Series 4 Silver Aluminum with Black Sport Loop Band and watchOS 6 Beta 1
 
Upgraded from a Space Grey 42mm Alu S3, to this Gold Stainless Steel 44mm S4.

  • The size (width and length) difference is almost imperceptible on the wrist coming from a 42mm, but the S4 feels noticeably lower profile despite the tiny actual difference in height.
  • I can't seem to get along with the sport bands at all (pinching arm hairs when properly tightened!), so my old black sport loop is back in use.
  • The larger screen is very nice, which I hope will be useful as sometimes when running I couldn't easily read the workout app details.
  • Seems to be taking a longer time to charge compared to my old S3. I wonder what the battery capacity difference is...? [edit: 44mm actually lower at 1.12 Wh vs the 42mm at 1.34 Wh !]
  • Sadly I won't be using the cellular access, as my cellphone service provider here in the UK doesn't support it (few do, only EE and Vodafone which I don't plan on switching to just for this).
