This watch kills all other watches, enough said!

I’m just pumped after seeing the girl in the opening video say “Hey Siri” into her AirPods... HANDS FREE. New AirPods today!

 

[Sackofnickels]

Ugh.. its always the same battery life -_-

Thats a big concern for me. I wear my Garmin for two weeks before needing a charge. That includes tracking my workouts and bike rides as well. I want to get an iWatch but I don't want to have charge it all the time.

How long will it last if I do a 2 hour mountain bike ride?

Apple Watch 4: "The same 18-hour battery life our customers ENJOY!"

The audience:

(were we expecting battery life to go down dramatically or something? When will apple EVER step up battery efficiency ughhhhh.. and why are people cheering that)

 

[Dorje Sylas]

I'll give Apple this, if it actually functions as pitched it really is "innovative".

Now if it didn't require an iPhone I'd possibly consider it for my dad... if he didn't hate wearing watches.

 

[ruger]

Brand new finish...gold stainless

 

[keysofanxiety]

Every time Jeff smiles, a puppy curls up and starts whimpering.

Jony's voice is so annoying!

it’s a robot

 

[DevNull0]

Do the sycophants need to clap every thirty seconds?

Apple is watching everyone in the theatre. If you don't clap every 30 seconds, they'll make note of it and not give you invites in the future.

 

[D.T.]

There you go, for the people concerned: Series 4 watches are backwards band compatible.

 

[rafark]

Wonder how much they paid the American Heart Association

 

[Chris The Bipolarbear]

over half an hour and still on watch these events are getting rather tedious wish they just say were introducing product a , b, c etc

 

[neander]

Gold stainless looks tacky..

 

[DeepIn2U]

This is technology done right. When technology can save your life it is really valuable. Think of all the elderly who may fall or with heart conditions... this can save their life. This is way more important than the iPhone to me.

Agreed!!

I’ve been calling for this for years! Based off the old necklace senors sold on late night TV.

 

[Nozuka]

The watch definitely looks less "fat" now. i like.

 

[Gix1k]

Get out! It’s butter

But I love butter

 

[macduke]

Backwards compatible bands! Told you guys.

 

[OllyW]

Is the 50m water resistance new?

 

[Rogifan]

That gold stainless looks hot. Wonder how expensive it will be.

All current bands will work with the new watches.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Yes Nike+ is back!!
Reflective yarn but stainless or aluminum which dents easier?

 

[fel10]

This crowd is annoying

 

[Naraxus]

I miss Stevenotes....

 

[Val-kyrie]

Why are you so uncomfortable Jeff? Jeez... ECG is really nice, I could need that myself as I struggle with sudden drops in heart rates which often can cause me to faint so it's nice if the watch could warn me before I suddenly hit the floor face first...

Will the ECG function do more than record readings? Alerts? Call for medical help?

I'm not sure this will provide enough, if any, notice to prevent acute issues as they happen.

 

[44267547]

Is the 50m water resistance new?

No, that was also available for the Series 3 And Series 2 Apple Watch as a standard. Series 1 is IPX7 splash resistance rated.

 

[WinterWolf90]

Looks like I will get a new watch, upgrade from my series 0, won't get a stainless one this time though.
