The latest Apple Watch — the Series 4, which debuted in September 2018 — is a complete redesign from the first three generations. That means you probably shouldn't expect another redesign for at least another two years.
The new Apple Watches have bigger displays than before — 40 and 44 millimeters, compared to 38 and 42 millimeters from older models — and the watch case is slightly thinner. But it's significantly faster than older models: The new S4 chip can achieve up to twice the performance of the previous S3 chip.
The latest Apple Watch features exclusive watch faces, including my personal favorite: the Infograph Modular face, which lets you see a lot of information at once. It also can perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) for the first time, thanks to a new heart sensor. The Apple Watch is the first consumer device with an ECG that's been approved by the FDA and American Heart Association.
Given the many improvements in the Series 4, now is the time to buy one, if you're thinking about it. Getting an Apple Watch now means you should be future-proof for a while.
With summer right around the corner, it's time to shed off that annual winter weight and get into shape.
Exercising, though, is much easier with a tool like the Apple Watch, which not only measures your performance but motivates you to maintain or build momentum every day.
The Apple Watch feels like the best personal trainer you can buy: It notices if I've been sitting too long, or am behind or ahead of my goals based on past days. I can log exercises and learn details about them at any point in the future, and I can see how my heart rate changes throughout the day based on my activity levels. I've never been so fascinated by my own personal fitness, and the Apple Watch makes that possible.
By investing in an Apple Watch, you're saying that you care about being active and healthy. If you are those things already, the Apple Watch will help you retain your fitness. If you aren't active and healthy just yet, the Watch is a great way to start down that path.

College students: Finals are right around the corner.
The end of the school year can be stressful, with tests and graduations and lots of general life changes happening around this time. Seasons change, days get longer, and the weather gets hotter. Kids, parents, and working adults alike are vulnerable to pressures around this time.
Thankfully, the Apple Watch is a great tool to calm down and de-stress. In fact, it does a better job than most alternatives I've tried, like mindfulness, meditation, and breathing exercises. If you're suffering from anxiety, or panic attacks, or anything of the like, the Apple Watch is a powerful tool to both focus and distract, which can help you improve your mental and physical health.
Apple Pay is the Apple Watch's best feature.
Double-tapping the side button summons your credit or debit card, and holding your Watch to a payment receiver completes the purchase instantly and securely. That's it!
Paying for goods with your wrist is easy, futuristic, and, well, awesome. You don't need to get your wallet out, you don't need to sign for anything, and you don't need to worry about someone skimming the numbers on the top of your card, or having it stolen. It's faster and more secure than those methods — and it's expanding, too.
Apple Pay is now available in over 30 countries, and it just debuted in six new countries at the beginning of April, including Austria, Estonia, Greece, Portugal, Slovakia, and Slovenia. If you live in one of those countries, now is a great time to get an Apple Watch. Plus, more public transportation systems around the world, including subways and buses in the US and beyond, are moving to support Apple Pay this year.
