400 for aluminum 40mm? As usual we will get accustomed to paying that much, but I may wait a generation. Excited about these updates, but I imagine next year buying these at a discount. keeping the 3 cellular a bit longer.
not excited about a $100 price hike for the smaller cellular version
I agree. I don't think I'll be getting this upgrade. I am in good health and I get cardiovascular screenings every year. I also get stress tests. I am very active and do workouts that could make this watch think I've fallen (HiiT training, jumping, etc) The last thing I want is my watch to be calling 911 and frightening my family for no reason.
I wonder if the new Series 4 will be a covered HSA expense now with the FDA approved ECG & heart health features?
Now with "I've fallen, and cannot get up!" tech.
Love it, take my money!

Turn off the setting. Besides, it sounds like it will automatically call if you aren't moving, not just if you aren't getting up. I could be mistaken but that was the impression I got.
So if I get the SS version with LTE, can I still use it like a non LTE version? (like my series 0) not intetested in paying extra per month amd also giving up my grandfathered unlimited.
