The reason I skipped Series 3 was because I knew Series 4 was going to be a design change and there were rumors of a big screen coming down the pipe. Glad I held out. If I had to do it all over again though, I'd have skipped Series 0, bought a cheaper Series 1, and then got the 44MM SS Series 4 that I have coming in a couple weeks and use that for 3-4 years. I think from here on out I'm only going to upgrade when there are bigger changes such as radical new health sensors that would be useful to me (such as blood pressure since I have elevated levels or glucose monitoring because diabetes runs in part of my family) or form factor changes (such as offering a bigger 48mm max version, or moving on from the 2.5D glass and pushing the bezel to the actual edges on a redesigned thinner case, etc).
 
I own a series 3 and I thought some of the health stuff was cool for the 4, but overall I’m just not feeling it this year and see no true reason to upgrade? What say you?
I just got my S3 last year so I don't know.. I want to know how much louder the speaker is on the watch before I decide..

I Actually really look forward to this. Especially in louder environments, the louder speaker will be nice to hear the chime, ringer, ec, even though it does have the haptic alert. I always thought this speaker was a little too quiet with a first GEN and Series 2 Apple Watch.

Has anyone did a review yet on how loud the speaker is on the watch?

There is a general reveiw for the Apple Watch, but I have not heard anyone mention the speaker. I’m sure that will be covered here shortly in the next 24 hours once Apple Watch owners in Australia also have their hands on theirs first.
 
I use my series 3 a lot with GPS on so if reception is noticeably better on the 4 I’ll probably upgrade....
