Apple Watch Series 4

[joelhaw]

I am looking at getting the Aluminium, 44mm iwatch. But in a dilemma whether to get GPS or with LTE as well, I am with M1, unsure for now if they will activate e-SIM in the very near future. Any suggestions for those who falls into this group?

The shape of new series 4 looks like fitbit versa

Went to Nubox to have a look at S4 and I have to say it does indeed look like Fitbit Versa.

Just bought my S3 LTE in gold 2 months ago after my S2 Nike+ died on me. Wanted to get the S4 gold aluminium till I saw the SS gold, was blown away by how chio it is. No stock in Nubox, so I immediately went to Apple Store Online and ordered one. The wait is an agonising 3 to 4 weeks!!

BTW, I've been using Apple Watch since it was launched, and have used both the stainless steel and aluminium. For people who intend to use it for sports, the additional weight on the stainless steel can definitely be felt, especially when running.

For those who use the AW as a watch to do sports, any thoughts of have it SS versus aluminum? Couple of considerations: (i) weight; (ii) easily scratched?

Feedback appreciated.

Let us know if it will affect the sensitivity of the screen.

Apple specialist told me best to go aluminum if you do very active sport and doesn’t care much of the appearance of the watch.

I am with M1 but since I ordered SS version, no choice will have LTE. M1 once commented they will look into it if there is a demand. Guess it will still take a while.

Ain't it the more you still get ss if you doing sport cause more durable?

I have used similar cases before. Should be fine

For active sports, you would want your watch to be as light as possible so that you don’t feel it. No doubt the aluminum will pick up more scratches so you should care too much about appearance if you choose that.

SS scratch is very visible

It is normal for the silver SS version and it can be polished off to its original shiny look.

i have used both before for sports
the weight is just slightly more for SS, not noticeable. Just get a sports strap ready.

The plus point is SS also looks well and pro in your business shirts whereas aluminium may looks abit casual.

There is one misconception I think should be cleared up. While AL is a softer metal compared to ss, I've find the ss version to show scratches much easily (silver to silver). The ss is shiny so any scratches will show up whereas the Al is matt finish so it will hide it better. I've had both and over a year the AL definitely looks better. And I want my AW for sports and everyday wear so for me the choice is clear.

Series 0 space grey AL watch scratches for u all to see

The back condition quite bad and I wonder why there are so many chips behind. I am using a watch stand for charging

I had the same problem with the first Apple Watch which I think is series 0. I brought it for exchange as it was covered with Apple care warranty. They mentioned coating problem. The exchange one didn’t had the same problem. It’s not due to charging stand.
