Apple Watch Series 4 Aluminium 44mm Review

Make no mistake; this groundbreaking gadget lives up to the hype with a number of resourceful improvements including a larger screen, upgraded processing power and advanced health sensors. Bordering on the periphery of fulfilling Apple's vision of a truly indispensable device, our refurbished Apple Watch Series 4 is a dream come true.

The fourth generation of this popular wearable brings a functional and productive update to the whole design of the Apple watch. Whether it's tracking your run without having to take your phone with you or messaging one of your contacts to make plans, this second hand offering provides an abundance of innovative features on a system twice as fast as its predecessor. Whether you're a fitness fanatic or someone in need of health tracking for medical reasons, a refurbished Apple Watch could make a real difference to your life.

30% larger screen

From a distance, the size enhancement may not appear significant, but the rounded corners offer greater visibility and the screen space is fully utilised by going extremely close to the edges. Also available in a 40mm variant, the Series 4 is a joy to use as it gives you more useful information and greater legibility of data, fonts and app icons. With all these easily readable shortcuts at your fingertips, this product is practical for individuals that want to check their cadence during the midst of a workout.

Louder onboard speaker

Everything is clearer - conversations over the phone, exchanges with Siri, FaceTime calls, and so on. In other words, Apple has acknowledged the importance of effective speakers by tuning the speakers to improve the audio quality, as well as boosting the volume by 50 per cent. The microphone has also been relocated to the opposite side to help minimise echoing during phone calls. The Walkie-Talkie app is another new feature that makes for a fun and quick way to converse with friends. Just remember that for all of these interactions, you'll need to be connected to WiFi.

Excellent battery life

Despite enlarging its screen size, the Series 4 still retains superb durability with Apple noting that the device should achieve 18 hours of use per charge, making it reliable for all-day use. The screen manages power efficiently because it can dynamically adjust refresh rates, switching from 60Hz for moving images or animations to 30Hz for static ones.

In many cases, this smartwatch will comfortably exceed the '18 hour' target, whilst Apple states it can last up to six hours of continuous outdoor activity tracking - two more than the Series 3. London Marathon anyone?

ECG app for heart health

Apple has added electrodes into the device which enables users to take an electrocardiogram (ECG) and compile data which could indicate abnormalities or any underlying health issues. Simply hold your finger on the digital crown for 30 seconds, and the watch will take and save readings as a PDF file for you to show your doctor. You're even able to write notes to contextualize what was happening at the same time.

Aesthetically-pleasing and simple to operate, this aluminium-bodied Apple Watch Series 4 is available in three different colours with zippy performance and many new features that enable exceptional connectivity and advanced health monitoring. Keep your family and friends close, and your refurbished smartwatch even closer.
